As provided for in the Indenture, the Company may, subject to certain limitations, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders, create and issue Additional Securities so that such Additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities initially issued by the Company and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as Securities originally issued.  Any Additional Securities shall be issued with the benefit of any indenture supplemental to the Indenture.
 
The Company will pay to the Holders such Additional Amounts as may become payable under Section 1019 of the Indenture.
 
As provided in the Indenture, the Securities will initially be secured by the pledge to the Trustee pursuant to the Pledge Agreement of the Trust Bond issued by the Company under the Deed of Trust.  Each Holder by accepting a Security shall be bound by and be entitled to the benefits of the Deed of Trust and the other Collateral Documents, as the same may be amended from time to time pursuant to the respective provisions thereof and of the Indenture.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default resulting from a Change in Control Triggering Event which is cured by the making and consummation of a Change in Control Offer) shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
 
In addition, it shall be an Event of Default under the Indenture if a Change in Control Triggering Event occurs on or prior to the Maturity of the Securities.  The Securities may be accelerated following such an Event of Default as provided in the Indenture unless the Company (or a third party) offers, within 20 Business Days after the occurrence of such Event of Default, to purchase the Securities and purchases the Securities for the Change in Control Purchase Price in cash on the date that is 40 Business Days after the occurrence of the Change in Control Triggering Event from a Holder who delivers and does not withdraw a Change in Control Purchase Notice.  Holders have the right to withdraw any Change in Control Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

The Company shall cause to be kept at one of its offices or agencies maintained pursuant to Section 1002 a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities.  Said office or agency is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.
 
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.
 
Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.
 
At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.  Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange (including an exchange of Initial Securities for Exchange Securities), the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the replacement Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive; provided that no exchange of Initial Securities for Exchange Securities shall occur until an Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission and the Initial Securities to be exchanged for the Exchange Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee.
 
 
41
 
 
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
 
Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, or for exchange or redemption, shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.
 
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 303, 304, 516, 908, 1015, 1108 or 1111 not involving any transfer or pursuant to an Exchange Offer.
 
The Company shall not be required (a) to issue replacement Securities or register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities under Section 1105 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part.
 
Section 306.  Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities.
 
(a)     The Global Securities initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 202.
 
The Depositary or its nominee shall be the Holder of the Global Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in the Securities represented by the Global Securities shall hold such interests pursuant to the procedures and practices of the Depositary.  Any such owner’s beneficial ownership of any such Securities will be shown only on, and the transfer of such ownership interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee.  Investors in the Regulation S Global Security may hold their interests in the Regulation S Global Security through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems.  After the expiration of the Restricted Period (but not earlier), investors in the Regulation S Global Security may also hold such interests through organizations other than Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg that are participants in the Depositary’s system.  Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will hold interests in the Regulation S Global Security on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories, which, in turn, will hold such interests in the Regulation S Global Security in customer’s securities accounts in the depositories’ names on the books of the Depositary.  All interests in a Global Security, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of the Depositary.  Those interests held through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems.  As used herein, the term `”Restricted Period” means the period of 40 consecutive days beginning on and including the first day after the later of (i) the day that Salomon Smith Barney Inc.  advises the Company and the Trustee in writing of the day on which the Securities are first offered to persons other than distributors (as defined in Regulation S) and (ii) the original issue date of the Securities.
 
 
42
 
 
(b)         Transfers of any Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees.  Interests of beneficial owners in any Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 307.  Unless (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Securities or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause the exchange of the Global Securities for Securities in certificated form, (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Global Security or (iv) in the case of a Global Security held for the account of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, is closed for business for 14 continuous Business Days or announces an intention to cease or permanently ceases business, owners of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security will not be entitled to have any portions of such Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the Global Security.
 
(c)         Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (b) of this Section shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder.  Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar.  With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee.  Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee, upon Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.  In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in the last sentence of subsection (b) of this Section 306, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Securities in definitive form.
 
 
43
 
 
(d)    Except as otherwise set forth in this Indenture or a Global Security, owners of beneficial interests in the Securities evidenced by a Global Security will not be entitled to any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and the Depositary or its nominee may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any such agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or its nominee or impair, as between the Depositary or its nominee and such owners of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary or its nominee as Holder of any Security.

(c)         Restricted Global Security to Regulation S Global Security After TwoYears.  If the holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security wishes at any time after May 2, 2003 to (A) transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security or (B) to exchange such interest for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security, such transfer or exchange may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures, only in accordance with this Section 307(c).  Upon receipt by the Trustee of (1) in the case of a transfer or exchange of an interest in the Restricted Global Security, written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing the Trustee to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security to be so transferred or exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary (and, if applicable, the Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg account, as the case may be) to be credited with such beneficial interest and (3) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest, the Trustee, as Registrar, shall instruct the Depositary to reduce the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security, and to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security, by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security to be so transferred or exchanged, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security was reduced upon such transfer or exchange.

“Qualifying Trust” means a trust (whether testamentary or inter vivos) any beneficiary of which is a person referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of “Member of the Rogers Family” or the spouse, widow or widower, for the time being and from time to time, of any person described in subclause (ii)(c), (d) or (e) of the definition of “Member of the Rogers Family” (provided that such spouse, widow or widower is living at the date of this Indenture or is born after the date of this Indenture and before the Perpetuity Date) (all such persons being hereafter referred to as “Qualified Persons”).
 
“Family Percentage Holding” means the aggregate percentage of the securities held by a Qualifying Trust representing, directly or indirectly, an interest in voting securities or rights to control or direct the voting securities of the Company, that it is reasonable, under all the circumstances, to regard as being held beneficially for Qualified Persons (or any class consisting of two or more Qualified Persons); provided always that in calculating the Family Percentage Holding (A) in respect of any power of appointment or discretionary trust capable of being exercised in favor of any of the Qualified Persons such trust or power shall be deemed to have been exercised in favor of Qualified Persons until such trust or power has been otherwise exercised; (B) where any beneficiary of a Qualifying Trust has assigned, transferred or conveyed, in any manner whatsoever, his or her beneficial interest to another person, then, for the purpose of determining the Family Percentage Holding in respect of such Qualifying Trust, the person to whom such interest has been assigned, transferred or conveyed shall be regarded as the only person beneficially interested in the Qualifying Trust in respect of such interest but in the case where the interest is so assigned, transferred or conveyed is an interest in a discretionary trust or is an interest which may arise as a result of the exercise in favor of the assignor of a discretionary power of appointment and such discretionary trust or power of appointment is also capable of being exercised in favor of persons described in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of “Member of the Rogers Family”, such discretionary trust or power shall be deemed to have been so exercised in favor of Qualified Persons until it has in fact been exercised; and (C) the interest of any Permitted Residuary Beneficiary shall be ignored until its interest has indefeasibly vested.

Section 502.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
 
If (i) an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(f), 501(g), 501(h) or 501(k)) occurs and is continuing, or (ii) an Event of Default specified in Section 501(k) occurs and is continuing and the Company (or a third party) fails in any material respect to comply with any of the provisions of Section 516, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal shall become immediately due and payable.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(f), 501(g) or 501(h) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.  The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 10 days after the occurrence thereof, notice of any acceleration or default in payment at maturity of Debt referred to in Section 501(d).
 
At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
 
 
57
 
 
(a)           the Company has paid or deposited, or caused to be paid or deposited, with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
 
(1)           all overdue interest on all Securities,
 
(2)           the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities,
 
(3)           to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Securities, and
 
(4)           all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder, the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 607; and
 
(b)           all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.
 
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Securities because an Event of Default specified in Section 501(d) shall have occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the Debt that is the subject of such Event of Default has been discharged or the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Debt, and written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company and countersigned by the holders of such Debt or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Securities, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30-day period which has not been cured or waived during such period.
 
Section 503.  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
 
The Company covenants that if:
 
(a)           default is made in the payment of any interest or Additional Amounts on any Security when such interest or Additional Amounts becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
 
(b)           default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,
 
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate borne by the Securities; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
 
 
58
 
 
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.
 
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion (i) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture and the Pledge Agreement by such appropriate private or judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights, including, without limitation, demanding payment of the Trust Bond and exercising any rights or powers conferred on the Trustee, as the holder of the Trust Bond, under the Pledge Agreement and the Deed of Trust, or (ii) make requests of, give directions to, or make demands of, the Deed Trustee (whether by the giving of a Bondholders’ Direction, participation in the giving or adoption of a Bondholders’ Resolution or otherwise pursuant to the Collateral Documents) to proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Deed Trustee, the Trustee and the Deed of Trust Bondholders under the Collateral Documents by such appropriate private or judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in the Collateral Documents or in aid of the exercise of any power granted therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, including appointment of a receiver for the Deed of Trust Collateral and foreclosure, realization and sale of Deed of Trust Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents.  The Trustee shall be entitled to sue and recover judgment as aforesaid or make request as aforesaid to the Deed Trustee to sue to enforce any Lien of the Collateral Documents, in either case, either before, after or during the pendency of any other proceeding for the enforcement of any Lien of the Collateral Documents, and the right of the Trustee or the Deed Trustee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any sale under any of the Collateral Documents or by the exercise of any right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of any of the Collateral Documents, or the foreclosure or enforcement of any Lien of the Collateral Documents.  No recovery of any such judgment upon any property of the Company shall affect or impair the Lien on the Deed of Trust Collateral or any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders.
 
Section 504.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
 
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
 
 
59
 
 
(a)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 607) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
 
(b)           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 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 the Holders, to pay 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 to the Trustee under Section 607.
 
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any proposal, plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition or other similar arrangement affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
 
Section 505.  Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.
 
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 607, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
 
Section 506.  Application of Money Collected.
 
Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

Section 1003.  Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust.
 
If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
 
Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day funds (or New York Clearing House funds if such deposit is made prior to the date on which such deposit is required to be made) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act.
 
 
81
 
 
The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

(v)    pay or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to pay any amount of Management Fees (including Deferred Management Fees) designated by the Company as a Restricted Payment
 
(each of the foregoing actions set forth in clauses (i) through (v), other than any such action that is a Permitted Distribution, being referred to as a “Restricted Payment”) unless:
 
(a)           at the time of such Restricted Payment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or shall occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment,

(xv)           licenses, easements, rights-of-way and rights in the nature of easements (including, without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, licenses, easements, rights-of-way and rights in the nature of easements for sidewalks, public ways, sewers, drains, gas, steam and water mains or electric light and power, or telephone and telegraph conduits, poles, wires and cable) which will not in the aggregate materially and adversely impair the use of the subject property or in respect to which the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, has made satisfactory arrangements for relocation so that such use will not in the aggregate be materially and adversely impaired;
 
(xvi)           zoning and building by-laws and ordinances, municipal by-laws and regulations, and restrictive covenants which do not materially interfere with the use of the subject property;
 
(xvii)          title defects or irregularities which are of a minor nature and which in the aggregate will not materially affect the Deed of Trust Collateral granted to the Deed Trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust or materially impair the use of the subject property for the purpose for which it is held by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be;
 
(xviii)         any other Lien existing on the date of this Indenture; and
 
(xix)            Liens, other than Liens incurred pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) to (xviii), securing or otherwise in respect of up to Cdn$20,000,000 aggregate amount of obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary at any time outstanding.
 
To the extent that any Lien qualifies or may be considered under more than one of the foregoing clauses (i) through (xviii) (or any subclause therein), it shall be deemed to constitute a Lien permitted under this Section 1011 pursuant to the clause (or subclause) designated from time to time by the Company, which designation need not be in writing.
 
Section 1012.  Limitation on Management Fees.
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any payment in respect of Management Fees (including Deferred Management Fees but excluding Management Fees treated as a Restricted Payment in compliance with the provisions of Section 1009) unless, immediately before and after giving effect thereto:
 
 
89
 
 
(a)           no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
 
(b)           the Company could have incurred at least Cdn$1.00 of additional Debt in accordance with the provisions of Section 1007; and
 
(c)           the sum of the amount of such payment and the amount of all other payments made in respect of Management Fees (including Deferred Management Fees but excluding Management Fees treated as a Restricted Payment in compliance with the provisions of Section 1009) on or after April 1, 1996 would not exceed an amount equal to 2% of Consolidated Gross Revenues for the period (taken as one accounting period) from April 1, 1996 to the date of such proposed payment.
 
For the purpose of this Section 1012, “Consolidated Gross Revenues” means the gross revenues of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries determined on a Consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; provided that (i) any portion of gross revenues derived directly or indirectly from Excluded Assets or from Unrestricted Subsidiaries, including dividends or distributions from Unrestricted Subsidiaries, shall be excluded from such calculation and (ii) any portion of gross revenues derived directly or indirectly from a Person (other than a Subsidiary) accounted for by the equity method of accounting shall be included in such calculation only to the extent of the amount of dividends or distributions actually paid to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary by such Person.
 
Section 1013.  Transactions with Affiliates.
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) or series of related transactions with any Affiliate of the Company on terms that are less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those which might be obtained at the time of such transaction or series of related transactions from a Person who is not such an Affiliate; provided, however, that this Section 1013 shall not limit, or be applicable to, (i) any transaction or series of related transactions between the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions involving an aggregate consideration of less than Cdn$5,000,000, (iii) any Permitted Distribution or Permitted Restricted Payment or any other Restricted Payment made in compliance with Section 1009 hereof, (iv) any payment in respect of Management Fees made in compliance with Section 1012 hereof, (v) the Management Services Agreement dated as of January 1, 1991 between RCI, Rogers Cantel Mobile Communications Inc.  and the Company and the Master Transmission Services Agreement dated as of September 1, 1988 between Rogers Cablesystems Limited and Rogers Cantel Mobile Communications Inc.  or (vi) certain existing inter-company agreements and cost sharing arrangements listed in an Officers’ Certificate to be delivered by the Company to the Trustee concurrently with the execution of this Indenture.  In addition, any transaction or series of related transactions between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Company that is permitted under this Section 1013 and that involves an aggregate consideration of Cdn$10,000,000 or more must be approved by the Board of Directors.  For purposes of this Section 1013, any transaction or series of related transactions between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and an Affiliate of the Company that is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors shall be deemed to be on terms as favorable as those that might be obtained at the time of such transaction (or series of related transactions) from a Person who is not such an Affiliate and thus shall be permitted under this Section 1013.

Section 1014.  Restricted Subsidiaries.
 
(a)           The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary or any Person that is to become a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) such action is in compliance with Section 1010 of this Indenture and (ii) prior to the Release Date, such Restricted Subsidiary becomes an Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Deed of Trust) under the Deed of Trust.
 
(b)           The Board of Directors may not designate (i) any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) prior to the Release Date, any Person that is to become a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, unless:
 
(i)           such Unrestricted Subsidiary or such Person is incorporated or organized in Canada or a province or territory thereof, or in the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
 
(ii)           immediately before and after giving effect to such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
 
(iii)           immediately after giving effect to such designation on a pro forma basis (and if such designation is made in connection with the acquisition of a Person or an operating business that is about to become a Subsidiary, after giving effect to all terms of such acquisition, including all reorganizations of indebtedness effected prior to or at the time of the completion of such acquisition), the Company could have incurred at least Cdn$1.00 of additional Debt in accordance with the provisions of Section 1007 of this Indenture; and
 
(iv)           prior to the Release Date, such Unrestricted Subsidiary or such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Deed of Trust) under the Deed of Trust.
 
Section 1015.  Disposition of Proceeds of Asset Sale.
 
(a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any Asset Sale if the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale, together with the Net Cash Proceeds of any other Asset Sales that have occurred since the date of this Indenture, exceed 15% of the book value (determined in accordance with GAAP) of the total Consolidated assets of the Company as of the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter next preceding such Asset Sale (all Net Cash Proceeds other than Net Cash Proceeds in an aggregate amount up to such 15% amount being referred to as “Covered Net Cash Proceeds”), unless:
 
 
91
 
 
(i)           such Asset Sale is for not less than the fair market value of the assets sold (as determined by the Board of Directors);
 
(ii)           at least 75% of the proceeds from such Asset Sale consist of cash or cash equivalents, provided that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may make any Investment in a Strategic Joint Venture without complying with this clause (ii) if immediately before and after giving effect to such Investment on a pro forma basis the Company could have incurred at least Cdn$1.00 of additional Debt in accordance with the provisions of Section 1007; and
 
(iii)           immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing.
 
(b)    Within 12 months of any Asset Sale, the Company may (i) use the Covered Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale, or a portion thereof, as working capital in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) invest, or enter into a legally binding agreement to invest, such Covered Net Cash Proceeds, or a portion thereof, in properties and assets to replace the properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets that (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will use in the Telecommunications Business.  If any such legally binding agreement to invest any Covered Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, then the Company may invest such Covered Net Cash Proceeds, prior to the end of such 12-month period or within 60 days from such termination, whichever is later, in the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence.  The amount of such Covered Net Cash Proceeds not applied, used or invested as set forth in the foregoing two sentences multiplied by the Security Factor constitutes “Excess Proceeds”.  The “Security Factor” is a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding on the date of such Asset Sale and the denominator of which is (i) prior to the Release Date, the aggregate principal amount of Debt of the Company, including the Securities, that is outstanding on the date of such Asset Sale and that is secured by a pledge of Deed of Trust Bonds and (ii) on or after the Release Date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding on the date of such Asset Sale and (B) the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Company that is pari passu with the Securities, to the extent the terms of such Debt require the Company to make an offer to purchase such Debt upon the occurrence of such Asset Sale.
 
For the purposes of the preceding paragraph, the assumption of Senior Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries from all liability on such Senior Debt in connection with such Asset Sale shall be deemed to constitute cash in an amount equal to the principal amount outstanding or accreted value of such Senior Debt.
 
 
92
 
 
(c)           When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals Cdn$20,000,000 or more, the Company shall make an offer to purchase (an “Offer”) from all Holders of the Securities, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1015, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of U.S.$1,000) of Securities that may be purchased using such amount of Excess Proceeds (subject to proration in the event that such amount is less than the aggregate Offered Price of all Securities tendered).  The offer price (the “Offered Price”) shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of each Security plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.  To the extent that the aggregate Offered Price of all Securities tendered pursuant to an Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds relating thereto (such shortfall constituting a “Deficiency”), the Company may use such Deficiency for general corporate purposes.  Upon the completion of the purchase of all Securities tendered pursuant to an Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero; provided that the amount of 25% Excess Proceeds (as defined below) shall constitute Excess Proceeds for purposes of the first Offer that is made after the fifth anniversary of the date of the original issuance of the Securities (the “Fifth Anniversary”).
 
(d)           Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 1015, in no event shall the Company be required on or prior to the Fifth Anniversary under this Section 1015 to use Excess Proceeds, together with amounts required to be used to retire Securities pursuant to Section 1017, to purchase Securities if doing so would result in the purchase of Securities with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities.  If the aggregate Excess Proceeds (disregarding any resetting to zero pursuant to subsection (c) hereof) resulting from Asset Sales occurring on or prior to the Fifth Anniversary, plus any amounts used, or required to be used, to retire Securities pursuant to Section 1017, less any Deficiencies resulting from any Offers made by the Company on or prior to such date, exceeds 25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (such excess being the “25% Excess Proceeds”), then the Company shall make an Offer at the Offered Price in accordance with subsection (b) above (i) promptly after the Fifth Anniversary, in the event the amount of the 25% Excess Proceeds exceeds Cdn$10,000,000 or (ii) at such time as the amount of the 25% Excess Proceeds together with the Excess Proceeds received after the Fifth Anniversary exceeds Cdn$20,000,000, in the event the amount of the 25% Excess Proceeds is less than Cdn$10,000,000.
 
(e)           Within 20 Business Days after the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds Cdn$20,000,000, the Company shall send by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of the Securities, at its address appearing in the Security Register, and to the Trustee a notice stating:
 
(i)           that the Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Securities at the Offered Price, subject to proration in the event the Excess Proceeds are less than the aggregate Offered Price of all Securities tendered;
 
 
93
 
 
(ii)           the date of purchase of Securities pursuant to the Offer (the “Offer Date”), which shall be no earlier than 20 days nor later than 40 days from the date such notice is mailed; and
 
(iii)           the instructions a Holder must follow in order to have his Securities purchased in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
 
(f)           Holders electing to have Securities purchased will be required to surrender such Securities to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least five Business Days prior to the Offer Date.  Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company receives, not later than three Business Days prior to the Offer Date,  a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities delivered for purchase by the Holder as to which its election is to be withdrawn and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities purchased.  If the aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered by Holders exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds that are required to be used to purchase Securities, the Company shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis, with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company, so that only Securities in denominations of U.S.$1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased.  Holders of Securities whose Securities are purchased only in part will be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.
 
(g)           If and for as long as the Company shall be prohibited from purchasing any Security from a Holder in an Offer because of provisions of applicable law, the Company need not make such Offer with respect to such Security.  If such prohibition shall continue for a period of 180 days after such Offer should have been commenced in accordance with Section 1015(e), the Company shall then be obligated to utilize the Excess Proceeds in the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.
 
(h)           Whenever Excess Proceeds (other than 25% Excess Proceeds) received by the Company exceed Cdn$20,000,000, such Excess Proceeds shall, prior to the purchase of Securities, be set aside by the Company in a separate account pending (i) deposit with the depositary of the amount required to repay the Securities tendered in an Offer or (ii) delivery by the Company of the Offered Price to the Holders of the Securities tendered in an Offer.  Such Excess Proceeds may be invested in Temporary Cash Investments the maturity date of which is not later than the Offer Date.  The Company shall be entitled to any interest or dividends accrued, earned or paid on such Temporary Cash Investments.  Such Excess Proceeds, or any portion thereof, need not be set aside in a separate account but may instead be used to repay Debt if (i) the Trustee shall have received a Board Resolution to the effect that, based on cash and cash equivalents on hand and existing revolving credit facilities, the Board of Directors believes that there is no reasonable circumstance under which the Company will not have access to sufficient funds in order to consummate the Offer and (ii) such repayment of Debt complies with all other conditions of the Indenture.
 
 
94
 
 
(i)    Upon any sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company of all of the Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary held by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary shall cease to be a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that (A) such Restricted Subsidiary is or becomes an Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Deed of Trust) under the Deed of Trust, and (B) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture as evidenced by the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate to such effect.
 
Section 1016.  Limitation on Secured Debt.
 
On or after the Release Date, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any Secured Debt unless and for so long as the Company secures the Securities equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Secured Debt.  However, the Company may incur Secured Debt without securing the Securities if, immediately after incurring the Secured Debt, the aggregate amount of all Secured Debt and the aggregate amount of Attributable Debt then outstanding pursuant to Sale and Leaseback Transactions would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.  The aggregate amount of all Secured Debt in the preceding sentence excludes Secured Debt which is secured equally and ratably with the Securities and Secured Debt that is being repaid concurrently.  Any Lien which is granted to secure the Securities under this Section 1016 shall be discharged at the same time as the discharge of the Lien securing the Secured Debt that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Securities under this Section 1016.
 
Section 1017.  Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
 
On or after the Release Date, the Company shall not permit, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction, unless either (a) immediately thereafter, the sum of (1) the Attributable Debt to be outstanding pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and all other Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary on or after the Release Date (or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary, the date on which it became a Restricted Subsidiary, if on or after the Release Date) and (2) the aggregate amount of all Debt secured by a Lien, excluding Debt which is secured to the same extent as the Securities, does not exceed 15% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, or (b) an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary from such sale and the Attributable Debt to be outstanding pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is used within 180 days to retire long-term debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that in no event shall the Company be required on or prior to the Fifth Anniversary to retire Securities pursuant to this Section 1017 that, together with Securities that have been or are required to be repaid pursuant to Section 1015, have an aggregate principal amount in excess of 25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities, and provided further that, promptly after the Fifth Anniversary, the Company will retire any Securities that would have been retired under this Section 1017 but for the foregoing proviso.  However, Debt which is subordinate to the Securities or which is owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may not be retired.
 
 
95
 
 
Section 1018.  Provision of Financial Statements.
 
(a)           The Company shall supply without cost to each Holder of the Securities, and file with the Trustee within 30 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
 
(b)           If the Company is not required to file with the Commission such reports and other information referred to in Section 1018(a), the Company shall furnish without cost to each Holder of the Securities and file with the Trustee (i) within 140 days after the end of each fiscal year, audited year-end financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and substantially in the form prescribed by applicable Canadian regulatory authorities for Canadian public reporting companies (whether or not the Company is a public reporting company at the time), (ii) within 75 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, unaudited quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and substantially in the form prescribed by applicable Canadian regulatory authorities for Canadian public reporting companies (whether or not the Company is a public reporting company at the time).  The Company shall also make such reports available to prospective purchasers of the Securities, securities analysts and broker-dealers upon their request.
 
Section 1019.  Payment of Additional Amounts.
 
All payments made by the Company under or with respect to the Securities will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of Canada or of any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (hereinafter “Taxes”), unless the Company is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof.  If the Company is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Securities, the Company will pay as interest such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder (an “Excluded Holder”) (i) with which the Company does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) at the time of making such payment or (ii) which is subject to such Taxes by reason of its being connected with Canada or any province or territory thereof otherwise than by the mere holding of Securities or the receipt of payments thereunder.  The Company will also (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.  The Company will furnish to the Holders of the Securities, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company.  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder (other than an Excluded Holder) and upon written request reimburse each such Holder for the amount of (i) any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Holder as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Securities, (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and (iii) any Taxes imposed with respect to any reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii), but excluding any such Taxes on such Holder’s net income.
 
 
96
 
 
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Securities is due and payable, if the Company will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee, on behalf of the Company, to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date.  Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), Redemption Price, Change in Control Purchase Price, Offered Price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Security such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made (if applicable).
 
The obligations of the Company under this Section 1019 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the payment of all amounts under or with respect to the Securities.
 
Section 1020.  Statement as to Compliance.
 
The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the date hereof (or within such shorter time period as may be required by the Trust Indenture Act) and otherwise upon the demand of the Trustee, a brief certificate of its principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating whether, to such officer’s knowledge, the Company is in compliance with all covenants and conditions to be complied with by it under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.  For purposes of this Section 1020, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture or the Collateral Documents.
 
When a Default has occurred and is continuing or if the Trustee, any Holder or the trustee for or the holder of any other evidence of Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed default (other than with respect to Debt in the principal amount of less than Cdn$10,000,000), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default, notice or other action within 10 Business Days of its occurrence.
 
 
97
 
 
The Company shall furnish to the Trustee, upon the demand of the Trustee, evidence, in the form required by the Trustee, of any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company under this Indenture.
 
Section 1021.  Waiver of Certain Covenants.
 
The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 1005 through 1018 if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding shall, by Act of such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.
 
Section 1022.  Suspension of Covenants.
 
(a)           During any period of time (a “Suspension Period”) that (i) the ratings assigned to the Securities by at least two of the three Rating Agencies are Investment Grade Ratings and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 1007 (except to the extent applicable under Section 1014), 1008, 1009, 1010, 1012, 1013, 1015 and 801(c) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).
 
(b)           In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to the Securities, for any period of time as a result of paragraph (a) of this Section and subsequently, at least two of the three Ratings Agencies withdraw their ratings on the Securities or assign the Securities a rating below the required Investment Grade Ratings, then the Suspension Period shall immediately terminate and the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants for the benefit of the Securities.  Compliance with the Suspended Covenants following their reinstatement with respect to Restricted Payments made after the time of such withdrawal or assignment will be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 1009 as if such Section had been in effect during the entire period of time from the date of this Indenture.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither (i) the continued existence following the termination of the Suspension Period of facts and circumstances or obligations that were incurred or otherwise came into existence during a Suspension Period nor (ii) the performance of any such obligations, including the consummation of any transaction pursuant to, and on materially the same terms as, a contractual agreement in existence prior to the termination of the Suspension Period, shall constitute a breach of any covenant set forth in the Indenture or cause a Default or Event of Default thereunder; provided that (1) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries did not incur or otherwise cause such facts and circumstances or obligations to exist in anticipation of a withdrawal or downgrade below an Investment Grade Rating and (2) the Company did not reasonably believe that such incurrence or actions would result in such withdrawal or downgrade.  For purposes of clause (ii) above, any increase in the consideration to be paid by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an amendment or modification to the terms of an existing obligation following the termination of the Suspension Period that does not exceed 10% of the consideration that was to be paid prior to such amendment or modification shall not be deemed to be a “material” amendment or modification.  For purposes of clauses (1) and (2) above, anticipation and reasonable belief may be determined by the Company and shall be conclusively evidenced by a Board Resolution to such effect adopted by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors in making its determination may, but need not, consult with the Rating Agencies.
 
 
98
 
 
Section 1023.  Release of Security.
 
(a)           In the event that (i) on a pro forma basis giving effect to the release of the security for the Securities and any other Debt of the Company with similar release provisions, (A) no Debt of the Company would be outstanding and (B) there would be no availability to the Company under any bank credit facilities, operating credit facilities or swap agreements, in the case of each of (A) and (B) that is or are secured by a Lien of the Pledge Agreement or any Collateral Document or any other Lien on the Deed of Trust Collateral, (ii) the ratings assigned to the Securities by at least two of the three Rating Agencies are Investment Grade Ratings and (iii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then, without the consent of the Holders, the Company may permanently terminate the Lien of the Pledge Agreement or any Collateral Document and any other Lien on the Deed of Trust Collateral.  On the Release Date, the provisions of Article Twelve of this Indenture shall terminate and have no further force or effect.
 
(b)           The Company shall notify the Rating Agencies and the Trustee of its intention to exercise its option to release the collateral at least 45 days prior to the proposed date of such release (the “Release Date”).  In order to effect the release of the security, on the proposed Release Date the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that (A) each of the conditions specified above has been satisfied and (B) the Company has not been notified by the Rating Agencies that the ratings assigned to the Securities will be downgraded as a result of the release of the security such that the ratings assigned to the Securities by at least two of the three Rating Agencies will be below Investment Grade.  Such Officers’ Certificate shall be dated on, or not more than one day prior to, the Release Date.
 
(c)           As soon as practicable after the occurrence of the Release Date, the Trustee will, upon Company Order and at the Company’s expense, (i) return to the Company all Collateral in the Trustee’s possession as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement and any Collateral Document and any other Lien on the Deed of Trust Collateral and (ii) promptly execute and deliver further instruments and documents, and take all further actions, that evidence the termination of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement and any Collateral Document and any other Lien on the Deed of Trust Collateral.

EXHIBIT A

PROVISIONS FOR INTER-COMPANY DEEPLY SUBORDINATED DEBT
 
1.1           Terms defined in the Indenture in respect of the 9.625% Senior (Secured) Notes due 2011 dated as of May 2, 2001 (the “Indenture”) between Rogers Wireless Inc.  (the “Company”) and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and used herein have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Indenture.  As used herein, the term “Relevant Obligor” means the obligor creating, incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any Inter-Company Deeply Subordinated Debt.  The term “Obligor” means any of the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary.
 
2.1           Definition of Senior Indebtedness.  “Senior Indebtedness” means at any date all indebtedness under the Securities and the Indenture (including, without limitation, all amounts payable pursuant to Section 607 of the Indenture, principal, interest, Additional Amounts, premium, fees, penalties, indemnities and “post-petition interest” in bankruptcy).
 
2.2           Agreement to Subordinate.  The indebtedness evidenced by this agreement shall constitute Inter-Company Deeply Subordinated Debt and the Relevant Obligor and the relevant creditor who is owed such indebtedness (the “Relevant Creditor”) agree that such indebtedness (including, without limitation, principal, interest, premium, fees, penalties, indemnities and “post-petition interest” in bankruptcy) is subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 2, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.
 
The Relevant Obligor agrees to hold the benefit of these provisions as incorporated in this agreement or this instrument as trustee for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and the Relevant Obligor shall be a party to the agreement or instrument in such capacity and shall give the Relevant Creditor (and the Relevant Obligor on its own behalf) one dollar as valuable consideration in respect of the agreements given to it in such capacity as trustee.
 
The provisions of this Section 2 are for the benefit of the holders from time to time of Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are hereby made obligees hereunder to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such, and they (collectively or singly) may proceed to enforce such provisions.
 
2.3           Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.  (a) Upon any distribution of assets of the Relevant Obligor to creditors or upon a liquidation or dissolution or winding-up of the Relevant Obligor or in a bankruptcy, arrangement, liquidation, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar case or proceeding relating to the Relevant Obligor or its property or other marshalling of assets of the Relevant Obligor:
 
(i)           the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness before the Relevant Creditor shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest on, or any other amount owing in respect of, the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument;
 
 
 
 
(ii)           until payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, any distribution of assets of any kind or character to which the Relevant Creditor would be entitled but for this Section 2 shall be paid by the Relevant Obligor or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agents or other Persons making such payment or distribution to, or if received by the Relevant Creditor shall be held for the benefit of and shall be forthwith paid or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness, as their interests may appear; and
 
(iii)           in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Relevant Obligor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Relevant Creditor before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, as their interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of such Senior Indebtedness.
 
For purposes hereof, the words “cash, property or securities” shall be deemed not to include securities of the Relevant Obligor or any other Person provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided herein with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided, however, that (i) all Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new Person, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.
 
 
2
 
 
(b)           If the Relevant Creditor does not file proper claims or proofs of claim in the form required in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Relevant Obligor or its property prior to 45 days before the expiration of the time to file such claims, then (i) upon the request of the Trustee, the Relevant Creditor shall file such claims and proofs of claim in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument and execute and deliver such powers of attorney, assignments and proofs of claim as may be directed by the Trustee to enable it to enforce any and all claims upon or in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument and to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument, and (ii) whether or not the Trustee shall take the action described in clause (i) above, the Trustee shall nevertheless be deemed to have such powers of attorney as may be necessary to file appropriate claims and proofs of claim and otherwise exercise the powers described above.
 
For purpose of this Section 2, “payment in full”, with respect to Senior Indebtedness, means the receipt on an irrevocable basis of cash in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness and premium, if any, and interest thereon to the date of such payment, together with all other amounts owing with respect to such Senior Indebtedness.
 
2.4 Senior Indebtedness.  (a)  The Relevant Obligor shall not pay any principal, interest or premium on the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument, acquire the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument for cash or property other than capital stock of the Relevant Obligor, or make any loans, advances or extensions of credit to the Relevant Creditor with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument, or pay or acquire any obligation or liability upon which the Relevant Creditor is the obligor, and the Relevant Creditor shall not demand, accept or receive any payment of any principal, interest or premium on the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument or any such cash, property other than capital stock of the Relevant Obligor, loans, advances or extensions of credit at any time when:
 
(i)           a default in the payment of any Senior Indebtedness has occurred, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration of an acceleration or otherwise, and such default either (A) shall be continuing or (B) shall not have been cured and shall have been waived by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the express condition that payments on and acquisitions of the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument by the Relevant Obligor be prohibited pursuant to this clause (i); or
 
(ii)           any default (other than as described in clause (i) of this Section 2.4(a)) under any agreement or instrument evidencing Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and either (x) shall be continuing or (y) shall not have been cured and shall have been waived by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the express condition that payments on or acquisition of the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument be prohibited pursuant to this clause (ii); or
 
(iii)           such payment of principal, interest or premium on the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument, or acquisition of the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument for cash or property other than capital stock of the Relevant Obligor would cause a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture.
 
(b)           If at any time when a payment on the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument is due, the Relevant Obligor would (but for this subsection (b)) be prohibited by Section 2.4(a) from making such payment, the Relevant Obligor shall nonetheless be obligated to make such payment if all of the holders of Senior Indebtedness with respect to which any default shall have occurred shall have consented thereto in writing.
 
(c)           If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be received by the Relevant Creditor before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, as their interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full after giving effect to any concurrent payment to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of such Senior Indebtedness.
 
2.5           Subrogation.  After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument is paid in full, the Relevant Creditor shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness.  For purposes of this Section 2.5, a distribution made under this Section 2 to holders of Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to the Relevant Creditor, or a payment made by the Relevant Creditor to holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of a turnover obligation under this Section 2, is not, as between the Relevant Obligor and such holder, a payment by the Relevant Obligor on Senior Indebtedness.
 
 
3
 
 
2.6           Relative Rights.  This Section 2 defines the relative rights of the Relevant Creditor and the holders of Senior Indebtedness.  Nothing in this Section 2 shall:
 
(a)           impair, as between the Relevant Obligor and the Relevant Creditor, the obligation of the Relevant Obligor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on the indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument in accordance with its terms; or
 
(b)           affect the relative rights of the Relevant Creditor and creditors of the Relevant Obligor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or
 
(c)           affect the relative rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness among themselves; or
 
(d)           prevent the Relevant Creditor from exercising its available remedies upon a default, subject to Section 2.4 hereof and the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, property or other assets otherwise payable to the Relevant Creditor.
 
2.7           Subordination May Not Be Impaired.  (a)  No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument shall in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by the Relevant Obligor or by any act or failure to act in good faith, by any such holder or the Trustee, or by any non-compliance by the Relevant Obligor with the terms, provisions or covenants herein, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder or the Trustee may have or be otherwise charged with.  Neither the subordination of the indebtedness represented by this agreement or instrument as herein provided nor the rights of the holders of  Senior Indebtedness with respect hereto shall be affected by any extension, renewal or modification of the terms, or the granting of any security in respect of, any Senior Indebtedness or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy with respect thereto.
 
(b)           The Relevant Creditor agrees that all indebtedness evidenced by this agreement or instrument will be unsecured by any Lien upon or with respect to any property of the Relevant Obligor, and that the Relevant Creditor will not permit to subsist any Liens upon its claim in respect of or upon the proceeds of the indebtedness represented by this agreement or instrument.

7.           Upon the maturity of any Senior Secured Debt by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, then, except as hereinafter provided, all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all such matured Senior Secured Debt shall first be paid in full or shall have first been duly provided for before any payment on account of principal of or premium, if any, or interest owing to the Relevant Creditor is made.

9.           The fact that any payment to the Relevant Creditor is prohibited hereby shall not prevent the failure to make such payment from being an event of default as regards such Relevant Creditor.

11.           Unless and until written notice shall be given to the Relevant Creditor by or on behalf of any Holder or any representative or representatives of any Holder, including the Trustee (it being understood that nothing herein shall create any obligation on the part of the Trustee to give any such notice), notifying the Relevant Creditor of the happening of an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Secured Debt or of the existence of any other facts which would result in the making of any payment with respect to the Debt owing to the Relevant Creditor in contravention of the provisions hereof, the Relevant Creditor shall be entitled to assume that no such Event of Default has occurred or that no such facts exist; and, with respect to any monies which may at any time be received by the Relevant Creditor in trust pursuant to any provisions hereof prior to the receipt by it of such written notice, nothing herein shall prevent the Relevant Creditor from applying such monies to the purposes for which the same were so received, notwithstanding the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default with respect to, or the existence of such facts with respect to, the Senior Secured Debt unless the Relevant Creditor has actual knowledge to the contrary.
