THE TRUST

2.1: Establishment and Settlement of the Trust

The Trust is hereby established and settled by the Trustee which hereby declares that it holds in trust, as trustee, the sum of one thousand U.S. dollars (U.S.$1,000) and all property of every nature and kind which it may acquire in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, and all income, profits and gains which at any time may be derived from the Trust's property, for the benefit of the Unitholders, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Declaration of Trust. The Trust will be known as "TransCanada Trust", or by such other name as the Trustee may determine from time to time to be necessary or appropriate. Should the Trustee determine that the use of any such name is not practicable, lawful or convenient, the Trustee may use such other designation or adopt such other name for the Trust as the Trustee deems appropriate and the Trust Assets may be held and the affairs and business of the Trust conducted under any such name.

2.2: Head Office

The head office and situs of the administration of the Trust will be at 450 – 1st Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 5H1, or at such other place in Canada as the Trustee may determine from time to time to be necessary or desirable. The Trust may have such other offices and places of administration within Canada as the Trustee may determine from time to time are necessary or desirable.

2.3: Objective of the Trust

The objective of the Trust is to acquire, hold and reinvest Trust Assets to generate income for payment of principal, interest, redemption price, if any, and any other amount on its debt securities, including its Trust Notes, and distribute its Net Distributable Funds, if any, to Unitholders according and subject to this Declaration of Trust.

2.4: Ownership of Trust Assets

The Trustee in its capacity as trustee and on behalf of the Unitholders will have sole legal title to the Trust Assets. The Trustee will have the sole right to conduct the affairs and business of the Trust and the Unitholders will not have any interest in the Trust Assets, other than the beneficial interest conferred by their Units under this Declaration of Trust. The Unitholders will not have any right to call for any partition or division of any part of the Trust Assets nor can they be called on to pay for, contribute toward or assume any losses of the Trust or, except as expressly provided in this Declaration of Trust or in the Subscription Agreements, to offer an assessment or further payment to the Trust or the Trustee of any kind by virtue of their ownership of Units. The Trust Assets will be considered at all times as property held in trust by the Trustee, as trustee of the Trust, according and subject to this Declaration of Trust. The Trustee will be entitled to exercise, in its discretion, all rights and powers of an owner of the Trust Assets, including the power to enter into all agreements which it deems necessary on behalf of the Trust. Despite the foregoing, the Trustee will have the power to cause any and all Trust Assets to be held by or registered in the name of any Person on such terms and in such manner as the Trustee may determine and with or without disclosure that the Trust has an interest in the Trust Assets.

2.5: Binding Effect

Each Unitholder and all Persons claiming through the Unitholder will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Declaration of Trust and any supplement to it as if each of them were a party to this Declaration of Trust.

2.6: Legal Character of the Trust

The Trust will, at all times, be an open-end "unit trust" within the meaning of the Tax Act and the Trust Assets will be segregated and not commingled with the money and investments of any other Person. The Trust will be governed by this Declaration of Trust which will form the constating document of the Trust. The relationship of the Unitholders to each other, to the Trustee and to Trust Assets will be solely the relationship that arises from their capacity as beneficiaries of a trust in accordance with the rights conferred on the Unitholders under this Declaration of Trust. For greater certainty, the relationship of the Trustee to any Unitholder and the relationship of one Unitholder to another is not and will not be treated as that of principal and agent, partners or joint venturers or as members of a society, association, limited partnership or corporation or that of shareholders of a corporation or other joint stock company, but will be that which arises from the trust relationship as provided for in this Declaration of Trust with each Unitholder being a beneficiary of the Trust with no relationship, contractual or otherwise, to any other Unitholder except that which arises from their capacities as beneficiaries under a trust. For greater certainty, the Trustee will not be nor be deemed to be the agent of the Unitholders. The beneficial interest of a Unitholder in the Trust will be limited to the right to participate to the extent of the Unitholder's entitlement (if any) to distributions as provided for in this Declaration of Trust (including the proceeds of liquidation of Trust Assets on termination of the Trust) and to exercise any rights conferred on the Unitholders by this Declaration of Trust. No Unitholder will have or be deemed to have legal title or ownership in any property of the Trust.

2.7: Limitation on Authority of Unitholders

No Unitholder, in the capacity of a Unitholder, may take part in the control or the affairs and business of the Trust nor will any Unitholder in that capacity have any power to sign for or bind the Trust. The rights of the Unitholders will be limited to the right to receive distributions (if any) as provided for in this Declaration of Trust and the right to attend meetings and vote, sign resolutions and give directions to the Trustee, all as provided in this Declaration of Trust.

ARTICLE 3

DESCRIPTION, CREATION AND ISSUE OF UNITS

3.1: Description and Creation of Units

The beneficial interest in the Trust will be divided into an unlimited number of units designated as "Voting Trust Units" (referred to herein as the "Units"), each with a face amount and issue price of U.S.$1,000. The Trustee may authorize the issuance of Units on such terms as the Trustee may determine. All Units will be identical in all respects except for the date of issue. All Units created and issued by the Trustee under this Declaration of Trust will in all respects be entitled, equally and rateably with all other Units, to the benefits of this Declaration of Trust and any related instrument supplemental to this Declaration of Trust without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of creation and delivery, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Declaration of Trust and any related instrument supplemental to this Declaration of Trust.

3.2: Units are Personal Property

The Units will be personal property and moveable property for all purposes of the Trust.

3.3: Rights Attaching to Units

The rights attaching to all Units are as set out in this Declaration of Trust.

3.4: Fractional Units

Units may not be issued in fractions.

3.5: Issue of Units

The Trustee may allot and issue Units at such time or times and in such manner and for such consideration, whether in cash or in kind or fully paid or partially paid, and to such Persons as the Trustee may determine, provided that any such Person is a "taxable Canadian corporation" as defined in subsections 89(1) and 248(1) of the Tax Act and such Person is required to notify the Trustee of any change in such status. Each Unit will be deemed to be outstanding when the subscription price, or if any Unit is issued as partially paid, when the initial subscription price, for the Unit has been received, whether in cash or in kind, in accordance with the agreement between the Trust and the Holder of such Units pursuant to which the Units are issued or sold. Subscriptions for Units must be in writing and may be contained in such underwriting, agency, subscription or other agreement as the Trust may determine from time to time.

3.6: Right to Reject Subscriptions

The Trust, at its sole discretion, will be entitled to accept or reject subscriptions for purchases of Units at any time in whole or in part.

3.7: Priorities

No Unit will have any preference, conversion, exchange or pre-emptive right over any other Unit.

3.8: Subdivision or Consolidation

The Units may be consolidated or subdivided in such manner and at such time or times as the Trust may determine, but no such consolidation or subdivision may increase or reduce the proportionate interest of any Unitholder in the Trust Assets or in the Net Distributable Funds or the voting rights (if any) of any Unitholder relative to those of any other Unitholder.

3.9: Voting

The Units will be voting in all circumstances.

3.10: Certificates for Units and Registrar

The Units will be issued as Definitive Units. The form of certificate evidencing the Units will be substantially in the form of Schedule A or in such form as the Trustee or the Administrative Agent may approve from time to time. The Trustee may act as registrar for the Units or may delegate such duties to the Administrative Agent or another Person.

3.11: Person Entitled

The Person registered as a Unitholder on a register kept by or on behalf of the Trust will be treated as the Holder and owner of such Unit for all purposes, including payment of any distribution and delivery of property, giving notice to Unitholders and determining the right to attend and vote at meetings of Unitholders.

3.12: Successors of Unitholders

Any Person becoming entitled to any Units as a consequence of the death, bankruptcy or incompetence of any Unitholder or otherwise by operation of law, will be entitled to be registered as the Holder of such Units on production of evidence of such entitlement satisfactory to the Trustee and, if the Trustee so requests, an opinion of legal counsel satisfactory to the Trustee that such registration will not violate any applicable securities or other laws. Until such Person is registered as the Unitholder, the Unitholder of record will continue to be and be deemed to be the Holder of such Units for all purposes of this Declaration of Trust whether or not the Trustee has actual or other notice of such death, bankruptcy, incompetence or other event.

3.13: Units Held Jointly or in a Fiduciary Capacity

Two or more Persons holding any Units as joint owners of the entire interest in those Units may be treated as joint owners of those Units unless their ownership is expressly recorded otherwise on the register of units, but no entry will be made in the register or on any certificate that any Person is entitled in any other manner to any future, limited or contingent interest in any Units; however, any Person recorded as a Unitholder may be described in the register or on any certificate, subject to the provisions of this Article, as a fiduciary of any kind and any customary words may be added to the description of the Holder to identify the nature of such fiduciary relationship.

3.14: Performance of Trust

The Trustee, the Unitholders and any of their respective directors, officers or agents will not be bound to see to the performance of any trust, express, implied or constructive, or of any charge, pledge, security interest, or equity to which any of the Units or any interest in the Units is or may be subject, or to ascertain or enquire whether any sale or transfer of any Units or interest in the Units by any Unitholder or by his or her personal representatives is authorized by such trust, charge, pledge, security interest, or equity, or to recognize any Person as having any interest in the Units except for the Person recorded as the Unitholder.

3.15: Lost Certificates

If any certificate for Units is lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Trustee may authorize the issuance of a new certificate for the same number of Units in lieu of the certificate lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. The Trustee, in its discretion, before the issuance of such new certificate, may require the owner of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate or the legal representative of the owner to provide an affidavit or statutory declaration setting out such facts as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation as the Trustee may require. It may also require the applicant, at the expense of the applicant, to supply to the Trust a "lost certificate bond" or a similar bond in an amount and form satisfactory to the Trustee, in its discretion, and in accordance with standard industry practice as the Trustee may direct indemnifying the Trust, the Trustee and their respective agents for so doing. The Trustee will have the power, but will not be obligated, to require from an insurer a blanket lost security bond or bonds in respect of the replacement of lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificates. The Trustee will pay all premiums and other amounts payable for such purpose out of the Trust Assets with such contribution (if any) by those insured as the Trustee may determine. If a blanket lost security bond is required, the Trustee may authorize and direct (on such terms and conditions as the Trustee may impose from time to time) any agent to whom the indemnity of such bond extends to take such action to replace any lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate without further action or approval by the Trustee. The applicant shall pay all expenses incidental to the issuance of any such new certificate.

3.16: Death or Insolvency of a Unitholder

The death or insolvency of a Unitholder during the continuance of the Trust will not terminate the Trust or any of the mutual or respective rights and obligations created by or arising under this Declaration of Trust nor give that Unitholder's personal representatives, trustee or liquidator a right to an accounting or to take any action in court or otherwise against other Unitholders or the Trustee or the Trust Assets.

3.17: Unclaimed Interest or Distribution

If the Trustee holds any amount or other distributable property which is unclaimed or which cannot be paid for any reason, including any such amount payable to any of the Unitholders under Article 11, the Trustee will not be under any obligation to invest or reinvest the property, but will be obligated only to hold the property in a current or other non-interest-bearing account pending payment to the Person or Persons entitled to the property. The Trustee, as and when required by law, will pay, and at any time prior to such required time, may pay, all or part of such interest or other distributable amount so held to the public trustee of the Province of Alberta (or other appropriate government official or agency) whose receipt will be a good discharge and release of the Trustee.

3.18: Execution of Units

The Trustee on behalf of the Trust, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, will execute certificates evidencing Units as provided in section 7.20.

ARTICLE 4

MISCELLANEOUS REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE

4.1: Redemption by Trust

Subject to compliance with applicable laws, the Trust, with the prior consent of the Unitholders, may redeem the Units in part at any time at the fair market value, as determined by the Trustee, of each Unit to be redeemed. Subject to compliance with applicable laws, the Trust, with the prior written consent of the Unitholders, may redeem all the Units at any time at the fair market value, as

determined by the Trustee, of each Unit to be redeemed, provided that, at the time of redemption, there are no Trust Notes outstanding and held by any Person other than TCPL or any of its Affiliates.

4.2: Redemption by Unitholders

Subject to compliance with applicable laws, a Unitholder shall be entitled to require the Trust to redeem the Units held by such Unitholder at any time at the fair market value, as determined by the Trustee, of each Unit to be redeemed, provided that if at the time of redemption there are Trust Notes outstanding and held by any Person other than TCPL or any of its Affiliates and such redemption would have resulted in all of the issued Units being redeemed, then a Unitholder will not be entitled to require all of its Units to be redeemed but will be required to retain one Unit.

ARTICLE 5

DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS

5.1: Net Distributable Funds

The Trust will determine an amount in respect of each Distribution Date in a Taxation Year which will be the sum of the Income of the Trust and the non-taxable portion of realized capital gains for such Taxation Year less the amount of tax determined to be payable by the Trust for such Taxation Year on its "non-portfolio earnings" (as defined in the Tax Act), if any.

5.2: Distributions of Net Distributable Funds

On each Distribution Date and to the extent of the Net Distributable Funds determined by the Trust in respect of such Distribution Date, the Net Distributable Funds will be due and payable to the Unitholders on such Distribution Date on a pro rata basis, and shall be paid by the Trust on a pro rata basis to the Unitholders. If a Distribution Date does not fall on a Business Day, then the Net Distributable Funds shall be paid by the Trust on the Business Day immediately following such Distribution Date.

5.3: Computation of Trust Income

Where required under this Declaration of Trust or for the purposes of the Tax Act, the Trust will determine the income of the Trust, including any net taxable capital gains (the "Income of the Trust"), and the non-taxable portion of realized capital gains for each Taxation Year of the Trust in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act (but without regard to paragraph 82(1)(b) and subsection 104(6) of the Tax Act) regarding the calculation of income for the purposes of determining the "taxable income" of the Trust under the Tax Act.

5.4: Tax Liability for Trust

It is intended that all the Income of the Trust and the non-taxable portion of realized capital gains for each Taxation Year be distributed to Unitholders in respect of the Taxation Year so that, but for any tax payable by the Trust on any "non-portfolio earnings" (as defined in the Tax Act), the Trust is not liable for income tax under Part I of the Tax Act for the Taxation Year. To this end, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from time to time in each Taxation Year the Trust will borrow funds under the Credit Agreements, as are necessary to ensure that in such Taxation Year the Trust will have, in aggregate, cash available for distribution at each Distribution Date that equals the Income of the Trust (and the non-taxable portion of realized capital gains) less the amount of any tax determined to be payable by the Trust for such Taxation Year, if any, and cash to pay the amount of such tax, if any. If there is any change in the treatment under the Tax Act of the Income of the Trust for a Taxation Year which would frustrate this intention, then, notwithstanding any provision of this Declaration of Trust, and without notice to or the vote or assent of the Unitholders or any supplement or amendment to this Declaration of Trust, the Trust may alter the method of distribution for the

purpose of minimizing the taxes payable by the Trust and/or the Unitholders, provided that no such alteration is prejudicial to Unitholders.

5.5: Distributions to Unitholders

The Trust will pay the Income of the Trust (including net taxable capital gains) and the related non-taxable portion of realized capital gains (if any) for each Taxation Year, less the amount of tax determined to be payable by the Trust, if any, to the Unitholders, on each Distribution Date, to the same extent, at the same time and in the same manner as, but without duplication of, distributions on the Units payable to such Holders on each Distribution Date in accordance with section 5.2.

5.6: Non-taxable Portion of Capital Gains

For greater certainty, where net taxable capital gains of the Trust for a Taxation Year or part of a Taxation Year become payable by the Trust to Unitholders in the Taxation Year in accordance with section 5.2 or 5.5, the related non-taxable portion of the capital gain will become due and payable to the Unitholders at the same time and manner as such net taxable capital gains or part of such net taxable capital gains.

5.7: Character of Distributions

To the extent permitted under the Tax Act, it is intended that the character of the Income of the Trust be maintained when it is distributed to Unitholders. The Trustee, in its absolute discretion, may designate the proportion of the amounts due and payable to Unitholders which is attributable to net taxable capital gains, dividends, foreign source income or such other source or sources of income as may be received by the Trust and may make such other designations for tax purposes in respect of distributions as the Trustee considers advisable or appropriate.

ARTICLE 6

UNITHOLDERS

6.1: Limitation on Power of Unitholders

Except as otherwise provided in this Declaration of Trust, no Unitholder or Unitholders will be entitled to interfere with or give any direction to the Trustee with respect to the affairs and business of the Trust or in connection with the exercise of any power or authority conferred on the Trustee under this Declaration of Trust, and all such powers and authorities will be exercised by the Trustee or its duly appointed agents or attorneys in its capacity as trustee and in accordance with the standard of care set out in section 7.18.

6.2: Liability of Unitholders

No Unitholder will incur or be subject to any liability in contract or in tort or of any other kind to any Person in connection with the Trust Assets or the obligations or the affairs and business of the Trust or with respect to any act performed by the Trustee or by any other Person pursuant to this Declaration of Trust or with respect to any act or omission of the Trustee or any other Person in the performance or exercise, or purported performance or exercise, of any obligation, power, discretion or authority conferred on the Trustee or such other Person under this Declaration of Trust or with respect to any transaction entered into by the Trustee or by any other Person pursuant to this Declaration of Trust, except in respect of any such act or omission which is taken or omitted to be taken at the direction of such Unitholder as provided in this Declaration of Trust in respect of which the Unitholders have expressly indemnified the Trustee in writing or in respect of which this Declaration of Trust provides for such indemnification of the Trustee by the Unitholders. No Unitholder will be liable to indemnify the Trustee or any other Person with respect to any such liability or liabilities incurred by the Trustee or by any such other Person or with respect to any taxes payable by the Trust or by the Trustee or any other Person on behalf of or in connection with the Trust. To the extent that any such liabilities of Unitholders may arise, they will be enforceable only against, and will be satisfied only out of, the Trust Assets and not out of any of the property of any Unitholder.

6.3: Indemnification of Unitholders

If, contrary to the provisions of section 6.2, any Unitholder is held personally liable as such to any other Person in respect of any debt, liability or obligation incurred by or on behalf of the Trust, or any action taken on behalf of the Trust, such Unitholder will be entitled to indemnity and reimbursement out of the Trust Assets to the full extent of such liability and to the costs of any litigation or other proceedings in which such liability has been determined, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and any amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, but not from any other Unitholder or the property of any other Unitholder or from the Trustee in its personal capacity. The rights accruing to a Unitholder under this section will not exclude any other right to which such Unitholder may be lawfully entitled, nor will anything in this Declaration of Trust restrict the right of the Trustee to indemnify or reimburse a Unitholder out of the Trust Assets in any appropriate situation even though not specifically provided for in this Declaration of Trust but, for greater certainty, the Trustee will not have any liability to reimburse any Unitholder for taxes assessed

against such Unitholder by reason of its ownership of Units, nor any liability for any losses suffered by reason of changes in the market value of investments forming part of the Trust Assets, and any right to indemnity or reimbursement of a Unitholder under this section will be subordinated in all respects to the Trustee's and Administrative Agent's rights of payment, reimbursement and indemnity under sections 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 7.10, 9.3 and 9.5, respectively, and to the liens of the Trustee and Administrative Agent under sections 7.11 and 9.6, respectively.

ARTICLE 7

THE TRUSTEE

7.1: Indefinite Term of Office

The Trustee will hold office until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Trust in accordance with the terms of this Declaration of Trust, or (ii) its resignation or removal and the appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article.

7.2: Resignation

Except as provided in Section 7.23, the Trustee may resign at any time after giving at least 60 days' prior written notice to the Unitholders and the Administrative Agent, but no such resignation will be effective until the appointment of a successor to the Trustee pursuant to section 7.4.

7.3: Removal

The Unitholders may remove the Trustee at any time if (i) the Trustee becomes bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) the assets of the business of the Trustee become liable to seizure or confiscation by any public or governmental authority, (iii) the Trustee ceases to have the qualifications set out in sections 7.5 or 7.28, (iv) the Trustee has a conflict of interest that, in the opinion of the Unitholders, is seriously detrimental to the interests of the Trust and the Unitholders or (v) the Unitholders determine, acting reasonably, that the Trustee is otherwise incapable of performing its responsibilities under this Declaration of Trust. The removal of a Trustee under this section will not be effective until the appointment of a successor pursuant to section 7.4, unless the removal of the Trustee is due to the Trustee ceasing to have the qualifications set out in sections 7.5 or 7.28 in which case the removal of the Trustee shall be automatically effective on the date the Trustee ceases to satisfy any such qualifications and Unitholders shall immediately and in no case later than the next Interest Payment Date appoint a successor Trustee pursuant to section 7.4. No vacancy in the office of Trustee shall operate to annul or terminate this Declaration of Trust or affect the continuity of the Trust.

7.4: Appointment

The Unitholders will appoint a successor to any Trustee who has resigned under section 7.2 or who has been removed under section 7.3. If no successor to a Trustee who has resigned under section 7.2 or who has been removed under section 7.3 has accepted an appointment under this section within 60 days after such notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, the Trustee or the Administrative Agent or any Unitholders, at the expense of the Trust, may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor to the Trustee.

7.5: Qualifications of Trustee

No Person will be eligible to be appointed as a Trustee pursuant to section 7.4, or to continue to act as a Trustee at any time, other than a company incorporated under the laws of Canada or of a province or territory of Canada that, at such time, is resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and is registered or licensed under the laws of Ontario (or the applicable laws of such other province or territory of Canada pursuant to Article 16) to carry on the business of a trust company.

7.6: Remuneration of the Trustee

The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, will be entitled to such fees or other reasonable remuneration from the Trust Assets as is agreed from time to time by TCPL and the Trustee.

7.7: Payment of Remuneration

Any fees or other remuneration payable to the Trustee under section 7.6 will be paid out of the Income of the Trust and, to the extent that the income is insufficient, out of the capital of the Trust Assets.

7.8: Costs and Expenses

On or as soon as practicable after an offering of Trust Notes, the Trust, at its option, will pay out of the subscription proceeds for Units all costs and expenses incurred in respect of the preparation, organization and establishment of the Trust (to the extent not previously paid) and all costs and expenses related to the offering of the Trust Notes (including to the extent that the Trust is liable for them, the costs of creating and organizing the Trust, the costs of printing and preparing any registration statement, prospectus or similar document, legal expenses of the Trust, marketing expenses and other incidental expenses for which the Trust is liable). The Trust may enter into any arrangements in respect of the reimbursement of any such expenses. To the extent that the subscription proceeds for Units are less than any of the Trust's costs and expenses, subject to any such costs and expenses for which the Trust has received reimbursement, the Trust, at its option, will borrow under the Credit Agreements to pay or pay out of other Trust Assets such excess costs and expenses.

7.9: Other Expenses Payable by the Trust

The Trust, at its option, will use the Credit Agreements to pay or pay out of the Trust Assets all administrative and operating expenses of the Trust, including mailing and printing expenses for periodic reports to Unitholders or Noteholders, if applicable, fees payable to the Trustee for acting as trustee of the Trust, fees payable to an Indenture Trustee for performing financial, recordkeeping, Noteholder reporting and general administrative services, fees payable to the auditors, valuators and legal advisors to the Trust, debt service fees (including setup, stand-by and commitment fees), ongoing regulatory filing fees and listing and other fees, any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or its agents in connection with their ongoing obligations to the Trust, and any expenditures that may be incurred on the termination of the Trust.

7.10: Indemnification of Trustee

In connection with the Trustee acting as trustee of the Trust under this Declaration of Trust, and in priority to any rights of the Administrative Agent or the Unitholders, the Trust will indemnify and save harmless the Trustee and its directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents at all times from and against all claims of any kind, including costs (including legal costs on a solicitor and client basis), charges, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, suits, demands, levies, disbursements and expenses in connection therewith, brought, commenced or prosecuted against it for or in respect of any act, deed, matter or thing of any kind made, done, acquiesced in or omitted in or about or in relation to the execution of its duties as Trustee and also from and against all other costs (including legal costs on a solicitor and client basis), charges, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, suits, demands, levies, disbursements and expenses which it sustains or incurs in or about or in relation to the affairs and business of the Trust whether groundless or otherwise, except such as may be incurred as a result of the gross negligence, wilful misconduct, dishonesty or bad faith of the Trustee or breach by it of its standard of care as set out in section 7.18. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Declaration of Trust, this indemnity will survive the removal or resignation of the Trustee, the termination of this Declaration of Trust and the termination of the Trust. Any claim made under this section will be

satisfied only out of the Trust Assets and no Unitholder will be personally liable with respect to any claim for such indemnity or reimbursement.

7.11: Trustee's Lien

The Trustee will have a first charge and lien on the Trust Assets to enforce payment of all amounts to which it is entitled under this Declaration of Trust, including the fees or other remuneration referred to in section 7.6 and the costs and expenses referred to in sections 7.8 and 7.9, and to enforce or satisfy its right to indemnification under section 7.10. Any such amounts will be payable first out of the Income of the Trust and, to the extent the income is insufficient, out of the capital of the Trust.

7.12: Bond Not Required

Unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee will not be required to give any bond, surety or other security in any jurisdiction for the performance of its obligations under this Declaration of Trust.

7.13

Liability of Trustee

(a): The Trustee will not be subject to any liability of any kind, in tort, contract or otherwise, in connection with the Trust Assets or the Trust Activities, to the Unitholders or to any other Person, for any action taken or permitted by it to be taken or for its failure to take any action, including the failure to compel in any way any former or acting Trustee to redress any breach of trust in respect of the execution of the duties of its office or in respect of the Trust Assets or the Trust Activities. This limitation will not apply in respect of any action or failure to act arising from or in connection with the gross negligence, willful misconduct, dishonesty or bad faith of the Trustee or breach by it of its standard of care set out in section 7.18. The Trustee, in doing anything or permitting anything to be done in respect of the execution of the duties of its office or in respect of the Trust Assets or the Trust Activities, is and will be conclusively deemed to be acting as trustee of the Trust and not in any other capacity. Except to the extent provided in this section, the Trustee will not be subject to any liability for any debts, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, judgments, costs, charges or expenses against or with respect to the Trust, arising out of anything done or permitted by it to be done or its failure to take any action in respect of the execution of the duties of its office or for or in respect of the Trust Assets or the Trust Activities, and resort will be had solely to the Trust Assets for the payment or performance thereof. No property or assets of the Trustee, owned in its personal capacity or otherwise, will be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure with regard to any obligation under this Declaration of Trust.
(b): Any written instrument creating an obligation of the Trust or the Trustee, will contain a provision to the effect that the obligations thereunder are not binding upon the Trustee except in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, nor will resort be had to the property of the Trustee except in its capacity as the Trustee, but that the Trust property or a specific portion thereof only will be bound, and may contain any further provisions which the Trustee may deem appropriate, but the omission of any such provisions will not operate to impose liability on the Trustee except as provided above.
(c): The Trustee will not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties under this Declaration of Trust and will only disburse funds to the extent that funds have been deposited with it.
(d): In performing its duties and exercising its powers hereunder, the Trustee may rely and act or not act, and shall be fully protected in relying and acting or not acting, upon (1) any statement, telecopy or other electronic means of communication, writing, notice, resolution, report, opinion or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and (2) any opinion or advice

received or information obtained from auditors, solicitors, or other professional advisers, whether retained by the Trustee or otherwise, and shall not be responsible or held liable for any loss or damage resulting from so relying or acting or not acting. For greater certainty, it shall not be necessary for the Trustee to ascertain whether or not the Persons who have executed, signed or otherwise issued, authenticated or receipted such papers, writings or documents have authority to do so or that they are the same Persons named therein or otherwise to pass upon any requirement of such papers, writing or documents that may be essential for their validity or effectiveness or upon the truth and acceptability.

7.14: Conflict of Interest

Subject to section 7.21 and to the requirement that no information obtained by the Trustee with respect to the Trust and its investments will be disclosed to any Person, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary or expedient for the purpose of the proper administration of the Trust or is otherwise authorized under this Declaration of Trust or required by law, in exercising its responsibilities, powers and authorities under this Declaration of Trust, the Trustee is authorized from time to time in its discretion to appoint, employ or deal with any Person, including itself and any Person with which it may be directly or indirectly affiliated or in which it may be directly or indirectly interested, whether on its own account or for the account of another (in a fiduciary capacity or otherwise) and may purchase, hold, sell, invest in or otherwise deal with securities or other property of the same class and nature as may be held in the Trust Assets, whether on its own account or for the account of another (in a fiduciary capacity or otherwise) and may make investments in the securities or other property of any corporation with which or in which the Trustee may be directly or indirectly associated, affiliated or interested and the Trustee will not be liable to account to the Trust or to any Unitholder with respect to any loss to the Trust or in respect of any profit arising out of, or in connection with, the exercise of any authority conferred on the Trustee in this section.

7.15: Exclusion of Contractual Liability

Any written instrument creating an obligation of the Trustee will be conclusively deemed to have been executed by the Trustee only in its capacity as Trustee. Any written instrument creating an obligation of the Trustee may contain a provision to the effect that the obligations under it are not binding on the Trustee except in its capacity as Trustee, nor will there be any resort to the property of the Trustee except in its capacity as Trustee, but that the Trust Assets or a specific part of them only will be bound, and may contain any further provisions which the Trustee may deem appropriate, but the omission of any such provision will not operate to impose liability on the Trustee except as previously set out.

This Declaration of Trust will be deemed and construed for all purposes as if made by the Trustee in and only in its capacity as trustee of the Trust. Subject to the exceptions set out in this Declaration of Trust: (i) any liability, debt or obligation of the Trustee under this Declaration of Trust is non-recourse to the Trustee in its personal capacity and limited solely to the Trust Assets; (ii) no other property or assets of the Trustee, whether owned by it in its personal capacity or otherwise, will be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure with regard to any obligation under this Declaration of Trust; and (iii) no recourse may be had or taken, directly or indirectly, against the Trustee in its personal capacity or against any incorporator, shareholder, director, officer, representative, employee, agent or advisor of the Trustee or any predecessor or successor of the Trustee.

7.16: Reliance on Advice

The Trustee may rely and act on any statement, report or opinion prepared by or any advice received from the Administrative Agent, auditors, counsel or other professional advisors of the Trust or independent auditors, counsel or professional advisors or experts retained by the Trustee or the

Administrative Agent in respect of its duties under the Trust and will not be responsible or held liable for any misconduct on the part of any of them or for any loss resulting from so relying or acting if the Trustee acted reasonably in relying on that statement, report or opinion and if the professional advisor was aware that the Trustee was receiving and relying on the advice in its capacity as Trustee. Such auditors, counsel or professional advisors or experts of the Trust may be such Persons as are retained by the Trustee, or by the Administrative Agent. The Trustee is entitled to rely and act on the genuineness and authenticity of any document in writing submitted to it that it in good faith believes to be genuine.

7.17: Trustee to Act as Trustee

In the exercise or purported exercise of any of its powers under this Declaration of Trust and in the performance or purported performance of any of the obligations imposed on, or undertaken by, the Trustee under this Declaration of Trust, the Trustee will act as trustee and will not be the agent of all or any of the Unitholders or of any other Person.

7.18: Trustee's Standard of Care

The Trustee will exercise its powers and carry out its obligations under this Declaration of Trust as Trustee honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Trust and the Unitholders and in connection therewith will exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonable and prudent trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances. To the extent that the Trustee has delegated or subcontracted the performance of all or a part of its duties to the Administrative Agent under the Administration Agreement as contemplated by section 8.1, it will be deemed to have satisfied this standard of care. Unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee will not be required to give a bond, surety or security in any jurisdiction for the performance of any duties or obligations under this Declaration of Trust. The Trustee will not be required to devote its entire time to the Trust Activities. For greater certainty, the entering into of the agreements referred to in section 10.2 by the Trust and the performance by the Trust of its obligations under this Declaration of Trust and the agreements referred to in section 10.2 will be deemed to be in the best interests of the Trust and the Unitholders.

7.19: Apparent Authority

No Person dealing with the Trustee or with any officer, employee, representative or agent of the Trustee will be bound to make any enquiry concerning the validity of any transaction purporting to be made by the Trustee or by such officer, employee, representative or agent or make enquiry concerning, or be liable for, the application of money or property paid, loaned or delivered to or on the order of the Trustee or of such officer, employee, representative or agent. Any Person dealing with the Trustee in respect of any matter pertaining to the Trust Assets and any right, title or interest in the Trust Assets will be entitled to rely on a certificate, statutory declaration or resolution executed or certified on behalf of the Trustee as to the capacity, power and authority of any officer, employee, representative, agent or any other Person to act for and on behalf and in the name of the Trust.

7.20: Executing Agreements

The Trustee, by specific or general resolution, may appoint or authorize from time to time any one or more officers of the Trustee to sign on behalf of the Trust contracts, documents, certificates (including for Units), prospectuses, registration statements or other written instruments. Any signature of the Trustee, or officer authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee, may be mechanically reproduced on all contracts, certificates, documents or instruments in writing or Units or other securities of the Trust executed or issued on behalf of the Trust. All contracts, certificates, documents or instruments in writing or Units or other securities of the Trust on which the signature of any of the Trustee or officers are so reproduced will be as valid as if they had been manually signed, even though the Trustee or officers whose signatures are reproduced may have ceased to hold such office at the date of delivery or

issue of the contracts, certificates, documents or instruments in writing or Units or other securities of the Trust. This section will apply with necessary modification to the Administrative Agent.

7.21: Confidentiality

While it is trustee under this Declaration of Trust and at any time after the Trustee resigns or is removed as trustee under this Declaration of Trust, the Trustee will treat as confidential all information obtained by it in its capacity as Trustee relating to the Trust, the Trust Activities and the activities or transactions contemplated or evidenced by the agreements, instruments and other documents referred to in section 10.2. If the Trustee receives a request or is or believes it is required by law, regulatory requirement or court order to disclose all or any part of such confidential information, the Trustee shall (a) immediately notify the Administrative Agent and TCPL of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding the request or requirement, (b) consult with the Administrative Agent and TCPL on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow the request or lawfully avoid the requirement, and (c) assist the Administrative Agent and TCPL, if requested, to take steps to contest such a request or requirement or seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If a request or requirement is not successfully contested, or a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Trustee may disclose to the Person requiring disclosure only that portion of the confidential information which the Trustee is advised by written opinion of counsel is legally required to be disclosed.

7.22: Third Party Interests

Any account to be opened by, or interest to be held by, the Trustee in connection with this Declaration of Trust, is not intended to be used by or on behalf of any non-specified third party or beneficiary who is not known to the Trustee.

7.23: Right Not to Act

The Trustee shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Trustee, in its sole judgment, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Trustee, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on ten days written notice to the Unitholders and the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) the Trustee's written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; (b) if such circumstances are rectified to the Trustee's satisfaction within such ten day period, then such resignation shall not be effective, and (c) no such resignation will be effective until the appointment of a successor to the Trustee pursuant to section 7.4.

7.24: Merger, Consolidation and Amalgamation

Any company into which the Trustee may be merged, consolidated or amalgamated, or any company resulting from any merger, consolidation or amalgamation to which the Trustee is a party, or any company to which all or substantially all of its corporate trust business has been transferred, provided that the company resulting or continuing from such merger, consolidation or amalgamation or the transferee of the corporate trust business is a company incorporated under the laws of Canada or of a province or territory of Canada that is resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and is registered or licensed under the laws of Ontario to carry on the business of a trust company, will automatically become a successor trustee under this Declaration of Trust without any further act or formality.

7.25: Vesting in Successor Trustee

Any successor trustee will become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, responsibilities and trusts of its predecessors in the trusts under this Declaration of Trust as if it had

been originally named as Trustee under this Declaration of Trust. On written request of the successor trustee and payment of all fees and expenses owing to the current trustee, the trustee ceasing to act will do, make, execute, deliver or cause to be done, made, executed or delivered all such acts, documents, deeds or other instruments and things as may be necessary or desirable in order to more effectually assign, transfer and deliver to, and vest in, the successor trustee, all the rights, powers and trusts of, and all property and money held by, the trustee so ceasing to act. The expense of any act, document, deed or other instrument or thing required under this section will be satisfied from the Trust Assets.

7.26: Records to be Kept

The Trustee will keep or cause to be kept at the situs of administration of the Trust or at such other place designated by it, proper records and books of account as required by law or good business practice. Such books or records will be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent upon reasonable notice during the normal business hours of the Trustee.

7.27: Method of Keeping Records

Where this Declaration of Trust requires the Trustee to cause a record to be kept, it may be kept in written form or by means of a mechanical, electronic or other device.

7.28: Performance in Canada

The Trustee is and will continue at all times to be a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and will carry out its functions of managing the Trust in Canada and will exercise the main powers and discretions in respect of its duties as trustee of the Trust in Canada.

ARTICLE 8

DELEGATION

8.1: Delegation and Appointment of Administrative Agent

The Trustee will have full power and authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to appoint an administrative agent of and an advisor to (who may be the same Person) the Trust and to delegate all or any of the Trustee's responsibilities, powers, discretions and authorities under this Declaration of Trust. Pursuant to this power and authority, the Trustee hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and delegates to the Administrative Agent such of the responsibilities, powers, discretions and authorities imposed or conferred on the Trustee under this Declaration of Trust as are set out in the Administration Agreement. Subject to the Administration Agreement, the Administrative Agent will have full power and authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to appoint third parties and to delegate all or any of its responsibilities, powers, discretions and authorities to third parties, at no additional cost to the Trust, where, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, it would be in the best interest of the Trust to do so provided that the Administrative Agent will remain responsible. The appointment of any Administrative Agent by the Trustee will not require the approval of or ratification by the Unitholders or any other Person.

8.2: Relationship between Trustee, Administrative Agent and Unitholders

The relationship between the Trustee and the Unitholders will be solely that which is set out in section 2.6. The Administrative Agent will be, and will act as, the agent of the Trustee for all purposes set out in the Administration Agreement. In the performance of their respective responsibilities, obligations, powers, discretions and authorities, neither the Trustee nor the Administrative Agent will be, nor will act as, the agent of the Unitholders or any of them. The relationship of the Unitholders among themselves will not be that of partners, joint venturers or members of a society, company or association.

ARTICLE 9

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1: Term of Administration Agreement

The Administration Agreement has an initial term of 10 years and will be automatically renewed each year afterwards subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Trustee set forth therein.

9.2: Appointment of Successor to Administrative Agent

If the Administrative Agent is removed pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Trustee will promptly appoint a successor administrative agent that is a resident of Canada under the Tax Act to carry out the activities of the Administrative Agent. No such removal will become effective until a successor Administrative Agent has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Administration Agreement.

9.3: Payment of Remuneration and Expenses

The fees and remuneration payable to the Administrative Agent with respect to the administration of the Trust, and the amounts for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to be reimbursed or indemnified, will be as set out in the Administration Agreement.

9.4: Limitation of Liability

The Administrative Agent, its directors, officers, agents, representatives and employees will not be liable to the Trust or to any Unitholder for any insufficiency of income from, or any depreciation in the value of, any investments in or on which any of the money of or belonging to the Trust is invested, or by virtue of the acquisition, retention or disposition of any such investments, or for any loss or damage arising out of the act or omission of any Person with or by whom or in whose name any such investments are deposited or held, or for any loss or damage occasioned by any error in judgment on the part of the Administrative Agent with respect to such investments, or for any other loss or damage to the Trust Assets which may occur during, or in the course of, the performance of its obligations, responsibilities, powers, discretions or authorities under this Declaration of Trust or the Administration Agreement with respect to such investments, unless the particular loss, damage or expense is attributable to the gross negligence, wilful misconduct, dishonesty, bad faith or fraud of the Administrative Agent in the performance of such obligations, responsibilities, powers, discretions or authorities under this Declaration of Trust or the Administration Agreement or to the Administrative Agent's failure to perform such obligations, responsibilities, powers, discretions or authorities. In performing all other obligations, responsibilities, powers, discretions or authorities under this Declaration of Trust and the Administration Agreement, the Administrative Agent will act in accordance with the standard of care set out in section 2.16 of the Administration Agreement.

9.5

Indemnification of Administrative Agent

acceptable manner will satisfy and discharge all liability of the Trustee and the Trust for the amount so required to be paid (plus any tax required to be deducted or withheld) unless the cheque or bank draft is not paid in full on presentation at Calgary, Alberta or at any other place where by its terms it is payable. If any such cheque or bank draft is not received by the Person to whom it was mailed, the Trustee, on proof of non-receipt and on satisfactory indemnity being given to it and to the Trust, will issue to the Person a replacement cheque or bank draft for a like amount.

11.3: Receipt by Unitholder

The receipt by the Unitholder of any payment mailed or paid in another acceptable manner in accordance with section 11.1, or withholding and remittance of amounts in accordance with section 11.2, will be a valid and binding discharge to the Trust and to the Trustee for any payment made in respect of the Units of which such Person is the Holder and if several Persons are registered as joint Unitholders or, in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Unitholder, one or several Persons are entitled so to be registered, receipt of payment by any one of them will be a valid and binding discharge to the Trust and to the Trustee for any such payment.

If any Trust Notes are outstanding and not held by any Person other than TCPL or any of its Affiliates, or if no Trust Notes are outstanding, with the approval of the Unitholders, the Trustee on a

date specified by it (the "Termination Date") may terminate the Trust. The Trustee may not terminate the Trust if any Trust Notes are outstanding and held by any Person other than TCPL or any of its Affiliates. No approval of the Unitholders to the termination will be effective unless TCPL has satisfied the Trustee that the Trust has sufficient funds to pay to holders of Trust Notes the redemption price thereof and other amounts owing thereunder.

14.2: Procedure on Termination

The Trust will give notice, either before or after the Termination Date, of the winding-up of the affairs and business of the Trust and such notice will designate the time or times on which Unitholders may surrender their Units for cancellation and the date at which the register of Units will be closed.

14.3: Provisions of the Trustee on Termination

After the Termination Date, the Trustee will not carry on any activities in relation to the Trust except for the purpose of winding-up the affairs and business of the Trust and, for this purpose, the Trustee will continue to be vested with and may exercise all or any of the powers conferred on the Trustee under this Declaration of Trust.

14.4: Distribution of Trust Assets

After paying, retiring or discharging or making provision for the payment, retirement or discharge of all known liabilities and obligations of the Trust, including the indebtedness and obligations of the Trust under the Trust Notes, any Trust Indenture and the Credit Agreements and any liability owed to the Trustee under this Declaration of Trust or to the Administrative Agent under the Administration Agreement, and providing for indemnity against any other outstanding liabilities and obligations, the Trustee will distribute the net Trust Assets to Unitholders, in the manner described in section 14.5. The Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine the manner in which distributions will be made, including the time or times of any distribution and whether it is made in cash or in kind or partly in both. In the case of the final distribution of Trust Assets, Unitholders must surrender certificates representing their Units and will not be entitled to any final distribution except against delivery to the Trustee of such certificates and such form of releases as the Trustee, in its absolute discretion, may require. After all liabilities and obligations of the Trust have been paid, retired, discharged or satisfied to the satisfaction of the Trustee in its sole discretion, the Trust will be deemed to be terminated.

Unitholders will rank pari passu in the distribution of the property of the Trust after the discharge of claims of creditors (if any) in the event of the termination of the Trust.

14.6: Determination of Value

In addition to the powers of the Trustee specified in section 10.2, the value of the net Trust Assets for the purpose of any distribution to Unitholders on the termination of the Trust will be the fair value of those Trust Assets as determined in such manner as the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine. In so doing, the Trustee will be entitled to rely on the valuations, fairness opinions, price quotations or other similar professional opinions as to fair value, of the Administrative Agent or any other Person selected by the Trustee.

14.7: Further Notice to Unitholders

If all Unitholders do not surrender their Units for cancellation after the time specified in the notice referred to in section 14.2, the Trust will give further notice to the remaining Unitholders to surrender their Units for cancellation and, if within 30 days after the further notice all the Units have not been surrendered for cancellation, such remaining Units will be deemed to be cancelled without prejudice to the rights of the Holders of such Units to receive their entitlement to the amounts referred to in section 14.4 and the Trust may either take appropriate steps, or appoint an agent to take

appropriate steps, to contact such Unitholders (deducting all expenses incurred from the amounts to which such Unitholders are entitled) or, in the discretion of the Trustee, may pay such amounts into court.

14.8: Responsibility of Trustee During Winding-Up

The Trust will be under no obligation to invest the proceeds of any sale of investments or other assets or cash forming part of the Trust Assets after the date of notice referred to in section 14.2 and, after such sale, the sole obligation of the Trustee under this Declaration of Trust will be to hold such proceeds in trust for distribution under section 14.4.

As from the date of such declaration, the law of the province will be the law applicable to the Trust and the courts of that province will be the forum for the administration of the Trust but subject to the powers conferred by this section and until any further declaration is made under this section. The Trustee will not exercise its right under this section without first taking advice as to the implications associated with the exercise of this right, including any tax implications.
