WHEREAS, the Company Board (as hereinafter defined), acting on the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) and after receiving legal and financial advice, has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to enter into this Agreement, that the Arrangement (as hereinafter defined) and the transactions contemplated hereby are fair to the Company Shareholders (other than ▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder (as hereinafter defined)) and recommends that the Company Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution (as hereinafter defined), all on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

The Company shall also provide to the Purchaser’s legal counsel on a timely basis, copies of any notice of appearance, evidence or other Court documents served on it in respect of the application for the Interim Order or the Final Order or any appeal therefrom and of any notice, whether written or oral, received by it indicating any intention to oppose the granting of the Interim Order or the Final Order or to appeal the Interim Order or the Final Order. The Company shall ensure that all materials filed with the Court in connection with the Arrangement are consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement. Legal counsel to the Purchaser shall be entitled to make such submissions on the hearing of the motion for the Interim Order and the application for the Final Order as such counsel considers appropriate; provided that the Purchaser’s legal counsel advises the Company’s legal counsel of the nature of any submissions with reasonably sufficient time prior to the hearing and agrees with them, acting reasonably, and such submissions are consistent in all material respects with this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement. The Company shall also oppose any proposal from any Person that the Final Order contains any provision inconsistent with this Agreement, and, if at any time after the issuance of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Date, the Company is required by the terms of the Final Order or by Law to return to Court with respect to the Final Order, the Company shall do so after notice to, and in reasonable consultation and reasonable cooperation with, the Purchaser.

Section 1.7 Articles of Arrangement and Effective Date.

(a) The Articles of Arrangement shall implement the Plan of Arrangement. The Articles of Arrangement shall include the form of the Plan of Arrangement attached to this Agreement as Schedule C, as it may be amended in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) The Company shall file the Articles of Arrangement with the Registrar, and the Effective Date shall occur, on the fifth Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent in Article V (excluding conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Effective Date, but subject to the satisfaction, or where not prohibited, the waiver by the applicable Party or Parties in whose favour the condition is, of those conditions as of the Effective Date), or on such other date as may be agreed to by the Parties in writing; provided that, the Articles of Arrangement shall not be filed with the Registrar except as expressly provided hereunder and with the Purchaser’s prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

- 7 -

Section 1.8 Payment of Consideration. The Purchaser will, by no later than the Effective Date and in any event at or prior to the filing by the Company of the Articles of Arrangement with the Registrar in accordance with Section 1.7(b), deposit or cause to be deposited in escrow with the Depositary (the terms and conditions of such escrow to be satisfactory to the Parties, acting reasonably) sufficient funds to satisfy the aggregate Consideration payable to the Company Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, less any amounts to be deposited by the Company with the Depositary in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement (including through the distribution of the Return of Capital Amount, if applicable, by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries).

Section 1.9 Withholding Taxes. The Purchaser, the Company and the Depositary, and each of their affiliates, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or to direct any Person to deduct and withhold on their behalf, from any consideration or other amounts payable or otherwise deliverable to the Company Shareholders, holders of Deferred Share Units, Stock Options, Restricted Shares and Performance Share Units, or any other Person under the Plan of Arrangement or this Agreement such amounts as the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary or their relevant affiliate, as applicable, reasonably determines are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration or other amounts payable under any provision of any applicable Law in respect of Taxes. Any such amounts so deducted and withheld from the consideration or such other amount payable pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement or this Agreement and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Company Shareholders, holders of Deferred Share Units, Stock Options, Restricted Shares and Performance Share Units, or any other Person in respect of which such deduction, withholding and remittance was made.

Section 1.10 Adjustments to Consideration. If, after the date hereof, the Company sets a record date that is at or prior to the Effective Time for any dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares (other than the Return of Capital Distribution (as defined in the Plan of Arrangement)), or otherwise declares or pays a dividend or distribution (other than the Return of Capital Distribution) at or prior to the Effective Time (including an amount that is paid after the Effective Time to the Company Shareholders of record at or prior to the Effective Time), then: (a) to the extent that the aggregate amount of such dividends and/or distributions per Common Share does not exceed the Consideration, the Consideration shall be reduced by the per Common Share aggregate amount of such dividends and/or distributions and (b) to the extent that the aggregate amount of such dividend and/or distributions per Common Share exceeds the Consideration, the Consideration shall be reduced to zero and such excess dividend or distribution amount shall be placed in escrow for the account of the Purchaser. In the event that, subsequent to the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time, the Common Shares issued and outstanding shall, through a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, distribution, share split, reverse share split or other similar change in the capitalization of the Company, increase or decrease in number or be changed into or exchanged for a different kind or number of securities, then an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Consideration to provide the Company Shareholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 1.10 shall be construed to supersede or in any way limit the prohibitions set forth in Section 4.1 hereof. For greater certainty, any adjustments to the Consideration shall be treated as adjustments to the applicable purchase price for applicable tax purposes.

- 8 -

Section 1.11 Shareholder Rights Plan. The Company and the Company Board shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all action necessary under the Shareholder Rights Plan to waive or suspend the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to the Arrangement or to approve the termination of the Shareholder Rights Plan effective at the Effective Time and to ensure that the Shareholder Rights Plan does not interfere with or impede the success of the Arrangement.

Article II.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except (a) as disclosed in the Public Disclosure (other than disclosures in the “Risk Factors” sections of any such filings and any disclosure of risks or other matters included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or other statements that are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), or (b) as disclosed in the separate disclosure letter which has been delivered by the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, including the documents attached to or incorporated by reference in such disclosure letter (the “Disclosure Letter”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Letter shall also be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other section or subsection in this Agreement to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure), the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:

Section 2.1 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries; Joint Ventures.

(a) The Company is a corporation established, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the Province of Ontario and PIPE LLC is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Company Subsidiary (other than PIPE LLC) is a corporation or other legal entity duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing, as applicable, under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, except where the failure to be so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each Company Subsidiary has the requisite corporate or other legal entity, as the case may be, power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such power and authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company has made available to the Purchaser (i) a true and complete copy of the articles of incorporation of the Company as in effect on the date hereof and together with all amendments thereto (the “Articles of Incorporation”), (ii) a true and complete copy of the by-laws of the Company, as in effect on the date hereof and together with all amendments thereto (the “By-Laws” and together with the Articles of Incorporation, the “Company Organizational Documents”), (iii) a true and complete copy of the certificate of formation of PIPE LLC as in effect on the date hereof and together with all amendments thereto (the “Certificate of Formation”) and (iv) a true and complete copy of the limited liability company

- 9 -

agreement of PIPE LLC as in effect on the date hereof and together with all amendments thereto (the “PIPE LLC Agreement” and together with the Certificate of Formation, the “PIPE LLC Organizational Documents”). Each of the Company Organizational Documents and PIPE LLC Organizational Documents are in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor PIPE LLC is in violation of any of the provisions of the Company Organizational Documents or PIPE LLC Organizational Documents (as applicable).

(c) Section 2.1(c) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete list of each Company Subsidiary, together with its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation.

- 44 -

with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to complete such transactions. Solely with respect to Disclosed Personal Information governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) or other provincial legislation deemed substantially similar thereto (“Canadian Privacy Laws”), and solely to the extent the following actions are both required by and in accordance with Canadian Privacy Laws:

(i) prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall (A) use reasonable efforts to protect the Disclosed Personal Information by using security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, and (B) not use or disclose the Disclosed Personal Information for any purposes other than those related to determining if it shall proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the performance of this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) following the Closing, the Purchaser (A) shall not use or disclose the Disclosed Personal Information for any purposes other than (1) those purposes for which the information was initially collected, permitted to be used or disclosed prior to the Closing, or for which additional consent from affected individuals is obtained, or (2) as otherwise permitted or required by applicable Laws, (B) shall give effect to any withdrawal of consent from the affected individuals with respect to the Disclosed Personal Information, and (C) shall work with the Company to notify, to the extent required by any Canadian Privacy Laws, the affected individuals within a reasonable time after Closing, that the transactions have been completed and that the Disclosed Personal Information has been disclosed to the Purchaser; and

(iii) if the Closing does not occur, the Purchaser shall, as instructed by the Company, return to the Company or securely destroy the Disclosed Personal Information within a reasonable period of time following such instruction.

Each Party hereto will have the right to review in advance, and each Party will consult and cooperate with the other Parties and will consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with, any filing, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will provide

- 45 -

the other party with final copies thereof, except in respect of competitively or commercially sensitive information, which competitively and/or commercially sensitive information will be redacted from communications to be shared with the other party and will be provided (on an unredacted basis) only to the external legal counsel or external expert of the other and shall not be shared by such counsel or expert with any other Person. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding, each Party hereto will permit authorized Representatives of the other Parties to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Arrangement and to cause to be satisfied all conditions precedent to its obligations under this Agreement and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents from any Person the Purchaser elects to seek, acting reasonably, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchaser’s structuring in connection with the acquisition and/or the Purchaser’s financing thereof, including, in each case consistent with the foregoing, (i) preparing and filing as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of this Agreement in the case of: (A) a request for an advance ruling certificate pursuant to Section 102 of the Competition Act, and if deemed advisable by the Purchaser or the Company, acting reasonably, a pre-merger notification filing under Part IX of the Competition Act, and (B) an application for review under Part IV of the Investment Canada Act, with the objective of being in a position to consummate the Arrangement as promptly as practicable following the date of the Shareholder Meeting, all documentation to effect all necessary or advisable applications, notices, petitions, filings, and other documents and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits, rulings, authorizations and clearances necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Governmental Entity or third party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any that are required to be obtained under any federal, provincial, state or local Law (including the filings required to obtain Competition Act Clearance and Investment Canada Act Approval) or Material Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound, (ii) defending all lawsuits or other legal proceedings against it or any of its affiliates relating to or challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Arrangement (“Transaction Litigation”), and (iii) effecting all necessary or advisable registrations and other filings required under Securities Laws or any other federal, provincial, state or local Law relating to the Arrangement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any consents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any Person (other than from a Governmental Entity) or any other consents the Purchaser elects to seek, acting reasonably, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchaser’s structuring in connection with the acquisition and/or the Purchaser’s financing thereof, (i) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, none of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any commitment or incur any liability or other obligations, (ii) none of the Purchaser or any of its affiliates shall be required to pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other

- 46 -

consideration, make any commitment or incur any liability or other obligations and (iii) the consummation of the Arrangement shall not be conditioned on, or delayed or postponed as a result of the receipt of (or failure to receive) such consents. In the event that the Company fails to obtain any such consent, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Purchaser, to minimize any adverse effect upon the Company and the Purchaser and their respective affiliates and businesses resulting, or which would reasonably be expected to result, after the Effective Time, from the failure to obtain such consent. For purposes of obtaining Investment Canada Act Approval, the Purchaser’s commercially reasonable efforts means negotiating in good faith and agreeing to such undertakings to the Minister relating to the Company’s Canadian business operations as are required to obtain Investment Canada Act Approval; provided that (i) the Purchaser shall not be required to agree to any set of undertakings or other obligations that is, in aggregate, materially more burdensome than any set previously agreed to in connection with any other acquisition of a real estate business in Canada by affiliates of the Purchaser during the preceding seven years, and (ii) the Purchaser shall not be required to agree to any undertakings or other obligations that would require the Purchaser, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to violate or amend any Material Contracts (or any other management and/or services agreements relating to the Company’s or the Company Subsidiaries’ joint ventures or co-owned properties) or obtain consent from the Company’s or the Company Subsidiaries’ existing joint venture partners or co-investors.

(c) Subject to applicable Law, each Party shall keep the other Parties reasonably informed regarding any Transaction Litigation unless doing so would, in the reasonable judgment of such Party, jeopardize any privilege of such Party or any of its Subsidiaries with respect thereto. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall promptly advise the Purchaser orally and in writing of the initiation of and any material developments regarding, and shall reasonably consult with and permit the Purchaser and its Representatives to participate in the defense, negotiations or settlement of, any Transaction Litigation, and the Company shall give consideration to the Purchaser’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Company Subsidiaries nor any of its or their Representatives to, compromise, settle or come to a settlement arrangement regarding any Transaction Litigation or consent thereto unless the Purchaser shall otherwise consent in writing (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser and use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the TSX and NYSE, as applicable, to cause as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time the delisting of the Common Shares from the TSX and NYSE, the deregistration of the Common Shares under the Exchange Act and the Company to cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian Securities Laws as promptly as practicable after such delisting.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Purchaser and the Company shall not, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to, enter into, or agree to enter into, any agreement to acquire any real property (or any interest therein) or take any other action, whether directly or indirectly, after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Effective Date, that would be reasonably likely to (i) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity undertaking a materially more

- 47 -

significant or longer review of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Arrangement, (ii) materially increase the risk of not being able to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any such order on appeal or otherwise, or (iii) otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Arrangement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.4 but subject to the compliance of the Company with the provisions of this Section 4.4, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company may, directly or indirectly, through

- 48 -

any Representative, in response to an unsolicited written bona fide Acquisition Proposal by a third party made after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 4.4 (it being agreed that the Company Board may correspond in writing with any Person making such a written Acquisition Proposal to request clarification of the terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal), (i) furnish non-public information to such third party (and such third party’s Representatives) making such Acquisition Proposal (provided, however, that (A) prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from the third party an executed confidentiality agreement on customary terms no more favourable in any material respect to such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such agreement may permit the counterparty to make a confidential Acquisition Proposal that may constitute a Superior Proposal to the Company Board (such confidentiality agreement, an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”), and (B) any non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that is provided to such third party (or its Representatives) shall, to the extent not previously provided to the Purchaser, be provided to the Purchaser as promptly as practicable after providing it to such third party (and in any event within 48 hours thereafter)), and (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations with such third party (and such third party’s Representatives) with respect to the Acquisition Proposal if, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

(c) The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary by any third party that informs the Company that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, or any Inquiry from any Person seeking to have discussions or negotiations with the Company relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall identify the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry and shall indicate the material terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposals, Inquiries, proposals or offers, to the extent known (including, if applicable, providing copies of any written Inquiries, requests, proposals or offers and any proposed agreements related thereto, to the extent available, which may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect confidential information of the business or operations of the Person making such Acquisition Proposals, Inquiries, proposals or offers). The Company shall also promptly, and in any event within 48 hours, notify the Purchaser if it enters into discussions or negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal or provides non-public information to any Person in accordance with Section 4.4(b), notify the Purchaser of any change to the financial and other material terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal and otherwise keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, discussions or negotiations on a current basis, including by providing a copy of all proposals, offers, drafts of proposed agreements and correspondence relating thereto. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality or similar agreement that would prohibit it from providing such information to the Purchaser.

(d) Except as permitted by this Section 4.4(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify in any manner adverse to the Purchaser (or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner

- 49 -

adverse to the Purchaser), the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, adopt or recommend (or publicly propose to approve, adopt or recommend) any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Circular (any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.4(d), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (iv) approve, adopt, declare advisable or recommend (or agree to, resolve or propose to approve, adopt, declare advisable or recommend), or cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board shall be permitted to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board has received an unsolicited written bona fide Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of this Section 4.4 (and the Company is not in breach of this Section 4.4(d) or Section 4.4(e) (other than, in the case of Section 4.4(e), any breach that has a de minimus effect), and is not in breach of the other subsections of this Section 4.4 in any material respect) that, in the good faith determination of the Company Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, after having complied with, and giving effect to all of the adjustments which may be offered by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.4(e), and such Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn.

(e) The Company Board shall only be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted under Section 4.4(d) if (i) the Company has provided prior written notice (a “Notice of Change of Recommendation”) to the Purchaser that the Company intends to take such action, identifying the Person making the Superior Proposal and describing the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal that is the basis of such action, including, if applicable, copies of any written proposals or offers and any proposed agreements related to a Superior Proposal (it being agreed that the delivery of the Notice of Change of Recommendation by the Company shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), (ii) during the period following the Purchaser’s receipt of the Notice of Change of Recommendation and ending at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5^th Business Day thereafter (a “Notice of Change Period”), the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with the Purchaser in good faith (to the extent the Purchaser desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (iii) following the end of the Notice of Change Period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by the Purchaser in response to the Notice of Change of Recommendation or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Change of Recommendation continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such a Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Change of Recommendation, and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 4.4(e); provided, however, that the Notice of Change Period shall be deemed to be a period ending at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the 3^rd Business Day following receipt by the Purchaser of any such new Notice of Change of Recommendation.

(f) If the Company provides the Purchaser with a Notice of Change of Recommendation on a date that is five Business Days or less prior to the scheduled date of the Shareholder Meeting, then the Company may (or, at the Purchaser’s request, will) postpone or adjourn the Shareholder Meeting to a date that is not later than the earlier of ten Business Days

after the previously scheduled date of the Shareholder Meeting and the tenth Business Day prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, in no event shall the Shareholder Meeting be held on a date that is more than 30 days after the date for which the Shareholder Meeting was originally scheduled.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 4.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from making any disclosure to the shareholders of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ duties under applicable Law (for the avoidance of doubt, it being agreed that the issuance by the Company or the Company Board of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change) or is required by applicable Law; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Company Board shall be permitted to recommend that the shareholders of the Company tender any securities in connection with any take-over bid that is an Acquisition Proposal or effect an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect thereto, except as permitted by Section 4.4(d) and Section 4.4(e).

(h) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Company Subsidiary to, terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of (A) any standstill or confidentiality agreement to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party, except to allow the applicable party to make a non-public Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board or (B) subject to Section 1.11, the Shareholder Rights Plan. For greater certainty, in no event shall the automatic termination, in accordance with its terms, of any such standstill or confidentiality agreement upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement be considered a violation of this Section 4.4(h).

Section 4.5 Resignations. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to the Purchaser at the Closing evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of the resignation or removal effective as of the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement, of those directors (or persons occupying similar positions in any limited liability company or other entity) and/or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary designated by the Purchaser to the Company in writing at least three Business Days prior to the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the resignation or removal of any such officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall not, in and of itself, constitute a resignation or termination of such officer’s employment with the Company or any Company Subsidiary, as applicable, for any purpose, and shall not affect any rights that such officer may have with respect to severance payments and benefits in the event of a termination of the officer’s employment in connection with a change in control of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

Section 4.6 Public Announcements. The Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other Party; provided, however, that a Party may, without the prior consent of the other Party, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by applicable Law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange or quotation system if the Party issuing such press release or making such public statement has provided the other Party with an opportunity to review and comment (and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and

- 51 -

contents of any such press release or public statement) upon any such press release or public statement; provided further that such consultation and consent shall not be required with respect to any release, communication or announcement in connection with an Adverse Recommendation Change made in accordance with this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that the Company will file this Agreement and a material change report relating thereto on SEDAR+ and will file this Agreement and various related disclosures with the SEC, which shall be subject to the immediately preceding sentence and Section 1.4. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall prevent (a) the Company or the Purchaser from making (i) internal announcements to employees and having discussions with shareholders, financial analysts and other stakeholders; or (ii) public announcements in the Ordinary Course that do not relate specifically to this Agreement or the Arrangement, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) so long as such announcements and discussions are substantially similar in all material respects with the most recent press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Company in compliance with this Agreement, or (b) the Purchaser or its affiliates from communicating with their respective investors concerning the terms of the Arrangement or funding arrangements in connection therewith.

Section 4.7 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each current or former director or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries and each fiduciary under benefit plans of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against (i) all losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, claims, damages or liabilities or, subject to the proviso of the next sentence, amounts paid in settlement, arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the completion of the transactions set out in the Plan of Arrangement (and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time) to the extent that they are based on or arise out of the fact that such Person is or was a director, officer or fiduciary under benefit plans, including payment on behalf of or advancement to the Indemnified Party of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to such indemnification and/or advancement (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), and (ii) all Indemnified Liabilities to the extent they are based on or arise out of or pertain to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, and including any expenses incurred in enforcing such Person’s rights under this Section 4.7; provided, that (x) the Company shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (y) except for legal counsel engaged for one or more Indemnified Parties on the date hereof, the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 4.7(a) to pay the fees and expenses of more than one legal counsel (selected by a plurality of the applicable Indemnified Parties) for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction with respect to any single legal action except to the extent that, on the advice of any such Indemnified Party’s counsel, two or more of such Indemnified Parties shall have conflicting interests in the outcome of such action. In the event of any such loss, expense, claim, damage or liability (whether or not asserted before the Effective Time), the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties promptly, and in any event within ten days, after statements therefor are received and otherwise advance to such Indemnified Party upon request, reimbursement of documented expenses reasonably incurred (provided that, if legally required, the person to whom

- 52 -

expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advance if it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person is not legally entitled to indemnification under applicable Law).

(b) From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to maintain the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policies (accurate and complete copies of which have been previously provided to the Purchaser) in effect on the date hereof (the “D&O Insurance”) for a period of not less than six years after the Effective Date; provided that the Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms no less advantageous to such former directors or officers so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time; provided further that in no event shall the Purchaser or the Company be required to pay annual premiums in the aggregate of more than an amount equal to 300% of the current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”) to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto; provided further that if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to procure and maintain for such six-year period as much coverage as can be reasonably obtained for the Maximum Amount. The Purchaser shall have the option to cause coverage to be extended under the Company’s D&O Insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy or policies on terms and conditions no less advantageous than the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, subject to the limitations set forth in the provisos above in this Section 4.7(b), and such “tail” policy or policies shall satisfy the provisions of this Section 4.7(b).

(c) The obligations of the Purchaser and the Company under this Section 4.7 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the Arrangement and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 4.7 applies (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 4.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4.7, each of whom (including his or her heirs, executors or administrators and his or her Representatives, successors and assigns) may enforce the provisions of this Section 4.7) without the consent of the Indemnified Party (including the successors, assigns and heirs of such Indemnified Party) affected thereby. In the event that the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, or if the Purchaser dissolves the Company, then, and in each such case, the Purchaser shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.7.

(d) For a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Company shall provide to the Indemnified Parties the same rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses as provided to the Indemnified Parties under the provisions of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ charter, by-laws or similar organizational documents as in effect as of the date hereof and the Company’s charter, by-laws or similar organizational documents shall not contain any provisions contradictory to such rights. The contractual indemnification rights set forth in Section 4.7(d) of the Disclosure Letter in existence on the date of this Agreement with any of the current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be assumed by the Company without any further

- 53 -

action, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the Effective Time.

(e) The provisions of this Section 4.7 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 4.7, is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company, any Company Subsidiaries or the Indemnified Parties, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.7 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

Section 4.8 Employee Matters.

(a) From the Effective Time until the first anniversary of the Effective Date (or until the applicable Continuing Employee’s employment is terminated, if earlier), the Purchaser shall provide or cause its Subsidiaries to provide (i) to individuals who are employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continue employment with the Purchaser or any Subsidiary of the Purchaser following the Effective Time (including, upon their return to active employment, employees who are not actively at work on account of illness, disability, workers’ compensation or leave of absence) (each, a “Continuing Employee”), annual base salary and AIP Opportunity (as defined below) that in each case that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the annual base salary and AIP Opportunity that in each case provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Purchaser shall not be required to issue equity or equity-based compensation and may instead provide Continuing Employees with substitute cash-based long-term incentive compensation opportunities and (y) a portion of the AIP Opportunity equal to or less than the portion of the AIP Opportunity settled in equity or equity-based awards with respect to the Company’s fiscal year 2023 annual incentive plan may be granted on terms and conditions (including vesting and forfeiture terms) that are substantially similar to such equity or equity-based awards issued with respect to the Company’s fiscal year 2023 annual incentive plan, and (ii) to the Continuing Employees employee benefits (including benefits provided under the Employee Benefit Plans, severance benefits and vacation entitlement but excluding any Special Compensation) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the employee benefits (including benefits provided under the Employee Benefit Plans, severance benefits and vacation entitlement but excluding any Special Compensation) provided to the Continuing Employees, collectively, immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of this Section 4.8, (A) “AIP Opportunity” shall mean, with respect to a Continuing Employee, such Continuing Employee’s aggregate annual award opportunity under the Company’s fiscal year 2024 annual incentive plan or metrics-based cash incentive plan for which the Continuing Employee is otherwise eligible and (B) “Special Compensation” shall mean any transaction bonus awards, special or non-recurring incentive awards, retention awards, awards under the long-term incentive plans of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any affiliate of the Company (including in respect of any Co-Investment Vehicle) and similar incentives. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser’s obligations with respect to AIP Opportunity under this Section 4.8(a) shall take into account and be reduced by any payments made by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with the Closing under the Company’s fiscal year 2024 annual incentive plan or metrics-based cash incentive plans, such that there is no duplication of benefits.

- 54 -

(b) With respect to each employee benefit plan, program, policy or agreement or other arrangement maintained by the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries following the Closing and in which any of the Continuing Employees participate (each, a “Purchaser Plan”), and except to the extent necessary to avoid duplication of benefits, service with the Company or any Company Subsidiary and the predecessor of any of them shall be treated as service with the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting (if applicable) and entitlement to benefits including any paid time off and severance plans (but not for accrual of or entitlement to pension benefits, post-employment welfare benefits, special or early retirement programs, or similar plans which may be in effect from time to time), to the extent such service was recognized by the Company or any Company Subsidiary as of the date hereof. The Purchaser shall take all necessary actions so that each Continuing Employee shall after the Effective Time continue to be credited with the unused paid time off credited to such employee through the Effective Time under the applicable paid time off policies of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (subject to the same forfeiture conditions and accrual limits applicable prior to the Effective Time).

(c) The Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions, actively at work requirements, waiting periods or any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the Purchaser Plans with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to all Continuing Employees and their dependents under any Purchaser Plan that is a welfare plan that such Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Date, other than limitations, exclusions, actively at work requirements, waiting periods or other restrictions that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Effective Date under any Employee Benefit Plan and (ii) provide each such Continuing Employee and his or her dependents with full credit for any co-payments and deductibles satisfied prior to the Effective Date for the plan year within which the Effective Time occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible, co-payment, co-insurance or out-of-pocket requirements, and for any lifetime maximums, under any welfare plans that such employees and his or her eligible dependents are eligible to participate in after the Effective Date.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.6, no provision of this Section 4.8, express or implied, (i) is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person (including any Continuing Employee and any dependent or beneficiary thereof) other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, (ii) shall constitute an amendment of, or an undertaking to amend, any Employee Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) is intended to prevent the Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any Employee Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms or terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee.

(e) Effective as of the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the amendments to the Employee Benefit Plans described in Section 4.8(e) of the Disclosure Letter.

(f) Not less than five (5) and not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Company Board shall, in good faith consistent with past practice, (i) determine, with respect to all outstanding Performance Share Units in respect of the fiscal years in

- 55 -

a Performance Period (as defined in the Performance Share Unit Plan) scheduled to end after the Effective Time, the Performance Multiplier (as defined in the Performance Share Unit Plan, but excluding clause (iii) of Section 8(b) of the Performance Share Unit Plan) , and (ii) following such determination, adjust the number Performance Share Units in the account of each holder of outstanding Performance Share Units in accordance with Section 6(f) of the Performance Share Unit Plan; provided, that, prior to making the adjustment described in clause (ii), the Company shall inform Purchaser of the Performance Multiplier determinations made under clause (i).

(g) The Company shall, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Plan, take all actions necessary or appropriate to fully vest each Stock Option outstanding effective as of at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Date and, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, give notice to each holder of Stock Options outstanding as of such date of the acceleration of such Stock Options and the ability of such holder to exercise such Stock Options not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, such that any such Stock Options that remain unexercised as of the Effective Date shall terminate in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

(h) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Company Board, as applicable (or appropriate committee with delegated authority therefrom), shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement with respect to the Incentive Securities (as defined in the Plan of Arrangement), and shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Employee Share Plans and all grant agreements thereunder in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

Section 4.9 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) The Company shall give prompt notice to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the Company, of any notice or other communication received by such Party or its Subsidiaries from any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement, the Arrangement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Arrangement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Purchaser shall notify the Company prior to making any request of another Person for any consents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchaser’s structuring in connection with the acquisition and/or the Purchaser’s financing thereof, and shall keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of such consents (including providing the Company with copies of all material documentation and written correspondence in connection therewith). In connection with obtaining any such consents, the Company shall promptly following the Purchaser’s request deliver to the applicable Person a consent request prepared by the Purchaser in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall give prompt notice to the Purchaser of any notice or other communication received by it or any Company Subsidiary from any such Person whose consent is sought (including providing the Purchaser with copies of all material documentation and written correspondence in connection therewith).

(c) The Company shall give prompt notice to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the Company, if (i) any representation or warranty made by

- 56 -

it contained in this Agreement becomes untrue or inaccurate such that the applicable closing conditions would reasonably be expected to be incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date or (ii) the Company fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement and shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the Party receiving such notice.

Section 4.10 Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Company shall immediately suspend the Dividend Reinvestment Plan in accordance with its terms in respect of all dividends or distributions declared or payable by the Company on or after the date hereof and in respect of all cash purchases of Common Shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and shall not reinstate the Dividend Reinvestment Plan prior to the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.11 Taxes.

(a) U.S. REIT Matters. The Company shall not take any action that would, or fail to take any action, the failure of which would, reasonably be expected to cause any U.S. REIT Subsidiary (i) to fail to qualify for taxation as a U.S. REIT for its current taxable year and any other taxable year that includes the Effective Date, (ii) to become liable for U.S. federal income Tax under section 857(b) or 4981 of the Code, or (iii) cause any Company Subsidiary that is currently treated as a partnership, disregarded entity, QRS, Taxable REIT Subsidiary or U.S. REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes to cease to be treated as such, as the case may be.

(b) Tax Opinion. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written opinions of ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or other nationally recognized tax counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, and dated as of the Effective Date, to the effect that (subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and representations, including representations made by such U.S. REIT Subsidiary), with respect to each U.S. REIT Subsidiary, for all taxable periods commencing with the first tax year in which such U.S. REIT Subsidiary elected to be taxed as a U.S. REIT, through the Effective Date, the U.S. REIT Subsidiary is and has been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a U.S. REIT, and its actual method of operation has enabled, and will continue to enable, such U.S. REIT Subsidiary to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a U.S. REIT (the “REIT Opinions”). Each of the preceding opinions shall be based upon customary factual representation letters signed by an officer of the Company containing representations of the U.S. REIT Subsidiary.

(c) Neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall knowingly take any action nor knowingly enter into any transaction (other than (i) the implementation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement or the Support Agreement or (ii) as may be requested by the Purchaser in writing or is consented by the Purchaser in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially reducing or eliminating the amount of the tax cost “bump” pursuant to paragraphs 88(1)(c) and 88(1)(d) of the Tax Act in respect of the securities of any Subsidiaries of the Company and other non-depreciable capital property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the date hereof, upon an amalgamation or winding up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors.

- 57 -

Section 4.12 Other Transactions. The Purchaser shall have the option, in its sole discretion and without requiring the further consent of any of the Company, the Company Board, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any board of directors, shareholders, members or partners of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, and the Company shall and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, upon reasonable advance written notice (and in any event at least 7 Business Days prior to the Effective Date unless providing shorter notice is not prejudicial to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries) to the Company setting out a description of any requested Restructuring Transaction(s), to require that the Company, immediately prior to the Closing, (a) incorporate or form one or more new corporations, limited partnerships, limited liability companies or unlimited liability companies as a wholly-owned Company Subsidiary, (b) continue or redomicile one or more wholly-owned Company Subsidiaries to another jurisdiction in Canada or the United States, (c) convert or cause the conversion of one or more wholly-owned Company Subsidiaries that are organized as corporations into limited partnerships, limited liability companies or unlimited liability companies and one or more Company Subsidiaries that are organized as limited partnerships, limited liability companies or unlimited liability companies pursuant to the laws of Canada or any province thereof or any state of the United States into limited liability companies, limited partnerships or corporations, on the basis of organizational documents as reasonably requested by the Purchaser, (d) sell, transfer or distribute or cause to be sold, transferred or distributed (by merger, amalgamation or otherwise) shares, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity interests owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company in PIPE LLC or any one or more wholly-owned Company Subsidiaries or a Subsidiary of Tricon Lifestyle Rental Investment LP (subject to the rights of the partners of the applicable Subsidiaries of Tricon Lifestyle Rental Investment LP under the applicable Joint Venture Agreements), or issue or cause to be issued shares, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity interests in PIPE LLC or a wholly-owned Company Subsidiary, in each case at a price and on such other terms as designated by the Purchaser, (e) sell, transfer or distribute or cause to be sold, transferred or distributed any of the assets of the Company, PIPE LLC, Tricon Lifestyle Rental Investment LP (subject to the rights of the partners of the applicable Subsidiaries of Tricon Lifestyle Rental Investment LP under the applicable Joint Venture Agreements) or one or more wholly-owned Company Subsidiaries or Subsidiaries of Tricon Lifestyle Rental Investment LP at a price and on such other terms as designated by the Purchaser, (f) exercise any right of the Company or a Company Subsidiary to terminate, or cause to be terminated, any Contract to which the Company or a Company Subsidiary is a Party, (g) make a U.S. tax entity classification election with respect to any Company Subsidiary and (h) contribute or caused to be contributed intercompany debt, assets or Company Subsidiaries to one or more existing or newly-formed Company Subsidiaries (clauses (a) through (h) being “Restructuring Transactions”); provided, that (i) subject to clause (iv) below, the Restructuring Transactions shall be implemented immediately prior to, as close as reasonably possible to, or concurrent with the Closing, (ii) none of the Restructuring Transactions shall delay or prevent the Closing or be prejudicial to the Company Shareholders in any material respect, (iii) in connection with a Restructuring Transaction, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action in contravention of (A) any organizational document of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, (B) any Material Contract, or (C) applicable Law, the Interim Order or Final Order, (iv) any such Restructuring Transactions shall be contingent upon all of the conditions set forth in Article V having been satisfied (or, with respect to Section 5.2, waived) and receipt by the Company of a written notice from the Purchaser to such effect and that the Purchaser is prepared to proceed immediately with the Closing and any other evidence reasonably requested

- 58 -

by the Company that the Closing will occur (it being understood that in any event the Restructuring Transactions will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Closing), (v) in connection with a Restructuring Transaction, such actions (or the inability to complete the Restructuring Transactions) shall not affect or modify in any respect the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement, including the amount of, or timing of, payment of the Consideration, (vi) in connection with a Restructuring Transaction, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to take any such action that the Company reasonably determines, after prior consultation with the Purchaser, could adversely affect the classification of any U.S. REIT Subsidiary as a U.S. REIT or could subject any U.S. REIT Subsidiary to any “prohibited transactions” taxes or other material Taxes under sections 857(b), 860(c) or 4981 of the Code, (vii) in connection with a Restructuring Transaction, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to take any such action that would result in the withdrawal or material modification of the Fairness Opinions or would unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in any material respect, and (viii) in connection with a Restructuring Transaction, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to take any such action that could result in Taxes being imposed on, or other adverse Tax consequences to, any Company Shareholder or holder of Preferred Units, Deferred Share Units, Stock Options, Restricted Shares or Performance Share Units unless the Company consents to such transaction with specific reference to this clause (viii) (which the Parties agree may include a requirement that such Persons are indemnified by the Purchaser for such incremental Taxes). Any Restructuring Transactions shall be undertaken in the manner (including in the order) specified by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide documentation to implement a Restructuring Transaction reasonably in advance of the Effective Date (and in any event at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, work cooperatively with the Purchaser and its Representatives to implement the Restructuring Transactions, including effecting any necessary amendments to the Plan of Arrangement, if any, to the extent permitted by the Plan of Arrangement or this Agreement and obtaining any required consents. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be deemed to apply to, or deemed breached or violated by, any of the Restructuring Transactions. This Section 4.12 shall not apply to, and the Restructuring Transactions shall not include, the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Arrangement or any other actions or transactions required to be taken pursuant to the other Sections of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall take all actions that are necessary to enable the repayment or settlement, at or before the Effective Time, of any intercompany loans owing by the Company to any Company Subsidiary that would otherwise be outstanding at the Effective Time. The Parties agree that any transactions contemplated or required to be taken by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to the other Sections of this Agreement or the Plan or Arrangement (including pursuant to Section 4.17) are not Restructuring Transactions. The Purchaser shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in performing their obligations under this Section 4.12, and the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries arising therefrom (and in the event the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, the Purchaser

- 59 -

shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or the Subsidiaries not previously reimbursed).

Section 4.13 Cooperating Regarding Existing Loans.

(a) Promptly following the Purchaser’s request, the Company shall deliver to each of its and the Company Subsidiaries’ lenders under the Existing Loan Documents (and any other Party whose consent is required under the Existing Loan Documents) (the “Existing Lenders”) a notice prepared by the Purchaser, in form and substance reasonably approved by the Company, requesting that such Existing Lender deliver to the Purchaser a written statement or documents (the “Assumption Documents”) (i) confirming (A) that, other than the Existing Loan Documents, there are no documents or agreements to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is currently bound in favour of such Existing Lender with respect to the Existing Indebtedness, (B) the amount of the Existing Indebtedness, (C) the date to which interest and principal has been paid, and (D) the amount of any escrows being held by such Existing Lender under the Existing Loan Documents; and (ii) consenting to (A) the assumption of the Existing Indebtedness, to the extent applicable, and the consummation of the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) to the modifications of the Existing Loan Documents that the Purchaser may reasonably request after the date hereof; provided that the Company shall be informed of any such request or modification; provided, further, that, in the event the Purchaser requests Assumption Documents in accordance with this Section 4.13, (x) the consummation of the Arrangement shall not be conditioned on, or delayed or postponed as a result of the receipt of (or failure to receive) such Assumption Documents from all or any portion of the Existing Lenders and (y) the Assumption Documents will be effective as of or immediately prior to and conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any indebtedness that the Purchaser intends not to repay or cause the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries not to repay at the Closing, the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries shall reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with maintaining such continuing indebtedness. In furtherance of the foregoing, at the option of the Purchaser, (1) the Purchaser shall have the right to approach any such lender regarding maintaining the indebtedness (provided that the Company is provided a reasonable opportunity to participate in the discussions and the Purchaser shall provide the Company with updates on the status of discussions upon the Company’s reasonable request) and make all determinations and decisions regarding such indebtedness and any payment of costs or fees relating thereto and (2) the Company shall provide the Purchaser with reasonable access to any such lender and shall, if required by the Purchaser, provide reasonable cooperation in connection with such indebtedness, in each case, in the same manner and with the same conditions as provided in Section 4.14(a).

(b) The Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses payable in connection with the Assumption Documents, including premiums for any endorsements to or re-date of the title insurance policy previously issued to the Existing Lenders, servicing fees, rating agency fees, assignment and assumption fees, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and processing fees required to be paid to the Existing Lenders as a condition to issuance of the Assumption Documents (collectively, the “Assumption Expenses”). If applicable, the Purchaser shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for any reasonable out-of-pocket Assumption Expenses and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation and actions under this Section 4.13.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(ii) or Section 6.1(c)(iii), or by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(ii) at a time the Company was entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(ii) or Section 6.1(c)(iii), then the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to, or as directed by, the Company an amount equal to the Purchaser Termination Fee by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by the Company promptly but in no event later than three Business Days after such termination. The “Purchaser Termination Fee” shall be an amount equal to five-hundred twenty-six million dollars ($526,000,000).

(d) The Parties agree that the agreements contained in this Section 6.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that neither the Company Termination Fee nor the Purchaser Termination Fee is a penalty, but rather is liquidated

- 71 -

damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, in the circumstances in which the such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Arrangement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and as proceeds of disposition for the rights of the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided elsewhere herein, if the Purchaser or its designee receives the full payment of the Company Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to Section 6.3(b) under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee was payable, (i) the receipt by the Purchaser or its designee of the Company Termination Fee, together with any amount payable pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 6.3(d), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all losses or damages suffered by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates or Representatives in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of the Purchaser or any of its affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, securityholders, managers, members or affiliates arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Arrangement or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination, and (ii) upon payment of the Company Termination Fee, together with any amount payable pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 6.3(d), none of such Persons shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, its termination or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that the Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, is required to commence litigation to seek all or a portion of the amounts payable under this Section 6.3, and it prevails in such litigation, it shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all amounts that it is otherwise entitled to receive under this Section 6.3, all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which it has incurred in enforcing its rights hereunder.

Article VII.
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Non-survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, exhibit, schedule or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, shall survive beyond the Closing, except for those covenants and agreements contained herein and therein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing (including the covenants and agreements in Section 4.7, Section 4.8, and this Article VII).

Section 7.2 Entire Agreement; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement (including the exhibits, schedules and other documents delivered pursuant hereto) constitutes, together with the Guaranty and the Confidentiality Agreement, the entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

- 72 -

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of Law (including by merger or consolidation) or otherwise by any of the Parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that, prior to the distribution of the Circular to the Company Shareholders, the Purchaser may designate, by written notice to the Company, one or more wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiaries to be a party to this Agreement and the Arrangement in lieu of the Purchaser, in which event, all references herein to the Purchaser shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary, except that all representations and warranties made herein with respect to the Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided, further, that any such designation shall not impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For greater certainty, the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any assignment of this Agreement. Any assignment in violation of this Section 7.2(b) shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 7.4 Governing Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal Laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to its rules of conflict of Laws.

(b) Each of the Parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submits to and agrees to be subject to the personal jurisdiction of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Chosen Court”), for the purpose of any claim, action, suit or proceeding (whether based in contract, tort or otherwise), directly or indirectly, arising out of or relating to

- 74 -

this Agreement or the actions of the Parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, (ii) irrevocably agrees that all such claims, actions, suits or proceedings may and shall be brought before, and determined by, the Chosen Court, (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (iv) agrees that it will not (except for a suit on the judgment as expressly permitted by Section 7.4(d)) bring any claim, action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Chosen Court.

(c) Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself or its property, in the manner provided by Section 7.3 and nothing in this Section 7.4 shall affect the right of any Party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(d) Each Party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any claim, suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by ▇▇▇.

(e) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.4(e).

Section 7.5 Interpretation; Certain Definitions. The Parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, exhibit or schedule, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an exhibit or schedule to, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings for this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the

- 75 -

words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to any determination to be made by the Company Board herein shall include reference to the Board making such determination with all interested directors abstaining from voting in respect thereof. Representations made by the Company with respect to Company Subsidiaries shall, with respect only to The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Companies LP, be made to the knowledge of the Company. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other instrument made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor Laws. References to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. All references to “dollars” or “$” refer to currency of the United States.

Section 7.6 Parties In Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns, and, except as provided in Section 4.7, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The Parties hereto further agree that the rights of third party beneficiaries under Section 4.7 shall not arise unless and until the Closing occurs. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties may be subject to waiver by the Parties hereto in accordance with Section 7.10 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 7.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 7.8 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties hereto agree that irreparable harm, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Company does not perform any of the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Arrangement and the other

- 76 -

transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with the Agreement’s specified terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent and/or remedy a breach of this Agreement by the Company and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which the Purchaser is entitled at Law or in equity. The Company agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief on the basis that the Purchaser has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. The Purchaser shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with its seeking, or being granted an order for, an injunction or injunctions to prevent a breach or breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Company agrees not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. The Parties hereto agree that the Company shall not be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent and/or remedy a breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and that the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy relating to a breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser or otherwise shall be the remedy set forth in Section 6.3(c) and the right to reimbursement set forth in the last sentence of Section 6.3(d), the right to receive the Assumption Expenses payable or reimbursable pursuant to Section 4.13(b), and the Purchaser’s indemnification, payment and reimbursement obligations pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4.12 and the last sentence of Section 4.14(a); provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance to prevent any breach by the Purchaser of Section 4.2(b).

(b) The Parties further agree (i) the seeking of remedies pursuant to Section 7.8(a) shall not in any respect constitute a waiver by the Purchaser of its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement, including under Section 6.3, in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in Section 7.8(a)(a) are not available or otherwise not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require the Purchaser to institute any proceeding for (or limit the Purchaser’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 7.8 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VI (and pursuing damages after such termination, subject to Section 6.3(d)), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding by the Purchaser seeking remedies pursuant to Section 7.8(a) or anything set forth in this Section 7.8 restrict or limit the Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VI or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of the Purchaser for any losses, damages, costs or expenses of the Company or its affiliates relating to the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, or a breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser or otherwise, shall be limited to an amount equal to (i) the amount of the Purchaser Termination Fee, plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Assumption Expenses payable or reimbursable pursuant to Section 4.13(b), plus (iii) the Purchaser’s indemnification, payment and reimbursement obligations pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4.12 and the last sentence of Section 4.14(a) (the “Liability Limitation”), and in no event shall the Company or any of their affiliates seek any amount in excess of the Liability Limitation in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect

- 77 -

of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise. The Company agrees that it has no right of recovery against, and no personal liability shall attach to, any of the Purchaser Parties (other than the Purchaser to the extent provided in this Agreement and Blackstone Real Estate Services L.L.C. to the extent provided in the Confidentiality Agreement), through the Purchaser or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Purchaser against any Purchaser Party, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any applicable Law, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, except for its rights to recover from (i) a Guarantor (but not any other Purchaser Party) under and to the extent provided in its applicable Guaranty and subject to the Liability Limitation and the other limitations described therein and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder under and to the extent provided in the Support Agreement. Recourse against a Guarantor under its Guaranty shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and their affiliates against the Guarantors and any other Purchaser Party (other than the Purchaser to the extent provided in this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder to the extent provided in the Support Agreement and Blackstone Real Estate Services L.L.C. to the extent provided in the Confidentiality Agreement) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Without limiting the rights of the Company against the Purchaser hereunder, against ▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder under the Support Agreement and against Blackstone Real Estate Services L.L.C. under the Confidentiality Agreement, in no event shall the Company or their affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover damages from, any Purchaser Party (other than a Guarantor to the extent provided in its Guaranty and subject to the Liability Limitation and the other limitations described therein).

Section 7.9 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by action taken by the Company and the Purchaser at any time before or after approval of the Arrangement by the Company Shareholder Approval but, after such approval, no amendment shall be made which requires the approval of any such shareholders under applicable Law without obtaining such further approvals. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Parties hereto.

Section 7.10 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, each Party hereto may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (ii) waive any breaches or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Parties contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto, or (iii) subject to Section 7.9, waive compliance by the other Parties with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any Party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or the Purchaser in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall be considered one

- 78 -

and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic delivery in .pdf format shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Article 3
RIGHTS OF DISSENT

Rights of Dissent

Registered Company Shareholders may exercise dissent rights with respect to the Common Shares held by such holders (“Dissent Rights”) in connection with the Arrangement pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Section 185 of the OBCA as modified by the Interim Order, the Final Order and this Section 3.1 provided that, notwithstanding subsection 185(6) of the OBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution referred to in subsection 185(6) of the OBCA must be received by the Company not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two Business Days immediately preceding the date of the Shareholder Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time). Dissenting Shareholders who duly exercise their Dissent Rights shall be deemed to have transferred the Common Shares held by them and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised to the Purchaser free and clear of all Liens, as provided in Section 2.3(h), and if they:

(a)

are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for such Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have participated in the transactions in Article 2 (other than Sections 2.3(f)(iv) and 2.3(h)) in respect of such Common Shares, will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Common Shares by the Purchaser, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Part 14 of the OBCA, (x) shall be reduced by any amounts they are entitled to receive pursuant to the Return of Capital Distribution, and (y) shall be determined as of the close of

business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted, and will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement (other than pursuant to the Return of Capital Distribution) had such Company Shareholders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Common Shares; or

(b)

are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for such Common Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement in respect of those Common Shares, as of the Effective Time, on the same basis as a Company Shareholder (other than ▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder) who has not exercised Dissent Rights.

For greater certainty, each Dissenting Shareholder shall be, and shall be deemed to be, a holder of Common Shares at the time of payment of the Return of Capital Distribution.

3.2

Recognition of Dissenting Holders

(a) In no circumstances shall the Company, the Purchaser, (or any of their respective successors) or any other Person be required to recognize a Person exercising Dissent Rights, unless such Person is the registered holder of those Common Shares in respect of which such rights are sought to be exercised.

(b) For greater certainty, in no case shall the Company, the Purchaser, (or any of their respective successors) or any other Person be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as holders of Common Shares (in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised) after the completion of the transfer under Section 2.3(h), and the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be removed from the registers of holders of the Common Shares (in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised) at the same time as the event described in Section 2.3(h) occurs.

(c) In addition to any other restrictions under Section 185 of the OBCA and the Interim Order, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) holders of Incentive Securities (other than Restricted Shares); (ii) Company Shareholders who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote such Common Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution (but only in respect of such Common Shares); and (iii) the Purchaser or its affiliates.

At the time of mailing the Circular or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall forward to each Company Shareholder at the address of such person as it appears on the register maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of the Company Shareholders, a Letter of Transmittal.

4.2

Exchange of Certificates for Cash

(a) Prior to the filing of the Articles of Arrangement, the Purchaser and, if the Return of Capital Transactions are to be completed, Tricon Canco, shall deliver in escrow to the Depositary by way of wire transfer, certified cheque or bank draft, an amount equal to the

aggregate amount of Consideration that the Company Shareholders are entitled to receive in respect of their Common Shares under this Plan of Arrangement, provided that Tricon Canco shall only be responsible to deliver an amount equal to the Return of Capital Amount.

(b) Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Common Shares that were transferred pursuant to Sections 2.3(i), 2.3(j) or 2.3(k), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Company Shareholders represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such Company Shareholder, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the cash which such Company Shareholder has the right to receive under the Arrangement in respect of such Common Shares, less any amounts withheld and remitted pursuant to Section 4.5, and in the case of (i) Section 2.3(j), Intermediate shall also deliver the Intermediate Rollover Consideration which ▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement and the ▇▇▇▇▇ Transfer Agreement, and any certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled, and (ii) Section 2.3(k), the Purchaser shall also deliver the Purchaser Rollover Consideration which Intermediate has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement and the Purchaser Contribution Agreement, and any certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. The cash deposited with the Depositary shall be held in an interest-bearing account, and any interest earned on such funds shall be for the account of the Purchaser.

(c) On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver, to each holder of Stock Options, the Deferred Share Units and the Performance Share Units as reflected on the register maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of Stock Options, the Deferred Share Units and the Performance Share Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, a cheque or cash payment (or process the payment through the Company’s payroll systems or such other means as the Company may elect or as otherwise directed by the Purchaser including with respect to the timing and manner or such delivery), if any, which such holder of Stock Options, the Deferred Share Units and the Performance Share Units has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such Stock Options, the Deferred Share Units and the Performance Share Units, less any amount withheld and remitted pursuant to Section 4.5. Notwithstanding that amounts under this Plan of Arrangement are calculated in United States dollars, the Company is entitled to make the payments contemplated in 4.2(c) in the applicable currency in respect of which the Company customarily makes payment to such holder using the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Date.

(d) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.2, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any Common Shares shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amounts (including, to the extent applicable, the Rollover Consideration) that the holder of such certificate is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.3 or Section 3.1, as applicable, less any amounts withheld and remitted pursuant to Section 4.5. Any such certificate formerly representing Common Shares not duly surrendered on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former Company Shareholder of any kind or nature against or in the Company or the Purchaser. On such anniversary date, all certificates representing Common Shares shall be deemed to have been surrendered to the Purchaser and all Consideration to which such former Shareholder was entitled, together with any entitlements to dividends, distributions and interest thereon, shall be deemed to have been surrendered to the Purchaser or any successor thereof for no

consideration, and shall be paid over by the Depositary to the Purchaser or as directed by the Purchaser.

(e) Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary (or, if applicable, the Company) pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary (or, if applicable, the Company) on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date, or that otherwise remains unclaimed on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, as applicable, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the former holder of Common Shares or Incentive Securities to receive the applicable consideration for such Common Shares or Incentive Securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, or any successor thereof for no consideration.

(f) No holder of Common Shares or Incentive Securities shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such Common Shares or such Incentive Securities other than any cash payment or other consideration to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.3 and this Section 4.2 and, for greater certainty, no such holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment or distribution in connection therewith.

4.3

Lost Certificates

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Common Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Company Shareholder claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Consideration deliverable in accordance with Section 2.3 and such Company Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Company Shareholder to whom the such Consideration is to be issued shall, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser (and its transfer agents) and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as the Purchaser may direct or otherwise indemnify the Purchaser and the Company in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Company, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser or the Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

4.4

Rounding of Cash

In any case where the aggregate cash consideration payable to a particular Person under the Arrangement would, but for this provision, include a fraction of a cent, the consideration payable shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

4.5

Withholding Rights

The Purchaser, the Company, the Depositary, each of their affiliates, and any other Person making a payment hereunder, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under this Plan of Arrangement (including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1) and from all dividends, distributions or other amounts otherwise payable to any Person such

amounts as the Purchaser, the Company, the Depositary, their relevant affiliates, or such other Person, as applicable, are required, permitted, or reasonably believe to be required to deduct and withhold from such amounts under any provision of any Laws in respect of Taxes (in accordance with, to the extent applicable, Section 4.16 of the Arrangement Agreement in the case of Stock Options). Any such amounts so deducted or withheld from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity and shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made; provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity.

4.6

No Liens

Any exchange or transfer of securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind.

4.7
