              PAYING
                AGENCY

            

    

    

    4.1 The
      Issuer shall remit the funds necessary for the payment of interest on and
      principal of the Notes to the Fiscal Agent, in Canadian dollars in same-day
      funds, to such account at the Fiscal Agent in London or Canada as the Fiscal
      Agent may from time to time specify (the “Redemption
      Account”)
      on the
      Business Day such payment is due as set forth in the Notes and
      Conditions.

    

    The
      Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Fiscal Agent, from the amounts so
      paid
      to it, to make payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Notes on the
      due date for payment set forth in the Conditions and this Agreement. If
      applicable, the Fiscal Agent will, from funds so received from the Issuer,
      credit to the account of the Paying Agent the amounts of all such payments
      made
      by it in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

    

    The
      Issuer shall confirm to the Fiscal Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (London
      time)
      on the second Business Day before the relevant date for such payment that it
      has
      issued irrevocable payment instructions for such payment to be made.

    

    The
      Fiscal Agent, in coordination with CDS, shall procure tax forms required for
      exemption from withholding tax under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

    

    4.2 If
      for
      any reason the Fiscal Agent does not receive unconditionally the full amount
      payable by the Issuer on the relevant due date in respect of all the outstanding
      or maturing Notes, the Fiscal Agent shall forthwith notify immediately the
      Issuer by telephone followed by facsimile and the Fiscal Agent shall not be
      bound to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of the Notes
      until
      the Fiscal Agent has received to its order the full amount of the monies then
      due and payable in respect of all outstanding or maturing Notes, provided,
      however, that if the Fiscal Agent shall, in its discretion, make any payment
      of
      principal or interest on or after the due date therefor in respect of the Notes
      prior to its unconditional receipt of the full amount then due and payable
      in
      respect of all outstanding Notes, the Issuer will promptly pay such amount
      to
      the Fiscal Agent and will compensate the Fiscal Agent at a rate equal to the
      Fiscal Agent’s cost of funding.

    

    4.3 Out
      of
      the sums paid to the Fiscal Agent in respect of interest and principal on the
      Notes, the Fiscal Agent will make payment free of charge in accordance with
      instructions from the registered holder of the Global Note as stipulated in
      Clause 9 below, in the amounts specified in the Conditions. The Fiscal Agent
      shall obtain from the Registrar, and the Registrar shall supply, such details
      as
      are required for the Paying Agent to make payment as stated above.

    

    
      
        4.4
          In
          respect of the monies paid to it relating to any Note, the Fiscal
          Agent

      

    

    

    4.4.1
      shall not be entitled to exercise any lien, right of set-off or similar claim
      (including without limitation any claim arising from or relating to any other
      issue of securities by the Issuer), 

    
      
        4.4.2
          shall
          not
          be required to account for interest thereon and

      

    

    
      
        4.4.3
          money
          held by it need not be segregated except as may be required by applicable
          law.

    5.1 On
      behalf
      and at the request and expense of the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent shall cause
      to be
      published any notices required to be given by the Issuer in accordance with

      Conditions.

    

    5.2 
      The
      Issuer shall provide to the Fiscal Agent sufficient copies of all documents

    6.1 Subject
      to the terms of the Indenture, promptly upon the Issuer’s request, the Registrar
      shall take all measures necessary to cancel any Notes which the Issuer has
      repurchased or whose maturity has been accelerated pursuant to the Conditions.
      The Registrar shall cause any such Notes to be cancelled in accordance with
      the
      procedures established for that purpose by CDS, resulting in a reduction in
      the
      aggregate amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note by the aggregate
      amount of the Notes so cancelled.

    

    6.2 On
      the
      same day such cancellation is effected, the Registrar shall record such
      cancellation of Notes on the Register in such a way that the aggregate principal
      amount of Notes cancelled at any time together with the aggregate principal
      amount of Notes outstanding and represented by the Global Notes shall equal
      the
      aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued by the
      Issuer.

    

    6.3 The
      Registrar shall upon request furnish the Issuer with a notice of cancellation
      signed by an authorized officer of the Registrar confirming the cancellation
      of
      such Notes and the corresponding reduction of the relevant Global
      Note(s).

      by
      the Global Note at the date of issue and all subsequent transfers and exchanges

    7.3 The
      Registrar shall at all reasonable times during office hours make the Register
      available to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent or any person authorised by either
      of them for inspection and for the taking of copies thereof or extracts
      therefrom, and the Registrar shall deliver to such persons such information

              CONDITIONS
                OF APPOINTMENT

            

    

    

    10.1 The
      Issuer will pay to the Agents a remuneration for all services rendered hereunder
      by the Agents in connection with the Notes together with any expenses incurred
      as separately agreed upon by the Agents and the Issuer.

    

    10.2
      The
      Issuer will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents against any loss,
      liability or expense which it may incur or any claim, action or demand which
      may
      be made against it resulting from the negligence or wilful misconduct on the
      part of the Issuer (or its officers, employees or agents (other than the Agents
      and their officers, employees, and agents)) and arising out of or in connection
      with such Agent’s appointment or the exercise of its powers and duties hereunder
      without negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of such Agent.

    

    10.3
      Each
      Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer against any loss, liability
      or
      expense incurred by the Issuer or any claim, action or demand which may be
      made
      against the Issuer resulting from the negligence or wilful misconduct on the
      part of such Agent (or such Agent’s officers, employees or agents) and arising
      out of or in connection with such Agent’s duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, under no circumstances will any Agent be liable to the Issuer or
      any
      other person for any consequential loss (being loss of business, goodwill,
      opportunity or profit) even if advised to the possibility of such loss or
      damages.

    

    10.4
      The
      indemnities above shall survive the termination or expiry of this
      Agreement.

    

    10.5
      Each
      of the Agents shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect
      of any action taken, omitted or suffered in reliance upon any instruction or
      communication from the Issuer or any document reasonably believed by it to
      be
      genuine and to have been delivered, signed or sent by the proper party or
      parties in accordance with the provisions hereof, except such as may result
      from
      its own negligence or wilful misconduct or that of its officers, employees
      or
      agents.

    

    10.6 
      In
      acting hereunder and in connection with the Notes, the Agents do not assume
      any
      relationship of agency and trust for the Noteholders, and shall not have any
      obligation towards them except that all funds held by the Fiscal Agent for
      payment of principal of or interest on the Notes shall be held exclusively
      for
      the benefit of and for payment to the Noteholders and shall be applied as set
      forth herein and in the Conditions. Except as otherwise required by applicable
      law, no Agent will be required to segregate any funds held by it hereunder
      from
      any of its other funds.

    

    10.7 
      Nothing
      herein shall be deemed to require any Agent to advance its own funds in the
      performance of its duties hereunder.

    

    10.8 The
      Agents may consult with legal and other professional advisers selected in good
      faith and satisfactory to them and the opinion of such advisers shall be full
      and complete protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered
      hereunder in good faith and without negligence and in accordance with the
      opinion of such advisers.

    

    10.9
      The
      Agents shall be obliged to perform such duties and only such duties as are
      herein 

    specifically
      set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this
      Agreement against the Agents. No Agent shall be under any obligation to take
      any
      action hereunder which it expects will result in any expense or liability of
      such Agent, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in its
      opinion, assured to it. The obligations of the Agents hereunder are several
      and
      not joint.

    

    10.10 The
      Agents, their affiliates and their respective officers and employees, in their
      individual or any other capacity, may become the owner of, or acquire any
      interest in, any Notes with the same rights that the Agents would have it they
      were not the Agents hereunder.

    12.1 
      Each of
      the Fiscal Agent, Registrar and Principal Paying Agent in its capacity as such
      may be removed at any time by the giving to it of at least 30 days’ written
      notice to that effect signed on behalf of the Issuer specifying the date on
      which such removal shall become effective. Each of the Fiscal Agent, Registrar
      and Principal Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’
written notice (unless the Issuer agrees to accept less notice) to that effect
      to the Issuer specifying the date on which such resignation shall become
      effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such resignation or removal shall
      take effect within 30 days before or after any due date for payment of any
      Notes
      or before a new Fiscal Agent, Registrar and Principal Paying Agent, as the
      case
      may be, shall have been appointed by the Issuer as hereinafter provided, and
      such new Agent shall have accepted such appointment. Any change in any Agent
      shall be notified by the Issuer to the other Agent(s).

    12.2 The
      Issuer agrees with the Fiscal Agent that if, by the day falling 10 days before
      the expiry of any notice under Clause 12.1 above, the Issuer has not appointed
      a
      replacement Fiscal Agent, then the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled, on behalf
      of
      the Issuer, to appoint in its place any reputable financial institution of
      good
      standing and the Issuer shall not unreasonably object to such
      appointment.

    

    12.3 Upon
      the
      effectiveness of the appointment of any successor Fiscal Agent, Registrar and
      Principal Paying Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to Clause 12.1, the Fiscal
      Agent, Registrar and Principal Paying Agent so removed shall cease to be a
      Fiscal Agent, Registrar and Principal Paying Agent, as the case may be,
      hereunder. Prior to the effectiveness of such appointment, the Fiscal Agent,
      Registrar and Principal Paying Agent shall hold all moneys deposited with it
      or
      held by it hereunder in respect of the Notes to the order of the respective
      successor Fiscal Agent, Registrar and Principal Paying Agent.
