SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS
Exercisable to Acquire Class A Voting Common Shares
of
IMAGICTV INC.
(Incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act)
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, Aliant Horizons Inc. (the "holder")
is the registered holder of 287,404 share purchase warrants ("Warrants") of
ImagicTV Inc. ("ImagicTV") and is thereby entitled, without payment of any
additional consideration, to be issued a number of fully paid and non-assessable
Class A voting common shares in the capital of ImagicTV ("Common Shares") for
each Warrant held determined on the following basis (subject to adjustment as
provided herein): (A) if ImagicTV completes a private placement of Common Shares
to investors (other than current shareholders) (the "Outside Investor Round
Private Placement") prior to the Expiry Time (as hereinafter defined), the
holder will receive a number of Common Shares per Warrant equal to US $14.20
divided by the price per share paid by subscribers in the Outside Investor Round
Private Placement, or (B) if the Outside Investor Round Private Placement is not
completed prior to the Expiry Time, the holder will receive one Common Share per
Warrant. The Warrant may be exercised by surrendering to ImagicTV at its address
as provided herein prior to the Expiry Time, this Warrant Certificate, with a
notice of exercise in the form set forth in Appendix 1 annexed here duly
completed and executed.
Surrender of this Warrant Certificate will be deemed to have been effected only
on personal delivery thereof to, or, if sent by mail or other means of
transmission, on actual receipt thereof by ImagicTV at its address as provided
herein.
The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may be exercised by the
holder until 5:00 p.m. (Saint John, New Brunswick time) (the "Expiry Time") on
the earlier of (i) the date of the completion of the Outside Investor Round
Private Placement, and (ii) September 29, 2000, provided that if such Warrants
have not been exercised by the Expiry Time, such Warrants will be deemed to have
been exercised by the holder (without any further action on the part of the
holder or ImagicTV) immediately prior to the Expiry Time. Warrant Certificates
may thereafter be surrendered in exchange for certificates representing Common
Shares to which the holder is entitled.
On and after the date of any exercise or deemed exercise of the Warrants
evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the holder will have no rights hereunder
except to receive a certificate representing the Common Shares thereby issued to
the holder upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate to ImagicTV at its address
as provided herein.
ImagicTV will not be obligated to issue any fraction of a Common Share on the
exercise or deemed exercise of Warrants. To the extent that a holder of Warrants
would otherwise have been entitled to acquire a fractional number of Common
Shares, the number of Common Shares which such holder is entitled to receive
shall be rounded down to the prior whole number.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
THEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF

Warrant Certificate being exchanged.
This Warrant is not transferable by the holder except with the written consent
of a majority of the directors of ImagicTV. ImagicTV will be entitled, to refuse
