To the extent of any inconsistency between this Declaration of Trust and any regulation, decision, designation or determination made by the Trustees, this Declaration of Trust shall prevail and such regulation, decision, designation or determination shall be deemed to be modified to eliminate such inconsistency.

- 19 -

the Trust and the Unitholders and that in connection therewith they exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent individual would exercise in comparable circumstances.

No person dealing with the Trustees shall be bound to see to the application of any funds or property passing into the hands or control of the Trustees. The receipt by or on behalf of the Trustees for monies or other consideration shall be binding upon the Trust.

Section 3.08 Determinations of Trustees Binding.

All determinations of the Trustees which are made in good faith with respect to any matters relating to the Trust, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, whether any particular investment or disposition meets the requirements of this Declaration of Trust, shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Trust and all Unitholders (and, where the Unitholder is a Deferred Income Plan, registered pension fund or plan as defined in the Tax Act, or other similar fund or plan registered under the Tax Act, upon plan beneficiaries and plan holders past, present and future) and Units of the Trust shall be issued and sold on the condition and understanding that any and all such determinations shall be binding as aforesaid.

(h) A general statement in writing provided to the Trust by a Trustee or officer of the Trust is a sufficient disclosure of a Disclosable Interest for the purpose of this Section 3.09 in relation to any contract or transaction that the Trust has entered into or proposes to enter into with a person if the statement declares that the Trustee or officer of the Trust is a trustee, director or officer of, or has a material interest in, the person with whom the Trust has entered, or proposes to enter, into the contract or transaction.

- 24 -

(b) notwithstanding anything else contained in this Declaration of Trust, the Trust shall not make or hold any investment, take any action or omit to take any action or permit a Subsidiary to make or hold any investment or take any action or omit to take any action that would result in:

For the purpose of the foregoing investment guidelines (other than Section 4.01(b)), the assets, liabilities, activities, operations and transactions of a corporation or other person wholly or partially owned by the Trust, including Granite LP and its Subsidiaries, will be deemed to be those of the Trust on a proportionate consolidated basis. In addition, any references in the foregoing to investment in real property will be deemed to include an investment in a joint venture arrangement. Nothing in the investment guidelines (other than Section 4.01(b)) prohibits the Trust from holding some or all of the receivables due pursuant to instalment receipt agreements.

Section 4.02 Operating Policies.

The operations and activities of the Trust will be conducted in accordance with the following policies:

(a) the Trust shall not purchase, sell, market or trade in currency or interest rate futures contracts otherwise than for hedging purposes to the extent that such hedging activity complies with National Instrument 81-102 – Mutual Funds, as amended from time to time, or any successor instrument or rule and provided that is complied with;

(b) (i) any written instrument creating an obligation which is or includes the granting by the Trust of a Mortgage, and (ii) to the extent the Trustees determine to be practicable and consistent with their fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of Unitholders, any written instrument which is, in the judgment of the Trustees, a material obligation, shall contain a provision or be subject to an acknowledgement to the effect that the obligation being created is not personally binding upon, and that resort shall not be had to, nor shall recourse or satisfaction be sought from, the private property of any of the Trustees, Unitholders, Annuitants, or officers, employees or agents of the Trust, but that only property of the Trust or a specific portion shall be bound; the Trust, however, is not required, but shall use all reasonable efforts, to comply with this requirement in respect of obligations assumed by the Trust upon the acquisition of real property;

(c) the Trust shall not incur or assume any Indebtedness if, after giving effect to the incurring or assumption of the Indebtedness, the total Indebtedness of the Trust would be more than 65% of Gross Book Value;

(d) the Trust shall not directly or indirectly guarantee any Indebtedness or liabilities of any person unless such guarantee: (i) is given in connection with or incidental to an investment that is otherwise permitted under the Trust’s investment guidelines; (ii) has been approved by the Trustees; and (iii) (A) would not disqualify the Trust as a “mutual fund trust” within the meaning of the Tax Act, and (B) would not result in the Trust losing any other status under the Tax Act that is otherwise beneficial to the Trust and its Unitholders

- 26 -

(e) except for real property held by a person partially owned by the Trust, title to each real property shall be held by and registered in the name of the Trust, the Trustees or in the name of a corporation or other entity wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Trust or jointly, directly or indirectly, by the Trust with joint venturers or in such other manner which, in the opinion of management, is commercially reasonable;

(f) the Trust shall conduct such diligence as is commercially reasonable in the circumstances on each real property that it intends to acquire and obtain a report with respect to the physical condition thereof from an independent and experienced consultant;

(g) the Trust shall either (i) have conducted an environmental site assessment or (ii) be entitled to rely on an existing environmental site assessment, in respect of each real property that it intends to acquire and, if the environmental site assessment report recommends that further environmental site assessments be conducted, the Trust shall have conducted such further environmental site assessments, in each case, by an independent and experienced environmental consultant; and

(h) the Trust shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, at all times, insurance coverage in respect of potential liabilities of the Trust and the accidental loss of value of the assets of the Trust from risks, in amounts, with such insurers, and on such terms as the Trustees consider appropriate, taking into account all relevant factors including the practices of owners of comparable properties.

For the purpose of the foregoing operating policies, the assets, liabilities, activities, operations and transactions of a corporation or other person wholly or partially owned by the Trust, including Granite LP and its Subsidiaries, will be deemed to be those of the Trust on a proportionate consolidated basis. In addition, any references in the foregoing to investment in real property will be deemed to include an investment in a joint venture.

Section 4.03 Application of Investment Guidelines and Operating Policies

With respect to the investment guidelines and operating policies contained in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 and where any maximum or minimum percentage limitation is specified in any of the guidelines and policies therein contained, such guidelines and policies shall, unless otherwise specified, be applied on the basis of the relevant amounts calculated immediately after the making of such investment or the taking of such action. Any subsequent change relative to any percentage limitation, which results from a subsequent change in Gross Book Value, will not require divestiture of any investment except in the case of any such limitation relating to the investment guidelines contained in Section 4.01(b) which must be complied with at all times.

Section 4.04 Regulatory Matters.

If at any time a government or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Trust or any property of the Trust shall enact any law, regulation or requirement which is in conflict with any investment guideline or operating policy of the Trust then in force, such guideline or policy in conflict shall, if the Trustees on the advice of legal counsel to the Trust so resolve, be deemed to have been amended to the extent necessary to resolve any such conflict and, notwithstanding

- 27 -

anything to the contrary herein contained, any such resolution of the Trustees shall not require the prior approval of Unitholders.

Section 4.05 Partnership Status for U.S. Tax Purposes

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Declaration of Trust, the Trust shall elect to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Nevertheless, if the Trustees believe it is no longer in the best interests of the Trust to maintain its status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trustees shall have the power to change or revoke such election.

ARTICLE V

TRUST UNITS

Section 5.01 Units.

The beneficial interests in the Trust shall be divided into a single class of Units (which may be represented by instalment receipts) with the rights and privileges set forth in this ARTICLE V. The number of Units which the Trust may issue is unlimited. Each Unit, when issued, shall vest indefeasibly in the holder thereof. Subject to applicable regulatory approval, the issued and outstanding Units may be subdivided or consolidated from time to time by the Trustees without Unitholder approval. Each Unit shall entitle the holder to the voting rights provided in Section 6.07.

Section 5.02 Ranking of Units.

Each Unit shall represent an equal undivided beneficial interest in any distributions by the Trust, whether of net income, Net Realized Capital Gains of the Trust or other amounts and, in the event of termination of the Trust, in the net assets of the Trust remaining after satisfaction of all liabilities, and no Unit shall have any preference or priority over any other.

Section 5.03 Consideration for Units.

Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.03, a Unit shall not be fully paid until the consideration therefor has been received in full by or on behalf of the Trust. The consideration for any Unit shall be paid in one or more of money, property or past services performed for or for the direct or indirect benefit of the Trust, the value of which consideration received by the Trust, as determined by the Trustees, equals or exceeds the issue price set for the Unit. In determining whether the aggregate value of the money, property and past services equals or exceeds the issue price for a Unit, the Trustees may take into account reasonable charges and expenses that (a) have been incurred by the person providing the money, property and past services, and (b) are reasonably expected to benefit the Trust. Units may be issued and sold on an instalment basis, in which event beneficial ownership of such Units may be represented by instalment receipts, but shall otherwise be non-assessable.

Section 5.04 No Pre-Emptive Rights.

There are no pre-emptive rights attaching to the Units.

- 28 -

Section 5.05 Fractional Units.

If as a result of any act of the Trustees pursuant to this Declaration of Trust any person becomes entitled to a fraction of a Unit, such person is not entitled to receive a Unit certificate therefor. Fractional Units shall not, except to the extent that they may represent in the aggregate one or more whole Units, entitle the holders thereof to notice of or to attend or to vote at, meetings of Unitholders. Subject to the foregoing, such fractional Units shall have attached thereto the rights, privileges, restrictions, conditions and limitations attaching to whole Units in the proportion that they bear to a whole Unit..

Section 5.06 Allotment and Issue.

Subject to Section 5.03 and Section 5.10, the Trustees may allot and issue Units at such time or times and in such manner (including pursuant to any plan from time to time in effect relating to reinvestment of distributions of the Trust, equity-based compensation plans of the Trust, or its Affiliates or pursuant to a unitholder rights plan of the Trust), and for such consideration and to such person, persons or class of persons as the Trustees in their sole discretion shall determine.

Section 5.07 Rights, Warrants, Options and Other Unit-Based Securities.

The Trustees may create and issue rights, warrants or options or other instruments or securities (including, subject to the provisions of Section 4.01 and Section 4.02, debt securities) exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise pursuant to which a holder may subscribe for, acquire or receive payment in, fully paid Units at such exercise, conversion, exchange or subscription price or prices and at such time or times as the Trustees may determine. The rights, warrants, options, instruments or securities so created may be issued for such consideration or for no consideration, all as the Trustees may determine. A right, warrant, option, instrument or security so issued shall not be a Unit and a holder thereof shall not be a Unitholder.

Section 5.08 Commissions and Discounts.

The Trustees may at any time, pay a reasonable commission or allow a reasonable discount to any person in consideration of that person purchasing or agreeing to purchase Units or other securities of the Trust from the Trust or any other person or procuring or agreeing to procure purchasers for Units or other securities of the Trust.

Section 5.09 Transferability.

The Units are freely transferable and, other than as provided in this Declaration of Trust, the Trustees shall not impose any restriction on the transfer of Units.

Section 5.10 Non-Resident Ownership Constraint.

At no time may more than 49% (on either a basic or fully-diluted basis) of the Units be held for the benefit of non-residents of Canada (within the meaning of the Tax Act) and/or partnerships that are not Canadian partnerships (within the meaning of the Tax Act) (in each case, “Non-Resident Beneficiaries”). The Trustees may require declarations as to the jurisdictions in which beneficial owners of Units are resident or declarations from holders of Units as to whether such Units are held for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries. If the Trustees become aware

- 29 -

that more than 49% (on either a basic or fully-diluted basis) of the Units then outstanding are, or may be, held for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries or that such a situation is imminent, the Trustees may cause the Trust to make a public announcement thereof and shall not accept a subscription for Units from or issue or register a transfer of Units to a person unless the person provides a declaration that the person is not a non-resident (or, in the discretion of the Trustees, that the person is not a Non-Resident Beneficiary) and does not hold its Units for a Non-Resident Beneficiary. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees determine that more than 49% of the Units (on either a basic or fully-diluted basis) are held for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries, the Trustees may cause the Trust to send a notice to non-resident holders of Units, chosen in inverse order to the order of acquisition or registration or in such manner as the Trustees may consider equitable and practicable, requiring them to sell their Units or a portion thereof within a specified period of not more than 60 days. If the Unitholders receiving such notice have not sold the specified number of Units or provided the Trustees with satisfactory evidence that they are not non-residents and do not hold their Units for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries within such period, the Trustees may cause the Trust to sell such Units on behalf of such Unitholders and, in the interim, the voting and distribution rights attached to such Units shall be suspended. Upon such sale the affected holders shall cease to be holders of Units and their rights shall be limited to receiving the net proceeds from such sale.

Section 5.11 Certificates.

Each Unitholder or their duly authorized agent is entitled, upon request, to receive, without charge, a Unit certificate registered in their name representing the Units held by them, signed in the manner hereinafter prescribed, provided that, in respect of a Unit or Units held jointly by several persons, the Trust is not bound to issue more than one Unit certificate and delivery of a Unit certificate to one of several joint Unitholders or to one of the Unitholders’ duly authorized agents will be sufficient delivery to all. No Unit certificate shall be issued to evidence any fractional Units, unless the Trustees otherwise determine in their sole discretion.

Section 5.12 Form of Certificate.

(a) The form of certificate representing Units shall be in such form as is from time to time authorized by the Trustees.

(b) Each Unit certificate shall be signed by a Trustee or an officer of the Trust and, if required by Section 5.13, countersigned by or on behalf of the Transfer Agent. The signature of the Trustee or the officer of the Trust required to appear on any such certificate may be printed, lithographed or otherwise mechanically reproduced thereon and, in such event, certificates so signed are as valid as if they had been signed manually. If such a certificate contains the printed or mechanically reproduced signature of a person, then the Trust may issue the certificate even though such person has ceased to be a Trustee or an officer of the Trust and such certificate is as valid as if such person continued to be a Trustee or an officer of the Trust at the date of its issue.

(c) For greater certainty, an existing certificate that, prior to completion of the 2013 Arrangement represented common shares of Granite Real Estate Inc. shall thereafter represent only the holder’s entitlement to the Units to which the holder

- 30 -

is entitled as a result of and pursuant to the 2013 Arrangement and the 2024 Arrangement, and may be exchanged for a certificate representing such Units.

(d) For greater certainty, an existing certificate that, prior to completion of the 2024 Arrangement represented the former “Stapled Units” of the Trust and Granite GP (including a common share certificate referenced in Section 5.12(c)) shall thereafter represent only the holder’s entitlement to the Units to which the holder is entitled as a result of and pursuant to the 2024 Arrangement, and may be exchanged for a certificate representing such Units.

Section 5.13 Unit Register and Transfer Ledgers to be Maintained.

A central securities register (the “Register”) shall be kept by, or on behalf and under the direction of, the Trustees, which Register shall contain the name and last known address of each Unitholder, the respective number of Units held by them, the certificate numbers of the certificates of such Unitholder’s Units and the date and particulars of each issue, transfer or redemption thereof. The Trustees may appoint one or more chartered banks or trust companies or other persons authorized to act as a transfer agent in any jurisdiction to act as transfer agents and to act as registrars for Units and may provide for the transfer of Units in one or more places within Canada or elsewhere. In the event of such appointment, the Transfer Agent shall keep all necessary registers and other books (which may be kept in a bound or looseleaf book or may be entered or recorded by any system of mechanical or electronic data processing or any other information storage device) for recording original issues and registering and transferring the Units. If the Trustees have appointed a registrar and transfer agent for Units, no certificate for Units shall be valid unless countersigned by or on behalf of the Transfer Agent. The Trust must not at any time close the Register.

Section 5.14 Entry on Register.

Upon any issue of Units, the name of the subscriber (or person as directed by the subscriber, which may include a securities depository or clearing system or nominee thereof) shall be promptly entered on the Register as the holder of the number of Units so issued, or if the subscriber is already a Unitholder, the Register may be amended to include the additional Units. Except as provided in this Declaration of Trust, only persons whose Units are recorded on the Register shall be entitled to vote or to receive distributions or otherwise exercise or enjoy the rights of Unitholders. The Trustees shall have the right to treat the persons whose Units are recorded on the Register as the owner of such Units for all purposes, including, without limitation, payment of any distribution or redemption amount, giving notice to Unitholders and determining the right to attend and vote at meetings of Unitholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees shall provide to the personal or other legal representative or trustee in bankruptcy of a Unitholder the rights and privileges of such Unitholder if appropriate evidence of appointment or incumbency with the meaning of section 87 of the Securities Transfer Act is provided to the Trustees.

Section 5.15 Transfer of Units.

Units shall be for all purposes of the Trust and this Declaration of Trust, personal and moveable property, and, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE V and such provisions and conditions as may be prescribed by the Trustees from time to time, shall be transferable. No transfer shall be recorded on the Register unless the transferor has executed the instrument of transfer as

- 31 -

reproduced in the Unit certificate, or such other form that may be approved by the Trustees from time to time, and the transferee has delivered to the Transfer Agent a Unit certificate representing the Units. Subject to the foregoing, transfers shall be recorded on the Register and a new Unit certificate for the Units so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and in case of a transfer of only part of the Units represented by any Unit certificate, a new Unit certificate for the remaining Units shall be issued to the transferor. No transfer of Units shall be effective as against the Trustees or shall be in any way binding upon the Trustees until the transfer has been recorded on the Register. None of the Trustees, officers of the Trust, Unitholders or the Transfer Agent or other agent of the Trust or the Trustees is bound to inquire into the title of the person named in the instrument of transfer as transferee or, if no person is named as transferee in the instrument of transfer, of the person on whose behalf the instrument is deposited for the purpose of having the transfer registered or is liable for any claim related to registering the transfer by the Unitholder or by any intermediate owner or holder of the Units, of any interest in the Units, or any Unit certificate. There must be paid to the Trust, in relation to the registration of any transfer, the amount, if any, determined by the Trustees.

Section 5.16 Successors in Interest to Unitholders.

The personal or other legal representative, or trustee in bankruptcy, of a Unitholder shall be entitled to become or to designate another person to become a registered Unitholder if the person provides to Trustees or the Transfer Agent (a) a declaration of transmission made by the personal or other legal representative or trustee in bankruptcy stating the particulars of the transmission, (b) the Unit certificate and any assurances referred to in section 87 of the Securities Transfer Act that are required by the Trustees, (c) in the case of a death, (i) the original grant of probate or letters of administration or a court certified copy of them, or (ii) the original or a court certified or authenticated copy of the grant of representation, will, order or other instrument or other evidence of the death under which title to the Units is claimed to vest, (d) in the case of bankruptcy, a copy of the court order or of the assignment in bankruptcy and a copy of the instrument appointing the trustee in bankruptcy, and (e) in any other case, (i) if the person making the declaration of transmission referred to in paragraph (a) above was appointed by a court, appropriate evidence of appointment or incumbency within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition of “appropriate evidence of appointment or incumbency” in section 87(3) of the Securities Transfer Act, and (ii) if that person was not appointed by a court, appropriate evidence of appointment or incumbency within the meaning of paragraph (b) of the definition of “appropriate evidence of appointment or incumbency” in section 87(3) of the Securities Transfer Act. If a personal or other legal representative, or a trustee in bankruptcy, of a Unitholder applies to the Trustees or the Transfer Agent pursuant to the foregoing sentence to become or to designate another person to become a registered Unitholder, provision to the Trustees or the Transfer Agent of the records required pursuant to the foregoing sentence for the application shall, despite anything else in this Declaration of Trust, be sufficient authority to enable the Trustees or the Transfer Agent to register the applicant or the person designated by the applicant, as the case may be, as a registered Unitholder.

Section 5.17 Units Held Jointly or in Fiduciary Capacity.

The Trust may treat two or more persons holding any Unit as joint tenants of the entire interest therein unless the ownership is expressly otherwise recorded on the Register, but no entry shall be made in the Register or on any Unit certificate that any person is in any other manner entitled to

- 32 -

any future, limited or contingent interest in any Unit; provided, however, that any person recorded in the Register as a Unitholder may, subject to the provisions herein contained, be described in the Register or on any Unit certificate as a fiduciary of any kind and any customary words may be added to the description of the holder to identify the nature of such fiduciary relationship. If there are joint Unitholders recorded on the Register, in respect of any Unit, any one of the joint Unitholders may vote at any meeting, either personally or by proxy, in respect of the Unit as if that joint Unitholder were solely entitled to it or, if more than one of the joint Unitholders is present at any meeting, personally or by proxy, and more than one of them votes in respect of that Unit, then only the vote of the joint Unitholder present whose name stands first on the Register in respect of the Unit will be counted.

Section 5.18 Performance of Trusts.

Except as required by law or statute or this Declaration of Trust, no person will be recognized by the Trust as holding any Unit upon any trust, and the Trust is not bound by or compelled in any way to recognize (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Unit or fraction of a Unit or (except as by law or statute or this Declaration of Trust provided or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) any other rights in respect of any Unit except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the Unitholder.

Section 5.19 Replacement of Worn Out or Defaced Certificate.

If the Trustees are satisfied that a Unit certificate is worn out or defaced, they must, on production to them of the certificate, and on such other terms, if any, as they think fit, order the certificate to be cancelled and issue a replacement Unit certificate for the same number of Units in lieu thereof.

Section 5.20 Lost Certificates.

In the event that any Unit certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, the Trustees may authorize the issuance of a new Unit certificate for the same number of Units in lieu thereof. The Trustees may in their discretion, before the issuance of such new certificate, require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or the legal representative of the owner, to make such affidavit or statutory declaration, setting forth such facts as to the loss, theft or destruction as the Trustees deem necessary and may require the applicant to supply to the Trust a “lost certificate” or similar bond in such reasonable amount as the Trustees direct indemnifying the Trustees and the Transfer Agent for so doing. The Trustees shall have the power to acquire from an insurer or insurers a blanket lost security bond or bonds in respect of the replacement of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates. The owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate shall pay all premiums and other sums of money payable for such purpose with such contribution, if any, by those insured if an as may be determined by the Trustees. If such blanket lost security bond is acquired, the Trustees may authorize and direct (upon such terms and conditions as they from time to time impose) any registrar, transfer agent, trustee or others to whom the indemnity of such bond extends to take such action to replace such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates without further action or approval by the Trustees.

Section 5.21 Splitting Unit Certificates.

If a Unitholder surrenders a Unit certificate to the Trust with a written request that the Trust issue in the Unitholder’s name two or more Unit certificates, each representing a specified number of

- 33 -

Units and in the aggregate representing the same number of Units as the Unit certificate so surrendered, the Trust must cancel the surrendered certificate and issue replacement Unit certificates in accordance with that request..

Section 5.22 Certificate Fee.

The Trustees may establish a reasonable fee to be charged for the issue of any Unit certificate under Section 5.19, Section 5.20 or Section 5.21.

Section 5.23 Death of Unitholders.

The death of a Unitholder during the continuance of the Trust shall not terminate the Trust or give the personal representatives or the heirs of the estate of the deceased Unitholder a right to an accounting or to take any action in the courts or otherwise against other Unitholders or the Trustees, officers of the Trust or the property of the Trust, but shall only entitle the personal representatives or the heirs of the estate of the deceased Unitholder to the rights set out in Section 6.11 and to demand and receive, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.16 hereof, a new Unit certificate in place of the certificate held by the deceased Unitholder, and upon the acceptance thereof such personal representatives or the heirs of the estate of the deceased Unitholder shall succeed to all rights of the deceased Unitholder under this Declaration of Trust

Section 5.24 Unclaimed Payments.

In the event that the Trustees hold any amounts to be paid to Unitholders, under ARTICLE IX or otherwise because such amounts are unclaimed or cannot be paid for any reason, neither the Trustees nor any distribution disbursing agent shall be under any obligation to invest or reinvest the same and shall only be obligated to hold the same in a current or other non-interest bearing account with a chartered bank or trust company, pending payment to the person or persons entitled thereto. The Trustees shall, as and when required by law, and may at any time prior to such required time, pay all or part of such amounts so held to a court in the province where the Trust has its principal office or to the Public Trustee (or other similar government official or agency) in the province where the Trust has its principal office whose receipt shall be a good fulfillment and discharge of the obligations of the Trustees.

The Trust shall be entitled to purchase or otherwise acquire at any time, in each case for cancellation, the whole or from time to time any part of the outstanding Units, at a price per Unit and on a basis determined by the Trustees in compliance with all applicable securities laws, regulations or policies and the policies of any applicable stock exchange.

Section 5.26 Repurchase of Fin GP Units by Trust

Notwithstanding the generality of Section 5.25, the Trust may purchase or otherwise acquire at any time the outstanding Fin GP Units at a price per Fin GP Unit equal to the subscription price therefor and, upon the completion of such purchase or acquisition, any such Units shall be cancelled and shall no longer be outstanding for any of the purposes of this Declaration of Trust.

Section 5.28 Acquisition Offers.

(a) For the purposes of this Section 5.28, each Acquisition Offer is accepted if, within four months after the making of the offer, the offer is accepted by Unitholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 90% of the Units, other than Units already held at the date of the offer by, or by a nominee for, the Acquiring Person or its Affiliate.

(e) If a notice has been sent by an Acquiring Person under Section 5.28(b) and the court has not ordered otherwise under Section 5.28(c), the Acquiring Person must, no earlier than two months after the date of the notice, or, if an application to a court of competent jurisdiction by the Offeree to whom the notice was sent is then pending, at any time after that application has been disposed of, send a copy of the notice to the Trust and pay or transfer to the Trust the amount or other consideration representing the price payable by the Acquiring Person for the Units that are referred to in the notice.

(f) On receiving the copy of the notice and the amount or other consideration referred to in Section 5.28(e), the Trust must register the Acquiring Person as a Unitholder with respect to those Units.

(g) Any amount received by the Trust under this Section 5.28 must be paid into a separate account at a savings institution and, together with any other consideration so received, must be held by the Trust, or by a trustee approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, in trust for the persons entitled to that sum.

- 35 -

(h) If the Acquiring Person has not, within one month after becoming entitled to do so, sent the notice referred to in Section 5.28(b), the Acquiring Person must send a written notice to each Offeree referred to in Section 5.28(b) stating that the Offeree, within three months after receiving the notice, may require the Acquiring Person to acquire the Units of that Offeree that were involved in the Acquisition Offer.

ARTICLE VI

MEETINGS OF UNITHOLDERS

Section 6.01 Annual Meeting.

(a) There shall be an annual meeting of Unitholders at such time and place in Canada as the Trustees shall prescribe for the purpose of electing Trustees, appointing the auditors of the Trust and transacting such other business as the Trustees may determine or as may properly be brought before the meeting. The annual meeting of Unitholders shall be held after delivery to the Unitholders of the information referred to in Section 16.11(a) and, in any event, within 18 months after the date of the Original Declaration of Trust, and after that at least once in each calendar year and not more than 15 months after the later to occur of the last annual meeting of Unitholders or date of a written resolution in lieu of an annual meeting of Unitholders in accordance with Section 6.01(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees may apply to a court or competent jurisdiction for an order extending the time for calling an annual meeting.

(b) If all the Unitholders consent, by a resolution passed by being consented to in writing by all of the Unitholders, to all of the business that is required to be transacted at an annual meeting of Unitholders, the annual meeting of Unitholders is deemed to have been held on the date of such Unitholder resolution.

Section 6.02 Other Meetings.

(a) The Trustees shall have power at any time to call special meetings of the Unitholders at such time and place as the Trustees may determine.

- 36 -

(b) Unitholders holding in the aggregate not less than 5% of the outstanding Units may requisition the Trustees to call a special meeting of Unitholders for the purposes stated in the requisition. A requisition under this Section 6.02(b):

(i) must, in 1,000 words or less, state the business to be transacted at the meeting, including any resolution to be submitted to the meeting;

(ii) must be signed by, and include the names and mailing addresses of, all of the requisitioning Unitholders;

(iii) may be made in a single record or may consist of several records, in similar form and content, each of which is signed by one or more of the requisitioning Unitholders; and

(iv) must be delivered to the Trustees at the delivery address of, or mailed by registered mail to the mailing address of, the principal office of the Trust.

(c) Upon receiving a requisition that complies with Section 6.02(b), the Trustees shall call a meeting of Unitholders to be held not more than four months after the date on which such requisition is received by the Trustees to transact the business stated in such requisition and shall send:

(i) notice of the date, time and, if applicable, the location of such meeting at least 21 days, but not more than four months, before the meeting to each Unitholder entitled to attend the meeting and to each Trustee; and

(ii) to the persons entitled to notice of the meeting the text of such requisition, which text shall be sent in, or within the time set for the sending of, the notice of the requisitioned meeting, or in the Trust’s information circular or equivalent, if any, sent in respect of the requisitioned meeting.

(d) If the requisitioned meeting is an Electronic Meeting, the notice referred to in Section 6.02(c) must also contain instructions for attending and participating in the meeting by telephone or other communications medium, including, if applicable, instructions for voting at the meeting.

(e) The Trustees need not comply with Section 6.02(c) if:

(i) a record date for a meeting of Unitholders has been fixed and notice thereof has been given to each stock exchange in Canada on which the Units are listed for trading;

(ii) the Trustees have called a meeting of Unitholders to be held after the date on which the requisition is received by the Trustees and have sent notice of that meeting in accordance with Section 6.02(g);

(iii) substantially the same business was submitted to Unitholders to be transacted at a meeting of Unitholders that was held not more than the two years before the receipt of the requisition, and any resolution to transact that

- 37 -

business at that earlier meeting did not receive the required support of Unitholders;

(iv) it clearly appears that the business stated in the requisition does not relate in a significant way to the business or activities of the Trust;

(v) it clearly appears that the primary purpose for the requisition is securing publicity or enforcing a personal claim or redressing a personal grievance against the Trust or any of its Trustees, officers or security holders;

(vi) the business stated in the requisition has already been substantially implemented;

(vii) the business stated in the requisition, if implemented, would cause the Trust to commit an offence; or

(viii) the requisition deals with matters beyond the Trustees’ power to implement.

(f) If the Trustees do not, within 21 days after the date on which the requisition is received by the Trust, send notice of a meeting of Unitholders in accordance with Section 6.02(c), the requisitioning Unitholders, or any one or more of them holding, in the aggregate, more than 1/40 of the outstanding Units, may send notice of a general meeting to be held to transact the business stated in the requisition. A meeting of Unitholders called under this Section 6.02(f) by the requisitioning Unitholders must: (i) be called in accordance with Section 6.02(c), (ii) be held within four months after the date on which the requisition is received by the Trustees, and (iii) as nearly as possible, be conducted in the same manner as a meeting of Unitholders called by the Trustees.

(g) Unless the Unitholders resolve otherwise at the meeting of Unitholders called under Section 6.02(f) by the requisitioning Unitholders, the Trust must reimburse the requisitioning Unitholders for the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them in requisitioning, calling and holding that meeting.

Section 6.03 Notice of Meeting of Unitholders.

Notice of all meetings of the Unitholders shall be mailed or delivered or otherwise made available, as permitted by applicable law, by the Trustees to each Unitholder entitled to attend the meeting (at their address appearing in the Register), to each Trustee and to the auditors of the Trust not less than 21 days nor more than two months before the meeting. Notice of any meeting of Unitholders shall state the purposes of the meeting. Despite any other provision of this Declaration of Trust, a Unitholder and any other person entitled to notice of a meeting of Unitholders may, in writing or otherwise, waive that entitlement or may agree to reduce the period of that notice. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, attendance of a person at a meeting of Unitholders is a waiver of entitlement to notice of the meeting, unless that person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called. If the meeting is an Electronic Meeting, the notice must also contain instructions for attending and participating in the meeting by telephone or other communications medium, including, if applicable, instructions for voting at the meeting. The

- 38 -

accidental omission to send notice of any meeting to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any of the persons entitled to notice does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

Section 6.04 Unitholder Proposals

Subject to subsections (a) and (b), a registered holder or beneficial owner of Units may (i) submit written notice to the Trust of any matter that the person wishes to have considered at the next annual meeting of Unitholders (a “Proposal”) and (ii) present at the meeting the Proposal, personally or by proxy, provided that they are a Qualified Unitholder (as defined herein) at the time of the Meeting.

(a) To be eligible to submit a Proposal, a person must be a registered or beneficial owner of one or more Units that carry the right to vote at general meetings for an uninterrupted period of at least two years before the date of signing the Proposal (a “Qualified Unitholder”). A person is not a Qualified Unitholder if, within two years before the signing of such Proposal, the person failed to present, in person or by proxy, at a meeting of Unitholders, a Proposal that, at the person’s request, had been included in a proxy circular relating to a meeting of the Unitholders.

(b) A Proposal is valid if:

(i) it includes the signature of the person submitting the Proposal and persons in support of the Proposal;

(ii) it is signed by Qualified Unitholders who, together with the person that submits the Proposal, at the time of signing, are the registered holders or beneficial owners of Units that, in the aggregate, (i) constitute not less than 1% of the combined total number of outstanding Units, or (ii) have a fair market value in excess of $2,000;

(iii) the Proposal is accompanied by a declaration from the person submitting the Proposal and each supporter, signed by person submitting the Proposal and each supporter, as the case may be, or, in the case of a person submitting or supporting the Proposal that is a corporation, by a director or senior officer of the signatory,

(A) providing the name and mailing address of that signatory;

(B) declaring the number of Units owned by that signatory as a registered or beneficial owner; and

(C) unless the name of the registered owner has already been provided under subparagraph (i), providing the name of the registered owner of those Units;

(iv) the Proposal and the declarations are received at the registered office of the Trust at least three months before the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of Unitholders.

- 39 -

(c) A Proposal may be accompanied by one written statement in support of the Proposal, which together must not exceed 1,000 words excluding the information required by subsection (b).

(d) The Trust shall send in, or within the time set for the sending of, the notice of the applicable annual meeting, or include in, or attach to, its proxy circular delivered in connection with its annual meeting:

(i) the text of the Proposal;

(ii) the names and mailing addresses of the submitter and the supporters; and

(iii) the written statement, if any, accompanying the Proposal.

(e) Subject to Section 6.04(f) and Section 6.04(h), the Trust must allow the person submitting the Proposal to present the Proposal, personally or by proxy, at the annual meeting in relation to which the Proposal was made if the submitter of the Proposal is a Qualified Unitholder at the time of that meeting.

(f) If the Trust receives more than one Proposal in relation to an annual meeting and the Proposals relate to substantially the same matter, the Trust need only comply with Section 6.04(d) and (e) in relation to the first of those Proposals to be received at its registered office and need not comply with Section 6.04(d) and (e) in relation to any other of those Proposals.

(g) A Proposal may not include nominations for the election of Trustees and a Unitholder shall not have the right to make nominations at the meeting, unless such nomination is made in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.17.

(h) The Trust shall not be required to comply with Section 6.04(d) and (e) if:

(i) the Trustees have called an annual meeting to be held after the date on which the Proposal is received by the Trust and have sent notice of that meeting in accordance with Section 6.03;

(ii) the Proposal is not valid within the meaning of Section 6.04(b) or exceeds the maximum length set out in Section 6.04(c).

(iii) it clearly appears that (A) the primary purpose of the Proposal is to secure publicity or to enforce a personal claim or redress a personal grievance against the Trust, the Trustees, its officers, the Unitholders or other securityholders of the Trust, or (B) the Proposal does not relate in a significant way to the business or affairs of the Trust;

(iv) substantially the same Proposal was submitted to Unitholders in a proxy circular relating to a meeting of the Unitholders and held within five years preceding the receipt of the Proposal and the matter covered by the Proposal did not receive the required support at that meeting. For the purposes hereof, the required support for a Proposal is:

- 40 -

(A) 3% of the total number of Units voted, if the Proposal has been introduced at only one annual meeting of Unitholders;

(B) 6% of the total number of Units voted at the last meeting at which the matter was submitted to Unitholders, if the Proposal was introduced at two annual meetings of Unitholders; and

(C) 10% of the total number of Units voted at the last meeting at which the matter was submitted to Unitholders, if the Proposal was introduced at three or more annual meetings of Unitholders; or

(v) the Proposal has already been substantially implemented;

(vi) the Proposal, if implemented, would cause the Trust to commit an offence; or

(vii) the Proposal deals with matters beyond the Trust’s power to implement.

(i) Neither the Trust nor any person acting on its behalf will incur any liability to Unitholders or any other person by circulating a Proposal or statement or permitting a submitter to present a Proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with this Section 6.04.

(j) If the Trust does not intend to process a Proposal, it shall, within 21 days of receipt of the Proposal, notify in writing the person submitting the Proposal of its decision to omit the Proposal from the Trust’s proxy circular and of the reasons for the decision, including a specific reference to the provision of Section 6.04(f), (g) and/or (h) that the Trust is relying on in refusing to process the Proposal and the reasons why the Trust believes that that provision applies.

(k) The submitter of a Proposal to whom a notice was sent under Section 6.04(j) may apply to the court for a review of the Trust’s decision.

(l) On the application of a person submitting a Proposal for a review of the Trust’s decision under Section 6.04(k), a court may restrain the holding of the meeting to which the Proposal is sought to be presented and make any further order it considers appropriate, including one or more of the following:

(i) an order that the Trust comply with Section 6.04(d), (e) and (f) in the manner and within the time ordered by the court;

(ii) if the information referred to in Section 6.04(d) cannot be provided to the Unitholders within a reasonable period of time before the annual meeting, an order that the Trust:

(A) hold, at its sole expense, a meeting for the purpose of considering the Proposal; and

(B) comply with Section 6.04(d), (e) and (f) in relation to that meeting on the terms and conditions imposed by the court; and

- 41 -

(iii) an order that the Trust reimburse the submitter of the Proposal for all reasonable legal expenses, including all reasonable disbursements, incurred in the application.

(m) The Trust or any person claiming to be aggrieved by a Proposal may apply to a court for an order permitting or requiring the Trust to refrain from processing the Proposal, and the court, if it is satisfied that Section 6.04(f), (g) or (h) applies, may make such order as it considers appropriate.

Section 6.05 Quorum.

The quorum of Unitholders for the transaction of business at a meeting of Unitholders shall exist where two or more Unitholders holding Units carrying not less than 25% of the number of votes attached to all Units entitled to be voted at such meeting are present in person or represented by proxy. If there is only one Unitholder entitled to vote at a meeting of Unitholders, the quorum is one person who is, or who represents by proxy, that Unitholder, and that Unitholder, present in person or by proxy, may constitute the meeting. No business, other than the election of a chair of the meeting and the adjournment of the meeting, may be transacted at any meeting of Unitholders unless a quorum of Unitholders entitled to vote is present at the commencement of the meeting, but such quorum need not be present throughout the meeting. If, within one-half hour from the time set for the holding of a meeting of Unitholders, a quorum is not present, in the case of a general meeting requisitioned by Unitholders pursuant to Section 6.02, the meeting is dissolved, and in the case of any other meeting of Unitholders, the meeting stands adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other day, time and place as is determined by the chair of the meeting.

Section 6.06 Chair.

The following individual is entitled to preside as chair at a meeting of Unitholders: (a) the Chair, if any; or (b) if the Chair is absent or unwilling to act as chair of the meeting, any other Trustee or individual present selected by the Trustees or the president or chief executive officer, if any.

Section 6.07 Voting.

Holders of Units may attend and vote at all meetings of the Unitholders either in person or by proxy. Each Unit shall be entitled to one vote at all meetings of the Unitholders. Any action to be taken by the Unitholders shall, except as otherwise required by this Declaration of Trust or by law, be authorized when approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of Unitholders. In case of an equality of votes, the chair of a meeting of Unitholders does not have a second or casting vote in addition to the vote or votes to which the chair of a meeting of Unitholders may be entitled as a Unitholder.

Section 6.08 Matters on which Unitholders Shall Vote.

None of the following shall occur unless the same has been duly approved by the Unitholders at a meeting duly called and held:

- 42 -

(a) except as provided in Section 2.01(c), Section 2.02(a), Section 2.03, Section 2.04(b), Section 2.07 or Section 2.08(a), the appointment, election or removal of Trustees;

(b) except as provided in Section 16.09, the appointment or removal of auditors of the Trust;

(c) any amendment to the Declaration of Trust (except as provided in Section 4.04 or Section 12.01); and

(d) any matter noted in Section 12.04.

Nothing in this Section 6.08, however, shall prevent the Trustees from submitting to a vote of Unitholders any matter which they deem appropriate, including matters required by law or by the rules or policies of any stock exchange or market on which the Units may be listed or quoted. Except with respect to the matters specified in this Section 6.08 or Section 12.02, no vote of the Unitholders shall in any way bind the Trustees.

Section 6.09 Record Dates.

For the purpose of determining the Unitholders who are entitled to receive notice of and vote at any meeting (other than a meeting requisitioned by Unitholders pursuant to Section 6.02) or any adjournment thereof, or who are entitled to receive any distribution, or for the purpose of any other action, the Trustees may from time to time fix a date not preceding by more than two months, the date of any such meeting of Unitholders or distribution or other action as a record date for the determination of Unitholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to receive such distribution or to be treated as Unitholders of record for purposes of such other action. For the purpose of determining the Unitholders who are entitled to receive notice of any meeting, any record date fixed by the Trustees may not precede the date of such meeting of Unitholders by fewer than 21 days. For the purpose of determining the Unitholders who are entitled to receive notice of and vote at any meeting requisitioned by Unitholders pursuant to Section 6.02 or any adjournment thereof, the Trustees may from time to time fix a date not preceding by more than four months, the date of any such meeting of Unitholders as a record date for the determination of Unitholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. Any Unitholder who was a Unitholder at the time fixed in accordance with this Section 6.09 shall be entitled to receive notice of and vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to receive such distribution or be treated as a Unitholder of record for purposes of such other action, even though they have since that date disposed of their Units, and no Unitholder becoming such after that date shall be entitled to receive notice of and vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof or to receive such distribution or to be treated as a Unitholder of record for purposes of such other action. If no record date is set for the purpose of determining the Unitholders who are entitled to receive notice of and vote at any meeting of Unitholders, the record date is 5 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the day immediately preceding the first date on which the applicable notice is sent or, if no such notice is sent, the beginning of the meeting. If no record date is set for the purpose of determining the Unitholders who are entitled to receive any distribution or for the purpose of any other action, the record date is 5 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the date on which the Trustees pass the resolution relating to the matter for which the record date is required.

- 43 -

Section 6.10 Proxies.

Whenever the vote or consent of Unitholders is required or permitted under this Declaration of Trust, such vote or consent may be given either directly by the Unitholder or by a proxy in such form as the Trustees may prescribe from time to time. A proxy need not be a Unitholder. The Trustees may solicit such proxies from the Unitholders or any of them in any matter requiring or permitting the Unitholders’ vote, approval or consent. The Trustees may adopt, amend or repeal such rules relating to the appointment of proxyholders and the solicitation, execution, validity, revocation and deposit of proxies, as they in their discretion from time to time determine.

Section 6.11 Personal Representatives.

If a Unitholder is deceased, their personal representative, upon filing with the secretary of the meeting such proof of their appointment as the secretary considers sufficient, shall be entitled to exercise the same voting rights at any meeting of Unitholders as the Unitholder would have been entitled to exercise if they were living and for the purpose of the meeting shall be considered to be a Unitholder. Subject to the provisions of the will of a deceased Unitholder, if there is more than one personal representative, the provisions of Section 5.17 relating to joint holders shall apply.

Section 6.12 Attendance by Others.

The Trustees, any officer of the Trust, any lawyer for the Trust, representatives of the auditors of the Trust and any other individual invited by the Trustees or the chair of the meeting are entitled to attend and speak at any meeting of Unitholders, but if any of those individuals does attend a meeting of Unitholders, that individual is not to be counted in the quorum and is not entitled to vote at the meeting unless that individual is a Unitholder or proxy holder entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 6.13 Meeting by Telephone, Electronic or Other Communications Medium.

Any meeting of Unitholders may be held partially or entirely by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communications medium. A Unitholder or proxy holder who is entitled to participate in, including vote at, a meeting of Unitholders may do so by telephone or other communications medium if all Unitholders and proxy holders attending the meeting are able to participate in it, whether by telephone, by other communications medium or in person. If the Trust holds a meeting of Unitholders that is not an Electronic Meeting, the Trust is not obligated to take any action or provide any facility to permit or facilitate the use of any communications medium at the meeting. If the Trust holds a meeting of Unitholders that is an Electronic Meeting, the Trust must permit and facilitate participation in the meeting by telephone or other communications medium. If one or more Unitholders or proxy holders participate in a meeting of Unitholders in a manner contemplated by this Section 6.13, each such Unitholder or proxy holder is deemed, for the purposes of Declaration of Trust, to be present at the meeting, and the meeting is deemed to be held at the location, if any, specified in the notice of the meeting.

- 44 -

Section 6.14 Conduct of Meetings.

To the extent that the rules and procedures for the conduct of a meeting of Unitholders are not prescribed herein or in the Trustees’ Regulations, the rules and procedures shall be such reasonable rules and procedures as are determined by the chair of the meeting and such rules and procedures shall be binding upon all parties participating in the meeting.

Section 6.15 Binding Effect of Resolutions.

Every resolution passed at a meeting in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE VI shall be binding upon all Unitholders, whether present at or absent from the meeting.

Section 6.16 Resolution in Lieu of Meeting.

A resolution signed in writing by Unitholders shall be deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of Unitholders and to be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of Unitholders that satisfies all the requirements of this Declaration of Trust relating to meetings of Unitholders if all the Unitholders who are entitled to vote at an annual meeting consent by a unanimous resolution to all of the business that is required to be transacted at that annual meeting.

Section 6.17 Nomination of Trustees.

(a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as Trustees of the Trust. Nominations of persons for election to the board of Trustees may be made at any annual meeting of Unitholders, or at any special meeting of Unitholders, if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of Trustees:

(i) by or at the direction of the board of Trustees, including pursuant to a notice of meeting;

(ii) by or at the direction or request of one or more Unitholders pursuant to a requisition of the Unitholders made in accordance with Section 6.02; or

(iii) by any person (a “Nominating Unitholder”) who

(A) at the close of business on the date of the giving of the notice provided for below in this Section 6.17 and on the record date for notice of such meeting, is entered in the Register as a holder of one or more Units carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns Units that are entitled to be voted at such meeting; and

(B) who complies with the notice procedures set forth below in this Section 6.17.

(b) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a Nominating Unitholder, the Nominating Unitholder must have given timely notice thereof to the Trustees in the manner prescribed by this Declaration of Trust. Furthermore, if such notice is made on a day which is not a Business Day or later

- 45 -

than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on a day which is a Business Day, then such notice shall be deemed to have been made on the subsequent day that is a Business Day.

(c) To be timely, a Nominating Unitholder’s notice to the Trustees must be made:

(i) in the case of an annual meeting of Unitholders, not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of Unitholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of Unitholders is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date (the “Notice Date”) on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice by the Nominating Unitholder may be made not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the Notice Date;

(ii) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of Unitholders called for the purpose of electing Trustees (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of Unitholders was made; and

(iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an annual meeting of Unitholders or a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of Unitholders called for the purpose of electing Trustees (whether or not also called for other purposes) where “notice-and-access” (as defined in National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer) is used for delivery of proxy-related materials and the Notice Date is not less than 50 days before the date of the meeting, not less than 40 days prior to the date of the meeting.

(d) To be in proper written form, a Nominating Unitholder’s notice to the Trustees must set forth:

(i) as to each person whom the Nominating Unitholder proposes to nominate for election as a Trustee:

(A) the name, age, province or state, and country of residence of the person;

(B) the principal occupation or employment of the person;

(C) whether the person is a Resident Canadian;

(D) the class or series and number of Units of the Trust which are controlled or which are owned beneficially or of record by the person as of the record date for the meeting of Unitholders (if such date shall then have been made publicly available and shall have occurred) and as of the date of such notice; and

- 46 -

(E) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of Trustees pursuant to applicable securities laws; and

(ii) as to the Nominating Unitholder giving the notice, any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Nominating Unitholder has a right to vote any Units of the Trust and any other information relating to such Nominating Unitholder that would be required to be made in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of Trustees pursuant to applicable securities laws.

(e) The Trust may require that any proposed nominee furnish such other information as may be required to be contained in a dissident proxy circular or by applicable law or regulation to determine the independence of the proposed nominee or their eligibility to serve as a Trustee of the Trust.

(f) No person shall be eligible for election as a Trustee of the Trust unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.17; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.17 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by a Unitholder (as distinct from the nomination of Trustees) at a meeting of Unitholders of any matter in respect of which it would have been entitled to submit to a vote pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in this Declaration of Trust. The chairperson of the applicable meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the foregoing provisions and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with such foregoing provisions, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

(g) Notwithstanding any provisions in this Section 6.17 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Trustees to be elected at a meeting is increased effective after the time period for which the Nominating Unitholder’s notice would otherwise be due under this section, a notice with respect to nominees for the additional Trustees required by this section shall be considered timely if it shall be given not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which the first public announcement of such increase was made by the Trust.

(h) For purposes of this Section 6.17, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service in Canada, or in a document publicly filed by the Trust under its profile on the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval+ (SEDAR+) at www.sedarplus.ca.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, waive any requirement in this Section 6.17.

MEETINGS OF THE TRUSTEES

Section 7.01 Meetings of Trustees.

The Trustees may meet together at any place for the conduct of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings as they think fit, and meetings of the Trustees held at regular intervals may be held at the place, at the time and, subject to Section 7.06, on not less than three days’ (or 24 hours in the event of an emergency) notice, or such other notice, if any, as the Trustees may from time to time determine; provided that a majority of meetings of the Trustees in any calendar year shall take place in Canada. Each committee of Trustees may meet together at any place for the conduct of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings as they think fit, and meetings of each committee of Trustees held at regular intervals may be held at the place, at the time and on not less than three days’ (or 24 hours in the event of an emergency) notice, or such other notice, if any, as the members of the committee of Trustees may from time to time determine.

Section 7.02 Trustees May Act Without Meeting.

Notwithstanding Section 7.01, a resolution of the Trustees or of any committee of the Trustees consented to in writing by all of the Trustees entitled to vote on it, whether by signed document, fax, email or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded messages, is as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Trustees or of the committee of the Trustees duly called and held. Such resolution may be in two or more counterparts which together are deemed to constitute one resolution in writing. A resolution passed in that manner is effective on the date stated in the resolution or on the latest date stated on any counterpart. A resolution of the Trustees or of any committee of the Trustees passed in accordance with this Section 7.02 is deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of Trustees or of the committee of the Trustees and to be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Trustees or of the committee of the Trustees that satisfies all the requirements of this Declaration of Trust relating to meetings of the Trustees or of a committee of the Trustees.

Section 7.03 Chair of Meetings.

The following individual is entitled to preside as chair at a meeting of Trustees: (a) the Chair, if any; or (b) any other Trustee chosen by the Trustees if: (i) the Chair is not present at the meeting within 15 minutes after the time set for holding the meeting; (ii) the Chair is not willing to chair the meeting; or (iii) the Chair has advised the Secretary, if any, or any other Trustee, that they will not be present at the meeting.

Section 7.04 Calling of Meetings.

A Trustee may, and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Trust, if any, on the request of a Trustee must, call a meeting of the Trustees at any time.

Section 7.05 Notice of Meetings.

Other than for meetings held at regular intervals as determined by the Trustees pursuant to Section 7.01, reasonable notice of each meeting of the Trustees, specifying the place, day and time of that meeting must be given to each of the Trustees by any method set out in Section

- 48 -

16.02 or orally or by telephone. The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any of the Trustees does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

Section 7.06 When Notice Not Required.

It is not necessary to give notice of a meeting of the Trustees to a Trustee if: (a) the meeting is to be held immediately following a meeting of Unitholders at which that Trustee was elected or appointed, or is the meeting of Unitholders at which that Trustee is appointed; or (b) the Trustee has waived notice of the meeting.

Section 7.07 Waiver of Notice of Meetings.

Any Trustee may waive notice of a meeting of Trustees (or a committee of Trustees) in any manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Trustee may send to the Trustees (or to the members of a committee of Trustees, as applicable) a document signed by them waiving notice of any past, present or future meeting or meetings of the Trustees (or such committee of Trustees) and may at any time withdraw that waiver with respect to meetings held after that withdrawal. After sending a waiver with respect to all future meetings and until that waiver is withdrawn, no notice of any meeting of the Trustees (or such committee of Trustees) need be given to such Trustee and all meetings of the Trustees (or such committee of Trustees) so held are deemed not to be improperly called or constituted by reason of notice not having been given to such Trustee. The attendance of a Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trustee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened.

Section 7.08 Quorum.

The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Trustees is a majority of the Trustees then in office; provided that a majority of the Trustees comprising such quorum must be Resident Canadians; and provided further that if the number of Trustees is set at one, the quorum is deemed to be set at one Trustee, and that Trustee may constitute a meeting. The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of any committee of the Trustees is a majority of the Trustees on such committee.

Section 7.09 Voting at Meetings.

Questions arising at any meeting of Trustees or any committee thereof are to be decided by a majority of votes and, in the case of an equality of votes, the chair of the meeting does not have a second or casting vote.

Section 7.10 Meetings by Telephone, Electronic or Other Communications Medium.

A Trustee may participate in a meeting of the Trustees or of any committee of the Trustees in person or by telephone or other communication medium if all Trustees attending the meeting are able to participate in it, whether in person or by telephone or other communications medium. A Trustee who participates in a meeting in a manner contemplated by this Section 7.10

- 49 -

is deemed for all purposes of the Declaration of Trust to be present at the meeting and to have agreed to participate in that manner.

Section 7.11 Committee Meetings.

Each committee of Trustees appointed by the Trustees may adopt its own rules or procedures for the calling, conduct, adjournment and regulation of the meetings of such committees as it sees fit and may amend or repeal such rules or procedures from time to time; provided, however, that any such rules or procedures shall not be inconsistent with this Declaration of Trust.

Section 7.12 Audit Committee.

The Trustees shall appoint an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) to consist of not less than three Trustees, all of whom shall be independent (as that term is used in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees). The Audit Committee shall review the financial statements of the Trust and/or such other financial statements as the Trust may be permitted to prepare and file under and in satisfaction of the requirements of applicable securities laws, and report thereon to the Trustees. If so requested by a member of the Audit Committee, the auditors of the Trust shall attend any meeting of the Audit Committee held during the term of office of the auditors.

Section 7.13 Additional Committees.

The Trustees may create such additional committees as they, in their discretion, determine to be necessary or desirable for the purposes of properly governing the activities of the Trust, and may delegate to any such additional committee any powers or authority they see fit.

ARTICLE VIII

DELEGATION OF POWERS

Section 8.01 General.

The Trustees may appoint from among their number a committee of Trustees and may delegate to such committee any of the powers of the Trustees. The Trustees shall have the power to appoint, employ or contract with any person for any matter relating to the Trust or its assets or activities. For greater certainty, the Trustees may delegate to any person (including any one or more officers of the Trust) the power to execute any document or enter into any agreement on behalf of the Trust or exercise any discretion or make any amendment in relation thereto without regard to whether such authority is normally granted or delegated by trustees. The Trustees may grant or delegate such authority to an advisor as the Trustees may in their sole discretion deem necessary or desirable without regard to whether such authority is normally granted or delegated by trustees. The Trustees shall have the power to determine the term and compensation of an advisor or any other persons whom they may employ or with whom they may contract. The Trustees shall have the power to grant powers of attorney as required in connection with any financing or security relating thereto or any other transaction or matter.

ARTICLE IX

DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 9.01 Distributions.

(a) The Trust may distribute to Unitholders on each Distribution Date such amounts as shall be determined by the Trustees in their discretion for the applicable Distribution Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total amount due and payable pursuant to this Section 9.01 on or before December 31 of any calendar year shall not be less than the amount necessary to ensure that the Trust will not be liable to pay income tax under Part I of the Tax Act for such year. The amount, if any, which is required to be distributed to comply with the preceding sentence shall be due and payable, on the earlier of the last Distribution Date in respect of each year and December 31 of such year, to persons who are Unitholders of record on that date, such amount to be payable in cash unless the Trustees determine in their absolute discretion to pay such amount in Units, in which case such amount shall be payable in Units, in accordance with Section 9.01(d).

(b) At any time the Trustees may declare an extraordinary distribution of cash, Units or property of the Trust in specie (an “Extraordinary Distribution”).

(c) Any distribution, including any Extraordinary Distribution, shall be made proportionately to persons who are Unitholders as at the close of business on the record date for such distribution, which shall be the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date falls, or such other time and date, if any, as is fixed by the Trustees in accordance with Section 6.09.

(d) Distributions under Section 9.01(a) shall be paid in cash or in Units (in the absolute discretion of the Trustees) as provided in Section 9.01(a), and may be reinvested in or paid in Units pursuant to any distribution reinvestment plan or distribution reinvestment and Unit purchase plan adopted by the Trustees pursuant to Section 9.06. Extraordinary Distributions may be paid in cash, Units or property of the Trust in specie, as determined by the Trustees. Any distribution, including an Extraordinary Distribution, of Units shall be subject to the restrictions in Section 5.06. Where the Trustees determine that the Trust does not have available cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount of any distribution which is payable hereunder on the due date for such payment, or where the Trustees otherwise determine in their absolute discretion that all or a portion of such distribution should not be paid in cash, the payment may, at the option of the Trustees, include the issuance of additional Units, or fractions of Units, if necessary, having a fair market value as determined by the Trustees equal to the difference between the amount of such distribution and the amount of cash which either has been determined by the Trustees in their absolute discretion to be available, or which the Trustees have otherwise determined shall be distributed in their absolute discretion as the case may be, for the payment of such distribution. Immediately after a distribution made in Units in accordance with the foregoing, the number of outstanding Units will be consolidated so that each Unitholder will hold after the consolidation the same number of Units as the Unitholder held before the Unit distribution. Each Unit

- 51 -

certificate representing a number of Units prior to such a Unit distribution is deemed to represent the same number of Units after the Unit distribution and the consolidation. Such additional Units will be issued pursuant to applicable exemptions under applicable securities laws, discretionary exemptions granted by applicable securities regulatory authorities or a prospectus or similar filing.

(e) The Trustees, if they so determine when income has been accrued but not collected may, on a temporary basis, transfer sufficient monies from the capital to the income account of the Trust to permit distributions of income which are payable to be effected.

(f) For greater certainty, it is hereby expressly declared that a Unitholder shall have the legal right to enforce payment of any amount which is determined by the Trustees to be payable, or is otherwise required or deemed to be payable, to a Unitholder in accordance with this Declaration of Trust.

Section 9.02 Allocation.

Income and net taxable capital gains for purposes of the Tax Act shall be allocated to Unitholders on the record date for any distribution in the same proportions as distributions received by Unitholders, subject to the discretion of the Trustees to adopt an allocation method which the Trustees consider to be more reasonable in the circumstances.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, credits and deductions shall be allocated to Unitholders in the same proportions as distributions received by Unitholders.

Section 9.03 Payment of Cash Distributions.

Cash distributions shall be paid by electronic funds transfer or by cheque payable to or to the order of the Unitholder or by such other manner of payment approved by the Trustees from time to time. The payment, if made by cheque, shall be conclusively deemed to have been made upon hand-delivery of a cheque to the Unitholder or to their agent duly authorized in writing or upon the mailing of a cheque by prepaid first-class mail addressed to the Unitholder at their address as it appears on the Register unless the cheque is not paid on presentation. The Trustees may issue a replacement cheque if they are satisfied that the original cheque has not been received or has been lost or destroyed upon being furnished with such evidence of loss, indemnity or other document in connection therewith that they may in their discretion consider necessary.

Section 9.04 Withholding Taxes.

(a) The Trust may deduct and withhold from each distribution payable to any Unitholder all amounts which the Trust is required or permitted by law to deduct or withhold therefrom.

(b) In the case of any distribution of property of the Trust (or distribution in the form of an issuance of additional Units) (an “in specie distribution”), except as otherwise determined by the Trustees in their sole discretion, the provisions of this Section 9.04(b) shall apply.

- 52 -

(i) The Transfer Agent may require declarations as to the jurisdictions in which beneficial owners of Units are resident.

(ii) Each Unitholder that does not appear on the Register as having a Canadian address shall be regarded for purposes hereof as a Non-Resident Beneficiary unless such Unitholder provides the Trust with satisfactory evidence that such Unitholder is not a Non-Resident Beneficiary prior to the record date for the in specie distribution (the “Record Date”).

(iii) Prior to the Record Date, the Trust shall make a public announcement of the amount of tax required to be withheld from the portion of the distribution that is payable to Non-Residents. Each Unitholder regarded as a Non-Resident Beneficiary shall remit to the Trust an amount in Canadian currency equal to the amount of tax (the “Withholding Tax”) required to be withheld from the portion of the in specie distribution otherwise payable to such Unitholder, including without limitation any tax required to be so withheld pursuant to Part XIII or Part XIII.2 of the Tax Act, or any other provision of any applicable tax law.

(iv) The Trust shall have the right to recover from each Unitholder regarded as a Non-Resident Beneficiary who does not comply with Section 9.04(b)(iii) the full amount of Withholding Tax attributable to the in specie distribution to such Unitholder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Transfer Agent may, upon receiving a direction and suitable indemnity from the Trustees, send a notice to such Unitholder requiring such Unitholder to, within a specified period of not less than 15 days, sell such Unitholder’s Units or a portion thereof and to remit sufficient proceeds of such sale to the Trust to enable the Trust to satisfy the Withholding Tax arising as a consequence of such in specie distribution. If the Unitholder receiving such notice has not sold the specified number of Units or provided the Trustees with satisfactory evidence that such Unitholder is not a Non-Resident Beneficiary within such period, the Transfer Agent, upon receiving a direction from the Trustees, may on behalf of such Unitholder, sell to a third party such a number of the Units owned by such Unitholder as gives rise to net proceeds that are no less than the amount of Withholding Tax arising as a consequence of such in specie distribution.

(c) If (i) any of the Trust’s Subsidiaries or entities in which the Trust has invested is required under U.S. federal income tax law to deduct and withhold and remit any amount to any governmental agency or body from any payment made by such Subsidiary or entity to the Trust because of a particular Unitholder’s status or for any other reason which is specifically attributable to a particular Unitholder (including, without limitation, the failure of a particular Unitholder to provide any required Form W-8BEN) (the particular Unitholder is referred to herein as the “relevant Unitholder”) and (ii) under applicable U.S. federal income tax law, such amount is so required to be deducted and withheld and remitted on account of a U.S. federal income tax liability of the relevant Unitholder relating to the payment, then the Trust shall have the right to recover from each relevant Unitholder the full

- 53 -

amount of such U.S. tax in such manner as is deemed appropriate by the Trust, including without limitation reducing distributions which would otherwise be made to such Unitholder until the Trust has recovered, or sell Units of such Unitholder so as to recover, the amount so deducted, withheld and paid.

(d) Any Unitholder that is not a U.S. Unitholder or that is or becomes a “10 percent shareholder” of the Trust’s Subsidiaries or entities in which the Trust has invested, within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) or Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and any Unitholder that is a bank or a controlled foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Trust in accordance with Section 16.02. Each such Unitholder, by acceptance of Units, agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and its Subsidiaries or entities in which the Trust has invested for any amount of U.S. federal tax required to be withheld as provided in Section 9.04. If any such Unitholder is liable to make a payment to the Trust in respect of such indemnity, the Trust shall have the right to recover from such Unitholder the full amount for which such Unitholder is so liable in such manner as is deemed appropriate by the Trust, including without limitation setting off such Unitholder’s right to receive any subsequent distribution from the Trust against such Unitholder’s obligation to so indemnify the Trust or any of its Subsidiaries or entities in which the Trust has invested for such U.S. tax.

Section 9.05 Designations.

The Trustees shall make such designations for income tax purposes in respect of amounts paid or payable to Unitholders for such amounts that the Trustees consider to be reasonable, including designations relating to taxable dividends received by the Trust in the year on shares of taxable Canadian corporations, net taxable capital gains of the Trust in the year and foreign source income of the Trust for the year.

Section 9.06 Distribution Reinvestment and Unit or Unit Purchase Plan.

The Trustees may in their sole discretion establish a distribution reinvestment plan or a distribution reinvestment and Unit purchase plan at any time.

ARTICLE X

REDEMPTION OF TRUST UNITS

Section 10.01 Right of Redemption.

Each Unitholder shall be entitled to require the Trust to redeem (the “Redemption Right”) at any time or from time to time at the demand of the Unitholder all or any part of the Units registered in the name of the Unitholder at the prices determined and payable in accordance with the following conditions hereinafter provided.

Section 10.02 Exercise of Redemption Right.

(a) To exercise a Unitholder’s right to require redemption under Section 10.01, the Unitholder shall send a duly completed and properly executed notice (a

- 54 -

“Redemption Notice”) requiring the Trust to redeem that number of the Unitholder’s Units specified in the Redemption Notice, in a form approved by the Trustees, to the Trust at the head office of the Trust or at any principal office of the Transfer Agent. No form or manner of completion or execution shall be sufficient unless the same is in all respects satisfactory to the Trustees and is accompanied by any further evidence that the Trustees may reasonably require with respect to the identity, capacity or authority of the person giving such notice.

(b) On the Trust’s receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Unitholder shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to the Units tendered for redemption (other than to receive the redemption payment therefor) including the right to receive any distributions thereon which are declared payable to the Unitholders of record on a date which is subsequent to the day of receipt by the Trust of the Redemption Notice. Units shall be deemed to be tendered for redemption on the date (the “Redemption Date”) that the Trust has, to the satisfaction of the Trustees, received the Redemption Notice and other required documents or evidence as aforesaid.

Section 10.03 Cash Redemption.

(a) A Unitholder shall, upon the Trust’s receipt of a valid Redemption Notice, be entitled to be paid, in respect of each Unit so tendered for redemption, an amount per Unit (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the lesser of:

(A) 95% of the “market price” of a Unit on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or, if the Units do not trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, on such other principal market on which the Units are listed or quoted for trading) during the 10-trading day period commencing immediately after the Redemption Date; and

(B) the “closing market price” of a Unit on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or, if the Units do not trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange, on such other principal market on which the Units are listed or quoted for trading), on the Redemption Date.

(b) For the purposes of paragraph (a),

(i) the “market price” of a Unit will be an amount equal to the volume weighted average of the trading prices of the Units for each of the trading days on which there was a trade of Units during the specified 10-trading day period; provided that if there was trading on the applicable exchange or market for fewer than five of the 10 trading days, the “market price” shall be the simple average of the following prices established for each of the 10 trading days: for each day on which there was no trading, the average of the last bid and ask prices; and for each day that there was trading, the volume weighted average trading price of the Units; and

(ii) the “closing market price” of a Unit for a particular date shall be an amount equal to: (A) the closing price of the Units if there was a trade on that date and the exchange or market provides a closing price; (B) the average of the

- 55 -

highest and lowest prices of Units if there was trading and the exchange or other market provides only the highest and lowest trading prices of Units traded on that date; and (C) the average of the last bid and last ask prices of the Units if there was no trading on that date.

(c) Subject to Section 10.04 and Section 10.05, the Redemption Price payable in respect of the Units tendered for redemption during any month shall be paid by electronic funds transfer to an account provided by the Unitholder or by cheque, drawn on a Canadian chartered bank or a trust company in lawful money of Canada, to or to the order of the Unitholder who exercised the Redemption Right on or before the last day of the calendar month following the month in which the Units were tendered for redemption. Payments made by the Trust of the Redemption Price are conclusively deemed to have been made upon the making of such an electronic funds transfer or mailing of a cheque in a postage prepaid envelope addressed to the former Unitholder unless such cheque is dishonoured upon presentment. Upon such payment, the Trust shall be discharged from all liability to the former Unitholder in respect of the Units so redeemed.

Section 10.04 No Cash Redemption in Certain Circumstances.

Section 10.03 shall not be applicable to Units tendered for redemption by a Unitholder, if:

(a) the total amount payable by the Trust in respect of such Units and all other Units tendered for redemption in the same calendar month exceeds $100,000; provided that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, waive such limitation in respect of all Units tendered for redemption in any calendar month;

(b) at the time the Units are tendered for redemption, the outstanding Units are not listed for trading or quoted on any stock exchange or market which, in the sole discretion of the Trustees, provides representative fair market value prices for the Units, as the case may be; or

(c) the normal trading of the outstanding Units is suspended or halted on any stock exchange on which the Units are listed for trading or, if not so listed, on any market on which the Units are quoted for trading, on the Redemption Date for such Units or for more than five trading days during the 10-trading day period commencing immediately after the Redemption Date for such Units.

Section 10.05 In Specie Redemption.

(a) If, pursuant to Section 10.04, Section 10.03 is not applicable to Units tendered for redemption by a Unitholder, the Redemption Price per Unit to which the Unitholder is entitled shall, subject to any applicable regulatory approvals, be paid and satisfied by way of a distribution in specie to such Unitholder consisting of notes of Granite LP, or of another Subsidiary of Granite LP having a net asset value greater than $50 million, having a maturity date of 10 years from their date of issue, a principal amount equal to the applicable Redemption Price and an interest rate which, as determined by the Trustees, will result in such notes having a fair market value

- 56 -

equal to their principal amount (in this Section 10.05, such notes are referred to as the “Redemption Assets”).

(b) The Redemption Price payable pursuant to this Section 10.05 in respect of Units tendered for redemption during any month shall be paid by the transfer, to or to the order of the Unitholder who exercised the Redemption Right, on or before the last Business Day (the “Transfer Date”) of the calendar month following the month in which the Units were tendered for redemption, of the Redemption Assets. The Trust shall be entitled to all interest or other income, as applicable, paid on the Redemption Assets up to and including the Transfer Date. Payments by the Trust of the Redemption Price per Unit are conclusively deemed to have been made upon the mailing of the in specie distribution of Redemption Assets by registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the former Unitholder and/or any party having a security interest. Upon such payment, the Trust shall be discharged from all liability to the former Unitholder and any party having a security interest in respect of the Units so redeemed. For purposes of this Section 10.05, no principal amount of Redemption Assets that is not an integral multiple of $10 will be distributed and, where Redemption Assets to be received by a former Unitholder include a principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $10, the principal amount of such Redemption Assets shall be rounded to the nearest integral multiple of $10 (with $5 being rounded up).

(c) Where the Trust makes a payment in specie of Redemption Assets to a Unitholder on a redemption of Units pursuant to this Section 10.05 in a particular year, the Trustees shall treat (i) the amount of any capital gain realized by the Trust as a result of the distribution of such Redemption Assets as an amount to be allocated to the redeeming Unitholder in that year out of the Net Realized Capital Gains of the Trust, and (ii) the amount of accrued income on or in respect of such property (other than capital gains described in (i)), as an amount to be allocated to the redeeming Unitholder in that year out of the net income of the Trust, except, with respect to both (i) and (ii), to the extent the Trustees determine otherwise in their sole discretion on or before December 31 of that year.

Section 10.06 Cancellation of Redeemed Units.

All Units which are redeemed pursuant to this ARTICLE X shall be cancelled immediately and shall no longer be outstanding.

ARTICLE XI

FEES AND EXPENSES

The Trust shall pay all expenses incurred (and may reimburse others who incur such expenses) in connection with the administration and management of the Trust and its investments and the conduct of the activities and operations of the Trust, including fees of auditors, lawyers, appraisers, registrars and transfer agents and other agents, stock exchanges, consultants and professional advisors employed by or on behalf of the Trust and the cost of reporting or giving notices to Unitholders.

LIABILITIES OF TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, UNITHOLDERS AND OTHERS

Section 14.01 Indemnification of the Trustees.

The Trustees shall at all times be indemnified and saved harmless out of the property of the Trust from and against Losses which a Trustee may suffer, sustain, incur or be required to pay as a result of, or in connection with any Claim for or in respect of any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever made, done, acquiesced in or omitted in or about or in relation to the execution of their duties as Trustees and also from and against all other Losses which they sustain or incur in or about or in relation to the activities and operations of the Trust, unless:

- 60 -

(a) at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the Trust was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by the-then governing declaration of trust;

(b) in relation to the subject matter of any proceeding or investigation for which indemnification is sought, the Trustee did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Trust and the Unitholders;

(c) in the case of any criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Trustee did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the Trustee’s conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.

The Trust shall, at the request of a Trustee, advance funds to the Trustee to cover the Losses from and against which the Trustee is indemnified hereunder (the “Advanced Funds”), provided the Trustee shall repay the Advanced Funds on demand if it shall be subsequently and finally determined that the Trustee was not entitled to indemnification hereunder, including because the Trustee did not meet the conditions of Section 14.01(a), (b) or (c). For greater certainty, a Claim subject to indemnification hereunder shall include any taxes, including any assessment, reassessment, claim or other amount for taxes, charges, duties, levies, imposts or similar amounts, including any interest and penalties in respect thereof, to which the Indemnified Party may be subject or which the Trustee may suffer or incur as a result of, in respect of, arising out of or referable to any indemnification of the Trustee by the Trust pursuant to this Section 14.01, including the payment of insurance premiums or any payment made by an insurer under an insurance policy, if such payment is deemed to constitute a taxable benefit or otherwise be or become subject to any tax or levy.

Section 14.02 Limitations on Liability of Trustees.

(a) None of the Trustees or any agent of the Trust shall be liable to the Trust or any Unitholder or former Unitholder (in each case whether registered or beneficial) for: (a) any action taken in good faith in reliance on any documents that are, prima facie, properly executed; (b) any depreciation of, or loss to, the Trust incurred by reason of the sale of any security; (c) the loss or disposition of monies or securities; or (d) any other action or failure to act, including the failure to compel in any way any former or acting Trustee to redress any breach of trust or any failure by any person to perform obligations or pay monies owed to the Trust; except for a breach of the duties and standard of care, diligence and skill set out in Section 3.06.

(b) If the Trustees have retained an appropriate expert or advisor with respect to any matter connected with their duties under this Declaration of Trust, the Trustees may in good faith act or refuse to act based on the advice of such expert or advisor and, notwithstanding any provision of this Declaration of Trust, including the duties and standard of care, diligence and skill set out in Section 3.06, the Trustees will not be liable for any action or refusal to act in good faith based on the advice of any such expert or advisor which it is reasonable to conclude is within the expertise of such expert or advisor to give.

- 61 -

(c) Subject to Section 3.06, none of the Trustees or agents of the Trust shall be subject to any liability in their personal capacities for any debts, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, judgments, costs, charges or expenses (including legal expenses) against or with respect to the Trust or in respect of the activities of the Trust. Other than the property and assets of the Trust, no property or assets of the Trustees, owned in their personal capacity or otherwise, will be subject to any levy, execution or other enforcement procedure with regard to any obligations of the Trust under this Declaration of Trust or under any other agreements or otherwise and no recourse with respect to such obligations may be had or taken, directly or indirectly, against the Trustees in any capacity other than their capacity as trustees of the Trust or against any successor, heir, executor, administrator or legal representative of the Trustees. The Trust shall be solely liable therefor and resort shall be had solely to the property and assets of the Trust for payment or performance thereof.

The Trust shall also indemnify any such persons in such other circumstances as this Declaration of Trust or law permits or requires.

Section 14.04 Liability of Unitholders and Others.

(a) No Unitholder or Annuitant, each in its capacity as such, shall incur or be subject to any liability, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, in contract or in tort or of any other kind, to any person in connection with: (i) the property and assets of the Trust or the ownership, use, operation, acquisition or disposition thereof or exercise or enjoyment of the rights, privileges, conditions or benefits attached thereto, associated therewith or derived therefrom; (ii) the obligations, liabilities, activities or activities of the Trust; (iii) any actual or alleged act or omission of the Trustees or any other person in respect of the activities or activities of the Trust (whether or not authorized by or pursuant to this Declaration of Trust); (iv) any actual or alleged act or omission of the Trustees or any other person in the performance or exercise, or purported or attempted performance or exercise, of any obligation, power, discretion or authority conferred upon the Trustees or such other person in respect of the activities or activities of the Trust (whether or not authorized by or pursuant to this Declaration of Trust); (v) any transaction entered into by the Trustees or by any other person in respect of the activities or activities of the Trust (whether or not authorized by or pursuant to this Declaration of Trust); or (vi) subject to Section 9.04, any taxes, levies, imposts or charges or fines, penalties or interest in respect thereof payable by the Trust or by the Trustees or by any other person (except the Unitholder or Annuitant to the extent required by applicable tax laws) on behalf of or in connection with the activities or activities of the Trust (collectively, “Trust Liabilities”).

- 62 -

(b) No Unitholder or Annuitant, each in its capacity as such, shall be liable to indemnify the Trustees or any other person with respect to any Trust Liabilities.

(c) To the extent that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 14.05, any Unitholder or Annuitant, each in its capacity as such, may be determined by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be subject to or liable in respect of any Trust Liabilities, such Unitholder or Annuitant is entitled to be reimbursed out of the assets and property of the Trust for any payment of Trust Liabilities made by such Unitholder or Annuitant.

Section 14.05 Contractual Obligations of the Trust.

The Trustees and the officers and agents of the Trust shall make reasonable efforts where practicable to cause to be inserted in any written agreement, undertaking or obligation made, executed or entered into by or on behalf of the Trust an appropriate statement of the limitations of liability as set forth in Section 14.02, Section 14.04 and Section 14.05, but the omission of such statement, or a statement described in Section 4.02(b), from any such instrument will not render any Trustee, any Unitholder, or any officer or agent of the Trust liable to any person, nor will any Trustee or any Unitholder or any officer or agent of the Trust be liable to any person for such omission. If, notwithstanding this provision, any Trustee, Unitholder or any officer or agent of the Trust is held liable to any other person by reason of the omission of such statement from any such agreement, undertaking or obligation, such Trustee, Unitholder or officer or agent will be entitled to indemnity out of the property and assets of the Trust to the full extent of such liability and the costs of any litigation or other proceedings in which such liability has been determined, including the fees and disbursements of counsel.
