                  been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision
                  therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made;

         (iii)    Debt Securities, except to the extent provided in Sections
                  13.1 and 13.2, with respect to which the Corporation has
                  effected defeasance and/or covenant defeasance as provided in
                  Article 13; and

         (iv)     Debt Securities in exchange for or in lieu of which other Debt
                  Securities have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to
                  this Indenture;

         provided, however, that in determining whether the holders of the
         requisite principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities have
         given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
         waiver hereunder or are present at a meeting of holders for quorum
         purposes, (i) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Debt
         Security that may be counted in making such determination or
         calculation and that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purpose
         shall be equal to the amount of principal thereof that would be (or
         shall have been declared to be) due and payable, at the time of such
         determination, upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity
         thereof pursuant to Section 6.2, (ii) the principal amount of any Debt
         Security denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars that may be
         counted in making such determination or calculation and that shall be
         deemed outstanding for such purpose shall be equal to the U.S. dollar
         equivalent, determined by the directors as of the date such Debt
         Security is originally issued by the Corporation, of the principal

<PAGE>

                                      -12-


         amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Debt Security,
         the U.S. dollar equivalent as of such date of original issuance of the
         amount determined as provided in clause (i) above) of such Debt
         Security, (iii) the principal amount of any Indexed Debt Security that
         may be counted in making such determination or calculation and that
         shall be deemed outstanding for such purpose shall be equal to the
         principal face amount of such Indexed Debt Security at original
         issuance, unless otherwise provided with respect to such Debt Security
         pursuant to Section 2.2, and (iv) Debt Securities owned by the
         Corporation or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any
         affiliate of the Corporation or of such other obligor shall be
         disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in
         determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making such
         calculation or in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization,
         direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Debt Securities which the
         Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Debt Securities
         so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as
         outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
         Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Debt
         Securities and that the pledgee is not the Corporation or any other
         obligor upon the Debt Securities or any affiliate of the Corporation or
         of such other obligor.

The Corporation irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New
York State or Federal court sitting in The City of New York over any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or any Debt
Security. The Corporation irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any objection which it may have to the laying of the venue of any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such
suit, action or proceeding

<PAGE>

                                      -13-


brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The
Corporation agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Corporation and
may be enforced in the courts of Canada or any province or territory of Canada
(or any other courts of the jurisdiction to which the Corporation is subject) by
a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon the
Corporation in the manner specified in this Section 1.6 or as otherwise
permitted by law.

As long as any of the Debt Securities remain outstanding and until the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all of the outstanding Debt
Securities has been paid in full or such payment duly provided for, the
Corporation will at all times have an authorized agent in the United States,

agent and written notice of such service mailed, delivered or sent by facsimile

Section 3.13 shall to the extent permitted by law be deemed in every respect
effective service of process upon the Corporation in any such legal action or
proceeding. The Corporation hereby appoints Corporation Service Company as its
agent for such purpose, and covenants and agrees that service of process in any
such legal action or proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent
at 80 State Street, 6th Floor, Albany, New York 12207 (or at such other address
as the Corporation may designate by written notice to the Trustee).

The Corporation hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or
proceeding of the nature referred to in the preceding paragraphs by service upon
such agent together with the mailing of a copy thereof or the delivery or
sending by facsimile of a copy thereof to the address of the Corporation
specified in or pursuant to Section 3.13 of this Indenture. The Corporation
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error
by reason of any such service (but does not waive any right to assert lack of
subject matter jurisdiction) and agrees that such service (i) shall be deemed in
every respect effective service of process upon the Corporation, in any such
suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery
to the Corporation.

procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by a
Written Order of the Corporation. In certifying such Debt Securities the Trustee

         or by law in connection with the proposed issue of Debt Securities have

whose manual or facsimile signature appears on any Debt Security or coupon as
one of such officers may no longer hold the official capacity in which he signed
at the date of this Indenture or at the date of such Debt Security or coupon or
at the date of certification and delivery thereof, any Debt Security or coupon

2.6      CERTIFICATION BY TRUSTEE

(a)      No Debt Security shall be issued or shall be obligatory or entitle the
         holder to the benefit hereof until it has been certified by the Trustee
         substantially in the following form:

<PAGE>

                                      -18-


                              TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE

                  This is one of the [name of or defined term for Debt Security]
                  referred to in the Indenture within mentioned.

                  CIBC MELLON TRUST COMPANY, Trustee


                  by:
                     -----------------------------------------
                      Authorized Officer

                  Date of Certification:

         or in some other form approved by the Trustee. The certification by the
         Trustee upon any Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence that the
         Debt Security so certified has been duly issued hereunder and is a
         valid obligation of the Corporation.

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

2.7      INTERIM DEBT SECURITIES

Pending the delivery of definitive Debt Securities of any series to the Trustee,
the Corporation may issue and the Trustee certify in lieu thereof interim Debt
Securities, with or without coupons, in such forms and in such denominations and
signed in such manner as provided herein, entitling the holders thereof to
definitive Debt Securities of the said series when the same are ready for
delivery, or the Corporation may execute and the Trustee certify an interim Debt
Security for the whole principal amount of Debt Securities of the said series
then authorized to be issued hereunder and deliver the same to the Trustee and
thereupon the Trustee shall, when the same are ready for delivery, certify
definitive Debt Securities in such form and in such amounts, not exceeding in
the aggregate the principal amount of the interim Debt Security so delivered to
it, as the Corporation and the Trustee may approve. When so issued and
certified, such interim Debt Securities shall, for all purposes but without
duplication, rank in respect of this Indenture equally with Debt Securities duly
issued hereunder and, pending the exchange thereof for definitive Debt
Securities, the holders of the said interim Debt Securities shall be deemed
without duplication to be Debt Security holders and entitled to the benefit of
this Indenture to the same extent and in the same manner as though the said
exchange had actually been made. Forthwith after the Corporation shall have
delivered the definitive Debt Securities to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
cancel such interim Debt Securities, if any, and shall call in for exchange all
interim Debt Securities that shall have been issued and forthwith after such
exchange shall cancel the same together with all unmatured coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto. No charge shall be made by the Corporation or the Trustee
or any transfer agent to the holders of such interim Debt Securities for the
exchange thereof. All interest paid upon interim Debt Securities without coupons
shall be noted on the definitive Debt Securities as a condition precedent to
delivery of definitive Debt Securities unless paid by cheque to the registered
holders thereof.

                                      -19-


2.8      ISSUE OF SUBSTITUTIONAL DEBT SECURITIES

In case any of the Debt Securities issued and certified hereunder or coupons
appertaining thereto shall become mutilated or be lost, destroyed or stolen, the
Corporation in its discretion may issue, and thereupon the Trustee shall certify
and deliver, a new Debt Security or coupon of like date and tenor as the one
mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen in exchange for and in place of and upon
cancellation of such mutilated Debt Security or coupon or in lieu of and in
substitution for such lost, destroyed or stolen Debt Security or coupon and the
substituted Debt Security or coupon shall be in a form approved by the Trustee
and shall be entitled to the benefit hereof and rank equally in accordance with
its terms with all other Debt Securities or coupons issued or to be issued
hereunder. The applicant for a new Debt Security or coupon 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 Corporation and to the
Trustee such evidence of ownership and of the loss, destruction or theft of the
Debt Security or coupon so lost, destroyed or stolen as shall be satisfactory to
the Corporation and to the Trustee in their discretion and such applicant may
also be required to furnish an indemnity in amount and form satisfactory to the
Corporation and the Trustee in their discretion, and shall pay the reasonable
charges of the Corporation and the Trustee in connection therewith.

2.9      PLEDGE AND RE-ISSUE OF DEBT SECURITIES

Provided that the Corporation is not at the time in default hereunder, all or
any of the Debt Securities may be pledged, hypothecated or charged from time to
time by the Corporation as security for advances or loans to or for Indebtedness
or other obligations of the Corporation, provided that the principal amount of
the advances, loans, Indebtedness or other obligations so secured is initially
not less than 100% of the principal amount of Debt Securities so pledged,
hypothecated or charged in respect thereof. When such Debt Securities are
redelivered to the Corporation or its nominees on or without payment,
satisfaction, release or discharge in whole or in part of any such advances,
loans, Indebtedness or obligations, pursuant to any provision of the Debt
Securities, such Debt Securities may be held by the Corporation for such period
or periods as it deems expedient and shall (except when acquired pursuant to any
provision of the Debt Securities or of this Indenture or pursuant to a
resolution of the directors of the Corporation which provision or resolution
requires cancellation and retirement of such Debt Securities so acquired) while
the Corporation remains in possession thereof be treated as unissued Debt
Securities and accordingly may be issued or re-issued, pledged or charged, sold
or otherwise disposed of as and when the Corporation may think fit, and all such
Debt Securities so issued, re-issued or pledged or charged, sold or otherwise
disposed of before but not after the respective dates of maturity thereof shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 1.2, continue to be entitled, as upon their
original issue, to the benefit of all the terms, conditions, rights, priorities
and privileges hereby attached to or conferred on Debt Securities issued
hereunder.

2.10     COMMENCEMENT OF INTEREST

(a)      The coupons, if any, matured at the date of delivery by the Trustee of
         any coupon Debt Securities shall be detached therefrom and cancelled
         before delivery, unless such Debt Security is being issued in exchange
         or in substitution for another Debt Security (whether in interim or
         definitive form) other than pursuant to Section 2.8, whereupon such
         matured coupons shall represent unpaid interest to which the holder of
         such exchanged or substituted Debt Security is entitled.

(b)      Each fully registered Debt Security issued hereunder, whether
         originally or upon exchange or in substitution for previously issued
         Debt Securities, shall, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section
         2.2, bear interest from its date of original issue or from the last
         interest payment date to which interest shall have been paid or made
         available for payment on such Debt Security, whichever shall be the
         later;

(c)      Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.2, interest on Debt
         Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year comprised
         of 12 30-day months.

(d)      For the purposes only of the disclosure required by the INTEREST ACT
         (Canada), and without affecting the amount of interest payable to any
         holder of a Debt Security or the calculation of interest on any Debt
         Security, if any rate of interest on any Debt Security is calculated on
         the basis of a year (the "deemed year") which contains fewer days than
         the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such
         rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate for the purposes
         of the INTEREST ACT (Canada) by multiplying such rate of interest by
         the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and
         dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

2.11     DEBT SECURITIES TO RANK PARI PASSU

All Debt Securities shall rank PARI PASSU without discrimination, preference or
priority, whatever may be the actual date or terms of the issue of the same
respectively, save only as to sinking fund provisions (if any) applicable to one
or more series.

2.12     ADDITIONAL TERMS

(a)      As provided in Section 2.2, there may also be established, in the
         manner described in Section 2.2, with respect to any particular series
         of Debt Securities, if applicable, that the Debt Securities of the
         series shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more
         Global Debt Securities and, in such case, the Depositary or
         Depositaries for such Global Debt Securities in whose name the Global
         Debt Securities will be registered, and any circumstances other than or
         in addition to those set forth in Section 2.8 or Section 2.14 hereof or
         those applicable with respect to any specific series of Debt
         Securities, as the case may be, in which any such Global Debt Security
         may be exchanged for coupon Debt Securities or fully registered Debt
         Securities, or transferred to and registered in the name of a Person
         other than the Depositary for such Global Debt Securities or a nominee
         thereof or a successor Depositary or nominee thereof.

         of its designation and at all times while it serves as such Depositary,
         be a clearing agency registered or designated under the securities
         legislation of the jurisdiction applicable to the issue of such Debt

                  Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof, except
                  in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture and,
                  unless and until it is exchanged for Debt Securities in
                  definitive certificated form as aforesaid, may not be
                  transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee
                  of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the

         SECURITIES

(a)      Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture but except as may
         otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 2.2, unless and until it is
         wholly exchanged for fully registered Debt Securities or coupon Debt
         Securities in definitive form in accordance with the terms hereof or
         the particular terms applicable to the series of Debt Securities it
         represents, a Global Debt Security representing all or a portion of the
         Debt Securities of any series may not be transferred except as a whole
         by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by
         a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or to another nominee
         of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a
         successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor
         Depositary.

(b)      If at any time the Depositary of a Global Debt Security representing
         all or a portion of the Debt Securities of a series notifies the
         Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary of
         such Global Debt Security, or ceases to be eligible to be a Depositary
         under subsection 2.12(b) hereof, the Corporation shall appoint a
         successor Depositary with respect to such Global Debt Security. If a
         successor Depositary is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days
         after the Corporation receives such notice or becomes aware of such
         ineligibility, the Corporation's determination that the Debt Securities
         represented by such Global Debt Security be held as a Global Debt
         Security shall no longer be effective with respect to the Debt
         Securities represented by such Global Debt Security, and the
         Corporation will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Written
         Order of the Corporation for the certification and delivery of
         individual Debt Securities of such series, will certify and deliver, in
         exchange for such Global Debt Security, individual Debt Securities of
         such series, in accordance with subsections 2.14(e) and (f), in an
         aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of, and with
         the same terms as, such Global Debt Security.

(c)      The Corporation may at any time and in its sole discretion determine
         that Debt Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more
         Global Debt Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global
         Debt Securities, in which event the Corporation will execute, and the
         Trustee, upon receipt of a Written Order of the Corporation for the
         certification and delivery of individual Debt Securities of such
         series, will certify and deliver, in exchange for such Global Debt
         Securities, individual Debt Securities of such series, in accordance
         with subsections 2.14(e) and (f), in an aggregate principal amount
         equal to the principal amount of, and with the same terms as, such
         Global Debt Securities.

(d)      A Global Debt Security shall be exchanged for individual Debt
         Securities of a series upon the Trustee notifying the Depositary in
         writing that the Trustee has determined that an Event of Default has
         occurred and is continuing with respect to the Debt Securities of the
         series represented by such Global Debt Security in which event the
         Corporation will execute, and the Trustee will certify and deliver, in
         exchange for such Global Debt Security, individual Debt Securities of
         such series in accordance with subsections 2.14(e) and (f), in an
         aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of, and with
         the same terms as, such Global Debt Security.

(e)      In any exchange provided for in any of subsections 2.14(b), (c) and
         (d), or in the terms applicable to any particular series of Debt
         Securities, the Corporation will execute and the Trustee will certify
         and deliver individual Debt Securities in definitive certificated form:
         (i) as fully registered Debt Securities in authorized denominations if
         the Debt Securities of such series are issuable as fully registered
         Debt Securities; (ii) as coupon Debt Securities, registrable as to
         principal only, in authorized denominations with coupons attached if
         the Debt Securities of such series are issuable as coupon Debt
         Securities registrable to the principal only; (iii) as coupon Debt
         Securities not registrable as to principal if the Debt Securities of
         such series are issuable as coupon Debt Securities not registrable as
         to principal; or (iv) in any combination of the foregoing Debt
         Securities, if issuable as such; all according to instructions from the
         Depositary to the Trustee in that regard, as contemplated by subsection
         2.14(f), and all in the denominations applicable to such series.

(f)      Upon the exchange of a Global Debt Security for individual Debt
         Securities in definitive form, pursuant to any of subsections 2.14(b),
         (c) and (d), or pursuant to the terms applicable to any particular
         series of Debt Securities, such Global Debt Security shall be cancelled
         by the Trustee. Individual registered Debt Securities exchanged for
         portions of a Global Debt Security shall be registered in such names
         and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global
         Debt Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct and indirect
         participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee
         shall deliver any such registered Debt Securities to the Persons in
         whose names such Debt Securities are so registered. The Trustee shall
         deliver individual coupon Debt Securities exchanged for a Global Debt
         Security to the Persons, as the Depositary for such Global Debt
         Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
         participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.

(g)      If authorized by the Corporation pursuant to Section 2.12, with respect
         to a series of Debt Securities issued in the form of one or more Global
         Debt Securities, the Depositary registered as holder of a Global Debt
         Security representing such series of Debt Securities may surrender the
         Global Debt Security for such series of Debt Securities in exchange in
         whole or in part for definitive certificated Debt Securities of such
         series on such terms as are acceptable to the Corporation and such
         Depositary. Thereupon, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee
         shall certify and deliver: (i) to each Person specified by such
         Depositary, one or more new definitive certificated Debt Securities of
         the same series in any authorized denomination as requested by such
         Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such
         Person's beneficial interest in the Global Debt Security; and (ii) to
         such Depositary a new Global Debt Security in the principal amount of
         the surrendered Global Debt Security less the aggregate principal
         amount of new individual Debt Securities delivered to Persons under
         clause (i) of this subsection 2.14(g).

(h)      All Debt Securities executed for delivery upon any transfer or exchange
         of a Global Debt Security shall be valid obligations of the
         Corporation, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits
         under this Indenture as the Global Debt Security surrendered for such
         transfer or exchange.

(i)      Participants in the Depositary ("Participants") holding beneficial
         interest in a Global Debt Security held on their behalf by the
         Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depositary shall
         not be deemed holders of such Global Debt Securities and the Depositary
         may be treated by the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the
         Corporation or the Trustee as the sole and absolute owner of a Global
         Debt Security for all purposes. Except as otherwise provided pursuant
         to Section 2.2 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series,
         payments of principal of and interest on Debt Securities represented by
         a Global Debt Security shall be made by the Corporation to the
         Depositary or its nominee as the registered owner of such Debt
         Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent
         the Corporation, the Trustee or any agent of the Corporation or the
         Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
         authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the
         Depositary and its Participants, the operation of customary practices
         of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of
         a beneficial interest in any Global Debt Security.

(j)      Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, but except as may be
         otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.2 with respect to the Debt
         Securities of any series, (i) payments on the Global Debt Securities of
         any series registered in the name of DTC (or any successor Depositary)
         or its nominee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
         funds unless otherwise required by such Depositary; (ii) if definitive
         certificated Debt Securities of any series are issued in exchange for
         interests in any Global Debt Securities of such series, the Corporation
         will pay the principal of and interest, if any, on such definitive
         certificated Debt Securities by wire transfer of immediately available
         funds (provided that the holders thereof shall have provided
         appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Corporation); and (iii)
         if definitive certificated Debt Securities of any series are issued in
         exchange for interests in any Global Debt Securities of such series, or
         if the Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series shall so
         require, the Corporation will maintain a Paying Agent, registrar and
         transfer agent for the Debt Securities of such series in the Borough of
         Manhattan, The City of New York.

         series or pursuant to Section 2.2 or required pursuant to Section 2.14
         (j) and at such other place or places as may from time to time be

to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.

Subject to Section 2.14(j) and without limitation to the right of the
Corporation to appoint additional Paying Agents, transfer agents and registrars,

series of Debt Securities (other than the Corporation) in Calgary, Alberta and,
if required with respect to a series of Debt Securities, the Corporation shall

payment of or on account of the principal of and premium, if any, on such Debt
Security and, in the case of a fully registered Debt Security, interest thereon
shall be made to such registered holder. The Corporation and the Trustee may
deem and treat the bearer of any unregistered Debt Security and the bearer of
any coupon, whether or not the Debt Security from which it has been detached
shall be registered as to principal, as the absolute owner of such Debt Security
or coupon, as the case may be, for all purposes and the Corporation and the
Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

3.10     PAYMENT FREE FROM EQUITIES

The registered holder for the time being of any registered Debt Security and the
bearer of any unregistered Debt Security and the bearer of any coupon (except
any coupon which shall be void by reason of redemption pursuant to Section 4.4,
or the acceleration pursuant to Section 6.2, of the coupon Debt Security to
which it was annexed) shall be entitled to the principal, premium, if any,
and/or interest evidenced by such instruments respectively free from all
equities or rights of set-off or counterclaim between the Corporation and the
original or any intermediate holder thereof and all Persons may act accordingly
and the receipt of any such registered holder or bearer, as the case may be, for
any such principal, premium or interest shall be a good discharge to the
Corporation and/or the Trustee for the same and neither the Corporation nor the
Trustee shall be bound to inquire into the title of any such registered holder
or bearer.

coupons, for the purpose of any requisition, direction, consent, instrument,
proxy or other document to be made, signed or given by the holder of the Debt
Securities so deposited.

         addresses appearing on the register above mentioned, and if in the case
         of joint holders of any Debt Security more than one address appears in
         the register in respect of such joint holding, such notice shall be
         addressed only to the first address so appearing; and

(b)      to the holders of unregistered Debt Securities if such notice is
         published once in each of two successive weeks in a newspaper of
         general circulation in the United States, as approved by the Trustee;

provided that in the case of notice convening a meeting of Debt Security
holders, the Trustee may require such additional publications of such notice as
it may deem necessary for the reasonable protection of the Debt Security
holders.

Any notice delivered in person or by facsimile shall be deemed to have been

at least once contemporaneously or previously in all other of such newspapers.
In determining under any provision hereof the date when notice of any meeting,
redemption or other event must be given, the date of giving the notice shall be
included and the date of the meeting, redemption or other event shall be
excluded. Accidental error or omission in giving notice or accidental failure to

proceeding founded thereon.

ARTICLE 4. - REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF DEBT SECURITIES

4.1      APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE

The Corporation shall have the right at its option to redeem any Debt Securities
issued hereunder of any series which by their terms are made so redeemable
(subject, however, to any applicable restriction on the redemption of Debt
Securities of such series) at such rate or rates of premium, if any, and on such
date or dates and in accordance with such other provisions as shall have been
established pursuant to Section 2.2 at the time of issue of such Debt
Securities.

4.2      PARTIAL REDEMPTION

In the event that less than all the Debt Securities of any series for the time
being outstanding are at any time to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in
such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, the Debt Securities to be
redeemed in whole or in part. For this purpose, the Trustee may make, and from
time to time vary, regulations with respect to the manner in which such Debt
Securities may be selected for redemption and regulations so made shall be valid
and binding upon all holders of such Debt Securities notwithstanding the fact
that as a result thereof one or more of such Debt Securities may become subject
to redemption in part only. In the event that one or more of such Debt
Securities becomes subject to redemption in part only, upon surrender of any
such Debt Securities for payment of the redemption price, the Corporation shall
execute and the Trustee shall certify and deliver without charge to the holder
thereof or upon his order one or more new Debt Securities of the same series and
terms for the unredeemed part of the principal amount of the Debt Security or
Debt Securities so surrendered. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms
"Debt Security" or "Debt Securities" as used in this Article 4 shall be deemed
to mean or include any part of the principal amount of any Debt Security which
in accordance with the foregoing provisions has become subject to redemption.

4.3      NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

Notice of redemption of any series of Debt Securities shall be given to the
holders of the Debt Securities so to be redeemed not more than 60 days nor less
than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, in the manner provided in
Article 3. The Corporation shall give the Trustee notice of such redemption at
least 45 days prior to the date of the proposed notice of redemption to the
holders

<PAGE>

                                      -30-


of the Debt Securities (or such shorter notice period as is satisfactory to the
Trustee), specifying the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and
their redemption date. Every notice of redemption to the holders of the Debt
Securities so to be redeemed shall specify the aggregate principal amount of
Debt Securities held by such holders which are being called for redemption, the
redemption date, the redemption price and the places of payment and shall state
that interest upon the principal amount of Debt Securities called for redemption
shall cease to be payable from and after the redemption date. In addition,
unless all the outstanding Debt Securities are to be redeemed, the notice of
redemption shall specify:

(a)      in the case of a published notice the distinguishing letters and
         numbers of the Debt Securities which are to be redeemed; and

(b)      in the case of a notice mailed to a registered Debt Security holder,
         the distinguishing letters and numbers of the registered Debt
         Securities which are to be redeemed (or of such thereof as are
         registered in the name of such Debt Security holder) and the principal
         amounts of such Debt Securities or, if any such Debt Security is to be
         redeemed in part only, the principal amount of such part.

In the event that all Debt Securities to be redeemed are registered Debt
Securities, publication shall not be required.

4.4      DEBT SECURITIES DUE ON REDEMPTION DATES

Notice having been given as aforesaid, all the Debt Securities so called for
redemption shall thereupon be and become due and payable at the redemption price
together with, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.2 and subject to
Section 4.5, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the redemption date
specified in such notice, in the same manner and with the same effect as if it
were the date of maturity specified in such Debt Securities, anything therein or
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and from and after such redemption date,
if the moneys necessary to redeem such Debt Securities shall have been deposited
as provided in Section 4.5 and affidavits or other proof satisfactory to the
Trustee as to the publication and/or mailing of such notices shall have been
lodged with it, the said Debt Securities shall cease to bear interest on the
date fixed for such redemption specified in such notices and coupons for
interest to accrue after the said date upon the said Debt Securities shall
become and be void and the only right of holders of such Debt Securities will be
to receive payment of the redemption price plus accrued interest, if any. In the
case any question shall arise as to whether any notice has been given as above
provided and such deposit made, such question shall be decided by the Trustee
whose decision shall be final and binding upon all parties in interest.

4.5      DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION MONEYS

Redemption of Debt Securities shall be provided for by the Corporation
depositing with the Trustee or any Paying Agent to the order of the Trustee, on
or before the redemption date specified in such notice, such sums as may be
sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Debt Securities so called for
redemption, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. From the
sums so deposited the Trustee shall pay or cause to be paid to the holders of
such Debt Securities so called for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt
Securities with the unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining

<PAGE>

                                      -31-


thereto, the principal, premium, if any, and interest to which they are
respectively entitled on redemption, provided that, in the case of coupon Debt
Securities, the accrued interest as represented by coupons matured prior to, or
on, the redemption date shall continue to be payable (but without interest
thereon, unless the Corporation shall make default in the payment thereof upon
demand) to the respective bearers of the coupons therefor upon presentation and
surrender thereof, and provided, further, that unless otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 2.2 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series,
installments of interest on Debt Securities which are due and payable on any
date on or prior to the relevant redemption date will be payable to the holders
of such Debt Securities (or one or more predecessor Debt Securities) registered
as such at the close of business on the relevant record dates.

4.6      CANCELLATION OF DEBT SECURITIES REDEEMED

All Debt Securities redeemed and paid under this Article 4 together with all
unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall forthwith be delivered to
the Trustee and cancelled and no Debt Securities shall be issued in substitution
therefor.

4.7      PURCHASE OF DEBT SECURITIES BY THE CORPORATION

Unless otherwise specifically provided with respect to a particular series of
Debt Securities, the Corporation may if it is not at the time in default
hereunder, at any time and from time to time, purchase Debt Securities in the
market (which shall include purchase from or through an investment dealer or a
firm holding membership on a recognized stock exchange) or by tender or by
contract. All Debt Securities so purchased, together with any unmatured coupons
appertaining thereto, may, at the option of the Corporation, be delivered to the
Trustee whereupon they shall be cancelled and no Debt Securities shall be issued
in substitution therefor. Alternatively, the Corporation may, subject to any
mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions, hold and re-issue
the Debt Securities so purchased, and the provisions of Section 2.9 shall apply
MUTATIS MUTANDIS.

ARTICLE 5 -       COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION

5.1      GENERAL COVENANTS

The Corporation covenants with the Trustee that so long as any Debt Securities
remain outstanding:

(a)      The Corporation shall well, duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid
         to every holder of every Debt Security issued hereunder the principal
         thereof, premium, if any, and interest accrued thereon, if any
         (including, in the case of default, interest at the rate specified
         therein on the amount in default or, if no such interest rate is
         specified therein, at the same rate of interest as is borne by such
         Debt Securities) at the dates and places, in the currencies and in the
         manner mentioned herein and in such Debt Securities and in the coupons,
         if any, appertaining thereto. Subject to Sections 1.7 and 2.14, as
         interest becomes due on each fully registered Debt Security (except at
         maturity or on redemption, when interest may at the option of the
         Corporation be paid upon surrender of such Debt Security) the
         Corporation, either directly or through the Trustee, shall send, at
         least five days prior to each date on which interest becomes due, by
         prepaid ordinary mail, a cheque for such interest (less any tax
         required to be withheld therefrom) payable to the order of the then
         registered holder of

<PAGE>

                                      -32-


         such Debt Security at the close of business on the relevant record
         dates and addressed to him at his last address appearing on the
         register, unless such holder otherwise directs. In the case of joint
         holders, cheques for principal and interest shall, unless such joint
         holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of all of such
         joint holders and the receipt or deemed receipt by any one of such
         holders therefor shall be a valid discharge to the Trustee and any Debt
         Security registrar and to the Corporation. If, in the case of fully
         registered Debt Securities, more than one address appears on the
         register in respect of a joint holding any cheque for interest shall be
         mailed to the first address so appearing. The mailing of any cheque
         shall, to the extent of the sum represented thereby, plus the amount of
         any tax withheld as aforesaid, satisfy and discharge all liability for
         interest on a Debt Security, unless such cheque be not paid at par on
         presentation at any one of the places where such interest is, by the
         terms of such Debt Security and the coupons, if any, pertaining
         thereto, made payable. In the event of non-receipt of any cheque for
         interest by the Person to whom it is so sent as aforesaid, the
         Corporation or the Trustee will issue to such Person a replacement
         cheque for a like amount upon being furnished with such evidence of
         non-receipt as it shall reasonably require.

(b)      The Corporation shall (subject to the provisions of Article 8) at all
         times maintain its corporate existence. The Corporation will, and will
         cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, carry on and conduct their
         respective businesses in a proper, efficient and business-like manner
         and in accordance with good business practice, and diligently maintain,
         use and operate its and their respective properties and plants so as to
         preserve and protect the earnings, incomes, rents, issues and profits
         thereof (provided however that the foregoing shall not prevent the
         discontinuance of any business of a Restricted Subsidiary if, at the
         time of such discontinuance, the Corporation shall determine that such
         discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of the business of the
         Corporation and is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
         holders of the Debt Securities), will keep or cause to be kept proper
         books of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         practice, will file with the Trustee copies of all consolidated
         financial statements of the Corporation furnished to its shareholders
         after the date hereof and any reports of the Corporation's Auditors
         thereon and at all reasonable times will furnish or cause to be
         furnished to the Trustee or its agents or attorneys such information
         relating to its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary
         as the Trustee may reasonably require.

(c)      The Corporation shall from time to time pay or cause to be paid all
         taxes, rates, levies, assessments, ordinary or extraordinary,
         government fees or dues lawfully levied, assessed or imposed upon or in
         respect of its property or any part thereof or upon the income and
         profits of the Corporation and of its Restricted Subsidiaries as and
         when the same become due and payable, and it will exhibit or cause to
         be exhibited to the Trustee, when required, the receipts and vouchers
         establishing such payment and will duly observe and conform to all
         applicable requirements of any governmental authority relative to any
         of the property or rights of the Corporation and of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries and all covenants, terms and conditions upon or under
         which any such property or rights are held, except where the failure to
         comply with any of the foregoing requirements would not, individually
         or in the aggregate, be disadvantageous in any material respect to the
         holders of the Debt Securities and further provided that the
         Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have the right

<PAGE>

                                      -33-


         to contest by legal proceedings any taxes, rates, levies, assessments,
         government fees or dues, and upon such contest, may delay or defer
         payment or discharge thereof.

(d)      The Corporation shall and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to
         have in full force and effect such policies of insurance in such
         amounts issued by insurers of recognized standing covering the
         properties and operations of the Corporation and the Restricted
         Subsidiaries as are customarily held by similar corporations engaged in
         the same or similar business in the localities where its properties and
         operations are located, provided however that the Corporation shall be
         entitled to self-insure any portion of its properties or operations if
         in its reasonable opinion it is prudent to do so.

(e)      Except for Permitted Encumbrances, (i) the Corporation shall not
         create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, nor shall it allow or permit
         any Restricted Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist,
         any Security Interest upon or with respect to any of its properties or
         assets or any income or profits therefrom, whether owned on the date of
         this Indenture or hereafter acquired, and (ii) without limitation to
         the provisions of clause (i) of this sentence, the Corporation shall
         not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, nor shall it allow or
         permit any Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, any
         Security Interest upon or with respect to any shares of capital stock,
         Indebtedness or other securities of, or other ownership interests in,
         any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned on the date of this Indenture
         or hereafter acquired, unless, in any case described in (i) or (ii) of
         this sentence, the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary or
         Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall secure or cause to be secured the
         Debt Securities equally and rateably with the Indebtedness secured by
         such Security Interest.

(f)      The Corporation shall observe and perform all of its obligations as
         provided in this Indenture except any such obligations which may have
         been terminated pursuant to Sections 13.1 or 13.2.

(g)      The Corporation shall and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to
         observe and comply, in all material respects, with all applicable laws
         and regulations except where the failure to so comply would not,
         individually or in the aggregate, be disadvantageous in any material
         respect to the holders of the Debt Securities.

(h)      The Corporation shall give notice in writing to the Trustee of the
         occurrence of any Event of Default or any event which would, with
         notification or with the lapse of time or otherwise, constitute an
         Event of Default forthwith upon becoming aware thereof and without
         waiting for the Trustee to take any further action, and specifying the
         nature of such default and the steps taken or proposed to be taken to
         remedy the same.

(i)      In addition to its obligations under Section 2.14(j)(iii), the
         Corporation shall, with respect to the Debt Securities of any series,
         maintain in Calgary, Alberta and in each other place, if any, specified
         pursuant to Section 2.2 with respect to the Debt Securities of such
         series, a Paying Agent where Debt Securities of that series may be
         presented or surrendered for payment and a transfer agent where Debt
         Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
         transfer or exchange.

                                      -34-


5.2      NOT TO ACCUMULATE INTEREST

In order to prevent any accumulation after maturity of unpaid coupons or of
unpaid interest or of unpaid Debt Securities, the Corporation covenants with the
Trustee that it will not, directly or indirectly, extend or assent to the
extension of time for payment of any interest on any Debt Security or be a party
to or approve any such arrangement by purchasing or funding any of said coupons
or interest or in any other manner. In case the time for payment of any such
coupons or interest shall be so extended, whether for a definite period or
otherwise, such coupons or interest shall not be entitled, in case of default
hereunder, to the benefit of these presents except subject to the prior payment
in full of the principal of all Debt Securities issued hereunder and then
outstanding and of all matured coupons and interest of such Debt Securities, the
payment of which has not been so extended, and of all other moneys payable
hereunder.

5.3      PERFORMANCE OF COVENANTS BY TRUSTEE

If the Corporation shall fail to perform any of its covenants contained in this
Indenture, the Trustee may notify the Debt Security holders of such failure on
the part of the Corporation or may itself perform any of the said covenants
capable of being performed by it, but shall be under no obligation to do so or
to notify the Debt Security holders. All sums so expended or advanced by the
Trustee shall be repayable as provided in Section 11.7. No such performance,
expenditure or advance by the Trustee shall be deemed to relieve the Corporation
of any default hereunder.


ARTICLE 6. - DEFAULT AND ENFORCEMENT

6.1      EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The events following are hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Events of
Default":

(a)      if the Corporation defaults in payment of the principal of or premium,
         if any, on or any sinking fund payment with respect to, any Debt
         Security when the same becomes due and payable, and if the default in
         payment continues for a period of four days after written notice
         thereof has been provided to the Corporation by the Trustee or any
         holder of outstanding Debt Securities; or

(b)      if the Corporation defaults in payment of any interest on any Debt
         Security or on any sinking fund payment with respect to any Debt
         Security, in each case when the same becomes due and payable, and if
         the default in payment continues for a period of 30 days after written
         notice thereof has been provided to the Corporation by the Trustee or
         any holder of outstanding Debt Securities; or

(c)      if an order or decree shall be made, or if an effective resolution of
         the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be passed,
         for (i) the winding-up or liquidation of the Corporation, except in the
         course of carrying out the provisions of Article 8 or pursuant to a
         transaction in respect of which the conditions of Article 8 are duly
         observed and performed, or (ii) the winding-up or liquidation of any
         Restricted Subsidiary except a voluntary windingup or liquidation of a
         Restricted Subsidiary which is not undertaken in connection with the
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceedings

<PAGE>

                                      -35-


         Restricted Subsidiary, and in the case of any such order or decree (but
         not resolution) described in (i) or (ii) above such order or decree, as
         the case may be, continues in effect unstayed for a period of 60 days
         after the date of entry of such order or decree, except where such
         order or decree, as the case may be, is made by, at the request or with
         the consent of or pursuant to proceedings initiated by the Corporation
         or a Restricted Subsidiary in which case such 60 day period shall not
         apply; or

(d)      if (i) the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary shall make a
         general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or shall commence
         proceedings under any statute or regulation to be adjudicated a
         bankrupt or insolvent or seeking reorganization, proposal, arrangement,
         moratorium, compromise, readjustment of debt, stay of creditor
         proceedings or other relief with respect to its debts or that may
         reasonably have the effect of compromising the rights of creditors
         without such creditors' consent, or (ii) the Corporation or any
         Restricted Subsidiary consents to the institution of bankruptcy,
         insolvency or similar proceedings against it or to the filing of any
         petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition
         or other relief or benefit under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization or other similar law, or (iii) an order or decree shall
         be made adjudicating the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary a
         bankrupt or insolvent or approving as properly filed a petition seeking
         reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other relief or
         benefit under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
         similar law of or in respect of the Corporation or any Restricted
         Subsidiary, or (iv) a custodian or a sequestrator or a receiver and
         manager or any other officer with similar powers shall be appointed in
         respect of the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary or the property
         of the Corporation or of any Restricted Subsidiary or any part thereof
         which is, in the opinion of the Trustee, a substantial part thereof and
         solely in the case of any such order, decree or appointment described
         in (iii) or (iv) above, such order, decree or appointment continues in
         effect unstayed for a period of 60 days, except where such order,
         decree or appointment is made by, at the request or with the consent
         of, or pursuant to proceedings initiated by, the Corporation or a
         Restricted Subsidiary in which case such 60 day period shall not apply;
         or

(e)      if any process of execution is enforced or levied upon any of the
         property of the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary and such
         property has a net book value in excess of the greater of $75,000,000
         and 7.5% of the Equity of the Corporation, or the equivalent thereof in
         any other currency, and such process remains unsatisfied for a period
         of 60 days, as to movable or personal property, or 90 days, as to
         immovable or real property, provided that such process is not in good
         faith disputed by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary, or, if
         so disputed, the Corporation shall not have given evidence satisfactory
         to the Trustee that it has or such Restricted Subsidiary has available
         a sum sufficient to pay in full the amount claimed in the event that it
         shall be held to be a valid claim; or

(f)      if the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary fails to make any payment
         at maturity, including any applicable grace period, in respect of any
         one or more issues of Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in an aggregate
         amount in excess of the greater of $75,000,000 and 7.5% of the Equity
         of the Corporation, or the equivalent thereof in any other currency,
         and such failure shall have continued for a period of 30 days after
         written notice thereof shall have been given to the Corporation by the
         Trustee, or to the Corporation and the Trustee by

<PAGE>

                                      -36-


         the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
         outstanding Debt Securities; or

(g)      if a default or defaults with respect to any one or more issues of
         Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the Corporation or any Restricted
         Subsidiary occur, which default or defaults, as the case may be, result
         in the acceleration of Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the
         Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate amount in
         excess of the greater of $75,000,000 and 7.5% of the Equity of the
         Corporation, or the equivalent thereof in any other currency, without
         such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money having been discharged or such
         acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled for a
         period of 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given to
         the Corporation by the Trustee, or to the Corporation and the Trustee
         by the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
         the outstanding Debt Securities; or

(h)      default by the Corporation in the performance or observance of any
         other covenant or condition contained in this Indenture or any Debt
         Security on its part to be observed and performed and after notice in
         writing has been given to the Corporation by the Trustee, or to the
         Corporation and the Trustee by holders of not less than 25% in
         aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities (or, in
         the case of any covenant or condition included solely for the benefit
         of one or more series of Debt Securities, by the holders of not less
         than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt
         Securities of such series), specifying such default and requiring the
         Corporation to remedy the same and the Corporation shall fail to make
         good such default within a period of 60 days or such shorter period as
         the Trustee determines would at any time, if continued, render any
         material property of the Corporation or any of its Restricted
         Subsidiaries liable to forfeiture, unless the Trustee (having regard to
         the subject matter of the neglect or non-observance) shall have agreed
         to a longer period, and in such event, within the period agreed to by
         the Trustee (provided that the Trustee shall not be entitled to agree
         to any such longer period if notice of default pursuant to this
         subparagraph (h) shall have been given to the Corporation and the
         Trustee by holders of Debt Securities as aforesaid).

In addition to the events hereinabove set forth the Corporation may by indenture
supplemental hereto, executed and delivered pursuant to the provisions of
Article 10, provide for additional Events of Default.

6.2      ACCELERATION ON DEFAULT

Subject to the absolute and unconditional right of each holder of a Debt
Security to receive payment of the principal thereof and interest thereon on or
after the respective due dates therefor as provided in Section 6.12, in case an
Event of Default has occurred, the Trustee may in its discretion and shall upon
the requisition in writing of the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities then outstanding (or, if the Event of
Default has occurred with respect only to one or more series of Debt Securities,
25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such
series), subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, by notice in writing to the
Corporation declare the principal of and interest on all Debt Securities then
outstanding (or the Debt Securities of such series, as the case may be) and
other moneys payable hereunder to be due and payable and the same shall become
immediately due and payable to the Trustee on demand, anything

<PAGE>

                                      -37-


therein or herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Corporation shall on
such demand forthwith pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Debt Security
holders the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on and interest on
amounts in default on such Debt Securities (and, where such a declaration is
based upon a voluntary winding-up or liquidation of the Corporation, the
premium, if any, on the Debt Securities then outstanding which would have been
payable upon the redemption thereof by the Corporation on the date of such
declaration) and all other moneys secured hereby, together with subsequent
interest (to the extent permitted by law) on all such amounts at the rates
specified by the Debt Securities or, in the case of any Debt Securities which do
not specify a rate of interest for amounts in default, at the rate of interest
borne by such Debt Securities or in the case of any Debt Securities which do not
bear interest at an annual rate equivalent to the annual rate of interest
announced from time to time by Citibank N.A. in The City of New York as being
its reference or base rate then in effect for determining interest rates on U.S.
dollar commercial loans, 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 in the moneys mentioned in and according to the tenor of the Debt
Securities and coupons (provided that, if no time for the payment of such
subsequent interest is specified, such subsequent interest shall be payable on
demand). Such payment when made shall be deemed to have been made in discharge
of the Corporation's obligations hereunder and any moneys so received by the
Trustee shall be applied as provided in Section 6.5.

6.3      WAIVER OF DEFAULT

In case an Event of Default has occurred otherwise than by default in payment of
any principal moneys at maturity:

(a)      except with regard to defaults in respect of a covenant or provision
         hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
         holder of each Debt Security affected (in which case only those holders
         whose consent is actually given shall be bound by such consent), the
         holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of
         Debt Securities then outstanding (or, if the default has occurred with
         respect only to one or more series of Debt Securities, 66 2/3% in
         aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such
         series) shall have power (in addition to and subject to the powers
         exercisable by extraordinary resolution as hereinafter provided) by
         requisition in writing to instruct the Trustee to waive the default
         and/or to cancel or annul any declaration made by the Trustee pursuant
         to Section 6.2 and the Trustee shall thereupon waive the default and/or
         cancel or annul such declaration upon such terms and conditions as such
         Debt Security holders shall prescribe; and

(b)      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 therefor, and in such event to cancel or annul any
         such declaration theretofore made by the Trustee in the exercise of its
         discretion, upon such terms and conditions as to the Trustee may seem
         advisable;

provided that no act or omission either of the Trustee or of the Debt Security
holders in the premises shall extend to or be taken in any manner whatsoever to
affect any subsequent default or the rights resulting therefrom.

6.4      RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO ENFORCE PAYMENT

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, in case the Corporation shall fail to
pay to the Trustee, on demand, and when due, the principal of and premium (if
any) and interest on all or any Debt Securities then outstanding (including,
without limitation, amounts due and payable as the result of a declaration
pursuant to Section 6.2), together with any other amounts due hereunder, the
Trustee may in its discretion and shall upon the request in writing of the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities then outstanding (or, if such failure to pay relates to an Event of
Default that has occurred with respect to only one or more series of Debt
Securities, 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities
of such series), and upon being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction
against all costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred, proceed in its name
as Trustee hereunder to obtain or enforce payment of the said principal of and
premium (if any) and interest (without possession of any of the Debt Securities
or coupons or the production thereof at any trial or proceeding) together with
any other amounts due hereunder, by any remedy provided hereunder or by law or
equity. Except in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4
and Section 6.12, no holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any
right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute
any action or proceeding against the Corporation at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for
the appointment of a trustee, receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder. If the
written request and indemnity referred to in this Section 6.4 has been tendered
to the Trustee and the Trustee has failed to act within a reasonable time
thereafter, any Debt Security holder acting on behalf of himself and all other
Debt Security holders shall be entitled to take proceedings in any court of
competent jurisdiction such as the Trustee might have taken under this Section
6.4.

6.5      APPLICATION OF MONEYS BY TRUSTEE

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, any moneys received by the
Trustee from the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing Sections of this Article
6, or as a result of legal or other proceedings or from any trustee in
bankruptcy or liquidator of the Corporation, shall be applied, together with any
other moneys in the hands of the Trustee available for such purposes, as
follows:

         FIRST: to the payment or reimbursement to the Trustee of its
         compensation, costs, charges, expenses, borrowings, advances, or other
         moneys furnished or provided by or at the instance of the Trustee in or
         about the execution of its trust or otherwise in relation to this
         Indenture, with interest thereon as herein provided;

         SECOND: subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 and as hereinafter in
         this Section 6.5 provided, in payment of the principal of and premium
         (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest and interest on amounts in
         default on the Debt Securities and coupons which shall then be
         outstanding rateably, without preference or priority of any kind,
         according to the aggregate amount of principal, premium, if any, and
         interest due and payable unless otherwise directed by extraordinary
         resolution passed as hereinafter provided and in that case in such
         order of priority as between principal, premium and interest as may be
         directed by such resolution; and

         THIRD: the surplus (if any) of such moneys shall be paid to the
         Corporation or its assigns;

<PAGE>

                                      -39-


provided, however, that no payment shall be made in respect of the principal,
premium or interest of any Debt Security or coupon held, directly or indirectly,
by or for the benefit of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (other than any Debt
Security pledged for value and in good faith to a Person other than the
Corporation or any Subsidiary, but only to the extent of such Person's interest
therein) except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal, premium
(if any) and interest of all Debt Securities which are not so held.

6.6      NOTICE OF PAYMENT BY TRUSTEE

Not less than 21 days notice shall be given by the Trustee of any payment to be
made under this Article 6 to the Debt Security holders. Such notice shall state
the time when and place where such payment is to be made and also the liability
under this Indenture upon which it is to be applied. After the day so fixed,
unless payment shall have been duly demanded and have been refused, the Debt
Security holders will be entitled to interest only on the balance (if any) of
the principal moneys, premium (if any) and interest due to them, respectively,
on the Debt Securities, after deduction of the respective amounts payable in
respect thereof on the day so fixed.

6.7      TRUSTEE MAY DEMAND PRODUCTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The Trustee shall have the right to demand production of the Debt Securities
and/or coupons in respect of which any payment of principal, interest or premium
required by this Article 6 is made and may cause to be endorsed on the same a
memorandum of the amount so paid and the date of payment, but the Trustee may,
in its discretion, dispense with such production and endorsement in any special
case, upon such indemnity being given to it and to the Corporation as the
Trustee shall deem sufficient.

6.8      TRUSTEE APPOINTED ATTORNEY

After an Event of Default and until such Event of Default shall have been
rectified, the Trustee shall be the attorney of the Corporation for and in the
name and on behalf of the Corporation to execute any instrument and do any acts
and things which the Corporation ought to sign, execute and do hereunder and
generally to use the name of the Corporation in the exercise of all or any of
the powers hereby conferred on the Trustee, with full powers of substitution and
revocation.

6.9      REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

Each and every remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, or upon
or reserved to the holders of the Debt Securities, shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now existing or
hereafter to exist by law or by statute.

6.10     JUDGMENT AGAINST CORPORATION

The Corporation covenants and agrees with the Trustee that, in case of any
proceedings to obtain judgment for the principal of or interest or premium on
the Debt Securities, judgment may be rendered against it in favour of the Debt
Security holders hereunder, or in favour of the Trustee, as trustee of an
express trust for the Debt Security holders, for any amount which may remain due
in respect of the Debt Securities and premium (if any) and interest thereon.

Indenture and the Trustee hereby waive and release any right, cause of action or
remedy now or hereafter existing in any jurisdiction against any past, present

Corporation, as such, but not against the Corporation or any successor
corporation for the payment of the principal of or premium or interest on any of
the Debt Securities or on any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty by
the Corporation herein or in the Debt Securities contained.

6.12     SUITS BY DEBT SECURITY HOLDERS

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Indenture and any provision of
any Debt Security, each holder of any Debt Security shall have the right, which
is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and
interest on such Debt Security in the amounts, at the rates and on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Debt Security, and to institute suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, which
rights shall not be impaired or affected (whether by modification of this
Indenture or of the rights of holders of Debt Securities pursuant to Article 9
hereof, waiver of an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest
pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof, or otherwise) without the consent of such Debt
Security holder. Without limitation to the foregoing, no modification, amendment
or waiver to this Indenture or the Debt Securities of any series shall, without
the prior consent of the holder of each Debt Security affected, reduce the
principal of or premium, if any, on any Debt Security or the amount payable upon
redemption or repurchase thereof, or reduce the rate of interest on any Debt
Securities, or extend the time for payment (whether at stated maturity, upon
redemption or repurchase, acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security or change the coin or currency
in which any Debt Security is payable or alter the provisions of this sentence.


ARTICLE 7. - SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

         to set aside; or

         applied to the payment or redemption of the Debt Securities, the
         Corporation shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to set aside; or

(c)      if the redemption was pursuant to notice given by the Trustee, the
         Trustee may itself set aside;

the principal moneys and the premium, if any, and/or the interest, as the case
may be, in trust to be paid to the holder of such Debt Security or coupon upon
due presentation or surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture, and from and after such setting aside all such amounts shall be
deemed to have been paid by the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of
this Indenture and such Debt Security or coupon shall be deemed not to be
outstanding hereunder and no further interest shall accrue thereon to the
holder, and the holder of such Debt Security or coupon shall, subject to Section
7.3, have no rights in respect thereof except that of receiving payment of the
moneys so set aside, without interest, upon due presentation and surrender

any applicable laws and regulations, become the property of the Corporation free
of any beneficial claim by the holders of the Debt Securities or coupons, and
shall be repaid to the Corporation by the Trustee together with any interest
accrued thereon and thereupon the Trustee shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such moneys.

7.4      SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

This Indenture shall upon Written Order of the Corporation be discharged and
cease to be of further effect with respect to the outstanding Debt Securities
(except as hereinafter provided in this Section 7.4), and the Trustee, upon

                  irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the

income taxation to the effect that (i) the holders of the Debt Securities will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes as a
result of such merger, amalgamation, consolidation, sale, assignment, lease,
conveyance, transfer or Reincorporation, (ii) after such transaction, any
payment or credit by the Corporation or the successor corporation, as
applicable, of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or any
other amount payable under or in respect of, the Debt Securities to any holder
thereof will be exempt from Canadian withholding tax if the holder, for purposes
of the INCOME TAX ACT (Canada) (or any successor law) is or is deemed to be a
non-resident of Canada and deals at arms-length with the Corporation at the time
of such payment or credit, as applicable, and (iii) after such transaction,
holders of the Debt Securities will be subject to Canadian federal income tax on
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such transaction had not occurred; and (e) the Corporation shall
have delivered to the Trustee a Certificate of the Corporation and an opinion of
Counsel each stating that such merger, amalgamation, consolidation, sale,
assignment, lease, conveyance, transfer or Reincorporation and, if a
supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such
supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture and that all conditions
precedent in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied
with; provided that, if the successor corporation is not organized and validly
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or
the District of Columbia or Canada or any province of Canada, such successor
corporation shall expressly agree, in a supplemental indenture executed by such
successor corporation, (i) to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of any
Debt Securities from and against (x) any and all present and future taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, fees, assessments or other governmental charges
(including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto)
(collectively "Taxes") of whatever nature which may be imposed on such holder or
required to be withheld or deducted from any payment to such holder as a
consequence of such merger, amalgamation, consolidation, sale, assignment,
lease, conveyance, transfer or Reincorporation and (y) any and all costs and
expenses arising out of or relating to such merger, amalgamation, consolidation,
sale, assignment, lease, conveyance, transfer or Reincorporation, and (ii) that
the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, and any and all other
amounts payable under or in respect of, the Debt Securities will be paid without
withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes of
whatever nature imposed, levied, withheld, assessed or collected by or on behalf
of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which such successor corporation is
organized, is resident or is deemed for tax purposes to be resident (each such
jurisdiction being hereinafter called an "Applicable Jurisdiction") or any
political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any Applicable Jurisdiction
unless such Taxes are required by any Applicable Jurisdiction or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein to be withheld or deducted,
in which case such successor corporation will pay such additional amounts
("Additional Amounts") as may be necessary in order that the net amount paid to
each holder of any Debt Securities, after such deduction or withholding, will
not be less than the amount which such holder would have received in accordance
with the terms of the Debt Securities and this Indenture if no such deduction or
withholding had been required. Whenever there is mentioned herein or in any Debt
Securities, in any context, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any,
or interest on, or in respect of, any Debt Security, such mention shall be
deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent
that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in
respect thereof pursuant to this Indenture, and express mention of the payment
of Additional Amounts in any instance shall not be construed as excluding
Additional Amounts in those instances where such express mention is not made.

8.2      VESTING OF POWERS IN SUCCESSOR

In the event of any merger of the Corporation into, consolidation or
amalgamation of the Corporation with, or sale, assignment, lease, conveyance or
other transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets to,
another Person, the successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted
for and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation under the Debt
Securities and this Indenture as if it had been named as the Corporation herein
and therein, and the predecessor corporation, except in the case of a
consolidation, an amalgamation or a lease, shall be released from any further
obligation under the Debt Securities and this Indenture and holders of Debt
Securities will thereafter be required to look solely to such successor
corporation for the payment of all amounts which may become due and payable
under the Debt Securities and this Indenture.

8.3      ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

(a)      The Corporation covenants and agrees that, if the Corporation becomes
         obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Debt Securities
         of any series, the Corporation will (i) at least 10 days prior to each
         date on which any payment under or with respect to the Debt Securities
         of such series is due and payable, deliver to the Trustee a Certificate
         of the Corporation specifying the amount required to be withheld or
         deducted in respect of the relevant Taxes, specifying the amount of
         Additional Amounts that will be so payable, and setting forth such
         other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such
         Additional Amounts to the holders of the Debt Securities of such series
         on the relevant payment date; (ii) pay such Taxes on or prior to the
         date for payment thereof; and (iii) within 15 days after paying the
         amount referred to in clause (ii) of this sentence, deliver to the
         Trustee evidence of such payment and remittance thereof to the relevant
         Applicable Jurisdiction or political subdivision or taxing authority
         thereof or therein. The Corporation also covenants and agrees to

         Global Debt Securities, each beneficial owner of any interest therein
         (by mail sent to its registered address or, in the case of any such
         beneficial owner, to the address provided by such beneficial owner to
         the Trustee or the Corporation for such purpose) a receipt for any
         Taxes deducted within 30 days after the date the same are due pursuant
         to applicable law or regulation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if no such
         time is prescribed by applicable law or regulation, the Corporation has
         agreed to furnish such information as soon as practicable but in any
         event prior to the last day of February in the calendar year subsequent
         to the calendar year of payment.

(b)      The Corporation covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and each
         Paying Agent for, and to hold each of them harmless from and against,
         any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense incurred without
         negligence or willful misconduct on such Person's part and arising out
         of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in
         reliance on any Certificate of the Corporation furnished pursuant to
         the foregoing paragraph Section 8.3(a) or the failure of the Trustee or
         any Paying Agent for any reason (other than its own negligence or
         willful misconduct) to receive on a timely basis such Certificate of
         the Corporation or any information or documentation requested by it or
         otherwise required by applicable law or regulation to be obtained,
         furnished or filed in respect of any Taxes.

         the payment of the Debt Securities, the resignation or removal of the
         Trustee or any Paying Agent and the defeasance, covenant defeasance,

writing made by the Corporation or by the holders of at least ten percent of the

the Debt Security holders. In the event of the Trustee failing within 30 days
after such a requisition is made and indemnity given as aforesaid to give notice
convening a meeting, the Corporation or such Debt Security holders, as the case
may be, may convene such meeting. Every such meeting shall be held in the City
of Calgary or at such other place as may be approved or determined by the
Trustee. The record date for determining the holders of Debt Securities entitled
to attend and vote at a meeting of the Debt Security holders shall be the close
of business on that day which is 20 days prior to the scheduled date of such
meeting and if that day is not a business day, the close of business on the
latest business day preceding such day.

9.2      NOTICE

At least 30 days notice of any meeting shall be given to the Debt Security
holders in the manner provided in Section 3.12 and a copy thereof shall be sent

Corporation unless the meeting has been called by it. Such notice shall state
the time when and the place where the meeting is to be held and shall state
briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat and it shall
not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to
be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article.

within half-an-hour from the time fixed for holding any meeting, the meeting, if
summoned by or on the requisition of Debt Security holders, shall be dissolved,
but in any other case the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next

to the next following business day thereafter) at the same time and place.
Subject to the provisions of Section 9.11, at the adjourned meeting the Debt
Security holders present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum and may
transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened
notwithstanding that they may not represent 25% in principal amount of the

prescribe.

9.6      POLL

On every resolution (including, without limitation, every extraordinary
resolution) and on any other question submitted to a meeting a poll shall be
taken in such manner as the chairman shall direct and the result of the poll
shall be and be deemed to be the decision of the meeting. Questions other than
extraordinary resolutions and except as otherwise provided in this Indenture or
with respect to the Debt Securities of any series pursuant to Section 2.2 shall
be decided by the votes of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Debt Securities voted on the poll.

9.7      VOTING

On a poll each Debt Security holder present in person or represented by a proxy
duly appointed by instrument in writing shall be entitled to one vote in respect

Debt Securities of which he shall then be holder. A proxy need not be a Debt
Security holder. In the case of joint registered holders of a Debt Security, any
one of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence
of the other Persons, but in case more than one of them be present in person or
by proxy, they shall vote together in respect of the Debt Securities of which
they are joint registered holders.

(a)      for the issue of voting certificates:

         (i)      by any bank, trust company or other depositary approved by the
                  Trustee certifying that specified unregistered Debt Securities
                  have been deposited with it by a named holder and will remain
                  on deposit until after the meeting and any adjournment
                  thereof; and

         (ii)     by any bank, trust company, insurance company, governmental
                  department or agency approved by the Trustee certifying that
                  it is the holder of specified unregistered Debt Securities and
                  will continue to hold the same until after the meeting and any
                  adjournment thereof;

         which voting certificates shall entitle the holders named therein to be
         present and vote at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof or
         to appoint a proxy or proxies to represent them and vote for them at
         any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof, in the same manner and
         with the same effect as though the holders so named in such voting
         certificates were the actual bearers of the Debt Securities specified
         therein;

(b)      for the deposit of voting certificates and/or instruments appointing
         proxies at such place as the Trustee, the Corporation or the Debt

         same is to be held and for the voting of proxies so deposited as though
         the instruments themselves were produced at the meeting.

Any regulations so made shall be binding and effective and the votes given in
accordance therewith shall be valid and shall be counted. Save as such
regulations may provide, the only Persons who shall be recognized at any meeting
as the holders of any Debt Securities, or as entitled to vote or be present at
the meeting in respect thereof, shall be Persons who produce unregistered Debt
Securities at the meeting and the registered Debt Security holders and Persons
whom registered Debt Security holders have by instrument in writing duly
appointed as their proxies.

9.9      CORPORATION AND TRUSTEE MAY BE REPRESENTED

The Corporation and the Trustee, by their respective officers, employees and
directors, and the legal advisers of the Corporation and the Trustee may attend

combination of the powers in this Indenture stated to be exercisable by the Debt

succeeding meeting of the Debt Security holders, shall be prima facie evidence
of the matters therein stated and, until the contrary is proved, every such
meeting, in respect of the proceedings of which minutes shall have been made,

thereat or proceedings had, to have been duly passed and had.

9.14     INSTRUMENTS IN WRITING

Subject to Section 9.16, all actions which may be taken and all powers that may

such execution or in any other manner which the Trustee may consider adequate.

<PAGE>

                                      -52-

9.16     SERIAL MEETINGS

(a)      If any business to be transacted at a meeting of Debt Security holders,
         or any action to be taken or power to be exercised by instrument in
         writing under Section 9.14, especially affects the rights of the
         holders of Debt Securities of one or more series in a manner or to an
         extent substantially differing from that in which it affects the rights
         of the holders of Debt Securities of any other series (as to which an
         opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee shall be binding on all
         Debt Security holders, the Trustee and the Corporation for the purposes
         hereof), then:

         (i)      reference to such fact, indicating each series so especially
                  affected, shall be made in the notice of such meeting and the
                  meeting shall be and is herein called a "serial meeting";

         (ii)     the holders of Debt Securities of a series so especially
                  affected shall not be bound by any action taken at a serial
                  meeting unless in addition to compliance with the other
                  provisions of this Article:

                  (A)      there are present in person or by proxy at the said
                           meeting holders of at least 25% (or, for the purpose
                           of passing any extraordinary resolution, a majority)
                           in principal amount of the outstanding Debt
                           Securities of such series, subject to the provisions
                           of this Article as to adjourned meetings;

                  (B)      the resolution is passed by the favourable votes of
                           the holders of at least a majority (or, in the case
                           of an extraordinary resolution, not less than 66
                           2/3%) of the principal amount of Debt Securities of
                           such series voted on the resolution; and

         (iii)    the holders of Debt Securities of a series so especially
                  affected shall not be bound by any action taken or power
                  exercised by instrument in writing under Section 9.14

<PAGE>

                                      -53-


                  unless such instrument is signed in one or more counterparts
                  by the holders of 66 2/3% of the principal amount of
                  outstanding Debt Securities of such series.

(b)      If in the opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee any business to
         be transacted at any meeting or any action to be taken or power to be
         exercised by instrument in writing under Section 9.14 does not
         adversely affect the rights of the holders of Debt Securities of one or
         more particular series, the provisions of this Article 9 shall apply as
         if the Debt Securities of such series were not outstanding and no
         notice of any such meeting need be given to the holders of the Debt
         Security of such series.

9.17     COVENANTS APPLICABLE TO A PARTICULAR SERIES OF DEBT SECURITIES

Notwithstanding anything herein contained, if any business to be transacted at
any meeting or any action to be taken or power to be exercised by any instrument
in writing under Section 9.14 relates only to the waiver, amendment, alteration,
modification or cancellation of a covenant or provision hereof which by its
terms is applicable and has effect only so long as one or more particular series
of Debt Securities remains outstanding or the benefit of which is restricted to
any one or more particular series of Debt Securities, the provisions of this
Article 9 shall be read and construed and shall apply as if the Debt Securities
of such one or more particular series of Debt Securities were the only Debt
Securities outstanding hereunder. A proposal:

(a)      to extend the maturity or maturities of Debt Securities of any series
         or any date on which any principal thereof, or premium, if any, or
         interest thereon is payable, or change the coin or currency in which
         any of the foregoing is payable, or reduce the principal amount thereof
         or the amount of any premium thereon or the rate of interest thereon,

(b)      to modify or terminate any covenant or agreement which by its terms is
         effective only so long as Debt Securities or a particular series are
         outstanding or the benefit of which is restricted to a particular
         series of Debt Securities, or

(c)      to reduce with respect to holders of Debt Securities of any series any
         percentage required for a quorum stated in Sections 9.5, 9.6, 9.11,
         9.14 or 9.16,

shall be applicable to the Debt Securities of that series and shall be deemed to
especially affect the rights of the holders of Debt Securities of such series in
a manner substantially differing from that in which it affects the rights of
holders of Debt Securities of any other series or maturity whether or not a
similar extension, reduction, modification or termination is proposed with
respect to Debt Securities of any or all other series or maturities.

ARTICLE 10. - SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

10.1     PROVISIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES

in accordance with or pursuant to a Certificate or Written Order of the
Corporation) and the Trustee may, subject to the provisions of these presents,
and they shall,

         Debt Securities or any series thereof or to facilitate their sale on
         any stock exchange provided that such provisions are not, in the
         opinion of the Trustee, prejudicial to the interest of the Debt
         Security holders;

         registration and transfer of Debt Securities including provision for
         the issue of Debt Securities of different denominations, the exchange

         modification in the form of the Debt Securities and coupons which does

         Trustee, is not prejudicial to the interest of the Debt Security
         holders;

(g)      adding limitations or restrictions, thereafter to be observed, upon the
         amount, dates of maturity, issue or the purposes of the issue of Debt

(h)      adding to the covenants of the Corporation herein contained for the
         protection of the holders of the Debt Securities and/or providing for
         Events of Default in addition to those herein specified;

(i)      making such amendments, deletions or alterations to Sections 11.10 to
         11.16, inclusive, without the consent of the Debt Security holders, as

         Trustee to give effect to any applicable legislation or regulation;

<PAGE>

                                      -55-

         applicable and has effect only so long as any one or more particular
         series of Debt Securities remains outstanding or restricting the

         opinion that the interest of holders of Debt Securities outstanding on
         the date of the supplemental indenture for any such purpose shall not
         be prejudiced thereby, and provided, further, that no supplemental
         indenture pursuant to this subparagraph (j) shall deprive any then
         outstanding Debt Security of the benefit of any covenant or other
         provision to which it is entitled;

(k)      for any other purpose not inconsistent with the terms hereof, including
         the correction or rectification of any errors, ambiguities, defective
         provisions or omissions in this Indenture, provided that such
         corrections or rectifications shall in the opinion of the Trustee not
         prejudice the rights of the Trustee or of the Debt Security holders
         hereunder pursuant to Section 6.12 or otherwise; and

(l)      for the purpose of adding any Debt Securities Guarantee which may be
         authorized from time to time pursuant to Section 2.2 and to add such

         Securities Guarantee, be required pursuant to such Section 2.2 or in
         the opinion of the Trustee be appropriate in relation thereto.

ARTICLE 11. - CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

11.1     CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO TRUSTEE'S OBLIGATIONS TO ACT HEREUNDER

(a)      The Trustee shall not be bound to give any notice or do or take any
         act, action or proceeding by virtue of the powers conferred on it
         hereby unless and until it shall have been required so to do under the
         terms hereof, nor shall the Trustee be required to take notice of any
         default hereunder, other than in payment of any moneys required by any
         provision hereof to be paid to it, unless and until notified in writing
         of such default, which notice shall distinctly specify the default
         desired to be brought to the attention of the Trustee and in the
         absence of any such notice the Trustee may for all purposes of this
         Indenture conclusively assume that the Corporation is not in default
         hereunder and that no default has been made with respect to the payment
         of principal, premium, if any, interest or sinking fund on the Debt
         Securities or in the observance or performance of any of the covenants,
         agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such notice or
         requisition shall in no way limit any discretion herein given to the
         Trustee to determine whether or not the Trustee shall take action with
         respect to any default or take action without any such notice or
         requisition.

(b)      The obligation of the Trustee to commence or continue any act, action
         or proceeding for the purpose of enforcing any rights of the Trustee or
         the Debt Security holders hereunder shall be conditional upon the Debt
         Security holders furnishing, when required by notice in writing by the
         Trustee, sufficient funds to commence or continue such act, action or
         proceeding and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to
         protect and hold harmless the Trustee against the costs, charges and
         expenses and liabilities to be incurred thereby and any loss and damage
         it may suffer by reason thereof.

<PAGE>

                                      -56-


(c)      None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
         Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial
         liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of
         any of its rights or powers unless indemnified as aforesaid.

(d)      The Trustee may, before commencing or at any time during the
         continuance of any such act, action or proceeding require the Debt
         Security holders at whose instance it is acting to deposit with the
         Trustee the Debt Securities held by them, for which Debt Securities the
         Trustee shall issue receipts.

11.2     EVIDENCE

The Trustee may accept a Certificate of the Corporation as conclusive evidence
of any action taken, decision made, opinion held, resolution passed or by-law
enacted by the Corporation or the directors or shareholders thereof and of the
truth of any statement of fact made therein relating to the Corporation, but the
Trustee may in its discretion require further evidence or information before
acting or relying on any such Certificate.

The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, letter, telegram, cablegram or other paper or document believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by or on behalf of the
proper party or parties.

11.3     EXPERTS AND ADVISERS

(a)      The Trustee may employ or retain such counsel, accountants, engineers,
         appraisers or other experts or advisers as it may reasonably require
         for the purpose of discharging its duties hereunder, may pay their fees
         and expenses and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
         misconduct on the part of any of them.

(b)      The Trustee may act and shall be protected in acting in good faith on
         the opinion or advice of or information obtained from any counsel,
         accountant, engineer, appraiser or other expert or adviser, whether
         retained or employed by the Corporation or by the Trustee, in relation
         to any matter arising in the administration of the trusts hereof.

11.4     DOCUMENTS, MONEYS, ETC. HELD BY TRUSTEE

Any securities, documents of title or other instruments that may at any time be
held by the Trustee subject to the trusts hereof may be placed in the deposit
vaults of the Trustee or of any chartered bank of Canada or deposited for
safekeeping with any such bank, and any moneys so held, pending the application,
investment or withdrawal thereof under any provisions of this Indenture may be
deposited in the name of the Trustee in any chartered bank of Canada or, with
the consent of the Corporation, may be deposited in the deposit department of
the Trustee or any other loan or trust company authorized to accept deposits
under the laws of Canada or any province thereof, at the rate of interest, if

11.5     TRUSTEE NOT REQUIRED TO GIVE SECURITY

The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or security in respect of the
execution of the trusts and powers of this Indenture or otherwise in respect of
the premises.

11.6     PROTECTION OF TRUSTEE

By way of supplement to the provisions of any law for the time being relating to
trustees, it is expressly declared and agreed as follows:

(a)      The Trustee shall not be liable for or by reason of any statements of
         fact or recitals in this Indenture or in the Debt Securities (except in
         the certificate of the Trustee thereon) or required to verify the same,
         but all such statements or recitals are and shall be deemed to be made
         by the Corporation.

(b)      The Trustee shall not be bound to give notice to any Person or Persons
         of the execution hereof.

(c)      The Trustee, in its personal or any other capacity, may buy, lend upon
         and deal in shares in the capital stock of the Corporation and in the
         Debt Securities and generally may contract and enter into financial
         transactions with the Corporation or any Subsidiary without being
         liable to account for any profit made thereby.

11.7     COMPENSATION AND INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE

The Corporation covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust) and the Corporation covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse
the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other Persons
not regularly in its employ) and as set out in certain letter agreements made
from time to time between the Corporation and Trustee, as the same may be
amended from time to time, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may arise from its gross negligence or bad faith. The Corporation also covenants
to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including liability
which the Trustee may incur as a result of failure to withhold, pay or report
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge, and the costs and expenses of
defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in the
premises. The obligations of the Corporation under this Section 11.7 to
compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness
hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

                                      -58-


11.8     REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE

The Trustee may resign its trust and be discharged from all further duties and
liabilities hereunder by giving to the Corporation three months notice in
writing or such shorter notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient. The
Debt Security holders by extraordinary resolution shall have power at any time
to remove the Trustee and to appoint a new Trustee. In the event of the Trustee
resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt,
going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the
Corporation shall forthwith appoint a new Trustee unless a new Trustee has
already been appointed by the Debt Security holders, and failing such
appointment by the Corporation the retiring Trustee or any Debt Security holder
may apply to a Judge of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, on such notice as
such Judge may direct, for the appointment of a new Trustee, but any new Trustee
so appointed by the Corporation or by the Court shall be subject to removal as
aforesaid by the Debt Security holders. The Trustee and any new Trustee
appointed under any provision of this Section 11.8 shall be a corporation
authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in Alberta and shall meet
the requirements of sections 310(a)(2) of the TIA (assuming, however, that the
combined capital and surplus required by such section is Cdn. $10,000,000) and
310(a)(5) of the TIA and rules 4d-9 and 10a-5 under the TIA (or in each case any
successor provisions thereto). If at any time the Trustee or any successor
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 11.8, such Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned immediately without
the necessity of notice, with effect as heretofore provided in this Section
11.8. On any new appointment the new Trustee shall be vested with the same
powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named
herein as Trustee, without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed, but
there shall be immediately executed, at the expense of the Corporation, all such
conveyances or other instruments as may, in the opinion of Counsel, be necessary
or advisable for the purpose of assuring the same to the new Trustee. Any
company into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated or amalgamated, or any company resulting from any merger,
consolidation or amalgamation to which the Trustee shall be a party, shall be
the successor Trustee under this Indenture without the execution of any
instrument or further act.

11.9     POWER OF TRUSTEE TO PROTECT INTEREST

The Trustee shall have power to institute and to maintain such actions and
proceedings as it may consider necessary or expedient to preserve, protect or
enforce its interest and the interest of the Debt Security holders.

11.10    ACCEPTANCE OF TRUST

The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture declared and provided
for and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions hereinbefore
set forth in trust for the various Persons who shall from time to time be Debt
Security holders or holders of coupons subject to all the terms and conditions
herein set forth.

<PAGE>

                                      -59-


11.11    DUTY OF TRUSTEE

In the exercise of the rights and duties prescribed or conferred by the terms of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to
the best interests of the Debt Security holders and shall exercise that degree
of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would exercise in
comparable circumstances.

11.12    PROVISIONS RELIEVING LIABILITY

The provisions of Section 11.11 shall apply notwithstanding any provision in
this Indenture, including any provision relieving or purporting to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action or failure to act or its own
wilful misconduct.

11.13    MATERIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

If a material conflict of interest in the role of the Trustee as a fiduciary
hereunder exists or shall arise, the Trustee shall within 90 days after
ascertaining that it has such a material conflict of interest either eliminate
such material conflict of interest or resign from office by giving notice in
writing to the Corporation at least 21 days prior to such resignation within
such period of 90 days and a new Trustee shall be appointed in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11.8.

11.14    NOTICE OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The Trustee shall give to the Debt Security holders, within a reasonable time
but not exceeding 30 days after the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence
thereof, notice in the manner provided in Section 3.12 of every Event of Default
arising under this Indenture and continuing at the time such notice is given,
unless the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice
is in the best interest of the Debt Security holders and so advises the
Corporation in writing.

11.15    CERTIFICATE OF NO DEFAULT

The Corporation shall furnish the Trustee annually within 120 days after the end
of its fiscal year, and at any other reasonable time if the Trustee so requires,
a Certificate of the Corporation stating that the Corporation has complied with
all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in this Indenture and
the Debt Securities, the non-compliance with which would, with the giving of
notice or the lapse of time, or both, or otherwise, constitute an Event of
Default hereunder or, if such is not the case, specifying the covenant,
condition or other requirement which has not been complied with and giving
particulars of such non-compliance.

11.16    TRUSTEE MAY RELY ON CERTAIN DOCUMENTS

In the exercise of its rights and duties hereunder, the Trustee may, if it is
acting in good faith, rely, as to the truth of the statements and the accuracy
of the opinions expressed therein, upon statutory declarations, opinions,
reports or certificates furnished to the Trustee under Section 11.17 or pursuant
to any other provision of this Indenture or at the request of the Trustee where,

(a)      in the case of a statutory declaration, opinion, report or certificate
         furnished under Section 11.17, the Trustee examines the same and
         determines that it complies with the applicable requirements, if any,
         of Section 11.17; or

(b)      in the case of a statutory declaration, opinion, report or certificate
         furnished pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture or at the
         request of the Trustee, the Trustee examines the same and determines
         that it complies with the applicable requirements, if any, of this
         Indenture.

11.17    EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE

                  the original issue thereof;

         (ii)     the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture; and

         (iii)    the taking of any other action to be taken by the Trustee at
                  the request of or on the application of the Corporation;

         forthwith if and when such evidence is required to be furnished to the
         Trustee by this Indenture.

(b)      The evidence of compliance required under paragraph (a) of this Section

                  officer of the Corporation stating that such conditions
                  precedent have been complied with in accordance with the terms
                  of this Indenture; and

         (ii)     in the case of conditions precedent compliance with which are,
                  by this Indenture, made subject to review or examination by
                  Counsel, an opinion of Counsel that such conditions precedent
                  have been complied with in accordance with the terms of this
                  Indenture.

(c)      The evidence of compliance required under paragraph (a) of this Section

         applicable to this Indenture.

Securities Guarantee is only for the benefit of one or more series of Debt
Securities, the holders of such series of Debt Securities) and on behalf of the
Trustee and all covenants, representations, warranties, rights, benefits and
protections made or given in favour of the Trustee thereunder shall be for the

12.2     ACCEPTANCE OF TRUST RE DEBT SECURITIES GUARANTEES

The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts declared and provided for in regard to any
Debt Securities Guarantees and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and
conditions in this Indenture and any Debt Securities Guarantee set forth and in
trust for the various Persons who shall from time to time be Debt Securities
holders entitled to the benefit thereof, subject to all the terms and conditions
set forth herein or in any Debt Securities Guarantee. The provisions of Article
11 shall apply, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, in regard to the Debt Securities Guarantees,
the Guarantors thereunder and the Trustee's right and responsibilities in regard
thereto.

12.3     PROCEEDINGS BY THE TRUSTEE

Whenever any demand for payment has been made under a Debt Securities Guarantee,
or if a Guarantor shall fail to pay when due (whether or not any demand for
payment has been made) any amount which is payable under a Debt Securities
Guarantee, but in each case subject to the provisions of Section 6.12 and any
extraordinary resolution:

(a)      the Trustee, in the exercise of its discretion, may proceed to enforce
         the rights thereunder of the Trustee and of the Debt Securities holders
         entitled to the benefit thereof 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 Debt
         Securities holders entitled to the benefit thereof lodged in any
         bankruptcy, winding-up or other judicial proceedings relative to the
         any Guarantor; and

(b)      upon receipt of a request in writing signed by the holders of not less
         than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then
         outstanding (or, if the Debt Securities Guarantee is only for the
         benefit of one or more series of Debt Securities, 25% in aggregate
         principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of such
         series) and upon being indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction
         against all costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred, the Trustee
         shall proceed in its name as Trustee hereunder to obtain or enforce
         payment of the amount due under such Debt Securities Guarantee
         (together with any other amounts due thereunder) and shall exercise or
         take such one or more of the said remedies as the Trustee in such
         requests shall have been directed to take or, if such request contains
         no direction, as the Trustee may deem expedient.

12.4     SUITS BY DEBT SECURITIES HOLDERS

Except in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.12, 12.3 and this 12.4,
no holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or
by availing of any provision of any Debt Securities Guarantee to institute any
action or proceeding against any Guarantor at law or in equity or in bankruptcy
or otherwise upon or under or with respect to such Debt Securities Guarantee or
for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy with respect to such
Debt Securities Guarantee. If the written request and indemnity referred to in
Section 12.3(b) have been tendered to the Trustee and the Trustee has failed to
act within a reasonable time thereafter, any Debt Security holder acting on
behalf of himself and all other Debt Security holders entitled to the benefit of
the relevant Debt Securities Guarantee shall be entitled to take proceedings in
any court of competent jurisdiction such as the Trustee might have taken under
Section 12.3, it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Debt
Securities holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights created under any Debt Securities Guarantee by
his or their action, or to enforce any right thereunder except subject to the
conditions and in the manner herein provided, and that all powers and trusts
under any Debt Securities Guarantee shall be exercised and all proceedings at
law in respect of any Debt Securities Guarantee shall be instituted, had and
maintained by the Trustee, except only as herein provided, and in any event for
the benefit of all Debt Securities holders entitled to the benefit thereof in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

12.5     APPLICATION OF GUARANTEE MONEYS BY TRUSTEE

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, any moneys received by the
Trustee from any Guarantor pursuant to any Debt Securities Guarantee, pursuant
to the foregoing Sections of this Article 12, or as a result of legal or other
proceedings or from any trustee in bankruptcy or liquidator of any Guarantor,
shall be applied, together with any other moneys in the hands of the Trustee
available for such purpose, in the manner provided in Section 6.5 of this
Indenture.

12.6     AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

The Trustee may agree to an amendment to any provision of a Debt Securities
Guarantee only if Debt Securities holders holding in the aggregate more than 50%
in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities entitled to the benefit
of such Debt Securities Guarantee so agree in writing and the Trustee may waive
any provision of a Debt Securities Guarantee only if the Debt Securities holders
holding in the aggregate more than 50% in principal amount of the outstanding
Debt Securities entitled to the benefit of such Debt Securities Guarantee so
agree in writing; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may agree
to any amendment to or may provide any waiver of any provision of a Debt
Securities Guarantee where the Trustee is of the opinion that the amendment or
waiver will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Debt Securities holders
entitled to the benefit of such Debt Securities Guarantee. Any such agreement or
waiver shall be binding on the Trustee and all of the Debt Securities holders
entitled to the benefit of the relevant Debt Securities Guarantee.

ARTICLE 13. - DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

13.1     DEFEASANCE

The Corporation may, at its option and at any time, upon delivery to the Trustee
of a Certified Resolution authorizing such action, terminate the obligations
(subject to the exceptions set forth below) of the Corporation with respect to
all outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and any
Debt Securities Guarantee which may have been given in respect of any series of
outstanding Debt Securities and the Corporation shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to the outstanding Debt Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto, and any such Debt Securities Guarantee
shall terminate, on the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.3 are
satisfied (hereinafter "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means
that the Corporation shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented by all then outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only
for the purposes of the provisions of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1)
through (4) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such
Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar
as such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are concerned and
also means that any such Debt Securities Guarantee which may have been given in
respect of the outstanding Debt Securities shall be terminated (and the Trustee,
at the expense of the Corporation, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of holders of such
outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto to receive,
solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.3 and as more fully set forth
in such Section and Section 13.4, payments in respect of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any,
payable with respect to, such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto when such payments are due, (2) the obligation of the Corporation to pay
Additional Amounts in respect of the Debt Securities pursuant to Section 8.1,
(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder,
and (4) the provisions of Sections 1.5, 1.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.14, 5.1(i), 7.4, 7.5,
8.3 and 11.4 and of this Article 13. Subject to compliance with this Article 13,
the Corporation may exercise its option under this Section 13.1 notwithstanding
the prior exercise of its option under Section 13.2 with respect to such Debt
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

13.2     COVENANT DEFEASANCE

The Corporation may, at its option and at any time, upon delivery to the Trustee
of a Certified Resolution authorizing such action, be released from its
obligations with respect to (and only with respect to) the outstanding Debt
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto under (i) paragraphs (b) (other
than the first sentence thereof), (c), (d), (e) and (g) of Section 5.1, (ii)
under any covenant to provide a Debt Securities Guarantee with respect to the
outstanding Debt Securities, and (iii) to the extent specified pursuant to
Section 2.2, its obligations under any other covenant applicable to the
outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, on and after
the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.3 are satisfied (hereinafter,
"covenant defeasance"), and such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not "outstanding" for the purposes of
any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Debt Securities holders
(and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with paragraphs (b) (other
than the first sentence thereof), (c), (d), (e) and (g) of Section 5.1, or any
such other covenant, but shall continue to be

<PAGE>

                                      -64-


deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. In connection with any
covenant defeasance, the Corporation may at its option, by written notice given
to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the legal opinion
referred to in Section 13.3(e), elect (which election shall be irrevocable) that
any Debt Securities Guarantees which may have been given in respect of the
outstanding Debt Securities will be terminated on the date the obligations set
forth in Section 13.3 are satisfied; if no such notice is given to the Trustee,
such Debt Securities Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect following
such covenant defeasance. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that,
with respect to such outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto, the Corporation may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such paragraphs of
Section 5.1 (other than its obligations under the first sentence of paragraph
(b)) or any such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of
any reference elsewhere herein to any such paragraph or any such other covenant
or by reason of reference in any such paragraph or such other covenant to any
provision herein or any other document, and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 or otherwise, as
the case may be, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Debt Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby and if the
Corporation shall have elected to terminate any Debt Securities Guarantee which
may have been given in respect of the outstanding Debt Securities in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 13.2, such Debt Securities Guarantee shall
terminate.

13.3     CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE

The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 13.1 or Section
13.2 to the outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto:

(a)      The Corporation shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
         deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
         requirements of this Indenture who shall agree to comply with the
         provisions of this Article 13 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust
         for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged
         as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the holders of
         such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, (A) an
         amount in U.S. dollars, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which
         through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect
         thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, no later than one
         day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if
         any) and interest, if any, on such Debt Securities and any coupons
         appertaining thereto, or (C) a combination thereof, in any case, in an
         amount sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such
         principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
         of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
         thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall
         be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and
         discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
         any, on all outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining
         thereto as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance
         with their terms and the terms of this Indenture and (ii) any mandatory
         sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such
         outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the
         day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
         terms of this Indenture and of such Debt and any coupons appertaining
         thereto.

<PAGE>

                                      -65-


(b)      Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or
         violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any
         other material agreement or instrument to which the Corporation is a
         party or by which it is bound.

(c)      No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both
         would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 6.1(c)
         or (d) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the day
         which is the later of (A) three months and one day after the date of
         such deposit and (B) 91 days after the date of such deposit (it being
         understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the
         expiration of such period).

(d)      In the case of defeasance under Section 13.1, the Corporation shall
         have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of outside counsel of
         nationally recognized standing in the United States with respect to
         U.S. federal income tax matters stating that subsequent to the date of
         this Indenture, (A) the Corporation has received from, or there has
         been published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B)
         there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,
         in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall
         confirm that, the holders of the outstanding Debt Securities and any
         coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss
         for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and
         will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
         same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
         defeasance had not occurred.

(e)      In the case of covenant defeasance under Section 13.2, the Corporation
         shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of outside counsel of
         nationally recognized standing in the United States with respect to
         U.S. federal income tax matters to the effect that the holders of the
         outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will
         not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes
         as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S.
         federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
         same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had
         not occurred (if Debt Securities Guarantees are terminated in
         connection with such covenant defeasance, such opinion shall expressly
         indicate that such counsel has considered such termination in rendering
         such opinion).

(f)      The Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of
         outside Canadian counsel of recognized standing with respect to
         Canadian federal income tax matters to the effect that (A) the holders
         of the outstanding Debt Securities and coupons will not recognize
         income, gain or loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes as a
         result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance, (B) after such
         defeasance or covenant defeasance, any payment or credit by the
         Corporation of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the
         Debt Securities or coupons to a holder thereof will be exempt from
         Canadian withholding tax if the holder thereof, for the purposes of the
         INCOME TAX ACT (Canada) (or any successor law) is or is deemed to be a
         non-resident of Canada and deals at arms' length with the Corporation
         at the time of such payment or credit, and (C) after such defeasance or
         covenant defeasance, holders of the Debt Securities and coupons will be
         subject to Canadian federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
         manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
         defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred.

<PAGE>

                                      -66-


(g)      The Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee a Certificate of
         the Corporation stating that the deposit with the Trustee was not made
         by the Corporation with the intent of preferring the holders of the
         Debt Securities or coupons over the other creditors of the Corporation
         or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding
         creditors of the Corporation or otherwise;

(h)      The Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee a Certificate of
         the Corporation and an opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
         conditions precedent to the defeasance under Section 13.1 or the
         covenant defeasance under Section 13.2 (as the case may be) have been
         complied with and an opinion of U.S. Counsel to the effect that either
         (A) as a result of a deposit pursuant to clause (1) above and the
         related exercise of the Corporation's rights under Section 13.1 or 13.2
         (as the case may be), registration is not required under the United
         States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Corporation,
         with respect to the trust funds representing such deposit or by the
         trustee for such trust funds or (B) all necessary registrations under
         said Act have been effected.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.3, such defeasance or
covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or
substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the
Corporation in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.2.

Any deposits with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) referred to in
paragraph (1) above shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee.

13.4     DEPOSITED MONEY AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST;
         OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 2.2)
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 13.4, the "Trustee") pursuant
to Section 13.3 in respect of the outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Debt Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (other than the Corporation) as the Trustee may
determine, to the holders of such Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and
premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Corporation shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or U.S. Government
Obligations or other property deposited pursuant to Section 13.3 or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee
or other charge which by law is for the account of the holders of such
outstanding Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

<PAGE>

                                      -67-


Anything in this Article 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to Section
11.7, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Corporation from time to time upon
Written Order of the Corporation any money or U.S. Government Obligations (or
other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section
13.3 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be
deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in
accordance with this Article 13.

13.5     REINSTATEMENT

If the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee appointed pursuant to Section 13.4)
or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S. Government Obligations
(or other property or any proceeds therefrom) deposited pursuant to Sections
13.3 or 13.4 in accordance with this Indenture or the Debt Securities by reason
of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Corporation's obligations under this Indenture and the
Debt Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Sections 13.3 or 13.4
until such time as the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or any Paying Agent
is permitted to apply such money in accordance with this Indenture and the Debt
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto; provided, however, that if the
Corporation makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
any Debt Security and any coupons appertaining thereto following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the
rights of the holders of such Debt Securities to receive such payment from the
cash and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.
