Interpretation

1. The Filer is a corporation existing under the laws of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
2. The Filer's head office is located in Toronto, Ontario.

On September 6, 2016, the Filer, Starlight U.S. Multi-Family Core Fund, Starlight U.S. Multi-Family (No. 2) Core Fund, Starlight U.S. Multi-Family (No. 3) Core Fund, Starlight U.S. Multi-Family (No. 4) Core Fund (collectively, the Starlight Funds) and Starlight U.S. Multi-Family (No. 5) Core Fund (the Purchaser), among others, entered into an arrangement agreement pursuant to which the Purchaser, agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding limited partnership units of each Starlight Fund pursuant to an arrangement (the Arrangement) under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) and all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the Common Shares) of the Filer pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
4. The Arrangement was approved at joint special meetings of the unitholders of the Starlight Funds and the shareholders of the Filer held on October 6, 2016.

9. The principal regulator granted the Previous Order on November 29, 2016.
10. As of the date that the Previous Order was granted, the Filer's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval indicated that the Filer was a reporting issuer in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario only.
11. The Autorité des marchés financiers informed the principal regulator on December 9, 2016 that the Filer was deemed to be a reporting issuer in the province of Québec as a result of the Arrangement.
12. As a result, the Previous Order contained an incorrect representation that the Filer ceased to be a reporting issuer in all jurisdictions of Canada in which it is a reporting issuer, and the Previous Order is not effective.
13. The Filer is applying for an order that the Filer has ceased to be a reporting issuer in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Québec.
