Pursuant to the terms of the Declaration of Trust, each Class B LP Unit will be accompanied by one Special Voting Unit issued by BCR entitling the holder to receive notice of, to attend and to vote at all meetings of unitholders of BCR (except in respect of Class B LP Units previously surrendered for exchange).

It is hereby confirmed that, to the extent practicable, the Class B LP Units, together with the Special Voting Units held by the Holders thereof, are intended to be equivalent to Trust Units in respect of distribution entitlements (both as to timing and amount) and voting rights.

(i)
prevent the allocation to the Class A LP Units and the Class B LP Units required under Section 6.2; or

prevent the distributions required under Section 6.1 in respect of the Class A LP Units and the Class B LP Units.

Any pledge of a Partnership Unit shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

5.18
Prohibited Transfers
 
At no time may any of the Partnership Units (on either a basic or fully diluted basis) be held by or for the benefit of Persons who are not resident in Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act (“Non-Resident Beneficiaries”). Each transferee of a Partnership Unit will be deemed to have represented to the General Partner that it is not a Non-Resident Beneficiary and that it does not hold such Partnership Unit for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries and will be deemed to have covenanted to maintain such representations true for as long as it continues to hold one or more Partnership Units. If the General Partner determines that a Person has purported to become or remain, directly or indirectly, a Holder of Partnership Units in breach of the above mentioned representations or covenant, or if the Holder fails to provide a declaration in form and content satisfactory to the General Partner that it is not a Non-Resident Beneficiary and does not hold such Partnership Units for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries: (i) the General Partner will require such Person to dispose of its Partnership Units within a specified period not to exceed 60 days to a Person who does not contravene the above mentioned limitation on ownership (“New Holder”) and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) effective immediately prior to the breach, such Person shall be deemed to have ceased to be a Holder of such Partnership Units, the voting and distribution rights attached to such Partnership Units shall be suspended and such Partnership Units shall be deemed not to be outstanding until acquired by a New Holder (provided that Holders of other Partnership Units shall not be entitled to any portion of the distributions that may have been paid in respect of Partnership Units that have been so deemed not to be outstanding) and such Person’s rights in respect of such Partnership Units shall be limited to receiving the net proceeds of the sale thereof. If such Person has not, within such period, sold such Partnership Units or provided the General Partner with a declaration in form and content satisfactory to the General Partner that it is not a Non-Resident Beneficiary and does not hold such Partnership Units for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries, the General Partner may sell such Partnership Units on behalf of such Person (and the General Partner shall have the power of attorney of such Person to do so), and such Person’s rights in respect of such Partnership Units shall be limited to receiving the net proceeds of sale upon surrender of the certificates representing such Partnership Units.
 
The General Partner shall have the sole right and authority to make any determination required for the administration of the provisions of, or contemplated under, this Section 5.18, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the General Partner considers that there are reasonable grounds for believing that a contravention of the above mentioned limitation on ownership has occurred or will occur, the General Partner shall make a determination with respect to the matter. Any such determination shall be conclusive, final and binding for the purposes of this Section 5.18 except to the extent modified by any subsequent determination by the General Partner. In any situation where it is unclear whether Partnership Units are held for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries, the General Partner may exercise its discretion in determining whether such Partnership Units are or are not so held, and any such exercise by the General Partner of its discretion shall be binding for the purposes of this Section 5.18.
 
5.19
Take-Over Bids
 
The provisions of section 3.25 of the Declaration of Trust are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and the Limited Partners shall have the benefit thereof, and each of the Limited Partners and the General Partner shall take all such action as may be necessary to give full effect to such provisions.

The General Partner, at the time of making such determination, shall also determine the amount of all expenses incurred by it during such Distribution Period in performing its duties as General Partner (which for, greater certainty, shall be all its costs and expenses for such period if its sole undertaking is the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement) (the “Reimbursement Distribution Amount”). The Distributable Income shall be distributed by the Partnership to the Partners forthwith after such determinations in the following manner and in the following order:
 
 
(a)
the Reimbursement Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the General Partner;
 
 
(b)
an amount, as determined by the General Partner, shall be distributed to the Holders of Class A LP Units sufficient to allow BCR to pay its expenses (including without limitation, any fees or commissions payable to agents or underwriters in connection with the sale of securities of BCR) on a timely basis or to make an initial capital contribution to the Partnership through the Interest of the General Partner;
 
 
(c)
an amount equal to 0.01% of the balance of the Distributable Income shall be distributed to the General Partner; and
 
 
(d)

In addition, the Partnership will not directly or indirectly guarantee any indebtedness or liabilities of any Person if doing so would contravene Subsection 7.1(e).

Upon such deposit being made, the rights of the Holders of Class A LP Units after such deposit will be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Partnership Liquidation Amount (without interest), in each case, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 7.1 for such Class A LP Units so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions.
 
4.3           After the Partnership has satisfied its obligations to pay the Holders of the Class A LP Units the Partnership Liquidation Amount for the Class A LP Units pursuant to Section 4.2, such Holders will not be entitled to share in any further distributions of the assets of the Partnership.

ARTICLE 2
DISTRIBUTIONS
 
2.1
Subject to the provisions of this Article 2 and the Exchange and Support Agreement, Holders of Class B LP Units will be entitled to receive and, subject to applicable law, the General Partner will declare, on each Distribution Declaration Date, a distribution on each Class B LP Unit of Distributable Income equal to the amount of the distribution declared on each Trust Unit by BCR on such Distribution Declaration Date. Such distributions, if in cash, will be paid out of money properly applicable to the payment of distributions. Such distributions, if not in cash, will be satisfied to the extent possible in the same manner as the distribution on the Trust Units.
 
 
B - 1

 
 
2.2
Except to the extent that the Holder of any Class B LP Unit elects to receive a loan and invest the proceeds of such loan as contemplated by Section 2.5, cheques of the Partnership payable at any branch of the bankers of the Partnership will be issued, or wire transfers will be made, in respect of any distributions in cash contemplated by Section 2.1 and the sending of such a cheque or wire transfer, as the case may be, to each Holder of a Class B LP Unit will satisfy the distribution represented thereby unless the cheque is not paid on presentation. No Holder of a Class B LP Unit will be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Partnership any distribution or portion of a distribution that is represented by a cheque that has not been duly presented to the Partnership’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which such distribution was payable.
 
2.3
The record date for the determination of the Holders of Class B LP Units entitled to receive payment of, the payment date and the Distribution Declaration Date for, any distribution declared on the Class B LP Units under Section 2.1 will be the same dates as the record date, payment date, and distribution declaration date, respectively, for the corresponding distribution declared on the Trust Units in accordance with the Declaration of Trust.
 
2.4
If on any payment date for any distribution declared on the Class B LP Units under Section 2.1, the distribution is not paid in full on all of the Class B LP Units then outstanding and entitled to receive such a distribution, any such distribution that remains unpaid will be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the General Partner on which the Partnership has sufficient money, assets or property properly applicable to the payment of such distribution.
 
2.5
The Holder of any Class B LP Unit shall be entitled to elect to defer all or a portion (the “Selected Amount”) of the distribution declared by the Partnership on a Payment Date and elect to be loaned the Selected Amount from the Partnership, net of any amounts that would have to be withheld therefrom pursuant to Section 10.1 if such aggregate amount were to be paid to the Holder (the “Loaned Amount”). Such election shall be in writing and shall specify the Selected Amount. Each such loan made in a Fiscal Year will not bear interest and will be due and payable in full on the first Business Day following the end of the Fiscal Year during which the loan was made concurrently with the net distribution equal to the Loaned Amount by the Partnership. For greater certainty, if such Holder who has received such loans in a Fiscal Year ceases to be a Holder of the Class B LP Units, it shall receive a distribution on the first Business Day following the end of that Fiscal Year equal to, following the application of Section 10.1, the aggregate amount of such loans. With respect to the Loaned Amount distributed to a Holder of the Class B LP Units, whether or not the Holder ceases to hold such units at any time after the making of a loan to that Person, such Holder of the Class B LP Units shall be deemed to have irrevocably directed that the amount of any such net distribution first be applied to repay loans previously advanced under this Section 2.5. For the purposes of Section 6.2 of the Agreement, a distribution made on the first Business Day following the end of a Fiscal Year, as provided for in this paragraph, shall be considered to have been payable with respect to such Fiscal Year and not to have been paid or payable with respect to the following Fiscal Year.

pay any distribution on any Partnership Units ranking equal with or junior to the Class B LP Units with respect to the payment of distributions unless corresponding distributions are paid in respect of the Class B LP Units;
 
 
(b)
redeem, purchase or make any capital distribution in respect of any Partnership Units ranking equal with or junior to the Class B LP Units with respect to the payment of distributions or on any liquidation distribution unless corresponding redemptions, purchases or capital distributions are made in respect of the Class B LP Units;

ARTICLE 4
DISTRIBUTION ON LIQUIDATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership or any other distribution of the assets of the Partnership among the Holders of the Partnership Units for the purpose of winding up its affairs, each Holder of Class B LP Units (and each Holder of Class A LP Units) will be entitled, subject to applicable law, to receive in respect of each Class B LP Unit (and each Class A LP Unit) held by such Holder on the effective date (the “Partnership Liquidation Date”) of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, before any distribution of any part of the assets of the Partnership among the Holders of Partnership Units ranking junior to the Class B LP Units (and the Class A LP Units), a pro rata share of the net assets of the Partnership remaining after giving effect to Subsections 13.3(a) and 13.3(b) of the Agreement (the “Partnership Liquidation Amount”).

 
B - 3

 

4.2
On or promptly after the Partnership Liquidation Date, the Partnership will cause to be delivered to the Holders of the Class B LP Units, the Partnership Liquidation Amount for each such Class B LP Unit upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Class B LP Units, together with such other documents and instruments as the Partnership may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Partnership or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Partnership by notice to the Holders of the Class B LP Units. Payment of the total Partnership Liquidation Amount for such Class B LP Units will be made by delivery to each Holder, at the address of the Holder recorded in the Register of the Partnership for the Class B LP Units or by holding for pick-up by the Holder at the registered office of the Partnership or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Partnership by notice to the Holders of Class B LP Units, on behalf of the Partnership, a cheque of the Partnership payable at any branch of the bankers of the Partnership in respect of the applicable Partnership Liquidation Amount (without interest), in each case, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 10.1. On and after the Partnership Liquidation Date, the Holders of the Class B LP Units will cease to be Holders of such Class B LP Units and will not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of Holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Partnership Liquidation Amount, unless payment of the total Partnership Liquidation Amount for such Class B LP Units is not made upon presentation and surrender of share certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the Holders will remain unaffected until the total Partnership Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner provided in this Section 4.2. The Partnership will have the right at any time after the Partnership Liquidation Date to deposit or cause to be deposited in a custodial account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada the total Partnership Liquidation Amount in respect of the Class B LP Units represented by certificates that have not at the Partnership Liquidation Date been surrendered by the Holders thereof. Upon such deposit being made, the rights of the Holders of Class B LP Units after such deposit will be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Partnership Liquidation Amount (without interest), in each case, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 10.1 for such Class B LP Units so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions.
 
4.3
After the Partnership has satisfied its obligations to pay the Holders of the Class B LP Units the Partnership Liquidation Amount for the Class B LP Units pursuant to Section 4.2, such Holders will not be entitled to share in any further distributions of the assets of the Partnership.
 
ARTICLE 5
EXCHANGE AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER
 
5.1
A Holder of Class B LP Units will be entitled, subject to compliance with the provisions of this Article 5, to require BCR to transfer to the Holder upon the surrender of any or all of the Class B LP Units registered in the name of such Holder, for each Class B LP Unit presented and surrendered by the Holder, subject to Section 5.8, one Trust Unit; and to require the Partnership to satisfy all distributions, if any, declared but not paid and relating to such Class B LP Units, where the Holder is entitled to such distribution under Section 2.3. To effect such transfer, the Holder must present and surrender to the Partnership, acting as exchange agent for the Holder and BCR, at the registered office of the Partnership or at any office of the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, as may be specified by the Partnership by notice to the Holders of Class B LP Units, the certificate or certificates representing the Class B LP Units which the Holder desires to have surrendered, together with such other documents and instruments as the Partnership may reasonably require, and together with a duly executed statement (the “Exchange Right Notice”) in the form of Exhibit 1 of Schedule B hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Partnership and BCR, acting reasonably:

 
B - 4

 
 
 
(a)
specifying that the Holder desires to have all or any number specified therein of the Class B LP Units represented by such certificate or certificates (the “Surrendered Units”) surrendered by the Holder on a specific date (the “Exchange Date”); and
 
 
(b)
stating the Exchange Date which must be a Business Day and must not be less than two (2) Business Days nor more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date upon which the Exchange Right Notice is received by the Partnership, provided that, if a Exchange Date is not specified by the Holder in the Exchange Right Notice, the Exchange Date will be deemed to be the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after the date on which the Exchange Right Notice is received by the Partnership.
 
5.2
Subject to the receipt by the Partnership or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, in the manner specified in Section 5.1 of a certificate or certificates representing the number of Surrendered Units, together with an Exchange Right Notice, and provided that the Exchange Right Notice is not revoked by the Holder in the manner specified in Section 5.8, BCR will cause to be delivered to such Holder in respect of the Surrendered Units effective at the close of business on the Exchange Date the appropriate number of Trust Units as determined under Section 5.1. If only a portion of the Class B LP Units represented by any certificate is surrendered, a new certificate for the balance of such Class B LP Units will be issued to the Holder at the expense of the Partnership.
 
5.3
For the purposes of completing the transaction described in Section 5.1 upon the surrender of the Class B LP Units, BCR shall, pursuant to the Exchange and Support Agreement, deposit with the Partnership or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, on or before the Exchange Date, certificates representing Trust Units registered in the name of the Holder or in such other name as the Holder may request. With respect to the foregoing, the Partnership will act in its capacity as exchange agent for the Holder and BCR, with the result that the Partnership shall not at any time or under any circumstances own or have a right to acquire any Trust Units or Class B LP Units.
 
5.4
BCR will cause the Partnership or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, to deliver to the relevant Holder, at the address of the Holder recorded in the Register of the Partnership for the Class B LP Units or at the address specified in the Holder’s Exchange Right Notice or by holding for pick-up by the Holder at the registered office of the Partnership or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Partnership by notice to the Holders of Class B LP Units, certificates representing Trust Units registered in the name of the Holder or in such other name as the Holder may request. The delivery of such certificates on behalf of BCR by the Partnership or the Transfer Agent will be deemed to be payment of and satisfy and discharge all liability with respect to the surrender of Class B LP Units for Trust Units to the extent that the same is represented by such certificates.

 
B - 5

 
 
5.5
On and after the close of business on the Exchange Date, the Holder of the Surrendered Units will cease to be a Holder of such Surrendered Units and will not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive its proportionate number of Trust Units, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the transfer of the appropriate number of Trust Units to the Holder is not made as provided in Section 5.4, in which case the rights of such Holder will remain unaffected until the appropriate number of Trust Units have been delivered to the Holder in the manner provided in this Article 5. On and after the close of business on the Exchange Date, provided that the presentation and surrender of certificates have been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder of the Surrendered Units so exchanged by the Partnership will thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a Holder of the Trust Units delivered to it.
 
5.6
Subject to Section 5.7, the Partnership and BCR will not be obligated to accept Surrendered Units specified by a Holder in an Exchange Right Notice: (i) if such surrender would, in the opinion of the General Partner or the trustees of BCR each acting reasonably, cause a significant risk to BCR’s status as a “unit trust”, “mutual fund trust” or “real estate investment trust” under the Tax Act or be subject to tax under paragraph 122(1)(b) or 197(2) of the Tax Act; or (ii) to the extent that such surrender of Surrendered Units would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law. If the Partnership believes that on any Exchange Date it would not be permitted by any of such provisions to accept the Surrendered Units tendered on such date, the Partnership will be obligated only to accept Surrendered Units specified by a Holder in an Exchange Right Notice to the extent of the maximum number that may be so surrendered (rounded down to the nearest whole number of units) as would not be contrary to such provisions and will notify the Holder and the trustees of BCR at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Exchange Date as to the number of Surrendered Units which will not be accepted by the Partnership.
 
5.7
If an offer as contemplated by section 3.26 of the Declaration of Trust is made, then an Exchange Right Notice solely for the purpose of accepting such offer or complying with Section 3.26 of the Declaration of Trust will be accepted by the Partnership only if the exchange under the Exchange Right Notice is effective upon, and is conditional upon, the successful completion of such offer and only to the extent necessary to tender to or deposit under such offer.
 
5.8
A Holder of Surrendered Units may by notice in writing given by the Holder to the Partnership before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date, withdraw its Exchange Right Notice, in which event such Exchange Right Notice will be null and void.

If at such adjourned meeting a quorum as defined above is not present, the Holders of Class B LP Units present either personally or represented by proxy shall form a quorum, and any business may be brought before or dealt with at such an adjourned meeting which might have been brought before or dealt with at the original meeting in accordance with the notice calling the same. A resolution passed at that meeting by the affirmative vote of not less than two thirds of the votes cast on such resolution at such meeting will constitute the approval or consent of the Holders of the Class B LP Units.
