The units (the “Units”) of the Trust represented by this Certificate are issued upon the terms and subject to the conditions of an amended and restated trust agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) dated December 28, 2011 between Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Trustee”), in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, in its capacity as settlor of the Trust. By acceptance of this Certificate, the holder agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions set out therein. Terms defined in the Trust Agreement have the same meaning when used herein.

 

A copy of the Trust Agreement may be obtained by any Unitholder on demand and without fee from the Manager. The Trust Agreement contains provisions for the holding of meetings of Unitholders and resolutions passed at such meetings. Instruments signed by the holders of a specified majority of the Units outstanding will be binding upon all Unitholders.

 

This Certificate may only be transferred upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Trust Agreement on one of the registers of transfers to be kept at the offices of Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the “Registrar and Transfer Agent”) in the City of Toronto and at such other place or places, if any, or by such other registrar or registrars, if any, as the Manager may designate, by the registered holder hereof or his executors or administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Trust and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Registrar and Transfer Agent may prescribe.

 

This Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by the Registrar and Transfer Agent. For information as to personal liability of Unitholders and the exercise of the redemption right attaching to the Units, see the reverse side of this Certificate.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, a duly authorized officer of the Manager has signed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust.
