Copies of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the form of this Global Bond are available for inspection at the principal corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in Vancouver, British Columbia (the "Vancouver Office") or, if the Fiscal Agent has designated in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement a different office in Vancouver, British Columbia for such inspections, at the designated office. The Bonds and the Fiscal Agency Agreement will together constitute a contract, all the terms and conditions of which the registered holders of Bonds by acceptance of such Bonds are deemed to have notice thereof and to have assented thereto.

2. This Global Bond is registered in the name of the nominee of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS") and held by CDS. Beneficial interests in this Global Bond are represented through book-entry accounts, to be established and maintained by CDS, of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and indirect participants of CDS.

Except in limited circumstances, owners of beneficial interests in this Global Bond will not be entitled to have Bonds registered in their names and will not receive nor be entitled to receive certificated Bonds in definitive form. Neither the Issuer nor the Fiscal Agent will have any responsibility or liability for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of CDS relating to beneficial interests in this Global Bond or for any aspect of the records of CDS relating to payments made by CDS on account of such beneficial interests.

4.

Notice of the appointment of a replacement Fiscal Agent shall be sufficient if given to registered holders of Bonds at least 30 days in advance of such appointment or, as long as the Bonds are represented by this Global Bond, such shorter period as may be agreed by CDS. However, any unintentional defect or failure in the giving of such notice shall not invalidate the appointment of the replacement Fiscal Agent. The Issuer reserves the right to act as its own fiscal agent and registrar at any time.

6. The Issuer and the Fiscal Agent may deem and treat the registered holder of the Bonds as the absolute owner for the purpose of receiving payments of principal and interest and for all other purposes notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

the Bonds are represented by this Global Bond, payments of principal and interest on the Bonds will be paid to the registered holder entitled to such payments as determined in accordance with the regular procedures established from time to time by CDS and the Fiscal Agent.

8. All payments in respect of interest on the Bonds shall be made on each Interest Payment Date: (a) in the case of this Global Bond, in accordance with the regular procedures established

from time to time by CDS and the Fiscal Agent; or

(b) in the case of certificated Bonds in definitive form, by forwarding by post, or otherwise delivering, a cheque to the registered addresses of registered holders of definitive Bonds or, if the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent so agree, by otherwise transferring funds in respect of such interest to the credit of the registered holders of definitive Bonds.

9. Whenever it is necessary to compute any amount of interest in respect of the Bonds for a period of less than one full year, other than with respect to regular semi-annual interest payments, such interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the period and a year of 365 days.

10. Payments in respect of principal of and interest on the Bonds shall only be made on a day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, on which financial institutions are open for normal business in Vancouver, British Columbia (a "Vancouver Business Day") and if any date for payment is not a Vancouver Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Vancouver Business Day and no further interest shall be paid in respect of the delay in such payment.

11. Any notice to be given to the Issuer by a registered holder of any Bond shall be given to the Issuer by written notice from the registered holder lodged at the Vancouver Office of the Fiscal Agent. 12. The Bonds are not redeemable prior to maturity.
