Under the Normal Course Issuer Bid that will commence on November 9, 2009 , if at any time the market price of the Trust's units is less than 90% of the net asset value per unit most recently determined, subject to compliance with any applicable regulatory requirements, the Trust will offer, through the facilities of a member broker of the TSX, to purchase for cancellation any units offered in the market at the then prevailing price, up to a maximum amount in any thirty day period of 2% (18,518 units) of the number of units outstanding on the date of acceptance of the notice of the Normal Course Issuer Bid by the TSX, subject to a maximum of 46,296 units (being 5% of the total number of units outstanding) over the twelve month period commencing November 9, 2009 and terminating November 8, 2010 . The Normal Course Issuer Bid recognizes the possibility that the units of the Trust may trade at a discount to their net asset value and is intended to minimize market value discounts from the net asset value.
