InvestmentPhilosophy
Each of the General Partner’s and US GP’s focus will be on purchasing Properties that are undervalued and
undermanaged in markets located in municipal centres within North America that show promising potential for
growth and where the asset values are sufficient to allow profitable operations over the subject term and the
continuedfinancingofadditionalProperties.Aswell,priortoPropertiesbeingidentifiedforpurchaseandwhen

The General Partner and US GP also believe that Properties may be acquired at attractive prices as a result of
market inefficiencies, below market rents, poor management practices or an absence of sound investment
strategies by the current property owners. By providing experienced and proven management systems, the
GeneralPartnerandUSGPanticipatehigherreturnsfromthesePropertiesovertime.

For a trust to qualify as a “unit trust” it must be an inter vivos trust, the interest of each unitholder must be
described by reference to units of the trust, and the trust must meet certain prescribed conditions regarding
redeemabilityofunits,whicharediscussedbelow.TheREITisanintervivostrustunderwhichtheinterestofeach
