If applicable, the Purchaser and the REIT will, prior to the Effective Date, acting reasonably, agree to an allocation of the consideration paid by the Purchaser pursuant to the Arrangement to the underlying assets of the REIT for purposes of determining transfer taxes payable in connection with the Arrangement, which allocation will generally be based on the most recent balance sheet of the REIT. Without limiting the foregoing, the REIT shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, in a timely manner, any information reasonably requested by the Purchaser to enable the Purchaser to determine whether, and in what amount, transfer taxes are payable in connection with the Arrangement.

(f) the REIT will ensure that each REIT Securityholder entitled to receive Parent Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be given adequate and appropriate notice advising them of their right to attend the hearing of the Court to give approval to the Arrangement and providing them with sufficient information necessary for them to exercise that right;

(g) all Persons entitled to receive Parent Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be advised that such Parent Shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and will be issued by the Parent in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, and shall be without trading restrictions under the U.S. Securities Act (other than those that would apply under the U.S. Securities Act in certain circumstances to Persons who are, or have been within 90 days of the date at which the Arrangement is approved at the REIT Meetings or the Effective Time, or, on or after the Effective Time, become affiliates (as defined by Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act) of the Parent);

(j) the Court will hold a hearing before approving the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and issuing the Final Order; and

25


amended, from the registration requirements otherwise imposed by that Act, regarding the issuance and distribution of securities of the Parent pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement."

4.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, subject to Law and the terms of any existing Contracts, the REIT will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, give the Parent and its representatives, upon reasonable notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to their: (i) premises (subject to the rights of any tenants occupying space at the Owned Real Property); (ii) property and assets (including all books and records, whether retained internally or otherwise); (iii) Contracts; and (iv) senior personnel, or other information with respect to the assets or business of the REIT or its Subsidiaries as the Parent may from time to time reasonably request; provided that: (A) the Parent provides the REIT with reasonable prior notice of any request under this Section 4.6(a); (B) access to any materials contemplated in this Section 4.6(a) (other than the materials provided to

36


the Purchaser in an electronic data room or share file) will be provided during the REIT's normal business hours only; and (C) such access does not unduly interfere with the Ordinary Course conduct of the business of the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the REIT shall not be obligated to provide access to, or to disclose, any information if it reasonably determines that such access or disclosure would jeopardize any solicitor-client or other privilege claim by the REIT or its Subsidiaries, provided that, to the extent any information is withheld due to a potential waiver of such privilege, the REIT shall notify the Parent of the nature of the information which is being withheld and the basis for privilege and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate disclosure of such information, including entering into common interest privilege agreements or other arrangements, as appropriate.

(c) The Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement and any common interest privilege agreement or other arrangement referred to in Section 4.6(b) continues to apply and that any information provided under this Section 4.6 will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement or arrangement. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and any common interest privilege agreement or other arrangement referred to in Section 4.6(c) will survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.7 Public Communications

The REIT and the Parent shall publicly announce the Arrangement promptly following the execution of this Agreement by the Parties hereto, the text and timing of such announcements to be approved by each Party in advance, acting reasonably and in good faith. Thereafter, a Party will not issue any press release or make any other public statement or disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement without the consent of the other Parties (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that the foregoing will be subject to each Party's overriding obligation to make any disclosure or filing in accordance with Law, including Securities Laws, and if such disclosure or filing is required and the other Parties have not reviewed or commented on the disclosure or filing, the Party will use its reasonable efforts to give the other Parties prior oral or written notice and a reasonable opportunity to review or comment on the disclosure or filing (other than with respect to confidential information contained in such disclosure or filing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the REIT and the Parent may have discussions with the REIT Securityholders, financial analysts and other stakeholders relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by it, provided that such discussions are not inconsistent with the most recent press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the REIT or the Parent. The Parties acknowledge that the REIT and the Parent will file this Agreement, the Voting Support Agreements and a material change report relating thereto on SEDAR+.

4.8 Notice and Cure Provisions

(a) Each Party will promptly notify the other Parties of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be reasonably likely to:

(i) cause any of the representations or warranties of such Party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or on the Effective Date; or


(ii) result in the failure, in any material respect, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Party under this Agreement.

(b) The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.8 will not affect the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of the Parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

(c) Neither the Parent nor the Purchaser may elect to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv)(A) and the REIT may not elect to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii)(A) unless the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement (the "Terminating Party") has delivered a written notice ("Termination Notice") to the other Parties (the "Breaching Party") specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the Terminating Party asserts as the basis for termination. After delivering a Termination Notice, provided the Breaching Party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter and such matter is capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date, the Terminating Party may not exercise such termination right until the earlier of (i) the Outside Date; (ii) the date that is twenty Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice by the Breaching Party, if such matter has not been cured by such date. If the Terminating Party delivers a Termination Notice prior to the date of the REIT Meeting, unless the Parties otherwise agree, the REIT will postpone or adjourn the REIT Meetings to the earlier of (iii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Outside Date; and (iv) the date that is 10 Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice by the Breaching Party.

4.9 Insurance and Indemnification

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Parent and the Purchaser will cause the REIT (or its successor) to honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of all present and former trustees, directors and officers of the REIT and its Subsidiaries (each, an "Indemnified Person") to the extent that they are: (i) included in the Constating Documents of the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries; or (ii) disclosed in Section 4.9(a) of the REIT Disclosure Letter (including, for greater certainty, the indemnity agreements described therein), and acknowledges that such rights, to the extent that they are included in the Constating Documents of the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or disclosed in Section 4.9(a) of the REIT Disclosure Letter, shall survive the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Date.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the REIT shall obtain and fully prepay the premium for the extension of customary: (a) trustees', directors' and officers' liability coverage of the REIT's and its Subsidiaries' existing trustees', directors' and officers' insurance policies; and (b) the REIT's existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case for a claims reporting or run-off and extended reporting period and claims reporting period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time.

(c) This Section 4.9 shall survive the consummation of the Arrangement and is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives and shall be binding on the

38


Parties and their successors and assigns, and, for such purpose, the REIT hereby confirms that it is acting as agent and trustee on behalf of the Indemnified Persons.

4.10 Pre-Acquisition Reorganization

Any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall be effective on a day as close as reasonably practicable to the Effective Date and, in any event, following the receipt of any Regulatory Approvals.

(b) The Parent shall provide written notice to the REIT of any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization at least 10 Business Days prior to the Effective Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parties shall work co-operatively and use their commercially reasonable efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do all such other acts and things as are necessary to give effect to such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, including effecting any necessary amendments to the Plan of Arrangement, if any, to the extent permitted by the Plan of Arrangement or this Agreement.

(c) The Parent hereby indemnifies the REIT, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, trustees, directors and employees for all costs or losses, liabilities, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest awards, judgments and penalties, including any adverse Tax consequences, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including out-of-pocket legal fees and disbursements, suffered or incurred in connection with or as a result of any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization or the unwinding of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.

(d) The Parent and the Purchaser waive any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by the REIT, where such breach is a result of an action taken by the REIT or a Subsidiary reasonably and in good faith pursuant to a request by the Parent in accordance with this Section 4.10.

5.2 Notification of Acquisition Proposals

If the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives receives any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any request for copies of, access to, or disclosure of, confidential information relating to the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, including information, access, or disclosure relating to the

41


properties, facilities, books or records of the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries, the REIT will promptly notify the Parent, at first orally, and then as soon as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) in writing, of:

(i) the REIT Board first determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal;

(ii) prior to providing any such copies, access, or disclosure, the REIT enters into a confidentiality agreement with such Person having terms that are, in the aggregate, not less onerous than those set out in the Confidentiality Agreement and any such copies, access or disclosure provided to such Person will have already been (or will reasonably promptly be) provided to the Parent; provided that such confidentiality agreement need not include any provision to the extent such provision would prohibit or purport to prohibit a confidential proposal being made to the REIT Board or any committee thereof;

(iii) the REIT promptly provides the Parent with a copy of the confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.3(a)(ii);

(iv) such Acquisition Proposal does not result from a breach by the REIT of its obligations under this Article 5; and

(v) such Person was not restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing standstill or similar restriction.

42


(b) Nothing contained in this Article 5 will prohibit the REIT Board (or any committee thereof) from making disclosure to REIT Securityholders as required by Law or if the REIT Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, including complying with section 2.17 of Multilateral Instrument 62-104 – Takeover Bids and Issuer Bids and similar provisions under Securities Laws relating to the provision of a trustees' circular in respect of an Acquisition Proposal, or calling or holding a meeting of REIT Securityholders requisitioned by REIT Securityholders in accordance with the Declaration of Trust or taking any other action with respect to an Acquisition Proposal to the extent ordered or otherwise mandated by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Law; provided that (i) the foregoing will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that the making of such disclosure would otherwise have under this Agreement, including whether such actions constitute a Change in Recommendation; and (ii) the REIT shall provide the Parent and its outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any disclosure to be made pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) and shall give reasonable consideration to comments made by the Parent and their outside legal counsel.

5.4 Alternative Transaction Agreement; Matching Period

(a) If the REIT receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to obtaining the Required REIT Securityholder Approval, the REIT Board may, subject to compliance with Section 8.2, recommend such Superior Proposal and/or authorize the REIT to accept, approve or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(i) the Superior Proposal did not result from a breach by the REIT of its obligations under this Article 5;

(ii) the REIT has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under this Article 5;

(iii) such Person was not restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure or similar restriction;

(iv) the REIT has delivered to the Parent a written notice of the good faith determination of the REIT Board, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the REIT Board to recommend such Superior Proposal and/or accept, approve or enter into an Alternative Transaction Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, together with a written notice from the REIT Board regarding the value and financial terms that the REIT Board, in consultation with its financial advisors, has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such Superior Proposal (the "Superior Proposal Notice");

(v) the REIT has provided the Parent with a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal (if any) and all supporting materials, including any financing documents, supplied to the REIT and its Subsidiaries in connection therewith;

43


(vi) at the end of the Matching Period, the REIT Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel (and taking into account any amendment or modification to the terms of the Arrangement or this Agreement that the Parent has agreed in writing to make), that (A) such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (B) the failure by the REIT Board to recommend that the REIT enter into an Alternative Transaction Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; and

(vii) in the case of an Alternative Transaction Agreement, prior to or concurrently with entering into an Alternative Transaction Agreement, the REIT terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii)(B) and pays the Termination Amount pursuant to Section 8.2.

(b) During the Matching Period: (i) the Parent will have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of the Arrangement and this Agreement; (ii) the REIT Board will review any such offer made by the Parent to amend the terms of the Arrangement and this Agreement in good faith in order to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal; and (iii) if it would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, the REIT will negotiate in good faith with the Parent to make such amendments to the terms of the Arrangement and this Agreement as would enable the Parent to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms. If the REIT Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the REIT will promptly so advise the Parent and the Parties will amend this Agreement to reflect such offer made by the Parent, and will take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

(c) Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or a modification to, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by REIT Securityholders or other material terms or conditions thereof will constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 5.4, and the Parent will be afforded an additional five (5) Business Day matching period from the date on which the Parent received the Superior Proposal Notice.

(d) The REIT Board will promptly reaffirm the REIT Board Recommendation by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is determined to not be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or the REIT Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement as contemplated under Section 5.4(b) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The REIT will provide the Parent and its legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and will give reasonable consideration to any comments from the Parent and its legal counsel thereon.

(e) If the REIT provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the Parent on a date that is less than five (5) Business Days before the REIT Meetings, the REIT will at the request of Parent, acting reasonably, postpone the REIT Meetings to a date that is not more than ten (10) Business Days after the scheduled date of the REIT Meetings (and, in any event, prior to the Outside Date).

44


5.5

Breach by Subsidiaries and Representatives

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the REIT will advise its Subsidiaries and its Representatives of the prohibitions set out in this Article 5 and any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Article 5 by the REIT's Subsidiaries or the REIT's Representatives is deemed to be a breach of this Article 5 by the REIT.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

This Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before or after the holding of the REIT Meetings but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties, without further notice to or authorization on the part of REIT Securityholders and any such amendment may, subject to the Interim Order and the Final Order and Law:

(a) change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the Parties;
(b) modify any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement;


(c) modify any of the covenants contained in this Agreement and waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the Parties; and or,
(d) modify any mutual conditions contained in this Agreement.

8.2 Termination Amount

(a) Despite any other provision in this Agreement relating to the payment of fees and expenses, including the payment of brokerage fees, if a Termination Amount Event occurs, the REIT will pay the Termination Amount to the Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.2(c).

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, "Termination Amount" means $1,000,000, and "Termination Amount Event" means the termination of this Agreement:

(i) by the REIT pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii)(B) [Superior Proposal];
(ii) by the Parent, pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv)(B) as a result of a Change in Recommendation [Change in Recommendation]; or
(iii) by the REIT pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii)(A) [Failure of REIT Securityholders to Approve] or Section 7.2(a)(ii)(C) [Occurrence of the Outside Date], or by the Parent pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv)(A) [Breach of Representation or Warranty or Failure to Perform Covenant by the REIT] as a result of a Willful Breach if:

(A) (1) following the date hereof and prior to such termination, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal is proposed, offered or made or publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by any Person other than the Parent, the Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates or any Person other than the Parent, the Purchaser or any of their affiliates shall have publicly announced an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal; and (2) within 12 months following the date of such termination, (y) an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (A)(1) above) is consummated, or (z) the REIT or one or more of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions, enters into a definitive agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal and such Acquisition Proposal is later consummated (whether or not within 12 months after such termination).

For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Acquisition Proposal" will have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.1, except that references to "20% or more" will be deemed to be references to "50% or more".

(c) The Termination Amount will be paid by the REIT as follows, by wire transfer of immediately available funds:

(i) if a Termination Amount Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement described in Section 8.2(b)(i), concurrently with such termination;
(ii) if a Termination Amount Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement described in Section 8.2(b)(ii), within ten Business Days of the occurrence of such Termination Amount Event; or

51


(iii) if a Termination Amount Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement described in Section 8.2(b)(iii)(A), upon the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal referred to in Section 8.2(b)(iii)(A).

(d) In no event will the REIT be obligated to pay the Termination Amount on more than one occasion. Any Termination Amount shall be paid, or caused to be paid, by the REIT to the Parent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Parent.

(e) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements the Parent and the Purchaser would not enter into this Agreement, and that the amounts set out in this Section 8.2 are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, including opportunity costs, which the Parent and the Purchaser will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination of this Agreement, and are not penalties. The REIT irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such amounts are excessive or punitive.

(f) Each of the Parent and the Purchaser agree that the payment of the Termination Amount in the manner provided in this Section 8.2 is the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Parent and the Purchaser and their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, security holders, financing sources, agents, managers, trustees, directors, officers or affiliates (collectively, "Purchaser Related Parties") in respect of the event giving rise to such payment and the termination of this Agreement, and following receipt of the Termination Amount, neither the Parent, the Purchaser nor any Purchaser Related Party will be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the REIT or any of its former, current or future partners, REIT Unitholders or any other security holder, general or limited partner, financing source, managers, agents, trustees, directors, officers or affiliates (collectively, the "REIT Related Parties") arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (or the termination hereof) or the transactions contemplated herein and neither the REIT nor any of the REIT Related Parties will have any further liability with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to the Parent, the Purchaser or any Purchaser Related Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, while the Parent and the Purchaser may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.6 and the payment of the Termination Amount under Section 8.2, under no circumstances will the Parent or the Purchaser be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance of the REIT's obligation to complete the transactions contemplated hereby and any monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Termination Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2(f), and no payment of any such amount, shall relieve or have the effect of relieving any party in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by any other party as a result of an intentional or Willful Breach of this Agreement, including the intentional, wilful or fraudulent making of a representation or intentional or wilful noncompliance with a covenant of this Agreement.

8.3 Expenses

Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, all out-of-pocket third party transaction expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, including all costs, expenses and fees of the REIT incurred prior to or after the Effective Date in connection

52


with, or incidental to, the Plan of Arrangement, will be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Arrangement is consummated.

8.5 Time of the Essence

Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

8.6 Injunctive Relief

Subject to Section 8.2(f), (i) the Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by a Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by a Party; and (ii) it is accordingly agreed that each Party will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to specifically enforce compliance with, or performance of, the terms of this Agreement against the other Parties without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which a Party may be entitled at Law or in equity.

8.7 Third Party Beneficiaries

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.9 or Section 8.14, each of which, without limiting any of the respective terms thereof, is intended as stipulations for the benefit of the third Persons mentioned in such provisions (such third Persons referred to in this Section 8.7 as the "Third Party Beneficiaries"), the Parties intend that this Agreement will not benefit or create any right or cause of action in favour of any Person, other than the Parties and that no Person, other than the Parties, will be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent acknowledges to each of the Third Party Beneficiaries their direct rights against it under Section 4.9 and Section 8.14, respectively, each of which, without limiting any of the respective terms thereof, is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Third Party Beneficiary, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives, and for such purpose, the REIT confirms that it is acting as trustee on their behalf, and agrees to enforce such provision on their behalf.

54


8.8 Waiver

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party's failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

8.9 Entire Agreement

This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that to the extent any provisions of the Confidentiality Agreements conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail) constitute the entire agreement between the REIT and ArrangementCo, on the one hand, and the Parent and the Purchaser, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and cancels and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, between the REIT and ArrangementCo, on the one hand, and the Parent and the Purchaser, on the other hand. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or other agreements, express or implied, collateral, statutory or otherwise, between the REIT and ArrangementCo, on the one hand, and the Parent and the Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

8.10 Successors and Assigns

(a) This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by the Parties. After that time, it will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, provided however that the Parent and Purchaser (or any permitted assign of the Parent or the Purchaser) may, at any time, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without such consent to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent if such assignee delivers an instrument in writing confirming that it is bound by and will perform all of the obligations of the assigning party under this Agreement as if it were an original signatory and provided further that the Parent will not be relieved of its obligations hereunder.

8.11 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

(ii) to the REIT, the aggregate amount to be paid by the REIT to former REIT Deferred Unitholders in accordance with Section 2.3(m), which cash will be held by the REIT for the benefit of the Purchaser until the Effective Time, and after the time for completion of the step in Section 2.3(l) such cash will be held by the REIT, and after the time for completion of the step in Section 2.3(m), such cash will be held by the REIT for the benefit of former REIT Deferred Unitholders for distribution thereto (and remittance of applicable withholding taxes and source deductions) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1.

(b) Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or DRS Advice which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding REIT Trust Units that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3(o) or Section 2.3(p), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the REIT Trust Unitholder(s) surrendering such certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary will deliver to such REIT Trust Unitholder(s), the REIT Unitholder Consideration which such REIT Unitholder(s) has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such REIT Trust Units, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 3.5, and any certificate or DRS Advice so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled.

(c) Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or DRS Advice which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding REIT Debentures that were settled pursuant to Section 2.3(n), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the REIT Debentureholder(s) surrendering such certificate or DRS Advice will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary will deliver to such REIT Debentureholder(s), the REIT Debentureholder Consideration and, if applicable, the Early Consenting Debentureholder Consideration, which such REIT Debentureholder(s) has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such REIT Units, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 3.5, and any certificate or DRS Advice so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled.

(e) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.1, each certificate or DRS Advice that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented REIT Trust Units or REIT Debentures, will be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Parent Shares in lieu of such certificate or DRS Advice as contemplated in this Section 3.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 3.5. Any such certificate or DRS Advice formerly representing REIT Trust Units or REIT Debentures not duly surrendered on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date will cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former holder of REIT Trust Units or REIT Debentures, as applicable, of any kind or nature against or in the REIT, the Purchaser or the Parent. On such date, all Consideration to which such former holder was entitled will be deemed to have been surrendered to the Purchaser or the REIT, as applicable, and will be paid over by the Depositary to the Purchaser or as directed by the Purchaser.

(f) Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary (or the REIT, if applicable) pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary (or the REIT) or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the second anniversary of the Effective Date will cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive the applicable consideration for the REIT Deferred Units pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement will terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser or the REIT, as applicable, for no consideration.

(g) No REIT Unitholder or REIT Debentureholder will be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such REIT Units or REIT Debentures, other than the Parent Shares to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.3 and this Section 3.1 and, no such holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith.

(h) No REIT Deferred Unitholder will be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such REIT Deferred Units, other than the REIT Deferred Unit Payment to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.3 and this Section 3.1 (subject to Section 3.5) and no such holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith.

3.2 Fractional Shares and Cash

(a) In no event shall the aggregate number of Parent Shares issuable to a REIT Securityholder pursuant to Section 2.3 include a fraction of a share. To the extent that a fraction of a share would otherwise be issuable to a REIT Securityholder, the number of Parent Shares to be received by such REIT Securityholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Parent Share and the REIT Securityholder shall not receive any compensation in respect thereof.

A-19


(b) In any case where the total cash payable to a particular REIT Deferred Unitholder under the Arrangement would, but for this provision, include a fraction of a cent, the consideration payable shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent.

3.3 Adjustment to Consideration

3.4 Lost Certificates

In the event any certificate or DRS Advice which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding REIT Trust Units or REIT Debentures, as applicable, that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3 is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate or DRS Advice to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or DRS Advice, the REIT Unitholder Consideration, REIT Debentureholder Consideration, and/or Early Consenting Debentureholder Consideration, as applicable, that such REIT Trust Unitholder or REIT Debentureholder has the right to receive in accordance with Section 2.3 and such REIT Trust Unitholder or REIT Debentureholder's Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or DRS Advice, the Person to whom such REIT Unitholder Consideration, REIT Debentureholder Consideration and/or Early Consenting Debentureholder Consideration is to be delivered will as a condition precedent to the delivery thereof, give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) in such sum as the Purchaser may direct (acting reasonably), or otherwise indemnify the Purchaser, the Parent, ArrangementCo and the REIT in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser, the Parent, ArrangementCo and the REIT (each acting reasonably) against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser, the Parent, ArrangementCo and the REIT with respect to the certificate or DRS Advice alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

3.5 Withholding Rights

Any such amounts will be deducted, withheld and remitted from the amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement and will be treated for all purposes under this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid or delivered to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity. Each of the REIT, the Purchaser, the Parent and the Depositary is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of Parent Shares payable as Consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the REIT, the Purchaser, the Parent or the Depositary, as applicable, to enable it to implement such deduction or withholding, and the REIT, the Purchaser, the Parent or the Depositary, as applicable, will notify the holder thereof and remit to the holder any unapplied balance

A-20


of the net proceeds of such sale. None of the Purchaser, the Parent, the REIT, ArrangementCo or the Depositary shall be liable for any loss arising out of any such sale, including any loss relating to the manner or timing of such sales, the prices at which the Parent Shares are sold or otherwise.

3.6 No Liens

Any exchange, issuance or transfer of securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement will be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind.

All monies received by the Depositary shall be invested by it in interest bearing trust accounts upon such terms as the Depositary may reasonably deem appropriate. Subject to this Section 3.7, the Depositary shall pay and deliver to any such holder, as soon as reasonably practicable after application therefor is made by such holder to the Depositary in such form as the Depositary may reasonably require, such dividends and distributions and any interest thereon to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Arrangement, net of any applicable withholding and other Taxes.
