Trust Provisions.

Notwithstanding the references herein or in any Debenture to this Indenture as a “Trust Indenture” or to Montreal Trust Company of Canada (or its successor hereunder, if any, or any additional trustee or co-trustee hereunder) as a “Trustee” or to it acting as Trustee, and except for any trust which may be created or constituted in Quebec for the purposes of sections 4.09, 6.02(3), 8.06, 9.02 or 13.04 (and only to the extent contemplated by such sections), no trust within the meaning of Chapter II of Title Six of Book Four of the Civil Code is intended to be or is created or constituted hereby.

Any such trust shall automatically be created by the mere fact of the transfer or the taking of possession by the Trustee of the property subject to and for the purposes of such trust. The administration of any such trust shall be governed by and in accordance with the provisions hereof (and, in particular, in the case of the Trustee, Article 13 hereof) which, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall supersede any provisions relating to the administration of property of others or other similar provisions of any applicable law.

Section 1.06

Invalidity Provisions.

In case any one of the provisions contained in this Indenture or the Debentures should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 1.07

Section 2.05

Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 in lawful money of Canada shall be executed by the Company and, forthwith after such execution, shall be delivered to the Trustee and shall be certified by the Trustee and delivered to or to the order of the Company upon receipt of the following:

-17-

Section 2.06

Concerning Interest.

Wherever in this Indenture there is mention in any context of the payment of interest, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of interest on amounts in default to the extent that, in such context, such interest is, was or would be payable and express mention of interest on amounts in default in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding such interest in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

Section 2.07

Execution of Debentures.

The Debentures shall be signed by the Chairman or the Vice Chairman or the President or an Executive Vice-President or a Vice-President and by the Secretary or the Treasurer or a Vice-President of the Company. The signatures of such officers may be reproduced in facsimile and Debentures bearing such facsimile signatures shall be binding upon the Company as if they had been manually signed by such officers. Notwithstanding that any of the individuals whose manual or facsimile signature appears on any Debenture as one of such officers may no longer hold office at the date of this Indenture or at the date of such Debenture or at the date of certification and delivery thereof, any Debenture signed as aforesaid shall be valid and binding upon the Company and entitled to the benefit hereof.

Section 2.08

Certification by the Trustee.

No Debenture shall be issued or, if issued, shall be obligatory or entitle the holder to the benefit hereof until it has been certified by or on behalf of the Trustee substantially in the form of the certificate set out in Schedule “A” hereto or in some other form approved by the Trustee and such certification by the Trustee upon any Debenture shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture so certified has been duly issued hereunder and is a valid obligation of the Company and that the holder is entitled to the benefit hereof.

The certificate of the Trustee on Debentures issued hereunder shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Trustee as to the validity of this Indenture or of the Debentures (except the due certification thereof) and the Trustee shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Debentures or any of them or of the proceeds thereof.

Section 2.09

Registration of Debentures.

The Company shall cause to be kept by and at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in the City of Montreal, a central Debentures register, and by and at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee (or by such other registrar or registrars, if any, as the Company with the approval of the Trustee may designate) in each of the Cities of Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg and in such other place or places as the Company with the approval of the Trustee may designate, branch registers in which shall be entered the names and latest known addresses of the Holders of Debentures and the other particulars, prescribed by law, of the Debentures held by them respectively and of all transfers of Debentures. Such name registration shall be noted on the Debentures by the Trustee or other registrar. No transfer of a Debenture shall be effective as against the Company unless made on one of the appropriate registers and made by the registered holder 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, upon compliance with such requirements as the Trustee or other registrar may prescribe, and unless such transfer shall have been duly noted on such Debenture by the Trustee or other registrar.

-18-

The registers referred to in this section shall at all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Company, by the Trustee and by any Debentureholder.

The Holder of a Debenture may at any time and from time to time have such Debenture transferred at any of the places at which a register is kept pursuant to the provisions of this section and in accordance with such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

The Holder of a Debenture may at any time and from time to time have the registration of such Debenture transferred from the register in which the registration thereof appears to another register maintained in another place authorized for that purpose under the provisions of this Indenture upon payment of a reasonable fee to be fixed by the Trustee.

Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any registrar shall be required to transfer or exchange any Debentures on any Interest Payment Date and for a period of 15 Business Days next preceding any Interest Payment Date.

None of the Trustee, any registrar for any of the Debentures and the Company shall be charged with notice of or be bound to see to the execution of any trust, whether express, implied or constructive, in respect of any Debenture and may transfer any Debenture on the direction of the holder thereof, whether named as trustee or otherwise, as though that person were the beneficial owner thereof.

Except in the case of the central register required to be kept at the City of Montreal and the branch registers required to be kept in each of the Cities of Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg, the Company shall have power at any time to close, with the prior approval of the Trustee, any branch register upon which the registration of any Debentures appears and in that event it shall transfer the records thereof to another existing register or to a new register and thereafter such Debentures shall be deemed to be registered on such existing or new register, as the case may be. In the event that the register in any place is closed and the records transferred to a register kept in another place, notice of such change shall be given, in the manner provided in section 2.15, to the Holders of the Debentures registered in the register so closed and in addition the particulars of such change shall be recorded in the central register required to be kept in the City of Montreal.

-19-

Every registrar shall, when requested to do so by the Company or the Trustee, furnish the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, with a list of the names and addresses of the Holders of Debentures showing the principal amounts and serial numbers of such Debentures held by each holder.

Section 2.10

Person Entitled to Payment.

The person in whose name any Debentures shall be registered shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes of this Indenture and payment of or on account of the principal, accrued interest and Remaining Interest Premium on such Debentures shall be made only to or upon the order in writing of such holder thereof and such payment shall be a good and sufficient discharge to the Trustee and any registrar and to the Company and any paying agent for the amount so paid.

Subject to section 3.06, as the interest on the Debentures becomes payable (except interest payable at maturity, conversion or on redemption which may, at the option of the Company, be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures for payment), the Company, at least three days prior to each Interest Payment Date, shall forward or cause to be forwarded by prepaid post (or in the event of mail service interruption by such other means as the Trustee and the Company shall determine to be appropriate), to the holder for the time being of each Debenture, at his address appearing on the appropriate register hereinbefore mentioned, or in the case of joint Holders, to the one whose name appears first on such register, a cheque for such interest (less any tax required by law to be deducted) payable to the order of such Holder or Holders and negotiable at par at each of the places at which interest upon the Debentures is payable. The forwarding of such cheque shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the interest on the Debentures to the extent of the sums represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax deducted as aforesaid) unless such cheque be not paid on presentation; provided that in the event of the non-receipt of such cheque by the holder, or the loss or destruction thereof, the Company on being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss or destruction and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it shall issue to such holder a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque.

The registered Holder for the time being of any Debenture shall be entitled to the principal and interest evidenced by such Debenture, free from all equities or rights of set-off, compensation or counterclaim between the Company and the original or any intermediate Holder thereof and all persons may act accordingly and a transferee of a Debenture shall, after the appropriate form of transfer is lodged with the Trustee or other registrar and upon compliance with all other conditions in that behalf required by this Indenture or by any conditions contained in such Debenture or by law, be entitled to be entered on the appropriate register or on any one of the appropriate registers as the owner of such Debenture free from all equities or rights of set-off, compensation or counterclaim between the Company and his transferor or any previous holder thereof, save in respect of equities of which the Company is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

-20-

Where Debentures are registered in more than one name, the principal and interest from time to time payable in respect thereof may be paid by cheque payable to the order of all such Holders, failing written instructions from them to the contrary, and such payment shall be a valid discharge to the Trustee and any registrar and to the Company and any paying agent for the amount so paid.

Section 2.11

Replacement of Debentures.

In case any of the Debentures shall become mutilated or defaced, or be lost, stolen or destroyed and in the absence of notice that such Debentures have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser (within the meaning of the Canada Business Corporations Act), the Company shall issue and thereupon the Trustee shall certify and deliver a new Debenture of like date and tenor as the one mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen or destroyed in exchange for and in place of and upon cancellation of such mutilated or defaced Debenture or in lieu of and in substitution for such lost, stolen or destroyed Debenture and the new Debenture shall be in a form approved by the Trustee and the new Debenture shall be entitled to the benefit hereof and rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Debentures issued hereunder.

The applicant for the issue of a new Debenture shall bear the cost of the issue thereof and in case of loss, destruction or theft shall, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof, furnish to the Company and the Trustee such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the Debenture so lost, destroyed or stolen as shall be satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee in their discretion and such applicant may also be required to furnish indemnity in amount and form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee in their discretion, and shall pay the reasonable charges of the Company and the Trustee in connection therewith.

Section 2.12

Exchange of Debentures.

Debentures in any denomination may be exchanged at any time for Debentures of the same aggregate principal amount in any other authorized denomination. Debentures may be so exchanged at any of the places at which a register (including any branch register) is maintained pursuant to section 2.09 or other convenient place of delivery selected by the Company and acceptable to the Trustee.

The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall certify all Debentures necessary to carry out exchanges pursuant to this Section 2.12. All Debentures surrendered for exchange shall be cancelled.

The party requesting any exchange pursuant to this section 2.12 shall, as a condition precedent to such exchange, reimburse the Trustee for any stamp or other security transfer tax or governmental charge required to be paid in respect of such exchange or the related issue of Debentures and in addition a reasonable charge for its services for each Debenture exchanged or transferred and a reasonable charge for every Debenture issued upon such exchange or transfer, and payment of the said charges shall be made by the party requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent thereto.

-21-

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no charge shall be made to a Debentureholder hereunder: (i) for any exchange or transfer of any Debenture applied for within a period of 60 days from the date hereof; or (ii) for any exchange, after such period, of Debentures in denominations in excess of $1,000 for Debentures in lesser denominations, provided that the Debentures surrendered for exchange shall not have been issued as a result of any previous exchange other than an exchange pursuant to (i) of this paragraph; or for any exchange of any Debenture issued under sections 3.08, 4.02 or 4.07(1).

Section 2.13

Payment of Interest and Principal.

Except as herein otherwise provided, all sums which may at any time become payable, whether at maturity or on a declaration or otherwise, on account of any Debenture or any interest thereon, shall be payable at the option of the holder at any of the places at which the principal and interest of such Debenture are payable.

Whenever any payment of principal or interest to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day in the place in which a Debenture is presented for payment, then the Debentureholder shall not be entitled to payment of the amount due in such place until the next succeeding Business Day in that place and will not be entitled to interest or other payment in respect of such delay.

Section 2.14

Rank and Subordination.

The Debentures certified and issued under this 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 expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full of Senior Liabilities, as provided in Article 6.

Section 2.15

All notices to be given hereunder with respect to the Debentures shall be deemed to be validly given to the Debentureholders if sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, by letter or circular addressed to such Holders at their post office addresses appearing in any of the registers hereinbefore mentioned. Any notice so given by mail shall be deemed to have been received three Business Days after the day of mailing. If any notice so given would be unlikely to reach the Debentureholders to whom it is addressed in the ordinary course of post by reason of an interruption in mail service, whether at the place of dispatch or receipt or both, the Company shall give such notice by publication once (twice in the case of a notice of a meeting of Debentureholders) in The Globe and Mail or any other English language daily newspaper of general circulation in Canada and in La Presse or any other French language daily newspaper of general circulation in the Province of Quebec. Any notice so given by publication shall be deemed to have been received on the day on which publication shall have been effected at least once in each of the newspaper in which publication was required. Accidental error or omission in giving notice or accidental failure to mail notice to any Debentureholder shall not invalidate any action or proceeding founded thereon.

-22-

All notices with respect to any Debenture may be given to whichever one of the Holders thereof (if more than one) is named first in the registers hereinbefore mentioned, and any notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all Holders of such Debenture.

In determining under any provision hereof the date when notice of any meeting or other event must be given, the date of giving the notice shall be included and the date of the meeting or other event shall be excluded.

Section 2.16

Section 2.19

From the sums so deposited, the Trustee shall pay or cause to be paid to the Holders upon surrender of the Debentures the Redemption Amount thereof.

Section 3.06

Right to Repay Redemption Amount in Subordinate Voting Shares.

(1)

Subject to the other provisions of this section 3.06, the Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay the Redemption Amount by delivering to Holders that number of Freely Tradeable Subordinate Voting Shares obtained by dividing the Redemption Amount by 95% of the then Current Market Price of Subordinate Voting Shares on the date fixed for redemption (the “Share Redemption Right”).

(2)

The Company shall exercise the Share Redemption Right by so specifying in the Redemption Notice.

(3)

The Company’s right to exercise the Share Redemption Right shall be conditional upon the following conditions being met on the Business Day preceding the date fixed for redemption:

If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the date fixed for redemption, the Company shall pay in cash the Redemption Amount of the Debentures.

(4)

In the event that the Company exercises its Share Redemption Right, upon presentation and surrender of the Debentures for payment on the date fixed for redemption at any place where a register (including any branch register) is maintained pursuant to section 2.09 or any other place specified in the Redemption Notice, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within three (3) days of the date fixed for redemption, make the delivery to the Trustee, for delivery to and on account of the Holders, of certificates representing the Subordinate Voting Shares to which such Holders are entitled.

(5)

No fractional Subordinate Voting Shares shall be delivered upon the exercise of the Share Redemption Right but, in lieu thereof, the Company shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, at the time contemplated in section 3.06(4), the cash equivalent thereof determined on the basis of the Current Market Price of Subordinate Voting Shares as at the date of redemption.

(6)

A Holder shall be treated as the shareholder of record of the Subordinate Voting Shares issued on exercise by the Company of its Share Redemption Right effective immediately after the close of business on the date of redemption, and to have become entitled to all 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 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.

(7)

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 the exercise of the Company’s Share Redemption Right as provided herein, and issue to Debentureholders to whom Subordinate Voting Shares will be issued pursuant to exercise of the Share Redemption Right, 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.

-26-

(8)

The Company shall comply with all Applicable Securities Legislation regulating the issue and delivery of Subordinate Voting Shares upon exercise of the Share Redemption Right 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.

(9)

The Company shall from time to time promptly pay or make provision satisfactory to the Trustee for the payment of all taxes and charges which may be imposed by the laws of Canada or any province thereof (except income tax or security transfer tax, if any) which shall be payable with respect to the issuance or delivery of Subordinate Voting Shares to Holders upon exercise of the Share Redemption Right pursuant to the terms of the Debentures and of this Indenture.

Section 3.07

Failure to Surrender Debentures Called for Redemption.

If the Holder of any Debentures called for redemption shall, within 30 days from the date fixed for redemption, fail to surrender any of such Debentures or shall not within such time accept payment of the Redemption Amount payable in respect thereof or give such receipt therefor, if any, as the Trustee may require, such Redemption Amount shall be set aside in trust for such Holder, in accordance with section 13.04, and such setting aside shall for all purposes be deemed a payment to the Debentureholder of the sum so set aside, and to that extent such Debentures shall thereafter not be considered as outstanding hereunder and the Debentureholder shall have no right as of the date fixed for redemption except to receive payment out of the moneys so paid and deposited or shares deposited, upon surrender of its Debentures, of the Redemption Amount of such Debentures, without interest thereon.

Section 3.08

Purchase of Debentures.

Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may purchase all or any of the Debentures in the open market (which shall include purchase from or through an investment dealer or a firm holding membership on a Recognized Exchange) or by tender or by private contract at any price, subject to compliance with Applicable Securities Legislation regarding issuer bid requirements.

If, upon an invitation for tenders, more Debentures than the Company is prepared to accept are tendered at the same lowest price, the Debentures to be purchased by the Company will be selected by the Trustee in such manner (which may include random selection by computer) as the Trustee may deem equitable, from the Debentures tendered by each tendering Debentureholder who tendered at such lowest price. For this purpose the Trustee may make, and from time to time amend, regulations with respect to the manner in which Debentures may be so selected and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all Debentureholders and, notwithstanding the fact that, as a result thereof, one or more of such Debentures become subject to purchase in part only. The Holder of any Debenture of which a part only is purchased, upon surrender of such Debenture for payment, shall be entitled to receive, without expense to such Holder, a new Debenture for the unpurchased part so surrendered and the Trustee shall certify and deliver such new Debenture upon receipt of the Debenture so surrendered.

(2)

The Company will send in the manner provided in section 2.15 to Debentureholders at least 40 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Maturity Date a notice (the “Maturity Notice”) in the form set forth in Schedule “C-1” hereto, together with an exercise notice in the form set forth in Schedule “C-2” hereto which will provide Debentureholders with the following options:

to convert Debentures only if the Subordinate Voting Share Value on the Maturity Date is greater than or equal to $1,000;

(b)

to convert Debentures whether or not the Subordinate Voting Share Value on the Maturity Date exceeds $1,000; or

(c)

to receive payment of the principal amount of the Debentures in cash, subject to exercise of the Share Repayment Right;

it being understood, in each case, that the accrued interest, if any, shall be paid in cash.

(3)

Debentureholders who select option (a), (b) or (c) set out in section 4.01(2) will be required to deliver to the Trustee at any of the places at which a register (including any branch register) is maintained pursuant to section 2.09 or any other place specified in the Maturity Notice before the close of business on the Determination Date an exercise notice in the form set forth in Schedule “C-2” hereto duly completed and executed by the Holder or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by instrument in form and execution satisfactory to the Trustee, together with the related Debentures. Debentureholders who do not deliver duly completed exercise notices on or before the close of business on the Determination Date will be deemed to have selected option (a) and the Debentures held by such Holders will automatically be converted into Subordinate Voting Shares subject to section 4.05 if the Subordinate Voting Share Value on the Maturity Date is greater than or equal to $1,000.

-28-

(4)

The Company shall specify in the Maturity Notice whether it will deliver Subordinate Voting Shares on conversion of the Debentures or elects to pay the Conversion Value in cash pursuant to section 4.05 and whether, if a Holder selects option (c) set out in section 4.01(2), the Company will exercise its Share Repayment Right pursuant to section 4.06.

(5)

Section 4.02

Conversion Right Upon an Offer.

(1)

Each Holder shall have the right at his option to convert with effect on the Early Conversion Date for the sole purpose of allowing the Holder to accept an Offer, each $1,000 principal amount of his Debentures into that number of Subordinate Voting Shares equal to the Conversion Number in effect on the Early Conversion Date, all on the terms and subject to the conditions provided in this Article 4. This right of conversion shall be deemed never to have come into effect should the Offer be withdrawn or the offeror fails to take up and pay the Subordinate Voting Shares.

(2)

Notwithstanding section 4.02(1), if the Offer is made for less than all of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares not held by the offeror and less than all of the Subordinate Voting Shares deposited pursuant to the Offer are taken up by the offeror, then each Holder who tenders Debentures for conversion shall be deemed to have elected to convert, for the sole purpose of allowing the Holder to accept the Offer only that portion of his Debentures so tendered equal to the percentage which the Subordinate Voting Shares taken up by the offeror represents of all Subordinate Voting Shares deposited pursuant to the Offer (other than Subordinate Voting Shares converted hereunder), as certified by an Officers’ Certificate. In the event that by virtue of the operation of this section 4.02(2) a Holder is deemed to have elected to convert a principal amount of Debentures which is not $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, such principal amount shall be rounded by the Trustee in its sole discretion to $1,000 or the nearest integral multiple thereof, with such adjustments as appropriate.

(3)

For the purposes of calculating the Conversion Number in effect on an Early Conversion Date arising as a result of an Offer, the Current Market Price of Subordinate Voting Shares shall be equal to the aggregate of (a) the amount of cash received in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share pursuant to the Offer and (b) an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as at the Early Conversion Date of securities or any other property received in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share pursuant to the Offer, as certified by an Officers’ Certificate.

(4)

As soon as reasonably practical and in any event within two Business Days after the making of an Offer, the Company shall give to the Trustee and to the Holders notice thereof in the form set forth in Schedule “D-1” hereto, together with a conversion notice in the form set forth in Schedule “D-2” hereto in the manner provided in section 2.15. The Company shall specify in such notice whether it will deliver Subordinate Voting Shares on conversion of the Debentures or elects to pay the Conversion Value in cash pursuant to section 4.05.

(5)

Debentures tendered for conversion as a result of an Offer may be withdrawn by the Holder thereof in any circumstances and under the same conditions a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares may withdraw its shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer and Applicable Securities Legislation. A Holder must exercise his withdrawal right by a duly executed notice to the Trustee in a form acceptable to the Trustee by a method that provides the Trustee with a written or printed copy. To be effective (i) a notice of withdrawal given prior to the Early Conversion Date must be actually received by the Trustee or a branch registrar prior to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to the Early Conversion Date at any of the places where a register (including any branch register) is maintained pursuant to section 2.09 or any other place specified in the notice given pursuant to section 4.02(4), and (ii) a notice of withdrawal given on the Early Conversion Date must be actually received by the Trustee at its principal corporate trust office in Montreal before 4:00 p.m. (Montreal time) on the Early Conversion Date. Where notice is given in accordance with this paragraph, the Trustee shall return the Debentures to the Holder as soon as reasonably practicable.

-30-

(6)

The Trustee shall as early as possible on the Early Conversion Date arising as a result of an Offer advise the Company of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures tendered for conversion and not withdrawn as of the close of business on the last Business Day prior to such Early Conversion Date and shall further advise the Company immediately following 4:00 p.m. (Montreal time) on the Early Conversion Date of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures tendered for conversion and not withdrawn.

(7)

On the Business Day preceding the Early Conversion Date, provided that it has not elected to pay the Conversion Value in cash pursuant to section 4.02(4), the Company shall ensure that the following conditions are met:

(a)

the qualification of the Subordinate Voting Shares to be issued to be Freely Tradeable;

(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 where 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 $1,000 principal amount of Debentures and the calculation of the Conversion Number on the Early Conversion Date; 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 Conversion Value 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 certificates.

Each Holder shall have the right at his option, upon the giving of the Notice by the Trustee pursuant to section 7.03 until the Time of Expiry, to convert each $1,000 in principal amount of his Debentures into that number of Subordinate Voting Shares obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Debenture plus the Remaining Interest Premium and accrued and unpaid interest, by 95% of the Current Market Price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the day of receipt by the Trustee of the deposit contemplated by section 4.04, notwithstanding any other rights the Holder may have, all on the terms and subject to the conditions provided in this Article 4.

(2)

As soon as reasonably practical and in any event within two Business Days after being notified by the Trustee of an Event of Default pursuant to section 7.03, the Company shall give to the Holders notice thereof in the form set forth in Schedule “E-1” hereto, together with a conversion notice in the form set forth in Schedule “E-2” hereto in the manner provided in section 2.15. The Company shall specify in such notice whether it will deliver Subordinate Voting Shares on conversion of the Debenture or elects to satisfy its obligation to pay the Conversion Value in cash pursuant to section 4.05.

(3)

The Trustee shall, on the next Business Day following a date upon which the Time of Expiry occurs, deliver written notice to the Company of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures in respect of which conversion notices are received following notification pursuant to section 4.03(2).

-32-

(e)

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 Conversion Value 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 certificates.

If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied on the day of receipt by the Trustee of the deposit contemplated by section 4.04, the Company shall pay in cash the Conversion Value of the Debentures, unless the Debentureholder waives such conditions which are not satisfied.

Section 4.04

Manner of Conversion on an Early Conversion Date.

(1)

Each Holder may convert any or, subject to section 4.02(2), all of his Debentures on an Early Conversion Date by depositing with the Trustee or branch registrar at any place where a register (including any branch register) is maintained pursuant to section 2.09 or any other place specified in the notice given pursuant to section 4.02(4) or 4.03(2), (i) in the case of a conversion arising as a result of an Offer, before the close of business on the last date on which holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to tender into the Offer and (ii) in the case of a conversion arising as a result of an Event of Default, on an Early Conversion Date, the Debentures which such Holder desires to convert with the prescribed form of conversion notice or on any other form of written notice of conversion acceptable to the Trustee, in either case duly completed and executed by the Holder or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Trustee.

(2)

Any conversion notice referred to in section 4.04(1) shall specify the principal amount of Debentures to be converted (to be not more than the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures deposited), provided that Debentures, other than Debentures issued under section 3.06 or 4.07(1), may only be converted in respect of principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

-33-

(2)

The Company shall exercise its right pursuant to section 4.05(1) by specifying in the Maturity Notice or the notice given pursuant to section 4.02(4) or 4.03(2), as the case may be, if the Company elects to make a cash payment to Holders in lieu of conversion.

If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied prior to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay in cash the principal amount of the Debentures that would otherwise have been paid in Subordinate Voting Shares, unless the Debentureholder waives the conditions which are not satisfied.

-35-

Section 4.09

Relating to the Issue of Subordinate Voting Shares.

(1)

A Holder shall be treated as the shareholder of record of the Subordinate Voting Shares issued on conversion of his Debentures or exercise by the Company of its Share Repayment Right and the issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares shall be deemed to have occurred for all purposes, effective immediately after the close of business on the Maturity Date in the case of sections 4.01 and 4.06, or on the Early Conversion Date in the case of a conversion pursuant to section 4.02 or on the date of receipt by the Trustee of the deposit contemplated by section 4.04 in the case of a conversion pursuant to section 4.03, as the case may be, and to have become entitled to all 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 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 or the exercise of the Company’s Share Repayment Right as provided herein, and issue to Debentureholders who may exercise their conversion rights hereunder or to whom Subordinate Voting Shares will be issued pursuant to exercise of the Share Repayment Right, such number of Subordinate Voting Shares as shall be issuable in such events. All Subordinate Voting Shares which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable.

ARTICLE 5

ADJUSTMENTS

Section 5.01

Adjustment Upon Consolidation or Subdivision.

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof, the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares are subdivided or redivided into a greater number of Subordinate Voting Shares or are reduced, combined or consolidated into a smaller number of Subordinate Voting Shares (each such event being referred to in this section as a “change”), the Subordinate Voting Share Rate shall thereafter be adjusted to be equal to the number of Subordinate Voting Shares which a holder of that number of Subordinate Voting Shares equal to the Subordinate Voting Share Rate (prior to such adjustment) would have been entitled to receive as a result of such change on the effective date of such change.

Section 5.02

Adjustment Upon a Reorganization Event.

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof there shall occur a Reorganization Event pursuant to a concurrent Offer or otherwise, the Current Market Price of Subordinate Voting Shares as at any such date on which the Current Market Price is required to be determined shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate of (a) the amount of cash received by holders of Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of each Subordinate Voting Shares upon the Reorganization Event and (b) an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as at such date of determination of securities received or any other property distributed in respect of each Subordinate Voting Shares upon the Reorganization Event.

Section 5.03

Adjustments as a Result of Certain Distributions and Extraordinary Cash Dividends.

(1)

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof the Company shall make a distribution of Distributed Property by way of a dividend, return of capital, rights offering or otherwise to holders of all or substantially all of the Subordinate Voting Shares, the Subordinate Voting Share Rate shall thereafter be equal to:

where:

equals 1,000 divided by the Subordinate Voting Share Rate in effect immediately prior to the distribution; and

is a number equal to the value of the Distributed Property in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share as determined by the Directors, acting reasonably, which determination shall be conclusive.

(2)

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof payment of a cash dividend by the Company results in an Extraordinary Cash Dividend in respect of the calendar year in which the dividend was paid, the Subordinate Voting Share Rate shall thereafter be equal to:

where:

-37-

equals 1,000 divided by the Subordinate Voting Share Rate in effect immediately prior to the payment of the Extraordinary Cash Dividend; and

is a number equal to the amount of the Extraordinary Cash Dividend in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share.

Section 5.04

Discretionary Adjustment.

In case the Company after the date hereof shall take any action affecting, or relating to, the Subordinate Voting Shares, other than any action described in sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 which in the opinion of the Directors would prejudicially affect the rights of Holders upon conversion, the Subordinate Voting Share Rate shall be adjusted by the Directors, subject to the prior consent of the Recognized Exchanges on which the Subordinate Voting Shares are listed, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as they may in their sole discretion determine 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 prior to the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the Subordinate Voting Shares shall be conclusive evidence that the Directors have determined that it is fair and equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

Section 5.05

Changes Affecting Subordinate Voting Shares.

If and whenever at any time after the date hereof there shall be a reclassification of Subordinate Voting Shares (other that a subdivision or consolidation), a change of Subordinate Voting Shares into other shares or into other securities, a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger which does not result in a re-classification or change of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares) (any such event being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), any Holder who is entitled to receive Subordinate Voting Shares as a result of either the exercise by the Holder of his conversion right or the exercise by the Company of its Share Redemption Right or Share Repayment Right after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of Subordinate Voting Shares, such other securities or other property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of Subordinate Voting Shares.

Section 5.06

Rules Applicable to Adjustments.

(1)

The adjustments provided for in sections 5.01 and 5.03 shall be cumulative and all adjustments provided for in Article 5 shall be made successively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the calculation of the Subordinate Voting Shares will be required unless the cumulative effect of such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1.00% to the Subordinate Voting Share Rate.

(2)

If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 5, such dispute shall be conclusively determined by the Directors, subject to the prior consent of the Recognized Exchanges on which the Subordinate Voting Shares are listed and any such determination shall be binding upon the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders.

-38-

(3)

If necessary and determined appropriate by the Directors, appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Directors in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 5 with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of Holders so that the adjustments as set forth in this Article 5 shall thereafter correspondingly be made in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon conversion of Debentures.

(4)

The Company shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment in the Subordinate Voting Share Rate or the occurrence of a Capital Reorganization or a Reorganization Event pursuant to section 5.02 provide to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the nature of such event and the impact thereof on the terms of Debentures and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of any adjustment.

Section 5.07

-39-

(2)

any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company or any other company provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate at least to the extent provided in this Article 6 with respect to the Debentures, to the payment of all Senior Liabilities, provided that (i) the Senior Liabilities is assumed by the new company, if any, resulting from such reorganization or readjustment and (ii) the rights of the holders of Senior Liabilities are not altered adversely by such reorganization or readjustment) to which the Debentureholders or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 6, will be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, a receiver-manager, a liquidator or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Liabilities or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Liabilities may have been issued, rateably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Liabilities held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Liabilities remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Liabilities; and

(3)

subject to section 6.06, if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any other company provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article 6 with respect to the Debentures, to the payment of all Senior Liabilities, provided that (i) the Senior Liabilities are assumed by the new company, if any, resulting from such reorganization or readjustment and (ii) the rights of the holders of Senior Liabilities are not altered adversely by such reorganization or readjustment), is received by the Trustee or the Debentureholders before all Senior Liabilities are paid in full, such payment or distribution will be held in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid over to the holders of such Senior Liabilities or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Liabilities may have been issued, rateably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Liabilities remaining unpaid until such Senior Liabilities have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Liabilities.

In case the time for payment of any such interest shall be so extended, whether for a definite period or otherwise, such interest shall not be entitled in case of default hereunder to the benefit of this Indenture except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of all Debentures then outstanding and of all interest on such Debentures, the payment of which has not been so extended;

Acceleration on Default.

In case any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion and shall upon receipt of a Debentureholders’ Request or if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution, subject to the provisions of section 8.03, declare the principal of and interest on all Debentures then outstanding and all other moneys payable hereunder to be due and payable and the same shall forthwith become immediately due and payable to the Trustee on written demand, anything therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Company shall in either case forthwith pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Debentureholders the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Debentures together with the Remaining Interest Premium and all other moneys payable hereunder, together with subsequent interest thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures from the date of the said declaration until payment is received by the Trustee, such subsequent interest to be payable at the times and places and according to the tenor of the Debentures.

(2)

the Trustee, so long as it has not become bound to institute any proceedings hereunder, shall have power to waive the default if, in the Trustee’s opinion, the same shall have been cured or adequate satisfaction made therefore and in such event to annul any such declaration and/or demand theretofore made by the Trustee in the exercise of its discretion, upon such terms and conditions as to the Trustee may seem advisable;

provided, however, that no act or omission of the Trustee or the Holders of the Debentures in the premises shall extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect any subsequent default or the rights resulting therefrom.

The Trustee may waive or authorize any breach or proposed breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Indenture or the Debentures if, in the opinion of the Trustee, such breach or proposed breach is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Debentureholders.

Section 8.04

Proceedings by the Trustee.

-46-

Whenever any Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, but subject to the provisions of section 8.03 and to the provisions of any Extraordinary Resolution:

the Trustee, in the exercise of its discretion and without further notice, may proceed to enforce the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Debentures by any action, suit, remedy or proceeding authorized or permitted by law or by equity and may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders of Debentures lodged in any bankruptcy, winding-up or other proceedings relative to the Company; and

(2)

upon receipt of a Debentureholders’ Request or if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution, and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction as provided in section 13.01, the Trustee shall exercise or take such one or more of the said remedies as the Debentureholders’ Request or Extraordinary Resolution may direct or, if such Debentureholders’ Request or Extraordinary Resolution contains no direction, as the Trustee may deem expedient.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of the Holders of Debentures to exercise any remedy referred to in this paragraph shall impair any such remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any default hereunder or acquiescence therein.

No such remedy for the enforcement of the rights of the Trustee or of the Holders of Debentures shall be exclusive of or dependent on any other such remedy but any one or more of such remedies may from time to time be exercised independently or in combination.

Upon the exercise or taking by the Trustee of any such remedies, whether or not a declaration and demand have been made pursuant to section 8.02, the principal and interest on all Debentures and other moneys payable under section 8.02 shall forthwith become due and payable to the Trustee as though such a declaration and a demand therefor had actually been made.

Section 8.05

Suits by Debentureholders.

Section 8.06

This Debenture is one of the 7.00% Equity Subordinated Debentures due February 15, 2002 in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 in lawful money of Canada issued under an Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of February 15, 1999 and made between the Company and Montreal Trust Company of Canada, as Trustee. 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 $1,000 and integral multiples of $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 (as defined in the Indenture). 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.

Each Debenture is convertible at maturity, at the option of the holder into that number of Subordinate Voting Shares equal to the Conversion Number. The Conversion Number will be calculated as of the date of conversion as (i) the Conversion Value as of such date (being the lesser of the Subordinate Voting Share Value and $1,425) divided by (ii) 95% of the then Current Market Price of the Subordinate Voting Shares. The Subordinate Voting Share Value will be equal to 43.4783 multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the date of conversion. The Company has the option, upon at least 40 days and not more than 60 days prior notice, in lieu of delivering Subordinate Voting Shares on conversion, to pay the Conversion Value in cash for Debentures tendered for conversion. The Conversion Number is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The Debentures will be convertible at the option of the holder prior to the Maturity Date upon the occurrence of an Offer or an Event of Default. Upon a conversion of Debentures, the Company will pay interest accrued to the date of conversion in cash (except in the case of a conversion upon an Event of Default.

The Company will send to Debentureholders at least 40 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Maturity Date a maturity notice (the “Maturity Notice”) which will provide Debentureholders with the following options:

(a)

to convert Debentures only if the Subordinate Voting Share Value at the Maturity Date is greater than or equal to $1,000;

(b)

to convert Debentures whether or not the Subordinate Voting Share Value at maturity exceeds $1,000; or

-69-

(c)

to receive payment of the principal amount of the Debentures in cash , subject to exercise of the Share Repayment Right (as hereinafter defined);

it being understood, in each case, that the accrued interest, if any, shall be paid in cash.

Debentureholders who select option (a), (b) or (c) above will be required to deliver to the Trustee before the close of business on the third trading day prior to Maturity Date (the “Determination Date”) a duly completed exercise notice in prescribed form, together with the related Debentures. Debentureholders who do not deliver a duly completed exercise notice on or before the close of business on the Determination Date will be deemed to have selected option (a) and the Debentures held by such holders will automatically be converted if the Subordinate Voting Share Value at the Maturity Date is greater than or equal to $1,000. The Company shall specify in the Maturity Notice whether it will deliver Subordinate Voting Shares on conversion of the Debentures or elects to pay the Conversion Value in cash and whether, if a holder selects option (c), the Company will exercise its Share Repayment Right.

Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its obligation to repay on the Maturity Date the principal amount of all, but not less than all, of the Debentures outstanding by delivering to holders that number of Freely Tradeable (as defined in the Indenture) Subordinate Voting Shares equal to the number obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Debentures by 95% of the then Current Market Price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the Maturity Date (the “Share Repayment Right”).

The Company will promptly deliver a notice in a form similar to the Maturity Notice to Debentureholders if and when an Offer or an Event of Default is made setting out the manner in which the conversion right may be exercised and specifying whether the Company elects, in lieu of delivering Subordinate Voting Shares, to pay the Conversion Value in cash for Debentures tendered for conversion.

The Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Debentures outstanding at any time before the Maturity Date upon payment of an amount for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed, equal to the aggregate of (i) $1,425; (ii) the Remaining Interest Premium; and (iii) all accrued and unpaid interest (the “Redemption Amount”) . The Company may satisfy the Redemption Amount in cash or by the delivery of a number of Freely Tradeable Subordinate Voting Shares equal to the Redemption Amount divided by 95% of the then Current Market Price.

Provided no Event of default has occurred and is continuing, 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, subject to compliance with Applicable Securities Legislation. 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.

MATURITY NOTICE

To:

Holders of 7.00% Equity Subordinated Debentures Due February 15, 2002 (the “Debenture”) of Telesystem International Wireless Inc. (the “Company”)

Notice is hereby given pursuant to section 4.01 of the Indenture dated as of February 15, 1999 between the Company and Montreal Trust Company of Canada, as trustee (the “Trustee”), that the Debentures will become due and payable as of February 15, 2002 (the “Maturity Date”) and that each $1,000 in principal amount of Debentures will become convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into the Conversion Number of Subordinate Voting Shares in effect as of the Maturity Date.

to convert Debentures only if the Subordinate Voting Shares Value as of the Maturity Date is greater than or equal to $1,000;

(b)

to convert Debentures whether or not the Subordinate Voting Shares Value as of the Maturity Date exceeds $1,000; or

(c)

to receive payment of the principal amount of the Debentures [in cash] [in Subordinate Voting Shares];

it being understood, in each case, that the accrued interest, if any, shall be paid in cash.

Holders who select option (b) may be acting contrary to their economic interests since, if the Subordinate Voting Shares Value as of the Maturity Date is less than $1,000, holders may receive greater consideration under option (c).

A holder who selects option (a), (b) or (c) will be required to deliver to [the Trustee/alternate conversion agent] at any of the following corporate trust offices:

[set out addresses of corporate trust offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg]

Debentures held by holders who are so deemed to have selected option (a) will automatically be converted if the Subordinate Voting Shares Value as of the Maturity Date is greater than or equal to $1,000.

A holder’s selection of an option on the Determination Date should take into account the Current Market Price of Subordinate Voting Shares as of the Maturity Date which is defined as the 20 day Weighted Average Trading Price determined as of the fourth Trading Day ending on or immediately prior to the Maturity Date.
