ARTICLE 5
DISSENTING UNITHOLDERS

5.1		Each Unitholder shall have the right to dissent with respect to the Arrangement in accordance with the Interim Order. No Unitholder who has voted at the Meeting in favour of the special resolution of Unitholders approving the Arrangement shall be entitled to dissent with respect to the Arrangement. A Unitholder may not exercise the right to dissent in respect of only a portion of such Unitholder’s Units, but may dissent only with respect to all of the Units held by the Unitholder.

5.2		Dissenting Unitholders who:

(a)

are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for the Trust Units and/or Exchangeable LP Units in respect of which they dissent in accordance with the provisions of the Interim Order, whether by order of a Court (as defined in the ABCA) or by acceptance of an offer made pursuant to such Interim Order, shall

- 14 -

			be deemed to have transferred such Units to the Trust or the Partnership, as the case may be, on the Initial Effective Date; or

	(b)		are ultimately not entitled to be paid fair value for the Units in respect of which they dissent, shall not be, or be reinstated as, Unitholders but for purposes of receipt of consideration shall be treated as if they had participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of Trust Units or Exchangeable LP Units, and accordingly shall be entitled to receive New Precision Common Shares on the basis set forth in paragraphs 4.1(e), (f) and (n) of this Plan of Arrangement, as applicable, and shall be deemed to have transferred such Units in exchange for AcquisitionCo Shares as of the Initial Effective Date on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of Units.

5.3

The fair value for the Units shall be determined as of the close of business on the Business Day before the day on which the Arrangement is approved by Unitholders at the Meeting.

ARTICLE 6
OUTSTANDING CERTIFICATES

6.1

Subject to Article 5, after the Second Effective Date, certificates formerly representing Units shall represent only the right to receive the certificates representing New Precision Common Shares which the former holder of such Units is, subject to Section 6.5, entitled to receive pursuant to Article 4 of this Plan of Arrangement, subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this Article 6.

6.2		All dividends paid with respect to any New Precision Common Shares allotted and issued pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement but for which a certificate has not been issued shall be paid or delivered to the Depositary to be held by the Depositary in trust for the registered holder thereof. All monies received by the Depositary shall be invested by it in non-interest bearing trust accounts upon such terms as the Depositary may reasonably deem appropriate. The Depositary shall pay and deliver to any such registered holder such dividends and any interest thereon to which such holder is entitled, net of applicable withholding and other taxes, upon delivery of the certificate representing the New Precision Common Shares issued to such holder in accordance with Section 6.3.

6.3		At the time of mailing the Information Circular:

	(a)		the Trust shall forward to each Trust Unitholder at the address of such holder as it appears on the register of Trust Units on the Record Date, a Letter of Transmittal for Trust Units; and

	(b)		the Partnership shall forward to each Exchangeable LP Unitholder at the address of such holder as it appears on the register of Exchangeable LP Units on the Record Date, a Letter of Transmittal for Exchangeable LP Units,

and instructions for obtaining delivery of the New Precision Common Shares to such holder pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement. A Unitholder may take delivery of such

- 15 -

New Precision Common Shares by delivering the certificates representing such holder’s Units to the Depositary at any of the offices indicated in the appropriate Letter of Transmittal, accompanied by a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as the Depositary may reasonably require. The certificates representing the New Precision Common Shares issued to such holder shall be registered in such names and, delivered to such addresses as such holder may direct in such Letters of Transmittal, or if requested by the former Unitholder in the Letter of Transmittal, made available at the Depositary for pick-up by the former Unitholder, as soon as practicable after receipt by the Depositary of the required documents.

6.4

Unitholders shall not be entitled to any interest, distribution, premium or other payment on or with respect to the former Units other than the certificates representing the New Precision Common Shares which they are entitled to receive pursuant to the Arrangement.

6.5

Any certificate formerly representing Units that is not deposited with all other documents as provided in Section 6.3 on the day before the fifth anniversary of the Initial Effective Date shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder of such Units to receive certificates representing New Precision Common Shares and/or any cash payments, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be surrendered to New Precision together with all dividends thereon held for such holder.

6.6

If any certificate which immediately prior to the Initial Effective Date represented an interest in outstanding Trust Units that were transferred pursuant to paragraphs 4.1(e) and (f) hereof has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the registered holder thereof in the register of Trust Units shall, as a condition precedent to the receipt of any New Precision Common Shares to be issued to such Person, provide to New Precision and the Trust a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to New Precision and the Trust, or otherwise indemnify New Precision and the Trust to their satisfaction, in their sole and absolute discretion, against any claim that may be made against any of them with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

6.7

If any certificate which immediately prior to the Initial Effective Date represented an interest in outstanding Exchangeable LP Units that were transferred pursuant to paragraph 4.1(n) hereof has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the registered holder thereof in the register of Exchangeable LP Units shall, as a condition precedent to the receipt of any New Precision Common Shares to be issued to such Person, provide to New Precision and the Partnership a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to New Precision and the Partnership, or otherwise indemnify New Precision and the Partnership to their satisfaction, in their sole and absolute discretion, against any claim that may be made against any of them with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
