Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of Holders signing such instrument or instruments.

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of commencement of such Person's holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any different part of such principal amount.

The Company may set any day as the record date for the purpose of determining Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Such record date shall be not earlier than the 30th day prior to the first solicitation of any Holder to give or take any such action and not later than the date of such first solicitation. With regard to any record date set pursuant to this paragraph, Holders of Outstanding Securities of the applicable series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date.

14

(2)

the Company by the Trustee, by the Guarantor or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company, addressed to it at 500 Dallas Street, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77002, to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, or

Notice to Holders; Waiver

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid (if international mail, by air mail), to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 107.

Conflict with Trust Indenture Act

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control.

Section 114.

Language of Notices, Etc.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

Section 115.

Interest Limitation

It is the intention of the Company to conform strictly to all applicable usury laws and any subsequent revisions, repeals or judicial interpretations thereof. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under any applicable law then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Securities or this Indenture, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law with respect to a Security shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal amount of such Security shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Company), to 

16

the extent permitted by applicable law; and (ii) in the event that the maturity of any Security is accelerated or in the event of any redemption of such Security, then such consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to the principal amount of such Security (or, if the principal amount of such Security shall be paid in full, refunded to the Company), to the extent permitted by applicable law. All calculations made to compute the rate of interest with respect to a Security for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law shall be made, to the extent permitted by such applicable law, by allocating and spreading during the period of the full stated term of such Security all interest any time contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Holder or by the Trustee on behalf of any such Holder in connection therewith so that the amount or rate of interest charged for any and all periods of time during the term of the Security does not exceed the maximum amount or rate of interest allowed to be charged by law during the relevant period of time. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if at any time applicable laws shall be changed so as to permit a higher rate or amount of interest to be charged than that permitted prior to such change, then unless prohibited by law, references in this Indenture or any Security to "applicable law" when used in the context of determining the maximum interest or rate of interest that can be charged shall be deemed to refer to such applicable law as so amended to allow the greater amount or rate of interest.

The right to accelerate maturity of any Security does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued to the date of such acceleration, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the continuing accrual after acceleration of interest in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Security. The agreements set forth in this Section are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

Section 116.

No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements and Instruments

This Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture, loan, debt agreement or debt instrument of the Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Guarantor. Any such indenture, loan, debt agreement or debt instrument may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Forms of Reverse of Securities

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company, limited in initial aggregate principal amount to [$750,000,000 (in the case of the 2011 Securities)] [$850,000,000 (in the case of the 2016 Securities)] [$550,000,000 (in the case of the 2036 Securities)], issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of December 9, 2005 (herein called the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantor and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Securities issued and to be issued under the Indenture consist of $750,000,000 initial aggregate original principal amount of 5.35% Senior Notes due 2011, $850,000,000 initial aggregate original principal amount of 5.70% Senior Notes due 2016 and $550,000,000 initial aggregate original principal amount of 6.40% Senior Notes due 2036 and are hereinafter collectively called the "Securities"; provided, 

20

however, that the Company may reopen any series of Securities to issue additional Securities of such series, which shall form a single series with the other Securities of such series and shall have the same terms, without the consent of the Holders.

[The Holder of this [2011] [2016] [2036] Security is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company agrees to pay liquidated damages (the "Liquidated Damages"), as specified below, upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each such event a "Liquidated Damages Event"): (i) if the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities is not filed within 120 days following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 121st day after the Closing Date, Liquidated Damages shall accrue on the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities over and above the otherwise applicable interest rate at a rate of 0.25% per annum, (ii) if the Exchange Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities is filed and is not declared effective within 210 days following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 211th day after the Closing Date, Liquidated Damages shall accrue on the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities over and above the otherwise applicable interest rate at a rate of 0.25% per annum, or (iii) if either (A) the Company has not exchanged Exchange Securities for all [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer on or prior to 45 Business Days after the date on which the Exchange Registration Statement with respect to the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities was declared effective, or (B) the Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities has been declared effective but such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time (I) prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date or, if Rule 144(k) is amended to provide a shorter restrictive period, such shorter period (the "Rule 144(k) Holding Period") and (II) while Registrable [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities are Outstanding, then Liquidated Damages shall accrue on the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities over and above the otherwise applicable interest rate at a rate of 0.25% per annum commencing on the (x) 46th Business Day after such effective date, in the case of (A) above, or (y) the day the Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities ceases to be effective, in the case of (B) above; provided, however, that the rate at which Liquidated Damages accrue on the Securities shall never exceed 0.25% per annum; and provided, further, that Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue upon the earlier of (X) when all Liquidated Damages Events with respect to the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities have been cured or (Y) upon the expiration of the Rule 144(k) Holding Period. For purposes of clarifying the foregoing provisions (i) the circumstances under which Liquidated Damages are owed are not cumulative, (ii) in no event will the rate of Liquidated Damages exceed 0.25% per annum, and (iii) Liquidated Damages shall not accrue at any time when there are no Registrable [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities Outstanding.] 8

If an Event of Default with respect to the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities are redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days' notice mailed to each Holder of the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities to be redeemed at the

21

Holder's address appearing in the Security Register, on any date prior to Maturity at a price equal to (a) 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date) and (b) a Make-Whole Premium, if any (the "Redemption Price"). In no event will the Redemption Price ever be less than 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date. The Make-Whole Premium will be calculated by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company; provided, that if the Company fails to make such appointment at least 30 Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, or if the institution so appointed is unwilling or unable to make such calculation, such calculation will be made by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to make such calculation, by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee (in any such case, an "Independent Investment Banker") on the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture.

The Company has no obligation to redeem or purchase any Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous requirement, or upon the happening of a specified event, or at the option of a Holder thereof.

The Company may at any time redeem in whole but not in part this Security at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption if the Company has become or would become obligated to pay any Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 1108 of the Indenture, the provisions of which are incorporated by reference) in respect of this Security or the Guarantee as a result of (a) any change in or amendment to the laws (or regulations promulgated thereunder) of Canada (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or (b) any change in or amendment to any published administrative position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment is announced or is effective on or after the date of the Indenture on the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provision for defeasance at any time of (1) the entire indebtedness of this Security or (2) certain covenants contained therein, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of Holders of the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of Holders of all the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture with respect to the [2011] [2016] [2036] Securities and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange 

22

herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series, Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceedings within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or any interest on this Security on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder hereof, alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed, except for Section 115 of the Indenture (which limits interest to the maximum amount permissible by law), the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference. The Company will pay to the Holders such Additional Amounts as may become payable under Section 1108 of the Indenture subject to the right of redemption.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of the same series, of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, unless otherwise required by law. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series and of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or 

23

not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Securities thereunder, including this Security, and of the Guarantor under the Guarantee, are payable only out of the respective cash flow and assets of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable. The Trustee, and each Holder of a Security by its acceptance hereof, will be deemed to have agreed in the Indenture that no director, officer, employee, or shareholder, as such, of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing entities shall have any personal liability in respect of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture, the Company under the Securities, or of the Guarantor under any Guarantee, by reason of his, her or its status. The Company's shareholder, however, is liable.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Section 303.

Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President or any Vice President of the Company and need not be attested.

Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more Definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, each with a Guarantee endorsed thereon. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Securities of such series and tenor.

Section 305.

Transfer and Exchange.

(a)

Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. A Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Securities will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Securities if (i) the Company 

28

delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Securities or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause issuance of the Securities in certificated form; provided, that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Security be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Securities prior to (x) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (y) the receipt by the Security Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities Act or an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such certificates are not required pursuant to Rule 903. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events described in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, Definitive Securities shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder thereof, exchange all or part of a Global Security for one or more Definitive Securities in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 306 hereof. Every Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 305(a) or Section 306 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Security other than as provided in this Section 305(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 305(b), (c) or (f) hereof. 

(b)

Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Securities. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Securities shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Securities also shall require compliance with all the following subparagraphs as are applicable:

(1)

Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Security. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Security in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Restricted Securities Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Security may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than a Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Security may be transferred only to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Security Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 305(b)(1).

(2)

All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Securities. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in Global Securities not provided for in Section 305(b)(1), the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Security Registrar:

(i)

(1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the 

29

Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or

(ii)

(1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Security Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Security shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in clause (1) of this clause (B), provided, that in no event shall Definitive Securities be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Security prior to (x) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (y) the receipt by the Security Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities Act or an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such certificates are not required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B). In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Security may not be exchanged for Definitive Securities except upon at least 20 days' prior written notice given to the Trustee and the Security Registrar by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with Applicable Procedures. Upon an Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with Section 305(f) hereof, the requirements of this Section 305(b)(2) shall be deemed to have been satisfied with respect to the exchange of Securities of a series in such Exchange Offer upon receipt by the Security Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Securities. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Securities contained in this Indenture, the Securities of such series and otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Security(s) pursuant to Section 305(h) hereof.

Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

(1)

The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered 

42

at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of each applicable series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) of each applicable series are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

Section 509.

Restoration of Rights and Remedies

50

rights and remedies of the Trustee and Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

There shall at all times be one or more Trustees hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, at least one of which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus required by the Trust Indenture Act. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 610

Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611.

The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and the Guarantor. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

56

The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company and the Guarantor. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If at any time:

(1)

the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company, or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

(2)

the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company, or by any such Holder, or

(3)

the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case (A) the Company, by a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect 

57

to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the Guarantor, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (A) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (B) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (C) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees as co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, but, on request of the Company, the Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

(3)

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

Section 613.

Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company or the Guarantor

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company, the Guarantor, or any other obligor upon the Securities, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company, the Guarantor or any such other obligor.

Section 614.

Appointment of Authenticating Agent

The Trustee (upon notice to the Company and the Guarantor) may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue (in accordance with procedures acceptable to the Trustee) and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and the Guarantor and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

59

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of such Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company and the Guarantor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company and the Guarantor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and the Guarantor. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

Except with respect to an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of the Company, the Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

The Company and the Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee, within 150 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers' Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer or signers thereof the Company or the Guarantor is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company or the Guarantor shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

Section 1005.

Limitations on Liens

The Guarantor shall not, nor shall the Guarantor permit any Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee any debt for money borrowed (any such debt being referred to in this Section as "Debt"), if such Debt is secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest or lien (any mortgage, pledge, security interest or lien being referred to in this Section as a "mortgage" or "mortgages") upon any Principal Property of the Guarantor or any Principal Subsidiary or upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Principal Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property, shares or indebtedness is now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such case effectively providing, concurrently with the issuance assumption or guarantee of such Debt, that the Guarantee (together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Guarantor or such Principal Subsidiary ranking equally with the Guarantee) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

68

(1)

mortgages on any property acquired, constructed or improved by the Guarantor or any Principal Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture which are created or assumed contemporaneously with, or within 180 days after, such acquisition (or in the case of property constructed or improved, after the completion and commencement of commercial operation of such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price or cost of such construction or improvement; it being understood that if a commitment for such a financing is obtained prior to or within such 180-day period, the applicable mortgage shall be deemed to be included in this clause (1) whether or not such mortgage is created within such 180-day period; provided that in the case of such construction or improvement the mortgage shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Guarantor or any Subsidiary other than theretofore unimproved real property on which the property so constructed, or the improvement is located; 

(2)

mortgages on any property existing at the time of the acquisition thereof (including mortgages on any property acquired from a Person which is consolidated with or merged with or into the Guarantor or a Subsidiary) and mortgages outstanding at the time any corporation becomes a Subsidiary; 

(3)

mortgages in favor of the Guarantor or any Principal Subsidiary; 

(4)

mortgages in favor of the United States, any State thereof, any foreign country or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of any such jurisdiction, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such mortgages, including, without limitation, mortgages to secure Debt of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type; and

(5)

any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any mortgage referred to in any of the foregoing clauses (1) to (4), inclusive; provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or part of the property that secured the mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Guarantor and any Subsidiary may issue, assume or guarantee secured Debt, which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, in an aggregate amount which, together with all other such Debt, does not exceed 10% of Net Tangible Assets, as shown on a consolidated balance sheet, as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the proposed transaction, prepared by the Guarantor in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Section 1006.

Waiver of Certain Covenants

The Company or the Guarantor may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1002 through 1005, as applicable, with respect to the Securities of any series or the Guarantee endorsed thereon if before the time for such 

69

compliance Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all affected series (voting as one class) shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

A waiver which changes or eliminates any term, provision or condition of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such term, provision or condition, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

Section 1007.

Officers' Certificate as to Liquidated Damages

The Company shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee within five Business Days after a Liquidated Damages Event occurs which identifies such Liquidated Damages Event and states the date as of which Liquidated Damages began accruing or will begin to accrue. Promptly upon (i) a Liquidated Damages Event having been cured or (ii) the expiration of the Rule 144(k) Holding Period, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate which identifies such Liquidated Damages Event, states that it has been cured or that the Rule 144(k) Holding Period has expired, as the case may be, and states the date as of which Liquidated Damages ceased accruing or will cease to accrue.

ARTICLE XI

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101.

Optional Redemption

The Securities of any series will be redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days' notice mailed to each Holder of the Securities of such series to be redeemed at the Holder's address appearing in the Security Register, on any date prior to Maturity at a price equal to (a) 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date) and (b) a Make-Whole Premium, if any (the "Redemption Price"). In no event will the Redemption Price ever be less than 100% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date. The Make-Whole Premium will be calculated by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company; provided, that if the Company fails to make such appointment at least 30 Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, or if the institution so appointed is unwilling or unable to make such calculation, such calculation will be made by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to make such calculation, by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee (in any such case, an "Independent Investment Banker").

70

The Company has no obligation to redeem or purchase any Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous requirement, or (except as provided in Article V) upon the happening of a specified event, or at the option of a Holder thereof.

Section 1102.

Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, not less than 35 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of the Securities of such series to be redeemed. 

Section 1103.

Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, on a pro rata basis or by any other method which the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and which complies with any securities exchange or other applicable requirements for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any such Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of the Securities shall relate, in the case of any such Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 1104.

Notice of Redemption

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail (if international mail, by air mail), postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(1)

the Redemption Date,

(2)

the Redemption Price, or, if the Redemption Price has not been determined as of the mailing of the notice, the manner of calculating the Redemption Price,

(3)

if less than all the Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities of such series to be redeemed,

71

(4)

that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, and

(5)

the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

Section 1105.

Deposit of Redemption Price

Prior to 10:30 a.m. New York City Time on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Guarantor or a Subsidiary is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 1106.

Securities Payable on Redemption Date

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in such Security.

Section 1107.

Securities Redeemed in Part

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of the same series and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

72

Section 1108.

Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes and Payment of Additional Amounts

The Securities of the affected series may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, prior to maturity at the Company's option, upon the giving of notice of redemption, at the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, if, in the opinion of independent Canadian counsel of recognized standing (which may be Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP), the Company or the Guarantor is, or on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the applicable Securities will be, obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as hereinafter defined) in respect of the Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof as a result of (a) any change in, or amendment to, the laws or treaties (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of Canada or of the United States affecting taxation which becomes effective on or after the date of this Indenture; or (b) any change in the official position regarding the application, administration, or interpretation of the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of Canada or of the United States (including a holding, judgment, or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), on or after the date of this Indenture; and the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, cannot avoid payment of Additional Amounts by (i) filing a form, certificate, or other document with the appropriate taxing authority, the preparation or filing of which form, certificate, or other document, or any conditions or undertakings contained therein, does not cause any material detriment or material expense to the Company or the Guarantor or (ii) taking some other action which in their reasonable judgment is purely ministerial and does not cause any material detriment or material expense to the Company or the Guarantor. To exercise such right of redemption, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certification stating that it is entitled to effect such redemption pursuant to the terms of the Securities and shall cause a notice specifying the date for redemption of the Securities to be given to the Holders of such Securities not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days before the date specified for redemption and not earlier than 90 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or the Guarantor would be obliged to make such payment of Additional Amounts or withholding nor later than 365 days after the Company or the Guarantor first become liable to make such payment or withholding.

All payments made by the Company in respect of the Securities of any series or by the Guarantor under its Guarantee will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, or other governmental charges of any nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Canada or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax ("Taxes"), unless the Company is, or the Guarantor under its Guarantee is, required by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or agency to withhold or deduct such Taxes. If the Company is, or the Guarantor under its Guarantee is, so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes (or if a beneficial owner of a Security properly pays such Taxes directly as a result of (1) such owner being exempt from withholding as a result of its status for Canadian federal income tax purposes, or (2) the failure of the Company, or KMI under its Guarantee, to properly withhold or deduct such Taxes), the Company or the Guarantor under its Guarantee, as the case may be, will make the required withholding or deduction, make payment of the amount so withheld or deducted to the appropriate government authority and pay such additional amounts ("Additional Amounts") as may be necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by the Holders after the withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction from such 

73

Additional Amounts) (or after the proper payment of such Taxes directly by the beneficial owner (including payment of such Taxes on Additional Amounts)) will not be less than the amounts of principal, interest and premium which would have been received in respect of the Securities in the absence of the withholding or deduction (or proper payment of Taxes). No Additional Amounts shall, however, be payable:

(1)

to a Holder in respect of a beneficial owner of the Security who is subject to the Taxes by reason of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner and Canada other than solely by the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Securities or by the receipt of payments in respect of the Securities or the enforcement of the rights hereunder; or 

(2)

to the extent that the Taxes would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Canada of the beneficial owner if:

(i)

such compliance is required or imposed by law as a precondition to exemption from all or a part of the Tax; and

(ii)

at least 60 days prior to the first interest payment date with respect to which this clause (2) will apply, the Company or the Guarantor have notified the Holders that they will be required to comply with this requirement; or

(3)

to a Holder in respect of a beneficial owner that does not deal at arm's length (as contemplated by the Income Tax Act (Canada)) with the Company or the Guarantor at the time the payment is made.

No Additional Amounts will be paid to a Holder that is a depositary or its nominee to the extent that a beneficial owner would not have been entitled to receive payment of the Additional Amounts had the beneficial owner been the Holder of the Security.

For avoidance of doubt, all references to principal of and interest or premium on the Securities in this Indenture shall include any Additional Amounts payable by the Company or the Guarantor under its Guarantee.

The Company will pay any present or future stamp, court, documentary or other similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from the execution, delivery or registration of, or enforcement of rights under, this Indenture or any related document ("Documentary Taxes").

The Company's and the Guarantor's obligation to pay Additional Amounts and Documentary Taxes will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture.

74

ARTICLE XII

NON-RECOURSE

Section 1201.

No Personal Liability of Officers, Directors, Employees or Shareholders

Obligations of the Company or the Guarantor, as such, under this Indenture, the Securities and any Guarantee, are payable only out of cash flow and assets of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable. The Trustee, and each Holder of a Security by its acceptance thereof, will be deemed to have agreed in this Indenture that no director, officer, employee, stockholder or shareholder, as such, of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing entities shall have any personal liability in respect of the obligations of the Company or the Guarantor under this Indenture, the Company under the Securities or of the Guarantor under any Guarantee by reason of his, her or its status. The Company's shareholder, however, is liable. The agreements set forth in this Section 1201 are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities and the Guarantee.

ARTICLE XIII

DEFEASANCE

Section 1301.

Applicability of Article

acknowledging the same, if the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"):

(1)

The Company or the Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust, for the purposes of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of Holders of the Securities of such series (A) cash in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest at such times and in such amounts as will insure the availability of cash, or (C) a combination thereof, certified to be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal and interest and premium, if any, on all Securities of such series on each date that such principal, interest or premium, if any, is due and payable or on any Redemption Date established pursuant to Clause (3) below;

(2)

The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (i) based on the fact that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and such opinion shall confirm that, Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and (ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in Canada to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal or provincial income tax or other tax (including withholding tax) purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Canadian federal and provincial income tax and other tax (including withholding 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.

(3)

If the Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity, notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made;

(4)

No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(5)

Such defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act);

(6)

Such defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or the Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound;

(7)

Such defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder; and

Section 1304.

Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all moneys or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 (and all funds earned on such moneys or U.S. Government Obligations) shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to Holders of the particular Securities of such series for the payment or redemption of which such moneys or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest; but such moneys or U.S. Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Section 1305.

Repayment to the Company or the Guarantor

The Trustee and any Paying Agent promptly shall pay or return to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, upon Company Request or Guarantor Request any money and U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal of and any interest on the Securities of any series for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303, which, in the opinion of a 

78

nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amounts required to effect the defeasance with respect to the Outstanding Securities in question.

The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall apply to any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article that remains unclaimed for two years after the Maturity of any series of Securities for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303.

Section 1306.

Reinstatement

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U. S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 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, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities of the applicable series and the obligations of the Guarantor under this Indenture and the Guarantee with respect to such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Indenture until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U. S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantor has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities of such series because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall be subrogated to the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

ARTICLE XIV

GUARANTEE

Section 1401.

Unconditional Guarantee

The Guarantor by executing a counterpart of this Indenture hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees (the "Guarantee"), on an unsecured senior basis to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, that:  (i) the principal of and interest on the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue installment of interest, to the extent lawful, on the Securities and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same and any other circumstance (other than performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that in the event of a default in the payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest on a Security of any series, proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to 

79

Section 507 of this Indenture, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Section 1402.

Subrogation

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities of a particular series against the Company in respect of any amount paid by the Guarantor on account of such Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, any premium and interest on all Securities of such series issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.

Section 1403.

Execution of Guarantee

To evidence its guarantee to the Holders set forth in this Article XIV, the Guarantor executing this Indenture agrees to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form set forth in Section 202, which shall be endorsed on each Security ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security such Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of the Guarantor by an officer of the Guarantor (whom shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) prior to the authentication of the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee of behalf of the Guarantor. Such signature upon the Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer of the Guarantor.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed in multiple counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument all as of the day and year first above written.
