borrowed money that Honda has confirmed in writing as being covered by the Keep Well Agreement. Concurrently with the entering into of this Indenture, Honda will provide a confirmation that all debt incurred by the Corporation in respect of the Debentures shall constitute “Debt” for purposes of the Keep Well Agreement. The Keep Well Agreement is not a guarantee of the Debentures.

2.2 Debentures to Rank Pari Passu.

All Debentures of each series shall rank pari passu without discrimination, preference or priority with all other Debentures issued under this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto and all existing and future senior unsecured, unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Corporation. The Debentures will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all secured Indebtedness of the Corporation to the extent of the value of the assets securing any such Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall pay any amounts received under the Keep Well Agreement in respect of debt incurred in respect of the Debentures in accordance with the terms of the Keep Well Agreement.

2.3 Signing of Debentures

The Debentures shall be signed (either manually or by facsimile signature) by any two Responsible Officers. A facsimile signature upon any of the Debentures shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed to be the signature of the person whose signature it purports to be and to have been signed at the time such facsimile signature is reproduced. Notwithstanding that any of the individuals whose signature appears on any Debenture as a Responsible Officer may no longer hold office 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 Corporation and entitled to the benefit of this Indenture.

2.4 Certification by Issuing and Paying Agent

(1) 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 the Issuing and Paying Agent substantially in the form of the certificate set out in Schedule 3.1(1)(g) hereto or in the form specified in any supplemental indenture or in some other form approved by the Trustee and the Issuing and Paying Agent. Such certification by the Issuing and Paying Agent upon any Debenture shall be conclusive evidence against the Corporation that the Debenture so certified has been duly issued hereunder and is a valid obligation of the Corporation and that the holder is entitled to the benefits hereof.

(2) The certificate of the Issuing and Paying Agent on a Debenture shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Trustee or the Issuing and Paying Agent as to the validity of this Indenture or of such Debenture (except the due certification thereof and any other warranties imposed by law) and the Trustee and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Debentures or any of them or of the proceeds thereof.

2.5 Replacement of Debentures

(1) In case any Debenture is mutilated or lost, destroyed or stolen and in the absence of notice that such Debenture has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser (as defined in the CBCA), subject to Section 2.5(2), the Corporation shall issue, and thereupon the Issuing and Paying Agent shall certify and deliver without expense to the Debentureholder (except as provided in Section 4.3), a new Debenture of the same series and of like tenor as the one mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen. The new Debenture shall be entitled to the benefit hereof and rank equally in accordance with its terms with all other Debentures. The new Debenture shall be dated the date of the most recent interest payment in respect of the Debentures of the same series or, if no such interest has yet been paid, shall be dated the date of issuance of the Debentures of the same series.

(2) The applicant for the issue of a new Debenture pursuant to this Section 2.5 in case of loss, destruction or theft shall, as a condition precedent to the issue thereof, furnish to the Corporation and to 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 Corporation and the Trustee each in their discretion and such applicant shall also furnish an indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustee each in their discretion and shall pay all reasonable expenses incidental to the issuance of such substituted Debentures.

(3) The applicant for the issue of a new Debenture pursuant to this Section 2.5 in the case of mutilation shall as a condition precedent to the issue thereof, return the mutilated Debenture to the Trustee.

2.6 Computation of Interest

(1) Debentures, whether issued originally or upon exchange or in substitution for previously issued Debentures shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof in accordance with the terms of the Debentures from and including their date of issue to but excluding the applicable Maturity Date; unless, upon due presentation, payment of the principal of any Debenture is improperly withheld or refused in which case such Debenture shall continue to bear interest until such principal is paid in full.

(2) All interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for the principle of deemed re-investment of interest or otherwise, both before and after maturity and before and after default and/or judgment, if any, until payment in full, and interest shall accrue on overdue interest, if any, on each Debenture at the same rate applicable to the principal of such Debenture.

(3) Interest on the Debentures shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year, but shall be payable quarterly in accordance with Section 3.1(1)(c), and except as may otherwise be provided in respect of any series of Debentures.

- 12 -

2.7 Payment

Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8(1), Section 2.9 and Section 7.8, as interest and principal become due on each Debenture, whether at maturity or otherwise, the Corporation will send or will cause to be sent, at least five (5) Business Days prior to each payment date, by prepaid ordinary mail, a cheque drawn on a chartered bank in Toronto for such interest or principal, as the case may be, payable to the holder of such Debenture and addressed to the holder at the holder’s last address appearing on the Register unless otherwise directed in writing by the holder, provided that, in respect of the payment of principal of any Debenture due on the Maturity Date, such cheque will be mailed only upon the prior delivery of such Debenture to the Issuing and Paying Agent. The forwarding of such cheque will satisfy and discharge the liability for such interest or principal to the extent of the sum represented thereby unless such cheque is not paid on presentation at any of the places where such cheque is payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the non-receipt of any such cheque by the holder of such Debenture or the loss, theft or destruction thereof, the Corporation upon being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss, theft or destruction and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it will issue or will cause to be issued to such holder a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque. The Corporation shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee a written record of each payment made by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Debentureholders as soon as practicable thereafter.

2.8 Payment Based on Register

(1) Where Debentures are registered in the name of more than one holder, the principal and interest from time to time payable in respect thereof may be paid by or on behalf of the Corporation or its designee by cheque payable to the order of all such holders and addressed to the one of such holders whose name appears first on the Register at such holder’s last address appearing on the Register, failing written instructions from them to the contrary, and such payment will be a valid discharge to the Corporation, to the Trustee, and to the Issuing and Paying Agent.

(2) The holder for the time being of any Debenture shall be entitled to the principal and interest evidenced thereby, free from all equities or rights of set off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the original or any intermediate holder thereof (except any equities of which the Corporation is required to take notice by statute or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction) and all persons may act accordingly, and the payment to any such holder for the time being of any such principal or interest, will satisfy and discharge the liability of the Corporation or the Trustee for the same, and neither the Corporation nor the Trustee nor the Issuing and Paying Agent will be bound to enquire into the title of any such holder for the time being.

2.9 Payment Agreements for Debentures

Notwithstanding Sections 2.6 and 2.7 or anything else contained in this Indenture or the Debentures to the contrary other than Section 7.8, the Corporation shall, if so directed by the holder of a Debenture, at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date,

- 13 -

pay, or cause to be paid, to such holder the principal or interest, as applicable, on such Debenture and all other money payable hereunder by wire or electronic transfer of funds within Canada, such transfer to the holder to be sent no later than 1:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on such payment date and no presentment of any Debenture shall be necessary in connection with such payments. Any payment of the principal of, and interest on, any such Debenture and other money payable hereunder at such other place or in such other manner pursuant to such direction will, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Debentures, be valid and binding on the Corporation, the Trustee and all holders. The Corporation shall provide, or cause to be provided, copies of any such direction to the Trustee as soon as practicable after its execution.

(3) The Corporation and the Trustee may treat the holder of any Debenture as the owner thereof without actual production of such Debenture for the purpose of any Debentureholders’ Request, requisition, direction, consent, instrument or other document.

4.7 Debentures Issued Under Book-Entry System

(1) Debentures issued under the Book-Entry System (“Book-Entry Debentures”) will initially be issued in the form of a single global Debenture (a “Global Debenture”) held by, on or on behalf of, The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (together, with its nominees and successors, the “Depository”) as depository of such Global Debenture for the Participants, and registered on the applicable register in the name of the Depository or its nominee. A Global Debenture registered in the name of and delivered to the Depository or its nominee shall constitute a single Debenture for all purposes of this Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures. None of the Corporation, Trustee, the Issuing and Paying Agent, or any of their respective agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Debenture for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

(2) Each Global Debenture shall be certified and delivered by the Issuing and Paying Agent to the Depository, on behalf of the Participants, as depository of such Global Debenture. The Depository shall credit interests in such Global Debenture to the accounts of the Participants. No owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Debenture (each a “Book-Entry Debentureholder”) will be entitled to a certificate or other instrument from the Corporation, the Issuing and Paying Agent or the Depository evidencing that purchaser’s ownership thereof and no holder of a beneficial interest in a Series 2005-3 Debenture or Series 2005-4 Debenture will be shown on the records maintained by the Depository except through book-entry accounts of Participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners of direct and indirect interests in any Book Entry Debentures, or receive a Debenture certificate representing such holder’s interest in the Global Debenture, except as provided in subsection (4) of this Section or a Supplemental Indenture, as applicable. Unless and until Debenture certificates for any series of Debentures have been issued to the applicable Book Entry Debentureholders pursuant to subsection (4) of this Section or as otherwise specified in a Supplemental Indenture:

(a)

the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect with respect to such series;

(b)

the Corporation, the Issuing and Paying Agent and the Trustee may deal with the Depository for all purposes, including the making of payments and the delivery of any notice, report, statement or other communication, as the registered holder of Debentures of the applicable series and as the authorized representative of the respective Book-Entry Debentureholders of the applicable series;

- 19 -

(c)

to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section shall prevail;

(d)

the rights of the respective Book-Entry Debentureholders of such series shall be exercised only through the Depository, either directly or by proxy in favour of the respective Participants, and shall be limited to those established herein and by law;

(e)

all transfers and exchanges of Book-Entry Debentures of such series shall be made through the Book-Entry System and any person transferring a Book-Entry Debenture of such series in such manner will be deemed to have transferred to the transferee all of such person’s rights and obligations in respect thereof; all transferees of Book-Entry Debentures of such series will be deemed to have received and accepted such transfer and be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Indenture; and

(f)

for purposes of any provision of this Indenture requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Debentureholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Debentures of any series then outstanding, the Trustee is entitled to act and rely upon the instructions of the Depository that it has received, directly or indirectly through its Participants, to such effect from Book-Entry Debentureholders owning or representing, as applicable, the requisite percentage of Debentures of such series.

Subject to this subsection (2), each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Book-Entry Debentureholders are collectively entitled, under the terms hereof, to all of the rights (other than in respect of notices and payments) accorded to registered holders of Debentures and are bound by all of the obligations of such Debentureholders.

(3) If with respect to Book-Entry Debentures of any series:

(a)

the Corporation determines, in its sole discretion, to terminate the use of the Book-Entry System with respect to the Debentures of such series;

(b)

the Corporation advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as the Depository with respect to the Debentures of such series;

(c)

the Depository has ceased to be a clearing agency registered, if required, under applicable Canadian securities legislation or otherwise ceased to be eligible to be a depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days thereof; or

(d)

after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Depository advises the Trustee that it has received written notification from Book-Entry Debentureholders holding in excess of 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount then outstanding of the Debentures of such series, that the continuation of the Book-Entry System with respect to such Debentures is no longer in the best interests of the Book-Entry Debentureholders of such series,

- 20 -

then the Trustee shall notify the relevant Book-Entry Debentureholders, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Debenture certificates to Book-Entry Debentureholders requesting the same. Upon surrender by the Depository of the global certificate or certificates in multiples of $10,000, with a minimum permitted denomination of $150,000 representing the Debentures of any affected series and accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for re-registration, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall certify and deliver Debenture certificates for such affected series in accordance with the instructions of the Depository. Neither the Corporation, the Issuing and Paying Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively act and rely on, and shall be protected in acting and relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Debenture certificates, each of the Corporation, the Issuing and Paying Agent and the Trustee shall recognize the holders of such Debenture certificates as Debentureholders hereunder.

(4) The Corporation may agree to allow for the re-registration of certificated Debentures under the Book-Entry System and, upon notice in writing from the Corporation to that effect, the Trustee shall forthwith deliver notice thereof to each registered holder of such Debentures. Upon surrender by any such Debentureholder of its Debenture certificate accompanied by instructions for re registration of the Debenture under the Book-Entry System, such Debenture shall thereafter be re-issued under the Book-Entry System and be subject to subsections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of this Section, mutatis mutandis.
