Pursuant to the letter of transmittal, each holder of Old Notes will represent to Vidéotron that (i) the New Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving such New Notes, whether or not such person is such holder, (ii) neither the holder of the Old Notes nor any such other person has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such New Notes, (iii) if the holder or any such other person is not a broker-dealer or is a broker-dealer but will not receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, it is not engaged in and does not intend to participate in a distribution of the New Notes and (iv) neither the holder nor any such other person is an "affiliate" of Vidéotron within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act or, if such person is an "affiliate," that such person may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in no-action letters to third parties described under "The Exchange Offer — Resale of the New Notes" in the Prospectus and will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable. If the tendering holder or any such other person is a broker-dealer (whether or not it is also an "affiliate" of Vidéotron within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that will receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, we will represent on behalf of such broker-dealer that the Old Notes to be exchanged for the New Notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and acknowledge on behalf of such broker-dealer that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such New Notes. By acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such New Notes, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
Very truly yours,
