The annual interest requirements on our long term debt (using
applicable interest and exchange rates) for the twelve months
ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, and for the twelve months ended

We are the world&#146;s largest producer and marketer of
methanol, a liquid chemical produced primarily from natural gas
and used mostly as a chemical feedstock in the manufacture of
other products. In 2004, our sales volume of 7.4&nbsp;million
tonnes represented 22% of worldwide methanol demand. Our core
methanol production facilities are located in Chile and Trinidad
and are underpinned with low cost, long-term natural gas
contracts. We believe that our access to low cost natural gas
combined with our extensive global marketing and distribution
system provide us with a competitive advantage in our industry.
We believe that this competitive advantage has enabled us to
establish long-term relationships with global customers that
provide us with greater stability and security of demand for our
methanol, as well as marketing and transportation synergies.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, our average realized
methanol price was $237 per tonne and we generated
$236&nbsp;million of net income and $434&nbsp;million of EBITDA
on revenues of $1.7&nbsp;billion. For the six months ended
June&nbsp;30, 2005, our average realized methanol price was
$259&nbsp;per&nbsp;tonne and we generated net income of
$139&nbsp;million and $254&nbsp;million of EBITDA on revenues of
$849&nbsp;million.

Over the past several years, we have shifted production from
higher cost plants to new, low cost plants. With the completion
of our Atlas plant, a joint venture with BP, in 2004 and our
Chile&nbsp;IV plant in 2005 (which is currently in the start up
phase of production), our low cost hubs in Trinidad and Chile
represent over 85% of our total production capacity. In
addition, we currently operate two methanol production
facilities in New Zealand and Canada. We also source additional
methanol produced by others throughout the world in order to
meet customer needs and support our marketing efforts.

We sell methanol through our extensive global marketing and
distribution system with marketing offices in North America
(Dallas and Vancouver), Europe (Brussels and Billingham,
England), Asia Pacific (Auckland, Shanghai, Tokyo and Seoul) and
Latin America (Santiago, Chile). Currently, about 90% of our
sales are covered by long-term or rolling one-year sales
contracts. In order to reduce the impact of cyclical pricing on
our earnings, we have positioned ourselves with certain global
customers under long-term contracts where prices are fixed or
linked to our costs plus a margin. These contracts are a
component of our prudent approach to liquidity. Our customers
include many major global chemical companies.

Methanol is transported from our plants by pipeline to adjacent
deepwater ports for shipping. We manage a fleet of vessels to
ship our methanol and have entered into short-term and long-term
time charters covering vessels with a range of capacities. We
supplement this through contracts of affreightment and spot
arrangements. Our shipping arrangements, together with the
storage and terminal facilities that we own or lease in North
America, Europe and Asia, provide us with flexibility in the
management of our distribution networks and enable us to service
our customers with greater reliability.

Natural gas is the principal feedstock for methanol and accounts
for a significant portion of its total production costs. Natural
gas for our Chile and Trinidad facilities is supplied under
long-term, low cost contracts. The contracts for Chile I, II,
III and IV are with suppliers in Argentina and Chile and
terminate between 2025 and 2029. In Trinidad, the contract for
Titan expires in 2014 and the Atlas contract expires in 2024.
Pricing of natural gas under these contracts varies with
methanol prices which we believe enables these facilities to be
competitive throughout the methanol price cycle. During the
Southern Hemisphere winter months of May through August in 2004
and 2005, we experienced and continue to experience curtailments
of supply of natural gas to our Chile facilities which have
caused us to reduce our production at these facilities. To
mitigate the impact of current curtailments, we have rescheduled
regular maintenance turnarounds for the Chile&nbsp;II and III
plants, initially planned for later in 2005, to take place
during July and August 2005. In addition, we have had
discussions with Argentine and Chilean governmental authorities
and natural gas suppliers to explore alternatives to address the
current and any future potential curtailments. However, we
cannot assure you that our discussions will lead to successful
actions to address this situation. See &#147;Risk
Factors&nbsp;&#151; Risks Related to our Business and Our
Industry&nbsp;&#151; We are vulnerable to reductions in the
availability of supply and fluctuations in the cost of natural
gas&#148;.

Methanol is primarily used as a chemical feedstock in the
manufacture of other products. Approximately 80% of all methanol
is used in the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid and a
wide variety of other chemical derivatives. These derivatives
are used in the manufacture of a wide range of products
including building materials, foams, resins and plastics. The
remainder of methanol demand comes from the fuel sector,
principally as a component in the production of MTBE, which is
blended with gasoline as a source of octane and as an oxygenate
to reduce the amount of tailpipe emissions from motor vehicles.
Over the last several years, demand for MTBE has been
significantly affected by a ban on the use of MTBE in several
states in the United States as well as other regulatory
developments. Future regulatory actions in the United States or
elsewhere could lead to a further decrease in the global demand
for MTBE.

Methanol is a typical commodity chemical and the methanol
industry is characterized by cycles of oversupply resulting in
lower prices and idling of capacity, followed by periods of
shortage and rising prices as demand exceeds supply until
increased prices lead to new plant investment or the re-start of
idled capacity. Industry restructuring has played a role in
balancing supply and demand in the methanol industry and has
contributed to a prolonged period of above-average methanol
pricing since 2000.

shifted a large portion of our production from higher cost
plants to new, low cost plants. Our 1.7&nbsp;million tonne Atlas
methanol plant and our 850,000 tonne Titan plant provide us with
a low cost production hub in Trinidad. With our recently
completed Chile IV plant, our low cost production hub in Chile
has an annual production capacity of 3.8&nbsp;million tonnes
and, together with our hub in Trinidad, represents over 85% of
our total production capacity. In addition, we have taken
significant steps to reduce our methanol distribution costs and
are continuously investigating opportunities to further improve
the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of distributing methanol
to our customers.

statements, these principles conform in all material respects
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United

    EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a
    substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flows and
    other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported
    in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
    EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, cash flows
    from operating activities, primarily because it does not include
    changes in non-cash working capital and the utilization of
    prepaid natural gas, cash flows related to interest expense,
    interest and other income, income taxes, asset restructuring
    charges and other unusual items. Our method of computing EBITDA
    may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by
    other companies. The following table shows a reconciliation of
    EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities:</TD>

The methanol business is a highly competitive commodity
industry, and prices are affected by supply/demand fundamentals.
Methanol prices have historically been, and are expected to
continue to be, characterized by significant volatility. New
methanol plants have recently commenced commercial production
and more are expected to be built in the future. This will
increase overall production capacity. Additional methanol supply
can also become available in the future by restarting or
relocating idle methanol plants, carrying out major expansions
of existing plants or debottlenecking existing plants to
increase their production capacity. Historically, higher cost
plants have shutdown or been idled when methanol prices are low
but there can be no assurance that this trend will occur in the
future. Demand for methanol is in large part dependent upon
levels of industrial production and changes in general economic
conditions. Changes in environmental, health and safety
requirements could also lead to a decrease in methanol demand.

We are not able to predict future methanol supply/demand
balances, market conditions or prices, all of which are affected
by numerous factors beyond our control. As a result, we cannot
provide assurance that demand for methanol will increase
sufficiently to absorb additional production capacity, or
increase at all, or that the price of methanol will not decline.
Since methanol is the only product we produce and market, a
decline in the price of methanol would have an adverse effect on
our results of operations and financial condition.

<B>MTBE.</B> Methanol for the production of MTBE represented in
2004 approximately 20% of global methanol demand. In the United
States, methanol for the production of MTBE represented in 2004
6% of global methanol demand. Gasoline containing MTBE has
leaked into groundwater in the United States, principally from
underground gasoline storage tanks, and has been discharged
directly into drinking water reservoirs from recreational
watercraft. The presence of MTBE in some water supplies has led
several states in the United States, including California, New
York and Connecticut, to ban the use of MTBE as a gasoline
component. At the U.S. federal government level, there have been
legislative proposals to phase out or curtail MTBE use; however,
to date, no such proposal has become law. We believe that
legislative actions could reduce, or possibly eliminate, the
demand for methanol for MTBE in the United States, which could
have an adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial condition.

In 2002, the European Union issued a final risk assessment
report on MTBE that did not recommend a ban of MTBE. However, it
recommended several risk reduction measures relating to storage
and handling of MTBE-containing fuel. In addition, governmental
efforts in some European Union countries to promote bio-fuels
and alternative fuels through legislation and tax policy is
putting competitive pressures on the use of MTBE in gasoline. In
2004, several European MTBE production facilities commenced
producing ethyl tertiary butyl ether, or ETBE, to take advantage
of these tax incentives.

We cannot assure you that legislation banning or restricting the

<B>Formaldehyde.</B> Approximately 38% of global methanol demand
is used in the production of formaldehyde. In 2004, the
International Agency for Research on Cancer upgraded
formaldehyde to a Group 1 &#147;known&#148; human carcinogen. It
was previously classified as a Group 2 &#147;probable&#148;
human carcinogen. In 2004, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, or EPA, also began the process of preparing an internal
study on the reclassification of formaldehyde. The EPA is
awaiting findings from an updated National Cancer Institute, or
NCI, study before finalizing its review of formaldehyde. We are
unable to determine at this time what the outcome of the NCI
study will be or whether the EPA will reclassify formaldehyde.
Any reclassification of formaldehyde could reduce future
methanol demand which could have an adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.

Natural gas is the principal feedstock for methanol production,
and accounts for a significant portion of our cost of sales and
operating expenses. Accordingly, our operations depend in large
part on the availability and security of supply and the price of
natural gas. If we are unable to obtain continued access to
sufficient natural gas for any of our plants on commercially
acceptable terms or if we experience significant interruptions
in the supply of contracted natural gas, we could be forced to
reduce production or close plants which could have an adverse
effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Our four Chile plants have an annual production capacity of
3.8&nbsp;million tonnes and account for approximately 60% of our
annual production capacity. Natural gas for our Chile facilities
is supplied under long-term take-or-pay contracts which
terminate between 2025 and 2029. Approximately 62% of the
natural gas for our Chile facilities is currently sourced from
suppliers in Argentina (which is currently expected to increase
to approximately 79% in 2009). Argentina has been experiencing
an energy crisis brought about primarily as a result of price
regulation of domestic natural gas and a devaluation of the
Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar. As a result, domestic
demand for natural gas has increased and, at the same time, low
prices have discouraged new supply and investments in
infrastructure. This has resulted in curtailments of contracted
natural gas supply from Argentina to Chile. In 2004, these
curtailments resulted in the loss of approximately 50,000 tonnes
of methanol production at our Chile facilities, all of which
occurred during the peak season for domestic gas demand in
Argentina during the Southern Hemisphere winter months of May
through August. In May 2005, we lost a small amount of methanol
production over a two-day period due to gas curtailments.
However, in mid-June, curtailments recommenced and were more
significant than those experienced in 2004. These curtailments
have ranged widely in June and July, from days when we received
all of the nominated gas we requested for our Chile plants to
other days when more than half of our nominated gas was
curtailed, including gas to supply the Chile IV plant which is
currently in the start&nbsp;up phase. To date in 2005, we have
experienced a total reduction of approximately
71,000&nbsp;tonnes of methanol production, compared to what we
would otherwise have produced which takes into account planned
gradual production increases associated with the start up of
Chile IV and excludes foregone production associated with a
regular maintenance turnaround for Chile II. We are not able to
predict what the total production loss will be in 2005 as a
result of gas curtailments, and we cannot assure you that
production losses in 2005 will not persist beyond the Southern
Hemisphere winter months. We believe that recent curtailments
have been influenced by actions of the Argentine government,
including the reallocation of gas entitlements, as well as by
cold weather conditions, greater domestic demand in Argentina,
the timing of increases in gas production and related
infrastructure and other dynamics related to the energy crisis
in Argentina. These and other factors that could affect gas
supply are difficult to

In Trinidad, we own the 850,000 tonne per year Titan plant and
63.1% of the 1.7&nbsp;million tonne per year Atlas plant in a
joint venture with BP. Natural gas for Titan and Atlas is
supplied under two long-term take-or-pay contracts with the
Trinidad state-owned energy company which terminate in 2014 and
2024, respectively. Although Titan and Atlas are located close
to other natural gas reserves in Trinidad, which we believe we
could access after the expiration or early termination of these
natural gas supply contracts, we cannot provide assurance that
we would be able to secure access to such natural gas under
long-term contracts on commercially acceptable terms.

Prior to 2003, the natural gas for our New Zealand facilities
was sourced primarily from the Maui field under contract with
the New Zealand government and the owners of the field. As a
result of the redetermination of the gas reserves of the Maui
field in 2003, we lost substantially all of our remaining
natural gas entitlements from the Maui field. In November 2004,
this resulted in the shutdown of our Motunui site. The Motunui
site represents 1.9&nbsp;million tonnes of our total New Zealand
operating capacity of 2.4&nbsp;million tonnes. We have
sufficient natural gas contracted for 2005 to produce up to
400,000 tonnes of methanol at our 530,000 tonne per year Waitara
Valley plant. We continue to seek other supplies of natural gas
to supplement this production and to extend the life of the New
Zealand plants; however, there can be no assurance that we will
be able to secure additional gas on commercially acceptable
terms to allow us to operate the plants after 2005.

Natural gas for our 500,000 tonne per year Kitimat, British
Columbia, facility is currently purchased on a short-term basis.
North American natural gas prices are set in a competitive
market and can fluctuate widely. Sustained high natural gas
prices are currently having an adverse affect on the operating
margins and competitive position of our Kitimat facility. We are
currently exploring alternatives for our Kitimat facility which
could result in a shutdown of this plant. However, we are
obligated to supply ammonia under an offtake agreement with the
former owner of the ammonia production assets located adjacent
to this plant, which limits our flexibility to shut down the
plant prior to December&nbsp;31, 2005. In addition, if we shut
down this plant, we will be required to make a buy-out payment
to the public utility that transports natural gas to the plant,
and we will incur employee severance and other costs. The
buy-out payment is Cdn$25&nbsp;million starting November&nbsp;1,
2005 and reduces monthly thereafter.

A substantial portion of all of our revenues are derived from
the sale of methanol produced at our plants. As a result, our
business is subject to the risks of operating methanol
production facilities and the related storage and transportation
of hazardous materials, such as unforeseen equipment breakdowns,
interruptions in the supply of natural gas and other feedstocks,
power failures, human error, loss of port facilities, pipeline
leaks and ruptures, fires, mechanical failure, labor
difficulties, remediation complications, discharges or releases
of toxic or hazardous substances or gases and other
environmental risks, explosions, storage tank leaks, unscheduled
downtime, transportation interruptions, chemical spills,
inclement weather and natural disasters, or any other event,
including any event beyond our reasonable control, which could
result in a prolonged shutdown of any of our plants or impede
our ability to deliver methanol to our customers. A prolonged
plant shutdown at any of our major facilities could adversely
affect our revenues and operating income. Additionally,
disruptions in our distribution system could adversely affect
our revenues and operating income. In addition, some of these
hazards may cause personal injury and loss of life, severe
damage to or destruction of property and equipment and
environmental damage, and may result in suspension of operations
and the imposition of civil, regulatory or criminal penalties.

As part of our strategy to strengthen our position as a low cost
global producer of methanol, we completed construction of the
Atlas facility at our production hub in Trinidad in 2004 and
recently completed construction at the Chile IV expansion of our
production hub in Chile. We intend to continue to pursue new
opportunities to enhance our strategic position in the methanol
industry. For example, we are developing a new methanol project
in Egypt but, as noted below, have not yet made a final decision
to proceed with this project.

Our ability to successfully identify, develop and complete new
capital projects is subject to a number of risks, including
finding and selecting favorable locations for new facilities
where sufficient natural gas is available through long-term
contracts with acceptable commercial terms, obtaining project or
other financing on satisfactory terms, developing and not
exceeding acceptable project cost estimates, constructing and
completing the projects within the contemplated schedules and
other risks commonly associated with the design, construction
and start up of large complex industrial projects. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to identify and develop new
methanol projects or, if we decide to proceed with a project,
that the anticipated cost of construction will not be exceeded
or that it will commence commercial production within the
anticipated schedule, if at all.

In particular, we cannot assure you that the Chile IV plant will
not encounter disruptions or other difficulties during its start
up phase or that the expected costs of this project will not be
exceeded. Further, we do not expect to make a final decision to
proceed with our proposed project in Egypt before 2006, and we
could incur significant development costs for this project but
ultimately determine not to proceed, which would result in a
write-off of these costs.

We currently have substantial operations outside of North
America, including in Chile, Trinidad, New Zealand, Europe and
Asia. We are also developing a methanol project in Egypt, but
have not made a final decision with respect to this project. We
are subject to risks inherent in foreign operations such as:
loss of revenue, property and equipment as a result of
expropriation, nationalization, war, insurrection, corruption
and other political risks; increases in duties, taxes and
governmental royalties and renegotiation of contracts with, and
the ability to obtain necessary permits from, governmental
entities (including permits to export natural gas from Argentina
to supply our Chile facilities); as well as changes in laws and
policies governing operations of foreign-based companies.

In addition, because we derive substantially all of our revenues
from production and sales by subsidiaries outside of Canada, the
payment of dividends or the making of other cash payments or
advances by these subsidiaries to us may be subject to
restrictions or exchange controls on the transfer of funds in or
out of the respective countries or result in the imposition of
taxes on such payments or advances. We have organized our
foreign operations in part based on certain assumptions about
various tax laws (including capital gains and withholding
taxes), foreign currency exchange and capital repatriation laws
and other relevant laws of a variety of foreign jurisdictions.
While we believe that such assumptions are reasonable, we cannot
provide assurance that foreign taxing or other authorities will
reach the same conclusion. Further, if such foreign
jurisdictions were to change or modify such laws, we could
suffer adverse tax and financial consequences.

produce are subject to regulation under various health, safety
and environmental laws. Non-compliance with any of these laws
and regulations may give rise to work orders, fines,

Laws and regulations protecting the environment have become more
stringent in recent years and may, in certain circumstances,
impose absolute liability rendering a person liable for
environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on
the part of such person. These laws and regulations may also
expose us to liability for the conduct of, or conditions caused

laws at the time such acts were performed. We cannot predict the
ultimate costs and timing of environmental liabilities,
including costs associated with changes to current regulatory
standards. Liability under environmental laws relating to
contaminated sites can be imposed retroactively and on a joint

Indenture become applicable, our subsidiaries will not guarantee
the payment of principal or of interest on the Notes and the
Notes will therefore be structurally subordinated to the
obligations of our subsidiaries as a result of our being
structured as a holding company. In the event of an insolvency,
liquidation or other reorganization of any of our subsidiaries,
our creditors (including the holders of the Notes) will not have
any right to proceed against the assets of that subsidiary or to
cause the liquidation or bankruptcy of such subsidiary under
applicable bankruptcy laws. Creditors of such subsidiary would
be entitled to payment in full from its assets before we would
be entitled to receive any distribution from such assets. Except
to the extent that we may ourselves be a creditor with
recognized claims against a subsidiary, claims of creditors of
that subsidiary will have priority with respect to the assets
and earnings of that subsidiary over the claims of our
creditors, including claims under the Notes. As of June&nbsp;30,
2005, our subsidiaries had approximately $331&nbsp;million of
liabilities (which amount includes approximately
$144&nbsp;million of trade payables).

In addition, as a result of our holding company structure, our
operating cash flow and our ability to service our debt,
including the Notes, are dependent upon the operating cash flow
of our subsidiaries and the payment of funds by our subsidiaries
to us in the form of dividends, loans or otherwise. Our
subsidiaries are distinct legal entities and have no obligation,
contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due under the Notes
or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends,
interest, loans, advances or other payments. In addition, the
payment of dividends and the making of loans, advances and other
payments to us by our subsidiaries may be subject to statutory
or contractual restrictions, are contingent upon the earnings of
our subsidiaries and are subject to various business and other
considerations.

As at June&nbsp;30, 2005, after giving effect to the sale of the
Notes offered by this prospectus and the application of the net
proceeds thereof, together with cash on hand, to repay in full
our existing 7.75% Notes due August&nbsp;15, 2005 upon maturity
of such notes, we would have had total indebtedness of
approximately $505&nbsp;million. The Indenture and our credit
facility permit us and our subsidiaries to incur additional
indebtedness, including secured indebtedness, subject to
limitations. Our level of indebtedness could increase our
vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
conditions, place us at a disadvantage compared to those of our
competitors that have less debt, and limit our flexibility in
planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and
industry.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our
indebtedness, including the Notes, and to fund our operations,
working capital and capital expenditures will depend on our
ability to generate cash in the future. This is subject to
general economic, industry, financial, competitive, legislative,
regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. In
particular, global or regional economic conditions could cause
the price of methanol to fall and hamper our ability to make
interest payments on or repay our indebtedness, including the
Notes. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our
indebtedness, including the Notes, on or before maturity. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our
indebtedness, including the Notes, on commercially acceptable
terms, if at all.

In addition, our new senior credit facility will require us to
maintain certain financial ratios and satisfy certain financial
condition tests and may require us to take action to reduce our
debt or take some other action should we not satisfy these
financial ratios or tests.

These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future
financings, make needed capital expenditures, withstand a future
downturn in our business or the economy in general, or otherwise
conduct necessary corporate activities. We may also be prevented
from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise
because of the limitations that the restrictive covenants under
our new senior credit facility and the Indenture impose on us.

A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default
under the applicable debt agreement. A default, if not waived,
could result in acceleration of the debt outstanding under the
agreement and in a default with respect to, and acceleration of,
the debt outstanding under other debt agreements. The
accelerated debt would become immediately due and payable. If
that should occur, we may not be able to pay all such debt,
including the Notes.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, as

had, at any time, an Investment Grade Rating, as defined in the
Indenture, we will be required to offer to purchase all
outstanding Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon. See &#147;Description of the Notes &#151;

We are organized under the laws of Canada and our principal
executive office is located in Vancouver, British Columbia. The

named in this prospectus, are residents of Canada, and a
substantial portion of their assets and our assets are located

you to effect service of process within the United States upon
the directors, officers and experts, or to enforce against them
judgments of United States courts based upon civil liability
under the federal securities laws of the United States. There is

In 1995, we issued $250&nbsp;million of 7.75% Notes due
August&nbsp;15, 2005, or the 7.75% Notes, under the Indenture.
In 2002, we issued $200&nbsp;million of 8.75% Notes due
August&nbsp;15, 2012, or the 8.75%&nbsp;Notes, under the
Indenture. These existing notes pay interest semi-annually on
February&nbsp;15 and August&nbsp;15 of each year and rank
equally in right of payment with all other senior indebtedness,
including the Notes offered by this prospectus. We intend to
repay in full our 7.75% Notes upon maturity of such notes with
the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes offered by this
prospectus and from cash on hand.

The covenants applicable to the 8.75% Notes are substantially
the same as those that will be applicable to the Notes offered
by this prospectus, except that: (1)&nbsp;the 8.75% Notes are
only redeemable if we are obligated to pay Additional Amounts
(as defined herein) as a result of changes affecting Canadian
withholding taxes, (2)&nbsp;the 8.75% Notes are subject to a
Change of Control covenant regardless of whether such notes have
an Investment Grade Rating (as defined in the Indenture), and
(3)&nbsp;the definition of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, as it
applies to the 8.75%&nbsp;Notes, only permits us to designate
subsidiaries as unrestricted at the time of acquisition or
formation of such subsidiaries.

On June&nbsp;3, 2005, we finalized a new credit facility with a
syndicate of banks. The credit facility, which is unsecured and
currently undrawn, provides for up to $250&nbsp;million in
revolving loans and letters of credit, ranks equally in right of
payment with all of Methanex Corporation&#146;s unsubordinated
and unsecured indebtedness, including the Notes offered by this
prospectus, and expires in 2010. Prior to expiration, funds
available under the credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and
reborrowed without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the
facility bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either a
base rate or, at our option, a LIBOR rate, plus an applicable
margin in either case. Under the credit facility, we are
required to pay a commitment fee on the difference between the
amounts actually borrowed and the committed amounts. The credit
facility requires us to comply with a debt to capitalization
ratio and an interest coverage ratio. We are currently in
compliance with both ratios. The credit agreement contains
customary affirmative and negative covenants, representations,
warranties and events of default, including but not limited to
payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties,
covenant defaults, cross defaults and certain events of
bankruptcy and insolvency.

Atlas Methanol Company Unlimited, in which we own a 63.1%
interest, has senior debt obligations in the aggregate amount of
$231&nbsp;million and subordinated debt obligations in the
aggregate amount of $15&nbsp;million, incurred for the purposes
of financing a portion of the costs of construction of our Atlas
facility. All such obligations are secured by a first fixed and
floating charge over all of the property and assets of Atlas.
Atlas is also required to maintain a number of restricted
accounts, including a debt service reserve account in the amount
of six month&#146;s debt service. The master agreement, which
governs all of Atlas&#146;s senior debt obligations, contains
customary affirmative and negative covenants, representations,
warranties and events of default, including but not limited to
payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties,
covenant defaults, cross defaults and certain events of
bankruptcy and insolvency. Atlas Methanol Company Unlimited and
its direct parent are Unrestricted Subsidiaries under the

2015. The Notes will be initially issued in a total principal
amount of $150,000,000. We may issue additional notes of the
same series under the Indenture from time to time after this
offering, without the consent of the holders of the Notes. The
Notes and any additional notes of this series subsequently

Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate

2006. The Notes will provide for us to pay interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent lawful, on overdue installments of
interest at the above rate per annum, plus 1%. Interest on the
Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised
of twelve 30-day months. The yearly rate of interest that is
equivalent to the rate payable under the Notes is the rate
payable multiplied by the actual number of days in the year and
divided by 360 and is disclosed herein solely for the purpose of

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, we

Event&#148; will occur only if a Change of Control and a Rating
Decline both occur. In the Change of Control Offer, we will
offer to purchase Notes for a purchase price in cash equal to
101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes
repurchased, to the date of purchase; provided, however, that
interest payable on or prior to the date of purchase will be

Date specified in the notice, which date shall be between 30 and
60&nbsp;days of the mailing of the notice, pursuant to the
procedures required by the Indenture and described in such
notice. We will comply with the requirements of
Section&nbsp;14(e) of and Rule 14e-1 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;)
and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of
Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of
Control provisions of the Indenture, we will comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of
Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, we will be required to,
to the extent lawful, (1)&nbsp;accept for payment all Notes or
portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer, (2)&nbsp;deposit with the paying agent an amount
equal to the purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions
thereof so tendered, and (3)&nbsp;deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted, together with an
Officers&#146; Certificate stating the aggregate principal
amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by us. The
paying agent will be required to promptly mail to each Holder
who properly tendered Notes, the purchase price for such Notes
and the Trustee will be required to promptly authenticate and
mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each such
Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased
portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; <I>provided </I>that
each new Note will be in a principal amount of US$1,000 or an

The provisions described above that require us to make a Change
of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event
will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the
Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect
to a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Indenture does not
contain provisions that permit the Holders of the Notes to
require that we repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a
takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a
Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the
Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in compliance with, the requirements set forth in the
Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by us,
and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn
under the Change of Control Offer.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating
to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition of &#147;all or substantially all&#148; of the
properties or assets of us and our Subsidiaries taken as a
whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting
the phrase &#147;substantially all,&#148; there is no precise
established definition of the phrase under applicable law.
Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Notes to require us to
repurchase the Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets
of us and our Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or
group may be uncertain.

An Event of Default with respect to the Notes is defined in the
Indenture as (1)&nbsp;a default by us in the payment of interest
on the Notes (including any Additional Amount) when due and
payable, continued for 30&nbsp;days, (2)&nbsp;a default by us in
the payment of principal with respect to the Notes when due and

any reason (other than as a result of a release of such
Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture) (the
&#147;guarantee default provision&#148;). A default under
clause&nbsp;(4) or (5) will not constitute an Event of Default
until the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes notify us of the default and we
do not cure such default within the time specified after receipt
of such notice.

If an Event of Default (other than a bankruptcy default with
respect to us) occurs and is continuing with respect to the
Notes, the Trustee by notice to us, or the holders of at least
25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice
to us and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued
but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon
such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and

occurs and is not cured within the time period permitted, the
principal of and interest on all the debt securities issued
pursuant to the Indenture, including the Notes, will <I>ipso
facto </I>become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
holders of debt securities issued pursuant to the Indenture.
Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes may rescind any such acceleration
with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the

receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity, and
(5)&nbsp;the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with
such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain
restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Notes will be given the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Notes or of
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
respect to the Notes. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow
any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that
the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of

Under the Indenture, if a Default occurs with respect to the
Notes and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee
must mail to each holder of the Notes notice of the Default
within 90&nbsp;days after it occurs. Except in the case of a
Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or
interest on the Notes, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so
long as a committee of its trust officers determines in good
faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders
of Notes. In addition, we are required to deliver to the
Trustee, within 120&nbsp;days after the end of each fiscal year,
a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any
Default that occurred during the previous year. We are also
required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30&nbsp;days after we
learn of the existence thereof, written notice of any event
which would constitute certain Defaults, their status and what
action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner thereof,
DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the

DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New
York Banking Law, a &#147;banking organization&#148; within the
meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal
Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the
meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, and a &#147;clearing
agency&#148; registered pursuant to the provisions of
Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that
its participants (&#147;Direct Participants&#148;) deposit with
DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Direct
Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and
pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized
book-entry changed in Direct Participants&#146; accounts,
thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities
certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and
dealers (including certain of the underwriters), banks, trust
companies, clearing corporations and certain other
organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Depository Trust&nbsp;Company &#38; Clearing Corporation
(&#147;DTCC&#148;). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of its
Direct Participants and members of DTCC clearing corporations,
as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American
Stock Exchange LLC and the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Access to DTC&#146;s system is also available to
others such as securities brokers and dealers, clearing
corporations, banks and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,
either directly or

indirectly (&#147;Indirect Participant&#148;). The rules
applicable to DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are
on file with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Purchases of the Notes under DTC&#146;s system must be made by
or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for
such Notes on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each
actual purchaser of each Note represented by a Global Note
(&#147;Beneficial Owner&#148;) is in turn to be recorded on the
Direct and Indirect Participants&#146; records. Beneficial
Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written
confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as
periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or
Indirect Participants through which such Beneficial Owner
entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests
in the Global Notes representing the Notes are to be
accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting
on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners of the Global
Notes representing the Notes will not receive the Notes in
definitive form representing their ownership interests therein,
except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the
Notes is discontinued or upon the occurrence of certain other
events described herein.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Global Notes
representing the Notes which are deposited with DTC are
registered in the name of DTC&#146;s nominee, Cede &#38; Co. The
deposit of Global Notes with DTC and their registration in the
name of Cede &#38; Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership.
DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the
Global Notes representing the Notes; DTC&#146;s records reflect
only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts
such Notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial
Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain
responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of
their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct
Participants, by Direct Participants or Indirect Participants,
and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to
Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them,
subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in
effect from time to time.

Neither DTC nor Cede &#38; Co. will consent or vote with respect
to the Global Notes representing the book-entry Notes. Under its
usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy (an &#147;Omnibus
Proxy&#148;) to us as soon as possible after the applicable
record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede &#38; Co.&#146;s
consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to
whose accounts the Notes are credited on the applicable record
date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on the Global
Notes representing the Notes will be made to DTC. DTC&#146;s
practice is to credit Direct Participants&#146; accounts upon
DTC&#146;s receipt of funds, on the applicable payment date in
accordance with the respective holdings of the Direct
Participants shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by
Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is the case with
securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or
registered in &#147;street name&#148;, and will be the
responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee
or the Company, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest to Cede &#38; Co. is
our responsibility or that of the Trustee, disbursement of such
payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of
DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners
shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or
liability for the disbursements of payments in respect of
ownership interests in the Notes by DTC or the Direct or
Indirect Participants or for maintaining or reviewing any
records of DTC or the Direct or Indirect Participants relating
to ownership interests in the Notes or the disbursements of
payments in respect thereof.

We have been informed by our Canadian counsel, McCarthy

Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein
permit an action to be brought in a court of competent
jurisdiction in the Province of British Columbia (a
&#147;British Columbia Court&#148;) on any final and conclusive
judgment in personam (i.e., against the person) of a Federal or
state court in the State of New York (&#147;New York
Court&#148;) against us that is subsisting and unsatisfied
respecting the enforcement of the Notes or the Indenture, that
is not impeachable as void or voidable under the laws of the
State of New York and that is for a sum certain if (1)&nbsp;the
New York Court that rendered such judgment had jurisdiction over
the judgment debtor, as recognized by a British Columbia Court
(and submission by us in the Notes or the Indenture to the
jurisdiction of the New York Court will be deemed sufficient for
this purpose); (2)&nbsp;proper service of process in respect of
the proceeding in which such judgment was made in accordance
with New York law; (3)&nbsp;such judgment was not obtained by
fraud or in a manner contrary to natural justice, and the
enforcement thereof would not be either inconsistent with public
policy, as the term is applied by a British Columbia Court, or
contrary to any order made by the Attorney General of Canada
under the <I>Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act </I>(Canada)
or contrary to any order made by the Competition Tribunal under
the <I>Competition Act </I>(Canada); (4)&nbsp;the enforcement of
such judgment in British Columbia does not constitute, directly
or indirectly, the enforcement of any laws of the State of New
York or of the United States of America which a British Columbia
Court would characterize as revenue, expropriatory, penal or
public laws; (5)&nbsp;in an action to enforce a default
judgment, the judgment does not contain a manifest error on its
face; (6)&nbsp;the action to enforce such judgment is commenced
within the applicable limitation period after the date of such
judgment; and (7)&nbsp;the judgment does not conflict with
another final and conclusive judgment in the same cause of
action; provided that a British Columbia Court may stay an
action to enforce a foreign judgment if an appeal of the
judgment is pending or the time for appeal has not expired; and
provided further that under the <I>Currency Act </I>(Canada), a
British Columbia Court may only give judgment in Canadian

In order to exercise either defeasance option with respect to
the Notes, we must irrevocably deposit in trust (the
&#147;defeasance trust&#148;) with the Trustee money or U.S.
Government Obligations for the full payment of principal,
premium (if any) and interest on the Notes to redemption or
maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other
conditions, including delivering to the Trustee: (1)&nbsp;an
Opinion of Counsel in the United States to the effect that
holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
deposit and defeasance and will be subject to United States
Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit
and defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of legal
defeasance only, such Opinion of Counsel must be based on a
ruling of the United States Internal Revenue Service or other
change in applicable United States Federal income tax law);
(2)&nbsp;an Opinion of Counsel in Canada to the effect that
(A)&nbsp;holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or
loss for Canadian federal or provincial income tax or other tax
purposes as a result of such legal defeasance or covenant
defeasance, as applicable, and will be subject to Canadian
federal and provincial income tax and other tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as
applicable, had not occurred, and (B)&nbsp;payments out of the
defeasance trust will be free and exempt from any and all
withholding and other income taxes of whatever nature of Canada
or any province thereof or political subdivision thereof or
therein having the power to tax, except in the case of a payment
made to a holder of the Notes (a)&nbsp;with which we do not deal
at arm&#146;s length (within the meaning of the <I>Income Tax
Act </I>(Canada)) at the time of the making of such payment or
(b)&nbsp;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 the Notes or the receipt
of payments thereunder; (3)&nbsp;a certificate from a nationally
recognized firm of independent accountants opining that the
payments of principal and interest when due and without
investment on the U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited
money without investment will provide cash at such times and in
such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal, premium
(if any) and interest when due on all the Notes to maturity or
redemption, as the case may be; and (4)&nbsp;an opinion of
counsel stating that the defeasance trust does not constitute,
or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In addition, we can
only exercise either type of defeasance if (1)&nbsp;during the
91&nbsp;days that follow the establishment of the defeasance
trust, no Default under the bankruptcy default provision occurs
to us and is continuing at the end of the period, (2)&nbsp;no
Default has occurred and is continuing on the date the
defeasance trust is established after giving effect to the
establishment of the defeasance trust, and (3)&nbsp;depositing
funds into the defeasance trust does not constitute a default
under any other of our binding agreements.

This discussion is general and does not consider the U.S.
federal income tax consequences of special classes of U.S.
Holders, including but not limited to dealers in securities or
currencies, banks, tax-exempt organizations, life insurance
companies, financial institutions, broker-dealers, U.S. Holders
holding the Notes as part of a constructive sale, wash sale,
conversion transaction or other integrated transaction or a
straddle, hedge or synthetic security, certain U.S. expatriates,
U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar or
pass-through entities (including partnerships and entities and
arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes) and beneficial owners of pass-through entities.
U.S. Holders who purchase Notes at a price other than the issue
price of the Notes should consult their tax advisors as to the
possible applicability to them of the amortizable bond premium
or market discount rules. If a partnership (or an entity or
arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income
tax purposes) holds Notes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment
of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the
status of the partner and the activities of the partnership, and
partnerships holding Notes should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of
purchasing, owning and disposing of the Notes. This summary does
not address the effect of any U.S. state, local, or federal
estate and gift tax on a U.S. Holder of the Notes. The summary
is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and
proposed regulations, and published rulings and court decisions,
all as in effect or in existence as of the date of this
prospectus supplement and all subject to change at any time,
possibly with retroactive effect.

Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their own tax
advisors concerning the consequences, in their particular

The gross amount of interest paid on the Notes (including any
Additional Amounts and any Canadian tax withheld therefrom) will
be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as ordinary
interest income at the time it is received or accrued, depending
on whether the holder uses the cash or accrual method of
accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Interest paid
by Methanex on the Notes will constitute foreign source income
and, for taxable years ending on or prior to December&nbsp;31,
2006, generally will be considered &#147;passive income&#148;
or, in the case of certain U.S. holders, &#147;financial
services income.&#148; For taxable years beginning after
December&nbsp;31, 2006, interest paid on the Notes will be
considered &#147;passive category income,&#148; or, in the case
of certain U.S. holders, &#147;general category income.&#148;
Each of these types of income is treated separately from other
types of income in computing the foreign tax credit allowable to
U.S. holders under U.S. federal income tax laws. The rules
relating to foreign tax credits are complex and the availability
of a foreign tax credit depends on numerous factors. Prospective
purchasers of the Notes should consult their own tax advisers
concerning the application of the United States foreign tax
credit rules to their particular situation.

<B>Sale, Exchange or Redemption and Other Disposition of the

Unless a nonrecognition provision of the U.S. federal income tax
laws applies, upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or
other taxable disposition of a Note, a U.S. Holder will
generally recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference
between the amount realized on the disposition (not including
any amounts received that are attributable to accrued and unpaid
interest, which are taxable as ordinary interest income in
accordance with the holder&#146;s method of accounting) and the
U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in the Note. A U.S. Holder&#146;s
tax basis in a Note will generally be its cost. Such gain or
loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the Note
for more than one year at the time of the disposition. Long-term
capital gains recognized by individuals and certain other
non-corporate U.S. Holders generally are eligible for reduced
rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is
subject to limitations. Capital gain or loss recognized by a
U.S. holder generally will be U.S. source gain or loss.

Payments of principal and interest on the Notes held by certain
non-corporate U.S. Holders and the proceeds of a disposition of
such Notes may be subject to U.S. information reporting
requirements. Such payments also may be subject to United States
backup withholding if the U.S. Holder does not provide a
taxpayer identification number or otherwise establish an
exemption. The U.S. Holder may credit the amounts withheld
against its United States federal income tax liability and claim
a refund for amounts withheld in excess of its tax liability.
U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to their
qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the
procedure for obtaining such an exemption.

<B>Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations</B>

The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal
income tax consequences generally applicable to a holder of
Notes acquired at original issuance who at all relevant times,
for the purposes of the <I>Income Tax Act</I> (Canada) (the
&#147;Act&#148;), is not resident in Canada, deals with us at
arm&#146;s length, holds the Notes as capital property and does
not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Notes in
carrying on a business in Canada (a &#147;Holder&#148;). For the
purposes of the Act, related persons (as therein defined) are
deemed not to deal at arm&#146;s length. It is generally a
question of fact whether persons not related to each other deal
at arm&#146;s length. This summary does not address the special
tax consequences which may apply to a Holder of Notes who is an
insurer carrying on business in Canada or elsewhere for the
purposes of the Act.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Act and
the regulations thereunder, our understanding of the current
published administrative and assessing practices of Canada
Customs and Revenue Agency, and all specific proposals to amend
the Act and the regulations publicly announced by the Minister
of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof. This summary is
not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax
considerations and does not otherwise take into account or
anticipate changes in the law, whether by judicial, governmental
or legislative decisions or action, nor does it take into
account tax legislation or considerations of any province or
territory of Canada or any jurisdiction other than Canada.

The payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, to a
Holder of the Notes will be exempt from Canadian withholding
tax. No other tax on income or capital gains will be payable
under the Act in respect of the holding, redemption or
disposition of the Notes by a Holder.

THIS SUMMARY IS OF A GENERAL NATURE ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE
LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER OF NOTES. NO

Notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be
offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the
cover of this Prospectus. Any Notes sold by the underwriters to
securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial
public offering price of up
to &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;%
of the principal amount of Notes. Any such securities dealers
may resell any Notes purchased from the underwriters to certain
other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial public
offering price of up
to &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;%
of the principal amount of Notes. If all the Notes are not sold
at the initial offering price, the underwriters may change the
offering price and the other selling terms.

This offering is being made in the United States pursuant to the
multijurisdictional disclosure system implemented by the
securities regulatory authorities in the United States and
Canada. This prospectus was filed with the British Columbia
Securities Commission, and forms part of a registration
statement on Form&nbsp;F-9 filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, to register the
Notes under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Act, and to qualify under the
securities laws of the Province of British Columbia the
distribution of the Notes being offered and sold in the United
States and elsewhere outside of Canada. This prospectus does not
qualify the distribution of any Notes which may be offered and
sold in any province of Canada, including the Province of
British Columbia. The Notes may only be offered or sold,
directly or indirectly, in Canada, or to or for the benefit of
any resident of Canada, pursuant to exemptions from the
prospectus requirements of Canadian securities laws, and only by
securities dealers registered in the applicable province or
pursuant to exemptions from the registered dealer requirements.
Subject to applicable law, the Notes may also be offered outside
of the United States and Canada.

The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established
trading market. We have been advised by the underwriters that
the underwriters intend to make a market in the Notes but are
not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any
time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the
liquidity of the trading market for the Notes.

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the underwriters
may purchase and sell Notes in the open market. These
transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions
and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short
sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number
of Notes than they are required to purchase in the offering of
the Notes. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or
purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of the Notes while the offering is
in progress.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when
a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of
the underwriting commission received by it because the
representatives have repurchased Notes sold by or for the
account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering
transactions.

These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or
otherwise affect the market price of the Notes. As a result, the
price of the Notes may be higher than the price that otherwise
might exist in the open market. If these activities are
commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any
time. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter
market or otherwise.

(1)&nbsp;it has not offered or sold and, prior to the expiry of
a period of six months from the closing of the offering of the
Notes, will not offer or sell any Notes to persons in the United

From time to time, the underwriters and certain of their

The underwriters are affiliates of banks which are lenders to us
under our unsecured revolving credit facility and to certain of
our subsidiaries under certain debt obligations. Consequently,
we may be considered to be a connected issuer of the
underwriters under applicable Canadian securities legislation.
We are in compliance with the terms of the agreement governing
the credit facility and our subsidiaries are in compliance with
the terms of the agreements governing their debt obligations.
See &#147;Description of Certain Indebtedness&#148;. None of the
underwriters nor the banks affiliated with them was involved in
our decision to distribute the Notes offered hereby. The

Under the <I>Canada Business Corporations Act
</I>(&#147;CBCA&#148;), which governs Methanex Corporation (the
&#147;Registrant&#148;), except in respect of an action by or on
behalf of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favour,
the Registrant may indemnify a director or officer of the
Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant or a
person who acts or acted at the Registrant&#146;s request as a
director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar
capacity, of another entity and his or her heirs and legal
representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses,
including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a
judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any
civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other
proceeding in which he or she is involved because of that
association with the Registrant or other entity and provided
that he or she 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 he or she acted
as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the
Registrant&#146;s request, and in the case of a criminal or
administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a
monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing
that his or her conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be
made in connection with a derivative action only with court
approval. A director or officer (or other individual as
described above) is entitled to indemnification from the
Registrant as a matter of right in respect of all costs, charges
and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or other proceeding to which he or she is made a
party because of their association with the Registrant or other
entity if such individual is not judged by the court or other
competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do
anything that the individual ought to have done and has
fulfilled the conditions set forth above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In accordance with and subject to the CBCA, the by-laws of the
Registrant provide that except in respect of any action by or on
behalf of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor, the
Registrant may indemnify a director or officer of the
Registrant, a former director or officer of the Registrant, or a
person who acts or acted at the Registrant&#146;s request as a
director or officer of a body corporate, 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 him or her
in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or
proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his
or her being or having been a director or officer of the
Registrant or such body corporate, if the director or officer
(a)&nbsp;acted honestly and in good faith with a view of the
best interests of the Registrant, and (b)&nbsp;in the case of a
criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced
by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that
his or her conduct was lawful. The Registrant has also entered
into indemnity agreements with its directors and officers which
provide substantially the same rights as provided for in the
CBCA.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Registrant maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146;
liability insurance which insures the directors and officers of
the Registrant and its subsidiaries against certain losses
resulting from any wrongful act committed in their official
capacities for which they become obligated to pay to the extent
permitted by applicable law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;) may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant
has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such
Act and is therefore unenforceable.

The Underwriting Agreement contains provisions by which the
Underwriters agree to indemnify the Registrant, each of the
directors and officers of the Registrant and each person who
controls the Registrant within the meaning of the Securities
Act, with respect to information furnished by the Underwriters
for use in this Registration Statement.

 Indenture dated as of July 20, 1995, between Methanex Corporation, as Issuer,
 and The Bank of New York (formerly United States Trust Company of New York),
             as Trustee, providing for the issue of Debt Securities

<PAGE>

                          SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

      THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this "Second Supplemental Indenture")
is made as of the 19th day of June, 2002, between Methanex Corporation (the
"Company") and The Bank of New York (formerly United States Trust Company of New
York), as trustee (the "Trustee").

      WHEREAS, by a trust indenture made as of July 20, 1995, between the
Company and the Trustee provision was made for the issue of securities of the
Company in one or more series (the "Original Indenture");

      WHEREAS under and in accordance with the terms of the Original Indenture,
there have heretofore been issued two series of securities;

      WHEREAS the Original Indenture provides that the aggregate principal
amount of securities which may be issued thereunder is unlimited but securities
may be issued only upon and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth
therein;

      WHEREAS the Company desires and may from time to time desire to issue Debt
Securities having the attributes and characteristics hereinafter set forth;

      WHEREAS the Company is not in default under the Original Indenture;

      WHEREAS all necessary acts and proceedings have been done and taken and
all necessary resolutions passed to authorize the execution and delivery of this
Second Supplemental Indenture and to make the same legal and valid and binding
upon the Company; and

      WHEREAS the foregoing recitals are made as representations and statements
of fact by the Company and not by the Trustee;

      WHEREAS the Company is permitted to enter into this Second Supplemental
Indenture pursuant to Section 9.01(j) of the Original Indenture;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and notwithstanding any
provision of the Indenture which, absent this Second Supplemental Indenture,
might operate to limit such action, the Company and the Trustee agree as follows
for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities:

                                   ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

            SECTION 1.01 DEFINITIONS.

      For all purposes of this Second Supplemental Indenture, except as
otherwise expressly provided or unless the subject matter or context otherwise
requires:

            "Debt Securities" has the meaning set forth in the Original
            Indenture, except that it shall not include the 7.40% Notes Due 2002
            or the 7.75% Notes Due 2005;

            "Original Indenture" means the trust indenture made as of July 20,
            1995 between the Company and the Trustee;

            "Second Supplemental Indenture" means this second supplemental
            indenture made as of June 19, 2002 between the Company and the
            Trustee in supplement to the Original Indenture;

            "Trust Indenture" means the Original Indenture as supplemented by
            this Second Supplemental Indenture and any other indenture, deed or
            instrument supplemental or ancillary thereto; and

<PAGE>

other terms and expressions used herein shall have the same meanings as
corresponding expressions defined in the Trust Indenture.

            SECTION 1.02 SCHEDULES.

      The following Schedule forms part of this Second Supplemental Indenture:

      Schedule I - Form of Debt Security

            SECTION 1.03 TO BE READ WITH ORIGINAL INDENTURE.

      This Second Supplemental Indenture is a supplemental indenture within the
meaning of the Original Indenture and the Original Indenture and this Second
Supplemental Indenture shall be read together and shall have effect, so far as
practicable, as though all the provisions of the Original Indenture and this
Second Supplemental Indenture were contained in one instrument.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                  SERIES NOTES

            SECTION 2.01 CESSATION OF APPLICABILITY OF SECTION 4.10 OF THE
ORIGINAL INDENTURE TO THE DEBT SECURITIES.

            Section 4.10 of the Original Indenture, as from time to time
supplemented and amended, shall not apply to Debt Securities of any series.

            SECTION 2.02 CHANGE OF CONTROL.

            The following is added as an additional covenant of the Company with
respect to any series of the Debt Securities, unless otherwise specified as to
that series pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Original Indenture:

                  (A)   Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering
Event, the Company shall make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each
Holder of Debt Securities of any series to which this Section 2.02 is applicable
to repurchase all or any part (equal to US$1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof) of each Holder's Debt Securities of such series at a purchase price
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (provided, however, that
installments of interest whose interest payment date is on or prior to the
Change of Control Payment Date, described below, shall be payable to the Holders
of the Debt Securities of such series registered as such at the close of
business on the regular record date for such interest according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 2.12 of the Indenture) (the "Change of Control
Payment"). A "Change of Control Triggering Event" shall be deemed to have
occurred if a Change of Control and a Rating Decline both occur. Within 30 days
following the occurrence of any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company
shall mail a notice to each Holder of Debt Securities of such series describing
the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering
Event and stating: (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant
to this Section 2.02 and that all Debt Securities of such series tendered will
be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which
shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such
notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date"); (3) that any Debt
Security of such series not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (4) that,
unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all
Debt Securities of such series accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment
Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Debt Securities of such series
purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender
the Debt Securities of such series to the paying agent at the address specified
in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding
the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders will be entitled to
withdraw their election if the paying agent receives, not later than the close
of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment
Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name
of the Holder, the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series

<PAGE>

delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its
election to have the Debt Securities of such series purchased; and (7) that
Holders whose Debt Securities are being purchased only in part will be issued
new Debt Securities of such series equal in principal amount to the unpurchased
portion of the Debt Securities of such series surrendered, which unpurchased
portion must be equal to US$1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple
thereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee, at least 15 days (or such shorter
period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the mailing of the Change of
Control Offer, of the Company's obligation to make the Change of Control Offer,
and the Change of Control Offer shall be mailed by the Company, or at the
Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.
The Company shall comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of and Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with the repurchase of Debt Securities as a result of a Change of Control
Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture,
the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
will not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue of such
conflict.

                  (B)   On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company

                     [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF DEBT SECURITY]

                              METHANEX CORPORATION

                          [-]% DEBT SECURITY DUE 20[-]

1.    Interest.

            Methanex Corporation, a Canadian corporation (such corporation, and
its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being
herein called the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount
of this Debt Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay
interest semiannually on [-] and [-] of each year. Interest on the Debt
Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid
or, if no interest has been paid, from -, -. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest
on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Debt Securities plus 1% per annum,
and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate
to the extent lawful.

2.    Method of Payment.

            The Company will pay interest on the Debt Securities (except
defaulted interest) to the persons who are registered holders of Debt Securities
at the close of business on the [-] or [-] next preceding the interest payment
date even if Debt Securities are cancelled after the record date and on or
before such interest payment date. Holders must surrender Debt Securities to a
Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and
interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Debt
Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and
interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of The Depository Trust Company as specified by The Depository Trust
Company. The Company will make all payments of interest in respect of the
definitive Debt Securities, by mailing a check to the registered address of each
Holder thereof.

3.    Paying Agent and Registrar.

            Initially, The Bank of New York, a New York corporation authorized
to do a banking business ("Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.
The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar
without notice. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated wholly owned
Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

4.    Indenture.

            The Company issued the Debt Securities under an Indenture dated as
of July 20, 1995 ("Original Indenture"), as supplemented by a Second
Supplemental Indenture dated June -, 2002 ("Second Supplemental Indenture",
together with the Original Indenture, the "Indenture"), between the Company and
the Trustee. The terms of the Debt Securities include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Section. 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date
of the Indenture (the "Act"). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined
herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Debt Securities
are subject to all such terms, and Debt Securityholders are referred to the
Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms.

            The Debt Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company
unlimited in amount (subject to Section 2.07 of the Original Indenture). The
Original Indenture imposes certain limitations on the creation of Liens by the
Company and the Subsidiaries, sale and leaseback transactions, transactions with
respect to Unrestricted Subsidiaries, and the ability of the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary that is Guarantor to merge with or into another entity.
The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and
exceptions.

<PAGE>

5.    Optional Redemption.

            The Debt Securities may not be redeemed prior to maturity at the
option of the Company.

6.    Special Tax Redemption.

            If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws
(including any regulations promulgated thereunder) of Canada (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or
amendment to, any official position regarding the application or interpretation
of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment is announced or becomes
effective on or after [-], [-] the Company has become or would become obligated
to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to
the Debt Securities, any Additional Amounts in accordance with Section 4.07 of
the Original Indenture, then the Company may, at its option, redeem the Debt
Securities, as a whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the
redemption date; provided that the Company shall have determined, in its
business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be
avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company, not
including substitution of the obligor under the Debt Securities.

7.    Notice of Redemption.

            Notice of redemption will be mailed not less than 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Debt Securities
to be redeemed at his registered address. Debt Securities in denominations
larger than U.S.$1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
U.S.$1,000. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and
unpaid interest (if any) on all Debt Securities (or portions thereof) to be
redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before
the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after
such date interest ceases to accrue on such Debt Securities (or such portions
thereof) called for redemption.

8.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

            The Debt Securities are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of U.S.$1,000 and whole multiples of U.S.$1,000. A Holder may
transfer or exchange Debt Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The
Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law
or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of
or exchange any Debt Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of
a Debt Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Debt Security not to
be redeemed) or any Debt Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection
of Debt Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

9.    Persons Deemed Owners.

            The registered holder of this Debt Security may be treated as the
owner of it for all purposes.

10.   Unclaimed Money.

            If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed
for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the
Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another
person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to
the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

11.   Defeasance.

            Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate
some or all of its and each Guarantor's obligations under the Debt Securities
and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S.
Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Debt
Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

<PAGE>

12.   Amendment, Waiver.

            Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the
Indenture or the Debt Securities may be amended with respect to the Debt
Securities of a series with the consent of the Holders of a least a majority in
principal amount outstanding of the Debt Securities of such series and (ii) any
default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Debt
Securities of such series. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the
Indenture, without the consent of any Debt Securityholder, the Company and the
Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Debt Securities of a series to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article X of the
Original Indenture, or to add guarantees with respect to the Debt Securities of
such series or to secure the Debt Securities of such series, or to add
additional covenants or to surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company
or the Subsidiaries, or to comply with any requirement of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the qualification of the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, or to make any change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Debt Securityholder of such series in any
material respect.

13.   Defaults and Remedies.

            Under the Indenture, Events of Default with respect to a series of
Debt Securities include (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the
Debt Securities of such series (including any Additional Amounts when due); (ii)
default in payment of principal on the Debt Securities of such series at
maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration or otherwise, or failure by the
Company to redeem or purchase Debt Securities of such series when required
pursuant to the Indenture or the Debt Securities of such series; (iii) failure
by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to comply with other agreements in the
Indenture or the Debt Securities of such series, in certain cases subject to
notice and lapse of time; (iv) certain accelerations (including failure to pay
within any grace period after final maturity) of other Debt of the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds
U.S.$10,000,000; (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to
the Company or a Significant Subsidiary; and (vi) except as otherwise provided
in the Indenture, any Guarantee ceasing to be in full force and effect, or being
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority to be
invalid or unenforceable. If an Event of Default with respect to a series of
Debt Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series may
declare all the Debt Securities of such series to be due and payable
immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default
that will result in the Debt Securities of a series being due and payable
immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

            Debt Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Debt
Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to
enforce the Indenture or the Debt Securities unless it receives reasonable
indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities may direct the Trustee in
its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Debt
Securityholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of
principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest.

14.   Trustee Dealings with the Company.

            Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee under
the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Debt Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations
owed to it by the Company or its affiliates and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.

15.   Guarantees.

            The Company has covenanted pursuant to the Indenture, subject to
certain exceptions, to cause any Restricted Subsidiary that Incurs Indebtedness
to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee Agreement pursuant to which
such Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee this Debt Security on the same terms
and conditions as those set forth in Exhibit B to the Indenture.

<PAGE>

16.        No Recourse Against Others.

            A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the
Company or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Company under the Debt Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a
Debt Security, each Holder of a Debt Security waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of
the Debt Securities.

17.   Authentication.

            This Debt Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory
of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of
authentication on the other side of this Debt Security.

18.        Abbreviations.

            Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a
Debt Security or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT
(=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship
and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act).

19.   CUSIP Numbers.

            Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be
printed on the Debt Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers
in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders. No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Debt Securities
or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers placed thereon.

20.   Governing Law.

            EACH DEBT SECURITY AND EACH COUPON SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE NEW YORK
CONTRACTS, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF SAID STATE (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS).

            THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH TO ANY HOLDER OF A DEBT SECURITY UPON
WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE HOLDER OF A DEBT SECURITY A COPY OF
THE INDENTURE WHICH HAS IN IT THE TEXT OF THIS DEBT SECURITY IN LARGE TYPE.
