Canadian Warrants

The trust units and Series A warrants will be sold to the public in the form of units at a price of $10 per unit. Each unit consists of one trust unit and one full Series A warrant. The units will separate immediately upon closing of the offering.

Each Series A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one trust unit and one-half of one Series B trust unit purchase warrant of the trust at an exercise price of $12 at any time on or before 5 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is the third anniversary of the closing date. Each whole Series B warrant entitles the holder to purchase one trust unit at an exercise price of $15 at any time on or before 5 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is the fifth anniversary of the closing date.

The Series B warrants will not be posted for trading until the minimum distribution requirements of there being at least 100 public holders of 100 Series B warrants or more and at least 100,000 publicly held Series B warrants are met, at which time a further Toronto Stock Exchange bulletin will be issued announcing such posting for trading of the Series B warrants. There can be no assurance that the Series B warrants will meet such minimum distribution requirements and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the Series B warrants will be posted for trading.

The Series A warrants and Series B warrants will be governed by the terms of a warrant indenture to be dated Jan. 25, 2008, between the trust and Computershare Trust Co. of Canada as warrant agent. The warrant indenture provides for appropriate adjustments to the Series A warrants and Series B warrants in the event of stock dividends, subdivisions, consolidations and other forms of capital reorganization.

Registration of interests in, and transfers of, the trust units and warrants will be made through the book-based system of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. Trust units and warrants of beneficial owners must be purchased, transferred and surrendered for retraction or redemption only through a CDS participant. All rights of a beneficial owner of trust units and warrants must be exercised through, and all payments or other property to which such beneficial owner is entitled will be made or delivered by, CDS or the CDS participant through which the beneficial owner holds such trust units and warrants. Upon purchase of any trust units and warrants, the owner will receive only the customary confirmation.
