The cash distribution is payable on August 15, 2008 to unitholders of record on July 31, 2008.

Eligible unitholders may also elect to participate in the Trust’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRIP).

Beneficial unitholders (i.e., owners of trust units that are held through a nominee such as a broker or custodian) who wish to participate in the DRIP should contact the broker, investment dealer, financial institution or other nominee who holds their trust units to enquire about the applicable enrolment deadline and to request enrolment in the DRIP.
