 a CFA of BRELP (an “Indirect CFA”) earns income that is characterized as FAPI in a particular taxation year of the CFA or Indirect CFA, the FAPI allocable to BRELP must be included in computing the income of BRELP for Canadian federal income tax purposes for the fiscal period of BRELP in which the taxation year of that CFA or Indirect CFA ends, whether or not BRELP actually receives a distribution of that FAPI. BEP will include its share of such FAPI of BRELP in computing its income for Canadian federal income tax purposes and Unitholders will be required to include their proportionate share of such FAPI allocated from BEP in computing their income for Canadian federal income tax purposes. As a result, Unitholders may be required to include amounts in their income for Canadian federal income tax purposes even though they have not and may not receive an actual cash distribution of such amounts. The Tax Act contains anti-avoidance rules to address certain foreign tax credit generator transactions (the “Foreign Tax Credit Generator Rules”). Under the Foreign Tax Credit Generator Rules, the “foreign accrual tax” (as defined in the Tax Act) applicable to a particular amount of FAPI included in BRELP’s income in respect of a particular “foreign affiliate” (as defined in the Tax Act) of BRELP may be limited in certain specified circumstances. See Item 10. E “ Taxation - Certain Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Unitholders may be required to include imputed amounts in their income for Canadian federal income tax purposes in accordance with section 94.1 of the Tax Act.

Section 94.1 of the Tax Act contains rules relating to interests in entities that are not resident or deemed to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act or not situated in Canada (and certain exempt foreign trusts as defined in subsection 94(1) of the Tax Act), other than a CFA of the taxpayer (the “Non-Resident Entities”), that could in certain circumstances cause income to be imputed to Unitholders for Canadian federal income tax purposes, either directly or by way of allocation of such income imputed to BEP or to BRELP. See Item 10. E “ Taxation - Certain Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”.
