Distributions

Distributions to Unitholders

The Fund distributes a portion of its cash flow after adjusting for any amounts that the Trustees may reasonably consider to be necessary to provide for the payment of any costs or expenses, including any tax liability of the Fund, that have been or are reasonably expected to be incurred in the activities and operations of the Fund (to the extent that such costs or expenses have not otherwise been taken into account in the calculation of the cash flow of the Fund) and for reasonable reserves.

The cash flow of the Fund is computed as the sum of all cash amounts received by the fund in or in respect of such Distribution Period, including all income, interest, distributions, dividends, proceeds from the disposition of securities, returns of capital and repayments of indebtedness, as well as all amounts received by the Fund in any prior Distribution Period to the extent not previously distributed adjusted by a) all costs and expenses of the Fund that, in the opinion of the Trustees, may reasonably be considered to have accrued and become owing in respect of, or which relate to, such Distribution Period or a prior Distribution Period if not accrued in such prior period; (b) all amounts payable in cash that relate to the redemption or repurchase of Units and that have become payable by the Fund in such Distribution Period; (c) any interest expense incurred by the Fund between distributions; and (d) all amounts that relate to the repayment of the principal amount of any indebtedness of the Fund during such Distribution Period (net of any such amounts that have been refinanced during such Distribution Period). Distribution Period means each calendar month from and including the first day thereof and to and including the last day thereof.

Monthly distributions are to be paid to Unitholders of record on the last Business Day of each calendar month or such other date as may be determined from time to time by the Trustees (provided that December 31 in each calendar year shall be a distribution record date) and are to be paid generally on the 20th day of the following month (or if that day is not a Business Day, on the next following Business Day or such earlier date determined from time to time by the Trustees).

On March 17, 2008 the Fund announced that the monthly cash distribution of $0.10 per unit ($1.20 per unit on an annualized basis) will be restructured into distributions consisting of $0.05 per unit in cash and an “in-kind” distribution of $0.05 per unit in equity, to be settled with additional units issued to unitholders, subject to regulatory approval. In-kind units will be issued at a deemed price equal to the volume-weighted average price of all units traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the 10 trading days preceding the applicable record date. Unitholders will receive cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional units.

On August 12, 2008 the Fund announced a suspension of monthly distributions, beginning with the month ended
August 31, 2008.
