 to a U.S. Holder that is taxable as a corporation will generally qualify for the dividends received deduction if the required holding period is satisfied. Dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder will generally constitute "qualified dividends" which are subject to tax at preferential long-term capital gains rates provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and non-corporate holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rates that apply to qualified dividend income.

If a U.S. Holder is subject to Canadian withholding tax on dividends paid on common shares to the U.S. Holder, the dividends will be considered U.S. source income, which could limit the ability of a U.S. Holder to claim a foreign tax credit for the Canadian withholding taxes imposed in respect of such a dividend. See "-Foreign Tax Credit Limitations" below.

Dispositions of Common Shares

A U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for the common shares so disposed of exceeds one year. The amount of gain or loss recognized will generally be equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (2) the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its common shares so disposed of. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its common shares will generally equal the U.S. Holder's acquisition cost for such common shares, less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally eligible for reduced rates of tax. If the U.S. Holder's holding period for the common shares so disposed of is one year or less, any gain on a sale or other taxable disposition of the shares would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at ordinary income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

To the extent a U.S. Holder pays any Canadian tax on a sale, exchange or disposition of our common shares, a U.S. foreign tax credit may not be available. See "
