 a resolution of the Managing General Partner’s shareholders and subject to its bye-laws. At least three directors and at least a majority of the directors holding office must be independent of the Managing General Partner and Brookfield, as determined by the full board of directors using the standards for independence established under applicable securities laws. In addition, in February 2016 the board of directors of the Managing General Partner, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, appointed a lead independent director. The responsibilities of the lead independent director, who is currently Nancy Dorn, include presiding over sessions of the board of directors of the Managing General Partner when the Chair is not present as well as the in camera meetings that follow each scheduled board meeting. Shareholders and other interested parties may communicate with any member of the board of directors, including its Chair, the lead independent director and the independent directors as a group, by contacting BEP’s Corporate Secretary at 73 Front Street, 5th Floor, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda, +441-294-3304.

If the death, resignation or removal of an independent director results in the board of directors consisting of less than a majority of independent directors, the vacancy must be filled promptly. Pending the filling of such vacancy, the board of directors may temporarily consist of less than a majority of independent directors and those directors who do not meet the standards for independence may continue to hold office. In addition, the Managing General Partner’s bye-laws provide that not more than 50% of the directors (as a group) or the independent directors (as a group) may be residents of any one jurisdiction (other than Bermuda and any other jurisdiction designated by the board of directors from time to time).

Election and Removal of Directors

The Managing General Partner’s board of directors was appointed by its sole shareholder and each of its current directors will serve until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Managing General Partner or his or her death, resignation or removal from office, whichever occurs first. Vacancies on the board of directors may be filled and additional directors may be added by a resolution of the Managing General Partner’s shareholders or a vote of the directors then in office. A director may be removed from office by a resolution duly passed by the Managing General Partner’s shareholders or, if the director has been absent without leave from three consecutive meetings of the board of directors, by a written resolution requesting resignation signed by all other directors then holding office. A director will be automatically removed from the board of directors if he
