Offer”).

of an acquisition.

who are nominees of CMI shall abstain from voting in respect of any decision relating to the acquisition of an Acquired MediaWorks Competing Business, including, for greater certainty, the financing of the acquisition. No CanWest Company shall take

approvals. The CanWest Company will not provide representations and warranties as to the business and operations of the Acquired MediaWorks Competing Business, but will use all commercially reasonable efforts to assign the representations and
warranties of which it is the beneficiary to the Limited Partnership and, to the extent possible, will hold in trust and pass through any such benefits if not assignable; and 

  

	5.	If the Limited Partnership does not advise the CanWest Company within such thirty (30) Business Day period that it wishes to accept the CanWest Offer, then the CanWest Offer

	 	(i)	retain, own and operate the Acquired MediaWorks Competing Business; or

third party sale shall be not less favourable in the aggregate to the CanWest Company than the CanWest Offer.

Complaint, the Applicant shall deliver to the Respondent making a Counter-Complaint and the Arbitrator an Answer to such Counter-Complaint setting forth,
with particularity, its position on the Counter-Complaint and the allegations of fact supporting the Counter-Complaint. If the Applicant fails to deliver an Answer to the Counter-Complaint within such 20-day period, the Applicant will be deemed,
subject to subsection (f) to have admitted the allegations of fact alleged in the Counter-Complaint, and have accepted the Respondent’s entitlement to the relief and remedy set out in the Counter-Complaint. Within 10 days after the
delivery of an Answer to the Counter-Complaint, the Respondent may deliver to the Applicant and the Arbitrator a Reply to such Answer setting forth, with particularity, its response to such Answer. Any Dispute submitted to arbitration in accordance
with this subsection 3(e) shall be governed by, and dealt with as if it were the subject of a Complaint, that shall be determined by the same Arbitrator as part of the same arbitration proceeding as the Complaint. 

  

	 	(f)	The time limits set for the delivery of the documents referred to in subsections 3(a) to (e) inclusive may be extended by agreement of the Parties to the Agreement or by the
Arbitrator for such period, on such terms, and for such reasons as the Arbitrator in his or her discretion may determine upon application made to the Arbitrator in writing by either the Applicant or the Respondent on Notice to the other, with such
application being made either before the expiry of the applicable time limit or within 2 days thereafter, and the Arbitrator may relieve the applying Party of the consequences of its failure to comply with the applicable time limit, provided,
however, that the other Party shall be given an opportunity to make submissions on the application. 

  

	 	(g)	Within 20 days following the completion of the steps set out in subsections 3(a) to (e) of this Schedule, a Party may, upon Notice to the other Party and to the Arbitrator,
request the Arbitrator to give directions and make any order which is, in the discretion of the Arbitrator, reasonable regarding any procedural matters which properly should be resolved before the arbitration proceeds further, including: the
amendment of any Claim, Counter-Complaint, Answer or Reply; the provision of particulars; the production of documents and the need for examinations for discoveries in connection with the arbitration, either by way of oral examination or written
interrogatories and a determination as to the manner in which evidence shall be presented to the Arbitrator (by way of agreed statement of facts, affidavit evidence and transcripts of cross-examinations on such affidavit evidence or viva voce, or
some combination thereof). In making any order or giving any direction in respect of any procedural matter, the Arbitrator may impose such terms as are reasonable in order to ensure the completion of the arbitration in a timely manner. The notice
requesting any direction or order pursuant to this subsection shall state the direction or order sought and set out the reasons for seeking such direction or order. Nothing in this subsection shall be taken to limit the jurisdiction of the
Arbitrator to deal with procedural matters in accordance with the Arbitration Act. 

  

	 	(h)	 In the case where no Party has requested directions in accordance with paragraph 3(g), the Arbitrator shall give directions regarding the further procedural steps
in 

  

 - 3 - 

	 	 
the arbitration, including any production of documents, any examinations for discovery, and the nature of any hearing (“Hearing”). In making any
order or giving any direction in respect of any procedural matter the Arbitrator may impose such terms as are reasonable in order to ensure the completion of the arbitration in a timely manner. The Parties shall have an opportunity to make oral
submissions to the Arbitrator in respect of such procedural steps. 

  

	 	(i)	Unless the time for making an award is extended by agreement of the Parties or by court order, the Arbitrator shall be requested to make an award as soon as possible and within 60
days after completion of any Hearing or other final procedural step in which evidence or argument are provided to the Arbitrator or as soon thereafter as is practicable. The award shall be in writing and shall state the reasons on which it is based.
Executed copies of all awards shall be delivered by the Arbitrator to each Party as soon as is reasonably possible. 

  

	4.	Agreement to be Bound - Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 of this Schedule, no individual shall be appointed as Arbitrator unless he or she agrees in writing
to be bound by the provisions of this Schedule, including, without limitation the provisions of Section 11. 

  

	5.	Arbitrator Discretion - Subject to the Arbitration Act, the Agreement and this Schedule, the Arbitrator may conduct the arbitration in such manner as the Arbitrator considers
appropriate. 

  

	6.	Interim Relief - At the request of any Party, the Arbitrator may take such interim measures as the Arbitrator considers necessary in respect of the Dispute, including
measures for the preservation of assets, the conservation of goods or the sale of perishable goods. The Arbitrator may require security for the costs of such measures. 

  

	7.	Remedies - The Arbitrator may make final, interim, interlocutory and partial awards. An award may grant any remedy or relief which the Arbitrator considers just and equitable
and consistent with the intention of the Parties under the Agreement. The Arbitrator shall state in the award whether or not the Arbitrator views the award as final or interim, for purposes of any judicial proceedings in connection with such award.

  

	8.	Appeals - A Party may appeal an award to the court on a question of law or mixed fact and law with leave, which the court shall grant only if it is satisfied that

  

	 	(a)	the importance to the Parties of the matters at stake in the arbitration justifies an appeal; and 

  

	 	(b)	determination of the question of law or mixed fact and law at issue will significantly affect the rights of the Parties. 

  

	9.	 Costs of Arbitration - The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator and costs of the arbitration facilities shall be billed to and paid in equal proportions by
the Parties to the Arbitration periodically as the Arbitration proceeds. The Arbitrator shall have the power to award costs, including the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator and costs of the 

  

 - 4 - 

	 	 
arbitration facilities, in whole or in part where it is fair and reasonable, upon hearing submissions by any Party to the Arbitration requesting same, and
any responding submissions from the other Party to the Arbitration. Unless otherwise specifically ordered by the Arbitrator, any costs awarded shall be on a partial indemnity scale and not on a substantial indemnity scale, as those terms or
equivalent amended terms are used in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. 

  

	10.	Notices - All Notices and all other documents required or permitted by this Schedule to be given by any Party to the arbitration to any other of them shall be given in
accordance with the Notice provisions of the Agreement. All Notices and all other documents required or permitted by this Schedule to be given by any Party to the arbitration to the Arbitrator shall be given in accordance with the Arbitrator’s
instructions.

the Parties and any other Person necessary to the conduct of the Arbitration and except to the extent required by law, the rules of a stock exchange or securities regulatory authority having jurisdiction over a Party or required for any appeal or to
enforce any award or decision made pursuant thereto. 

  

	12.	Experts - The Arbitrator shall not, without the written consent of all the parties to the arbitration, appoint any expert or other consultant or retain any counsel to advise
him or her. 

  

	13.	Place and Language - Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties to the Arbitration, the place of the arbitration shall be Toronto, Ontario and any hearing in the course of the
arbitration shall take place in Toronto, Ontario in the English language. The Arbitrator may hold hearings at a location other than the place of the arbitration if the parties to the arbitration agree.

	B.	CanWest has completed a preliminary reorganization to (a) consolidate its Canadian media operations and supporting assets in the Vendor, a corporation resulting from an
amalgamation on September 1, 2005 and in CanWest MediaWorks Publications Inc. (“CPI”), a corporation resulting from the amalgamation on August 31, 2005 of a number of corporations owning and operating CanWest’s print media
businesses, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor, and (b) settle certain intercompany accounts and repay a portion of the CPI Debt. 

	C.	The Vendor has agreed to sell all of its Canadian print and online media business and certain ancillary and supporting businesses in Canada, including the CPI Shares and CPI Debt,
other than the National Post and certain other excluded assets, to the Purchaser and to sell the CPI Special Voting Shares to the General Partner. 

  

	D.	The Fund intends to complete an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of Fund Units to the public under the Prospectus. 

  

	E.	Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the General Partner, Trust and the Vendor, will enter into an amended and restated agreement of limited partnership in respect of the
Limited Partnership. 

  

	F.	The Fund will apply the proceeds from the Offering to subscribe for Trust Notes and Trust Units (defined below), with 80% of the proceeds being used to acquire Trust Notes and 20%
of the proceeds being used to subscribe for Trust Units. 

  

	G.	Trust, in turn, will apply the subscription proceeds that it receives from the Offering to subscribe for Class A Units. 

  

	H.	The Purchaser, in turn, will use the subscription proceeds that it receives from Trust together with the proceeds from borrowings made by the Purchaser under the New Credit
Facilities to repay the LP Note. 

  

	I.	If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised, the Fund shall subscribe for common shares of General Partner, Trust Units and Trust Notes, Trust shall subscribe for Class A Units

	K.	Immediately following the completion of the Offering, the Fund will, indirectly through Trust, hold 59,125,000 Class A Units (representing approximately 27.7% of total number
of the outstanding LP Units and assuming exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in full) and the Vendor will hold 154,137,703 Class B Units (assuming exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in full), being the balance of the outstanding LP Units.

of law or by its terms, is (i) not assignable, or (ii) not assignable without the approval or consent of the issuer thereof or the other party or parties thereto, without first obtaining such approval or consent (collectively

	 	(b)	elect to have the Vendor retain the Non-Assignable Right and all liabilities arising therefrom or relating thereto.

delayed, waives the condition in Section 9.2 as to any Non-Assignable Right and elects to have the Vendor continue its efforts to obtain any necessary consents or approvals and the Closing occurs, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary,
neither this Agreement nor any assignment document contemplated hereunder shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery of the
applicable Non-Assignable Right and following the Closing, the Vendor shall: 
  

	 	(a)	apply for and use all reasonable efforts to obtain all consents or approvals contemplated by any Contract or any Governmental Authorization, in a form satisfactory to the Purchaser
acting reasonably, provided that the Vendor shall not be required (unless the Purchaser shall have provided sufficient funds or security therefor to the Vendor) to make any payment to any other party in order to obtain such consent or approval other
than payment of any fee contemplated in any Contract and other ordinary course transfer fees and such other parties’ legal fees; 

  

	 	(b)	co-operate with the Purchaser in any reasonable arrangements requested by the Purchaser designed to provide the benefits of such Non-Assignable Right to the Purchaser, including
holding any such Non-Assignable Right in trust for the Purchaser or acting as agent for the Purchaser; 

  

	 	(c)	enforce any rights of the Vendor arising from such Non-Assignable Right against the issuer thereof or the other party or parties thereto if and to the extent requested by the

Right shall be preserved and shall enure to the benefit of the Purchaser; and

 32 

	 	 
and the CPI Debt under this Agreement (other than the Accounts Receivable). It is intended that the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and the CPI
Debt be on a tax-deferred basis to the Vendor for purposes of the Tax Act and applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation (taking into account any deductions, capital losses, non-capital losses or other tax pools, credits, benefits or
attributes available to the Vendor that the Vendor, in its sole discretion, wishes to claim or apply to offset any income or capital gain realized by the Vendor on the transfer of the CPI Debt and the Purchased Assets hereunder); for purposes of

comprised of Class B Units and comprised of consideration other than Class B Units in a manner consistent with this intention;

apply to the obligations of the Vendor in respect of undertakings which arise from the operation of the Purchased Businesses and to which paragraph 12(1)(a) of the Tax Act applies. The Purchaser and the Vendor acknowledge that the Vendor is
transferring assets to the Purchaser which have a value equal to the elected amount as consideration for the assumption by the Purchaser of such obligations of the Vendor. 

  
 The Purchaser and the Vendor shall prepare and file their respective Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the aforesaid elections. If
either of the Vendor or the Purchaser fails to file its Tax Returns in such manner, it shall indemnify and save harmless the other Party in respect of any resulting Taxes, legal and /or accounting expenses paid or incurred by the other Party. If,
after the filing of an election described in Section 10.9(a), the Vendor subsequently determines that an elected amount in such election is greater or less than the elected amount necessary to give effect to the intention described in
Section 10.9(a), the Purchaser shall co-operate with the Vendor in filing a revised election containing such revisions as are determined by the Vendor to be necessary to give effect to the intention described in Section 10.9(a).

  

	10.10 	Income Tax Elections – Vendor and General Partner 

  
 In accordance with the requirements of the Tax Act, the administrative practice and policy of the Canada Revenue Agency and any applicable equivalent or corresponding
provincial or territorial legislative, regulatory and administrative requirements, the General Partner and the Vendor shall make and file, in a timely manner, a joint election(s) to have the provisions of subsection 85(1) of the Tax Act and any
equivalent or corresponding provision under the applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation apply to the purchase and sale of the Special Voting Shares under this 

  

 33 

 
Agreement. It is intended that the purchase and sale of the Special Voting Shares be on a tax-deferred basis to the Vendor for purposes of the Tax Act and
applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation; for purposes of each such election(s), the Parties shall elect transfer prices in respect of the Special Voting Shares as determined by the Vendor in a manner consistent with this intention.

  
 The General Partner and the Vendor shall prepare and file their respective Tax
Returns in a manner consistent with the aforesaid elections. If either of the Vendor or the General Partner fails to file its Tax Returns in such manner, it shall indemnify and save harmless the other Party in respect of any resulting Taxes, legal
and/or accounting expenses paid or incurred by the other Party. 
  

	10.11 	Employees 

  

	 	(a)	The Purchaser shall become the successor employer under the Collective Agreements that cover employees of the Directly-Held Businesses and shall be bound by and comply with the
terms of such Collective Agreements effective from the Closing Date and shall continue, subject to Section 10.11(c), to employ all Transferring Employees on the Closing Date whose terms of employment are covered by the terms of Collective
Agreements. 

  

	 	(b)	The Purchaser shall offer employment, effective from the Closing Date, to all Transferring Employees on the Closing Date whose terms of employment are not covered by the terms of a
Collective Agreement (“Non-Unionized Employees”), on terms and conditions of employment including salary, incentive compensation and benefits which are substantially similar in the aggregate to those currently available to the
Non-Unionized Employees. The Vendor and the Purchaser shall exercise reasonable efforts to persuade the Non-Unionized Employees to accept such offers of employment. 

  

	 	(c)	The Vendor shall be responsible for all amounts owing to the Transferring Employees in respect of all periods prior to the Closing Date. 

  

	 	(d)	In the event any Transferring Employees who do not automatically transfer to the Purchaser as a successor employer by operation of law refuse to transfer to, or accept the offer of
employment from, the Purchaser (the “Non-Transferring Employees”), the Vendor will make reasonable efforts to continue to employ and second to the Purchaser such Transferring Employees. The Purchaser will fully reimburse the Vendor for its
costs associated with seconding the Non- Transferring Employees including for salaries, incentive compensation, benefits and administrative costs. In the event it is impracticable to second the Non-Transferring Employees to the Purchaser and their
employment with the Vendor is terminated as a result, the Vendor shall be solely responsible for any notice, severance or other entitlements the Non-Transferring Employees may have arising out of the termination of their employment with the Vendor.

liabilities in respect of the Transferring Employees under and in relation to the Pension Plans and all related agreements. The Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment and becomes sponsor of, or shall apply to become a participating employer in,
the Pension Plans in respect of the Transferring Employees as of the Closing Date. In furtherance of their obligations under this Section 10.12, the Vendor and the Purchaser shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement in relation to
the Pension Plans (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), substantially in the form of Schedule 10.12 subject to such modifications and amendments as may be necessary or agreed to by the Vendor and the Purchaser.

  

	 	(b)	Where consent to the assignment or the amendment of any funding agreement or any other agreement related to the Pension Plans is required from a Person other than the Vendor or the
Purchaser, the Purchaser shall make best reasonable efforts to obtain such consent. If the Vendor and the Purchaser are unable to obtain consent from such Person after making such best efforts, the Purchaser may enter into such agreements with any
other Person as may be reasonably necessary. 

  

	 	(c)	Effective as of the Closing Date, the Vendor shall amend the Pension Plans where required to give effect to this Section 10.12, and shall, with the cooperation of the
Purchaser, file such amendments with the appropriate Governmental Authority. The Vendor shall use its best efforts to have any third party sponsors of the Pension Plans amend the Participating Pension Plans where necessary to give effect to this
Section 10.12 and file such amendments with the appropriate Governmental Authority. The Party who receives any consent or approval required to be obtained from a Governmental Authority shall immediately notify the other Party when such consent
or approval is received. 

  

	 	(d)	Effective as of the Closing Date, the Vendor shall assign to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to accept such assignment of, all of the Vendor’s rights, duties,
obligations and liabilities under the Non-Pension Benefit Plans (whether as sponsor of, or participating employer in, such Non-Pension Benefit Plans) in respect of the Transferring Employees including, without limitation, all of the Vendor’s
rights, duties, obligations and liabilities under the insurance policies, contracts or arrangements through which the Non-Pension benefit Plans are provided. 

  

	 	(e)	 Where consent to the assignment or the amendment of a Non-Pension Benefit Plan or an insurance policy or any other agreement related to a Non-Pension Benefit Plan
is required from a Person other than the Purchaser or the Vendor, the Vendor and the Purchaser shall make reasonable best efforts to obtain such consent. If the Vendor and the Purchaser are unable to obtain consent from such Person after making such
best efforts, the Purchaser will, as of the Closing Date, establish or otherwise provide non-pension benefit plans that provide benefits 

  

 35 

	 	 
which are substantially similar to those that were provided under the Non-Pension Benefit Plans. 

  

	10.13 	Certain Litigation and Arbitration 

  
 Following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Purchased Businesses to, provide all necessary assistance to the Vendor in connection with the
Robertson Class Action, the Hollinger Arbitration and the Montréal Compositors’ Grievance (in this Section 10.13, the “Excluded Claims”). The Vendor shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Purchaser in
connection with such assistance and shall be entitled to any award, settlement or other benefit in favour of the Purchaser or any of the Purchased Businesses in connection with the Robertson Class Action, the Hollinger Arbitration or the
Montréal Compositors’ Grievance, including any award for costs, and the Purchaser hereby irrevocably assigns to the Vendor the benefit of the Excluded Claims. 
  

	10.14 	Vendor’s Credit Facility 

  
 At the Closing Time, the Vendor shall obtain a general release and direction from the Bank of Nova Scotia in its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Vendor’s

 If an Indemnified Party under any of Sections 12.1 to 12.5 (in this Section, each an “Indemnified Party”) wishes to make a Claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 12 against another Party (the
“Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the Claim for indemnification. Such notice shall specify whether the Claim originates with the Indemnified Party (an “Original
Claim”) or with a Person other than the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available): 
  

	 	(a)	the factual basis for the Claim, and 

  

	 	(b)	the amount of the Claim, or, if an amount is not then determinable, an approximate and reasonable estimate of the potential amount of the Claim. 

  

	12.7	Procedure for Indemnification 

  

	 	(a)	Claims Other Than Third Party Claims - Following receipt of Notice of a Claim from an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days to make such
investigation of the Claim as the Indemnifying Party considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its authorized representatives the information
relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the
validity and amount of the Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Claim. 

  

	 	(b)	 Third Party Claims - With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to and shall at the request of
the Indemnified Party participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of the Third Party Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of the Indemnified Party’s
out-of- 

  

 40 

	 	 
pocket expenses as a result of its participation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such control, the Indemnified Party shall co-operate with the
Indemnifying Party, shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim and shall have the right to disagree on reasonable grounds with the selection and retention of counsel, in which case counsel
satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be retained by the Indemnifying Party, acting reasonably. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain separate counsel, whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the
Indemnifying Party only if there are separate defences available to the Indemnified Party or conflicts of interest. In any other case, the Indemnifying Party, having assumed the defence, will not as long as it diligently conducts such defence, be
liable to the Indemnified Party for fees of other counsel or other expenses with respect to the defence of the proceeding, subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party other than reasonable costs of investigation approved in advance by the
Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party, having received notice of a Third Party Claim does not within ten (10) days give notice of its election to assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of the Third Party Claim, or
having assumed such control thereafter falls to defend any such Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume control at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound
by any determination of the proceedings or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Party in good faith with respect to such Third Party Claim. 

  

	12.8	Additional Rules and Procedures 

  
 The obligation of the Parties to indemnify each other pursuant to this Article shall also be subject to the following: 
  

	 	(a)	In the event that any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by applicable law to make a payment to any Person (a “Third Party”) with
respect to such Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse
the Indemnified Party for any such payment. If the amount of any liability under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the
Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay such difference to the Indemnifying Party. 

  

	 	(b)	Except in the circumstances contemplated by Subsection 12.8(a) and whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiations, settlement or defence of any Third
Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

  

 41 

	 	(c)	The Indemnified Party shall not knowingly permit any right of appeal in respect of any Third Party Claim to terminate without giving the Indemnifying Party notice thereof and an
opportunity to contest such Third Party Claim. 

  

	 	(d)	The Parties shall co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all
relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available) and shall each designate a senior officer who will keep himself informed about and be prepared to discuss the Third Party Claim with his counterpart and with counsel at all reasonable times.

  

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding Subsection 12.8(a), the Indemnifying Party shall not (i) settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim except with the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (ii) conduct any related legal or administrative proceeding in a manner which would, in the opinion of the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, have a material
adverse impact on the Indemnified Party. 

  

	 	(f)	If the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that any proceeding in respect of a Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other
than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle the proceeding.
In such case, the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

	12.9	Bulk Sales and Retail Sales Tax Waiver and Indemnity 

  
 In respect of the purchase and sale of the Directly-Held Assets under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not require the Vendor to comply or to assist the Purchaser in
complying with the requirements of (a) the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario) and any other applicable provincial or territorial bulk sales legislation or (b) section 6 of the Retail Sales Tax Act (Ontario) and any equivalent or
corresponding provision under any other applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Vendor shall indemnify and save harmless the Purchaser, its directors, officers, employees and agents (in this Section
collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Parties”), on an after-Tax basis, from and against all Claims that may be made or brought against the Indemnified Parties, or that they may suffer or incur, directly or indirectly, arising out
of such non-compliance other than Claims relating to the Assumed Liabilities. 
  

	12.10 	Exclusive Remedy 

  
 The rights of indemnity set forth in this Article 12 are the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party in respect of any misrepresentation, incorrectness in or breach of representation or warranty or breach of covenant,
by any other Party under this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties waive, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, remedies and Claims that a Party may have against the other, whether at law, under any statute or in equity (including but not
limited to claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising under any Environmental Laws, claims for breach of contract, breach of representation and warranty, negligent 

  

 42 

 
misrepresentation and all claims for breach of duty), or otherwise, directly or indirectly, relating to the provisions of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement other than as expressly provided for in this Article 12 and other than those arising with respect to any fraud or wilful misconduct. The Parties agree that if a Claim for indemnification is made by a Party in
accordance with Subsections 12.1(b), 12.2(b), 12.3(b), 12.4(b) or 12.5(b), as the case may be, and there has been a refusal by the applicable Party to make payment or otherwise provide satisfaction in respect of such Claim, then the dispute
resolution procedure referred to in Section 13.4 is the appropriate means to seek a remedy for such refusal. This Article 12 shall remain in full force and effect in all circumstances and shall not be terminated by any breach (fundamental,
negligent or otherwise) by any Party of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or under any Closing document or by any termination or rescission of this Agreement by any Party.

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED the undersigned (the “Borrower”) unconditionally promises to pay to CanWest MediaWorks Inc. (the “Lender”), its successors (including any successor by reason of
amalgamation) and assigns, or to its order, at its offices at 3100 CanWest Global Place, 201 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba (or at such other address as the Lender shall notify the Borrower), in lawful money of Canada, the amount of thirty-nine
million, one hundred eighty-seven thousand, five hundred ($39,187,500) (the “Principal Amount”) together with interest on the Principal Amount outstanding from time to time. The Principal Amount shall be due and be paid in full on
October 13, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”) unless otherwise repaid or converted prior thereto in accordance with the terms hereof . 
  

	2.	Interest 

  
 The Principal Amount outstanding at any time, and from time to time, and any overdue interest, shall bear interest at 9.7368% per annum, both before and after the maturity, default, demand and judgment. Such
interest shall be calculated and payable on the last day of each calendar month, beginning on the last day of October, 2005, provided that interest shall be payable from and including October 13, 2005 to but excluding October 31, 2005 on
such date. To the extent that the Principal Amount or any portion thereof becomes due and payable pursuant to paragraph 4, is prepaid in cash or Class B Units pursuant to paragraph 6 or is converted into Class B Units pursuant to paragraph 7 during
any calendar month, the Principal Amount or such portion thereof to be prepaid or converted shall not bear interest in respect of the month in which it is so prepaid or converted but shall bear interest up to but excluding the last day of the
preceding month. 
  

	3.	Acquisition and Investment Agreement 

  
 The Lender and the Borrower are parties to an acquisition and investment agreement dated the date hereof (the “Acquisition and Investment Agreement”).
Capitalized terms used in this LP Convertible Note and not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them in the Acquisition and Investment Agreement. 
  

	4.	Over-Allotment Option 

  
 Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Fund has granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option pursuant to which the Underwriters have the option to purchase up to a total of 4,125,000 additional Fund
Units at a price before commissions of $10.00 per Fund Unit for 30 days from the date hereof. 

 If the Underwriters exercise the Over-Allotment Option, in whole or in part, the Fund, pursuant to the Acquisition and
Investment Agreement, shall use the proceeds from the issuance of Fund Units to subscribe for Trust Units and Trust Notes and the Trust shall use the proceeds from the issuance of Trust Units and Trust Notes to subscribe for Class A Units.

  
 Upon the receipt by the Borrower of any proceeds from the issuance of
Class A Units as a result of an exercise by the Underwriters of the Over-Allotment Option, that portion of the Principal Amount that is equal to the net proceeds from such issuance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon in
accordance with paragraph 2, if any, shall immediately become due and payable under this LP Convertible Note.

by way of delivery of Class B Units, the number of Class B Units so deliverable shall be equal to the amount of the Principal Amount to be repaid divided by $9.50. 
  

	7.	Conversion Right 

  
 The Lender shall have the right at any time to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount outstanding into Class B Units. In the event that the Lender elects to convert all or any portion of the Principal
Amount into Class B Units, the number of Class B Units to be delivered shall be equal to the amount of the Principal Amount to be converted divided by $9.50. If the Lender exercises its right to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount
outstanding into Class B Units pursuant to this paragraph 7, the Lender and the Borrower may make and file, in a timely manner, joint election(s) to have the provisions of subsection 97(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any equivalent or
corresponding provision under applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation apply in respect of such conversion. It is intended that any such conversion be on a tax-deferred basis to the Lender for the purposes of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) and any applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation. 
  

	8.	Delivery of Class B Units 

  
 Class B Units to be delivered to the Lender upon a prepayment by the Borrower pursuant to paragraph 6 or a conversion by the Lender pursuant to paragraph 7 shall be delivered in a manner and at a time determined by
the Lender and the Borrower together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in cash in accordance with paragraph 2 on the portion of the Principal Amount prepaid or converted. 
  

 - 2 - 

	9.	Partial Prepayment or Conversion 

  
 In the event of a prepayment or conversion of a part of the Principal Amount only, the Borrower shall issue a new LP Convertible Note to the Lender upon surrender by the
Lender of this LP Convertible Note, which new LP Convertible Note shall denote such aggregate Principal Amount remaining following such prepayment or conversion in part. 
  

	10.	Waiver by the Borrower 

  
 The Borrower waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, notice of dishonour, notice of acceleration, and notice of protest of this Note. The Borrower also waives the benefit of any days of grace,
the benefits of division and discussion and the right to assert in any action or proceeding with regard to this Note any setoffs or counterclaims which the Borrower may have against the Lender. 
  

	11.	No Waiver by the Lender 

  
 Neither the extension of time for making any payment which is due and payable under this Note at any time or times, nor the failure, delay, or omission of the Lender to exercise or enforce any of its rights or
remedies under this Note, shall constitute a waiver by the Lender of its right to enforce any such rights and remedies subsequently. The single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the Lender’s further exercise of
such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. 
  

	12.	Governing Law and Successors 

  
 This Note is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in the
Province of Ontario, and shall enure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors (including any successor by reason of amalgamation) and assigns, and shall be binding on the Borrower and its successors (including any successor by reason of
amalgamation) and permitted assigns.

	2.	Commencement of Arbitration - Any Party to the Agreement (the “Applicant”) may commence arbitration for a Dispute by delivering a written notice (a
“Complaint”) to the Party against whom the Applicant seeks a remedy (the “Respondent”). In the Complaint, the Applicant shall describe the substance of the Dispute and name three (3) persons whom the Applicant is prepared to

provide a further list of (3) three Approved Arbitrators. The Parties shall continue to exchange lists of three (3) Approved Arbitrators in this fashion until an Approved Arbitrator is appointed. If an Arbitrator is not appointed within 30
days of the initial receipt by the Respondent of the Complaint, either Party may apply to a judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to appoint the Arbitrator on behalf of the Parties. 

  

	3.	Arbitration Procedures - The following procedures shall apply to the arbitration of any Dispute, except as the Parties may otherwise agree or as the Arbitrator otherwise

Dispute setting forth, with particularity, the full names, descriptions and addresses of the Parties, the nature of the Claim, the allegations of fact supporting the Dispute submitted for arbitration and the relief or remedy sought.

  

	 	(b)	Within 30 days after the delivery of the Claim, the Respondent shall deliver to the Applicant and the Arbitrator a written response (the “Answer”) to the Claim setting
forth, with particularity, its position on the Dispute and the allegations of fact supporting the Answer. 

  

	 	(c)	If any Respondent fails to deliver an Answer within the time limit referred to in subsection 3(b) of this Schedule, that Respondent shall, subject to subsection 3(f), be deemed to
have admitted the allegations of fact alleged in the Claim and have accepted the Applicant’s entitlement to the relief and remedy set out in the Claim. 

  

	 	(d)	Within 10 days after the delivery of any Answer, the Applicant may deliver to the Respondent and the Arbitrator a written reply (the “Reply”) to that Answer, setting
forth, with particularity, its response, if any, to the Answer. 

  

	 	(e)	 If the Respondent wants to submit any other Dispute to the Arbitrator it may, within the time provided for the delivery of the Answer to the Claim, also deliver to
the Applicant and the Arbitrator a counter-complaint (the “Counter-Complaint”) setting forth, with particularity, the nature of the Counter-Complaint, the allegations of fact supporting the Counter-Complaint and the relief or remedy
sought, for the Arbitrator to decide. Within 20 days of the delivery of a Counter-Complaint, the Applicant shall deliver to the Respondent making a Counter- 

  

 - 2 - 

	 	 
Complaint and the Arbitrator an Answer to such Counter-Complaint setting forth, with particularity, its position on the Counter-Complaint and the allegations
of fact supporting the Counter-Complaint. If the Applicant fails to deliver an Answer to the Counter-Complaint within such 20-day period, the Applicant will be deemed, subject to subsection (f) to have admitted the allegations of fact alleged
in the Counter-Complaint, and have accepted the Respondent’s entitlement to the relief and remedy set out in the Counter-Complaint. Within 10 days after the delivery of an Answer to the Counter-Complaint, the Respondent may deliver to the
Applicant and the Arbitrator a Reply to such Answer setting forth, with particularity, its response to such Answer. Any Dispute submitted to arbitration in accordance with this subsection 3(e) shall be governed by, and dealt with as if it were the
subject of a Complaint, that shall be determined by the same Arbitrator as part of the same arbitration proceeding as the Complaint. 

  

	 	(f)	The time limits set for the delivery of the documents referred to in subsections 3(a) to (e) inclusive may be extended by agreement of the Parties to the Agreement or by the
Arbitrator for such period, on such terms, and for such reasons as the Arbitrator in his or her discretion may determine upon application made to the Arbitrator in writing by either the Applicant or the Respondent on Notice to the other, with such
application being made either before the expiry of the applicable time limit or within 2 days thereafter, and the Arbitrator may relieve the applying Party of the consequences of its failure to comply with the applicable time limit, provided,
however, that the other Party shall be given an opportunity to make submissions on the application. 

  

	 	(g)	Within 20 days following the completion of the steps set out in subsections 3(a) to (e) of this Schedule, a Party may, upon Notice to the other Party and to the Arbitrator,

amendment of any Claim, Counter-Complaint, Answer or Reply; the provision of particulars; the production of documents and the need for examinations for discoveries in connection with the arbitration, either by way of oral examination or written
interrogatories and a determination as to the manner in which evidence shall be presented to the Arbitrator (by way of agreed statement of facts, affidavit evidence and transcripts of cross-examinations on such affidavit evidence or viva voce, or
some combination thereof). In making any order or giving any direction in respect of any procedural matter, the Arbitrator may impose such terms as are reasonable in order to ensure the completion of the arbitration in a timely manner. The notice
requesting any direction or order pursuant to this subsection shall state the direction or order sought and set out the reasons for seeking such direction or order. Nothing in this subsection shall be taken to limit the jurisdiction of the
Arbitrator to deal with procedural matters in accordance with the Arbitration Act. 

  

	 	(h)	 In the case where no Party has requested directions in accordance with paragraph 3(g), the Arbitrator shall give directions regarding the further procedural steps
in the arbitration, including any production of documents, any examinations for 

  

 - 3 - 

	 	 
discovery, and the nature of any hearing (“Hearing”). In making any order or giving any direction in respect of any procedural matter the
Arbitrator may impose such terms as are reasonable in order to ensure the completion of the arbitration in a timely manner. The Parties shall have an opportunity to make oral submissions to the Arbitrator in respect of such procedural steps.

  

	 	(i)	Unless the time for making an award is extended by agreement of the Parties or by court order, the Arbitrator shall be requested to make an award as soon as possible and within 60
days after completion of any Hearing or other final procedural step in which evidence or argument are provided to the Arbitrator or as soon thereafter as is practicable. The award shall be in writing and shall state the reasons on which it is based.
Executed copies of all awards shall be delivered by the Arbitrator to each Party as soon as is reasonably possible. 

  

	4.	Agreement to be Bound - Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 of this Schedule, no individual shall be appointed as Arbitrator unless he or she agrees in writing
to be bound by the provisions of this Schedule, including, without limitation the provisions of Section 11. 

  

	5.	Arbitrator Discretion - Subject to the Arbitration Act, the Agreement and this Schedule, the Arbitrator may conduct the arbitration in such manner as the Arbitrator considers
appropriate. 

  

	6.	Interim Relief - At the request of any Party, the Arbitrator may take such interim measures as the Arbitrator considers necessary in respect of the Dispute, including
