1. Introduction

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Rogers
Communications Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted these Director Material
Relationship Standards for the purpose of assisting the Board in making determinations
whether or not a direct or indirect business, commercial, banking, consulting,
professional or charitable relationship that a director may have with the
Company (which for the purposes of these Standards includes its subsidiaries)
is a material relationship that could, in the view of the Board, reasonably
interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment.

2. Standard of Director Relationships

Any business, commercial, industrial,
banking, consulting, professional, charitable or service relationship that may
exist between the Company and a director of the Company, or between the Company
and an entity of which the director is a director, executive officer, partner
or managing member, shall be in the ordinary course of business of the Company
and on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons on an arm’s length basis.

3. Materiality Standards

The following relationships will be considered to be
material in respect of any director:

(a) The
director has, within the preceding 3 fiscal years of the Company, been a
provider of consulting, professional, investment banking, advisory or other
services to the Company and the total direct compensation of the director from
the Company in respect of those services in each such fiscal year amounted to
more than U.S. $100,000 (other than payments arising from acting in his or her
capacity as a director of the Company including as a part-time Chair or Vice
Chair of the Board or a committee of the Board).

(b) The
director has, within the preceding 3 fiscal years of the Company, been a
director, executive officer, partner or managing member of an entity that has
or had a business, commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, professional or
service relationship with the Company and, pursuant to that relationship, the
aggregate annual sales or billings from that entity to the Company, or from the
Company to that entity, in each of the 3 most recently completed fiscal years of
that entity, amounted to more than the greater of 2 percent of that entity’s
consolidated gross revenues and U.S. $1,000,000.

4. Other Director Relationships

If a director has any other direct
or indirect relationship with the Company other than those set forth in 3(a) or
(b) above the Board will make a determination whether that director has a
material relationship with the Company based on a consideration of all relevant
facts and circumstances.

5. Interpretation

For the purposes of these Standards, the terms used
herein shall have the following meanings:

(a) “entity” — includes a body corporate, a partnership, a trust,
a joint venture or an unincorporated association or organization;

(b) “subsidiary”
— a body corporate is a subsidiary of another body corporate if (a) it is
controlled by (i) that other body corporate, (ii)
that other body corporate and one or more bodies corporate each of which is
controlled by that body corporate, or (iii) two or more bodies corporate each
of which is controlled by that other body corporate, or (b) it is a subsidiary
of a body corporate that is a subsidiary of that other body corporate.
