Brookfield Infrastructure 217

• Integrated Investment Platform, Information Sharing and related Trading Restrictions. As noted elsewhere herein, Brookfield is a global alternative asset manager with significant assets under management and a long history of owning, managing and operating assets, businesses and investment vehicles across various industries, sectors, geographies and strategies. Except as otherwise noted, Brookfield generally manages its investment and business lines in an integrated fashion with no information barriers that other firms may implement to separate certain investment teams so that one team’s activities won’t restrict or otherwise influence the other’s. Brookfield believes that managing its investment and asset management platforms in an integrated fashion is in the best interests of Brookfield Accounts, including Brookfield Infrastructure and Brookfield Accounts in which we invest, by enabling them to leverage Brookfield’s experience, expertise, broad reach, relationships and position in the market for investment opportunities and deal flow, financial resources, access to capital markets and management and operating needs. Among other things, Brookfield will have access to information across its platform relating to business operations, trends, budgets, customers or users, assets, funding and other metrics that Brookfield has or acquires through its management of Brookfield Accounts and/or its own business and investment activities that is used by Brookfield to identify and/or evaluate potential investments for Brookfield Infrastructure and Brookfield Accounts in which we invest and to facilitate the management of investments, including through operational improvements. Conversely, Brookfield uses data and information that it has or acquires in connection with activities on behalf of Brookfield Infrastructure or a Brookfield Account in which we invest for the benefit of other Brookfield Accounts’ (including Brookfield proprietary accounts’) business and investment activities. From time to time, Brookfield expects to commission third-party research, at the expense of Brookfield Infrastructure or a Brookfield Account in which we invest, in connection with its diligence of an investment opportunity for Brookfield Infrastructure or such Brookfield Account or in connection with its investment, and such research is expected to subsequently be available to other Brookfield Accounts and Walled-Off Business Accounts (who will generally not be required to compensate Brookfield Infrastructure or the applicable Brookfield Account in which we invest for the benefit they receive from such research). Such benefits could be material and Brookfield will have no duty, contractual, fiduciary or otherwise, to keep such information confidential from, or not use such information in connection with the business and investment activities of itself, other Brookfield Accounts and/or their portfolio companies.
