The provisions of Article 3 of the Master Indenture shall apply to the issuance and administration of such Global Series 09-1 Senior Bond.  The Series 09-1 Senior Bonds are Obligation Bonds and Senior Bonds of the Issuer and are unsecured.


If certified Series 09-1 Senior Bonds are to be registered in the name of a person other than the Depository, or its nominee, in exchange for the Global Series 09-1 Senior Bond in accordance with the terms of the Master Indenture, the Issuer shall supply the Trustee with a sufficient number of certificates substantially in the form determined by the Issuer which shall contain the appropriate conditions of such. Series 09-1 Senior Bonds as described herein, with the signatures of two Authorized Officers printed, engraved, lithographed or otherwise mechanically reproduced thereon, to facilitate all subsequent exchanges, transfers and replacement of Series 09-1 Senior Bonds.

2.3    Issue of Series 09-1 Senior Bonds


Series 09-1 Senior Bonds, or a Global Series 09-1 Senior Bond representing one or more Series 09-1 Senior Bonds, up to the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 shall forthwith be duly executed by the Issuer in accordance with the Master Indenture and this Series 09-1Supplemental Indenture and delivered to the Trustee, and shall thereupon be certified by or on behalf of the Trustee and delivered to or to the order of the Issuer upon the written direction of the Issuer, without the Trustee receiving any consideration therefor, but only upon receipt by the Trustee of such written certification along with delivery of the documents referred to in the Master Indenture.


2.4    Redemption of Series 09-1 Senior Bonds


The Series 09-1 Senior Bonds will be redeemable, at the Issuer's option, in whole or in part at any time prior to maturity, and from time to time, on not more than sixty (60) and not less than thirty (30) days' notice prior to the date fixed for redemption specified in such notice ("Redemption Date") to the holders of the Series 09-1 Senior Bonds to be redeemed (or to the Depository in the case of Series 09-1 Senior Bonds represented by a Global Series 09-1 Senior Bond), at the higher of the Canada Yield Price and the principal amount of the Series 09-1 Senior Bonds to be redeemed, together, in either case, with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Rate, such amount being the "Redemption Price" thereof.


2.5    Place of Redemption


The place where the Series 09-1 Senior Bonds to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price shall be at the principal office of the Trustee in Toronto, Ontario.

The electronic transfer of funds or effecting payment by such other means, such as delivery of such cheque (in which case payment is to be made in a manner whereby the holder receives credit or such payment on the Redemption Date), satisfies and discharges the liability for the Redemption Price for those Series 09-1 Senior Bonds represented by the Global Series 09-1 Senior Bond to the extent of the sum represented thereby unless, in the case of payment by cheque, the same is not paid on presentation.
