as the approval of a majority of the votes cast by holders of such voting shares, excluding any Major Shareholder. A Major Shareholder generally means the beneficial owner of more than 20% of the outstanding voting shares of the Corporation. The
articles contain a broad definition of beneficial ownership, and in particular, a person is considered to beneficially own shares owned by its associates and affiliates, as those terms are defined in the articles. Transactions which are considered
to be Specified Transactions include the following: a merger or amalgamation of the Corporation with a Major Shareholder; the furnishing of financial assistance by the Corporation to a Major Shareholder; certain sales of assets or provision of
services by the Corporation to a Major Shareholder or vice versa; certain issuances of securities by the Corporation which increase the proportionate voting interest of a Major Shareholder; a reorganization or recapitalization of the Corporation
which increases the proportionate voting interest of a Major Shareholder; and the creation of a class or series of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-voting</FONT> shares of the Corporation which has a residual right to participate in earnings of

through which it operates. The following description of debt securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities that may be offered under this Prospectus and in respect of which a Prospectus Supplement may be filed.
The Corporation will provide particular terms and provisions of a series of debt securities and a description of how the general terms and provisions described below may apply to that series in a Prospectus Supplement. Prospective investors should
rely on information in the applicable Prospectus Supplement if it is different from the following information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Prospectus does not
qualify the distribution of debt securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to one or more underlying interests including, for example, an equity or debt security, a
statistical measure of economic or financial performance including, but not limited to, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or the price or value of one or more commodities, indices or other items, or any other item or formula, or any
combination or basket of the foregoing items. For greater certainty, the debt securities that may be distributed under this Prospectus include debt securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole
or in part, by reference to published rates of a central banking authority or one or more financial institutions, such as a prime rate or bankers&#146; acceptance rate, or to recognized market benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR, EURIBOR or a

available as described above under &#147;<I>Certain Available Information</I>&#148;. The following is a summary of the Indenture. Whenever there are references to particular provisions of the Indenture, those provisions are qualified in their

securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in U.S. dollars or any other currency. Material Canadian and United States federal income tax considerations applicable to any debt securities, and
special tax considerations applicable to the debt securities denominated in a currency or currency unit other than Canadian or U.S. dollars, will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to the offering of debt securities. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">TransAlta is a corporation existing under the laws of Canada, and the majority of our assets and operations are located, and the majority of
our revenues are derived, outside the United States. We have appointed our U.S. subsidiary, TransAlta Centralia Generation LLC, Centralia, Washington, as our agent to receive service of process in the United States in connection with any
investigations or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC and any civil suit or action brought against or involving TransAlta in a United States court arising from any offering of Securities made under the registration statement on Form <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">F-10</FONT> of which this Prospectus forms a part. However, it may not be possible for investors to enforce, outside the United States, judgments against TransAlta obtained in the United States in any such actions,
including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws. In addition, certain of the directors and officers of TransAlta are residents of Canada or other jurisdictions outside of the United
States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of those directors and officers are or may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon
those persons or to enforce, outside the United States, judgments against them obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws. In addition, there
is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canadian courts in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon United States federal or state securities laws. </P>

request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges, and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual
in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity. In addition, the Registrant may advance moneys to a director,
officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above. The individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions in (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;below. The Registrant may not
indemnify an individual referred to above unless the individual (a)&nbsp;acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual
acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant&#146;s request; and (b)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for
believing that the individual&#146;s conduct was lawful. The Registrant may with the approval of a court, indemnify an individual referred to above, or advance moneys for the cost, charges and expenses of a proceeding referred to above, in respect
of an action by or on behalf of the Registrant or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual&#146;s association with the Registrant or other entity as described above against
all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such action, if the individual fulfills the conditions set out in (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an individual referred to above is
entitled to indemnity from the Registrant in respect of all costs, charges and expenses, reasonably incurred by the individual in the defence of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is
subject because of the individual&#146;s association with the Registrant or other entity referred to above, if the individual seeking indemnity was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do
anything that the individual ought to have done, and if the individual fulfills the conditions set out in (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;above. </P>
