“The parties hereto acknowledge that the [Administrator] is entering into this agreement solely in its capacity as administrator on behalf of the Fund and/or the Trust and the obligations of the Fund and/or the Trust hereunder shall not be personally binding upon the trustees of the Fund and/or the Trust, the Administrator, or any registered or beneficial holder of trust units of the Fund and/or the Trust or any beneficiary under a plan of which a holder of trust units acts as a trustee or carrier, and that resort shall not be had to, nor shall recourse be sought from, any of the foregoing or the private property of any of the foregoing in respect of any indebtedness, obligation or liability of the Fund and/or the Trust arising hereunder or arising in connection herewith or from the matters to which this agreement relates, if any, including without limitation claims based on negligence or otherwise tortious behavior, and recourse shall be limited to, and satisfied only out of, (i) the “Fund Assets” as defined in the Fund Deed of Trust and/or (ii) the “Trust Assets” as defined in the Trust Deed of Trust.”

ACTIVITIES OF ADMINISTRATOR

5.1 Standard of Care and Delegation

	(a)		The Administrator shall discharge and perform the powers and duties delegated to it under this Agreement honestly, in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Fund, the Trust and the Partnership, and with the same degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person, having responsibilities of a similar nature to those hereunder, would exercise in comparable circumstances. The Administrator shall only be responsible for the powers, duties and responsibilities expressly granted or allocated to it under the Deeds, the Partnership Agreement and the other duties and obligations expressly delegated to it in this Agreement and no other obligation or duty (fiduciary, as a trustee or otherwise) in respect to the Administrator shall be implied. No other standard of care, other than as set forth in this Section 5.1(a), shall apply or be implied in relation to the performance of the powers and duties delegated to the Administrator under this Agreement.

	(b)		The Administrator may delegate specific aspects of its obligations hereunder to any other Person, provided that (i) such delegation shall not relieve the Administrator of any of its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the Administrator shall not delegate any of its obligations hereunder to manage and administer the affairs of the Fund, the Trust or the Partnership unless the Administrator shall have notified the Fund Trustees, the Trust Trustees or the General Partner, as the case may be, in writing of the name of the person to which delegation is to be made and the terms and conditions thereof; and (iii) the Administrator shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Person to take such action as is necessary to permit the Administrator to remain in compliance with its obligations, duties and covenants under this Agreement and to cause such Person to refrain from taking any action which would result in the Administrator being in breach of its obligations, duties and covenants under this Agreement.

	(c)		Notwithstanding Section 5.1(b), the Administrator shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly, be liable or held to account for the activities or inactivity of any Person to which any such obligations may have been delegated, provided that in making such specific delegation, the Administrator acted in accordance with Section 5.1(a). Where possible, the Administrator will structure any delegation in a manner that will permit the Fund Trustees, on behalf of the Fund, the Trust Trustees, on behalf of the Trust, and the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, as the case may be, to bring an action directly against the delegatee.

- 18 -

5.2 Reliance

In carrying out its duties hereunder, provided the Administrator has acted in accordance with the standard of care set out in Section 5.1(a) hereof, the Administrator and its delegates shall be entitled to rely on:

	(a)		statements of fact of other Persons (any of which may be Persons with whom the Administrator is affiliated or associated) who are considered by the Administrator, acting reasonably, to be knowledgeable of such facts; and

	(b)		statements, the opinion or advice of or information from any solicitor, auditor, valuer, engineer, surveyor, appraiser or other expert selected by the Administrator, provided that the Administrator exercised reasonable care and diligence in selecting such person to provide such statements, opinion, advice or information;

and may employ such experts as may be necessary to the proper discharge of its duties.

The Administrator may rely, and shall be protected in acting, upon any instrument or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and in force.

5.3 No Liability for Advice

The Administrator shall not be liable, answerable or accountable to the Fund, the Fund Trustees, the Fund Unitholders, the Trust, the Trust Trustees, the Trust Unitholders, the Partnership, the General Partner or the Partners for any loss or damage resulting from, incidental to or relating to the provision of services hereunder by the Administrator, or the advice given to the Fund Trustees, the Trust Trustees or the General Partner by the Administrator, including any exercise or refusal to exercise a discretion, any mistake or error of judgment or any act or omission believed by the Administrator to be within the scope of authority conferred on it by this Agreement, unless such loss or damage resulted from the fraud, willful default or gross negligence of the Administrator in performing its obligations hereunder.

5.4 Conflict of Interest

	(a)		To the extent there is a conflict of interest between the Administrator acting in that capacity, on the one hand, and the Fund, the Trust or the Partnership, on the other hand, in respect of any matter, the Administrator shall resolve such conflict, on a basis consistent with the objectives and funds of each group of interested parties and the time limitations on investment of such funds, all consistent with the duty of the Administrator to deal fairly and in good faith with each group or persons.

	(b)		In the event that the interests of the Administrator are in conflict with those of the Fund, the Fund Unitholders, the Trust, the Trust Unitholders, the Partnership or the Partners, the Administrator shall make decisions acting in good faith, having regard to the best interests of such parties.

- 19 -

5.5 Additional Information

Each of the Fund Trustees, the Trust Trustees and the General Partner acknowledge that conducting the activities contemplated herein may have the incidental effect of providing additional information with respect to or augmenting the value of assets in which the Administrator or its affiliates or associates have an interest and each of the Fund Trustees. the Trust Trustees and the General Partner agree that neither the Administrator nor its affiliates or associates shall be liable to account to the Fund, the Fund Trustees, the Fund Unitholders, the Trust, the Trust Trustees, the Trust Unitholders, the Partnership, the General Partner or the Partners with respect to such activities or results; provided, however, that the Administrator shall not, in making any use of any such information, do so in any manner that the Administrator knew, or ought reasonably to have known, would cause or result in a breach of any confidentiality provision of agreements to which the Fund Trustees or the Fund, or the Trust Trustees or the Trust, or the General Partner or the Partnership, as the case may be, are parties or are bound.

5.6 Confidentiality

Subject to Section 5.5, the Administrator shall not, without the prior written consent of the Fund Trustees, the Trust Trustees or the General Partner disclose to any third party any information about the Fund, the Trust or the Partnership, as the case may be, acquired or developed pursuant to the performance of services under this Agreement except that consent shall not be required to the following disclosure:

	(a)		information disclosed as required by Applicable Laws or as may be required by the regulations or policies of any Governmental Authority;

	(b)		information disclosed as necessary for the purposes of any debt or equity financing undertaken by the Fund, the Trust or the Partnership, as the case may be; or
