## Co-tenancy and exclusivity

No plaza-wide exclusivity restrictions currently encumber the property, so
incoming tenants have unusual freedom to negotiate protective use provisions
for their own practice. A pharmacy operates within the FreshCo anchor and a
dental practice is established on-site. Existing co-tenancy includes FreshCo,
LCBO, Dollarama, Tim Hortons, The Beer Store, Subway, Boston Pizza, Popeyes,
barBURRITO, Sunset Grill, Pet Valu, Kumon and easyfinancial.

The prior mixed-use redevelopment plan for the broader site has been shelved.
No demolition of the existing plaza is contemplated, so tenancies are stable
and long-term leases can be taken with confidence.
