to the Form 20-F so that any of such document would not include any Misrepresentation BREP, BRPI or the Fund Entities, as applicable, will promptly notify the other Parties and, to the extent required by applicable Laws, an appropriate
amendment to the Form 20-F describing such information will be promptly filed with the SEC. The Parties will advise each other, promptly after any of them receives notice thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Form 20-F or

Tax Considerations 
 The Parties intend that the series of transactions relating to the conversion of the Fund to be conducted pursuant to
and described in Sections 2.2.30 through 2.2.41 of the Plan of Arrangement, considered together as a single integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of
Section 368(a)(1) of the Code. This Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g). 
 2.11 United States Securities Law 
 The Arrangement will be structured such that the
issuance of securities under the Arrangement qualifies in the United States for the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1934 Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act (the “3(a)(10) Exemption”) and applicable
state securities Laws in 

  
 - 22 -









 
reliance upon similar exemptions under applicable state securities Laws. Each Party agrees to act in good faith, consistent with the intent of the Parties and the intended treatment of the
Arrangement as set forth in this Section 2.11. In order to ensure the availability of the 3(a)(10) Exemption, the Parties agree that the Arrangement will be carried out on the following basis: 

 

	 	(a)	the Arrangement will be subject to the approval of the Court; 

  

	 	(b)	the Court will be advised as to the intention of the Parties to rely on the 3(a)(10) Exemption prior to the Court hearing at which the Final Order will be sought;


  

	 	(c)	the Court will be required to satisfy itself as to the fairness of the Arrangement; 


 

	 	(d)	the Final Order will expressly state that the Arrangement is approved by the Court as being fair to the securityholders to whom securities will be issued;


  

	 	(e)	the parties will ensure that each securityholder entitled to receive securities on completion of the Arrangement will be given adequate notice advising them of their
right to attend the Court hearing and providing them with sufficient information necessary for them to exercise that right; and 

  

	 	(f)	the Interim Order approving the Meetings to approve the Arrangement Resolution will specify that each securityholder will have the right to appear before the Court at
the Court hearing on the Final Order so long as such securityholder enters an appearance within a reasonable time.

6.6.3 In furtherance of the foregoing, each party acknowledges that, except as set forth in this Section 6.6, the exercise, or
failure to exercise, by either party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall not operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege of such party under this Agreement.

 The Fund
Entities acknowledge that BRPI and its Subsidiaries (other than the BRPI Entities) (collectively with each of their shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, the “BRPI Indemnified Parties”) have

indemnity delivered by the BRPI Indemnified Party(ies). From and after the Effective Date, BREP and each of the Fund Entities hereby agrees to indemnify and save each of the BRPI Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all Damages suffered or
incurred by, imposed upon or asserted against any of them as a result of, in respect of, connected with, or arising out of, under or pursuant to any of the BRPI Guarantees or the BRPI Security. To the extent BRPI and/or any of its Subsidiaries
provided a BRPI Guarantee and/or a BRPI Security, BRPI and/or the relevant Subsidiary agrees that until such BRPI Guarantee or BRPI Security is replaced as contemplated by this Section 6.7, BRPI and/or such Subsidiary will maintain in full
force and effect, unamended, such BRPI Guarantee and/or BRPI Security and shall, subject to the rights of the Fund Entities in this Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to do, make, execute, deliver or cause to be done, made, executed or

 12.4.1.2 any failure of
any of the Fund Entities, and on and after the Effective Date, BREP, to perform or fulfill any of their respective covenants or obligations under this Agreement. 
 12.5 Limitations on Amount of Damages 
 12.5.1 Any claims for
indemnification made by an Indemnified Person pursuant to Sections 12.3.1 and 12.4.1, other than any claim for indemnification in respect of any breach of or inaccuracy of any $2,000,000 De Minimis Representation, will be paid only if
individual Damages or a series of related Damages exceed $1,000,000 (the “Individual Threshold”). Any claims for indemnification made by an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 12.3.1 in respect of any breach of or any
inaccuracy of a $2,000,000 De Minimis Representation will be paid if individual Damages or a series of related Damages exceed $2,000,000 (the “$2,000,000 Threshold”). For greater certainty, if the Individual Threshold or $2,000,000
Threshold (as applicable) is exceeded, subject to Section 12.5.2, an Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified for the aggregate amount of all related Damages (starting with the first dollar). 

12.5.2 An Indemnified Person shall not be indemnified until the aggregate amount of such Damages by such Indemnified Person exceeds
$120,000,000, at which point the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover only the aggregate amount of all such Damages in excess of the Deductible, up to a maximum amount, in the aggregate, equal to the Cap Amount. 

12.5.3 Notwithstanding Section 12.5.1 and Section 12.5.2, none of the Individual Threshold, the $2,000,000 Threshold, the
Deductible and/or the Cap Amount shall apply: 
 12.5.3.1 to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.3.1.1 in
respect of any breach of or inaccuracy or misrepresentation in any BPRI Fundamental Representation; or 
 12.5.3.2 in respect of
any breach of or inaccuracy or misrepresentation in any representation or warranty involving fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or 

  
 - 54 -









 12.5.3.3 to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.4.1.1 in respect of
any breach of or inaccuracy or misrepresentation in any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.1.1. 
 12.5.4
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no claim for Damages may be reduced or avoided on the basis that the relevant Indemnified Person failed to provide notice of a Third Party Claim if the failure to give such notice was caused by the failure
of BRPI with knowledge of such claim giving such notice on behalf of the relevant Indemnified Person. 
 12.6 Notification 

12.6.1 If a Third Party Claim is instituted or asserted against an Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person will promptly notify the
Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim. 
 12.6.2 If an Indemnified Person becomes aware of a Direct Claim, the
Indemnified Person will promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Direct Claim. 
 12.6.3 Notice to an
Indemnifying Party under this Section 12.6 of a Direct Claim or Third Party Claim is assertion of a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, the provisions of Section 12.7
will apply to any Direct Claim and the provisions of Section 12.8 will apply to any Third Party Claim. 
 12.6.4 The
omission to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person, unless the notification occurs after the expiration of the specified period set out in Section 12.1 or
(and only to that extent that) the omission to notify materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to exercise its right to defend provided in Sections 12.7 and 12.8. 
 12.7 Procedure for Direct Claims 
 With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of
notice from the Indemnified Person of the Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the
Indemnified Person will make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Person to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If
both Parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will immediately pay to the Indemnified
Person the full agreed upon amount of the Direct Claim, failing which the matter may be referred to binding arbitration in such manner as the parties may agree or to a court of competent jurisdiction. 

12.8 Procedure for Third Party Claims 
 12.8.1 Upon receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, at its expense, participate in the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim, subject to the terms of this
Section 12.8. The Indemnifying Party may also assume the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim, subject to the terms of this Section 12.8. 
 12.8.2 In order to assume the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must give the Indemnified Person written notice of its election to do so within 10 Business Days of
the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim. 

  
 - 55 -









 12.8.3 The Indemnifying Party may not assume the investigation and defence of a Third Party
Claim if: 
 12.8.3.1 the Indemnifying Party is also a party to the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Person determines
acting reasonably and in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate; or 
 12.8.3.2 the Indemnifying Party fails
to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend the Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to the Third Party Claim. 

12.8.4 If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim: 

12.8.4.1 the Indemnifying Party will pay for all costs and expenses of the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim except that
the Indemnifying Party will not, so long as it diligently conducts such defence, be liable to the Indemnified Person for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defence of the Third Party Claim incurred by the Indemnified
Person after the date the Indemnifying Party validly exercised its right to assume the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim; 
 12.8.4.2 the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Person for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the investigation and defence of the Third
Party Claim prior to the date the Indemnifying Party validly exercised its right to assume the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim; 
 12.8.4.3 the Indemnified Person will not contact or communicate with the Person making the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless required by applicable Law;
and 
 12.8.4.4 legal counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to defend the Third Party Claim must be satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person, acting reasonably. 
 12.8.5 If the Indemnifying Party (i) is not entitled to assume the investigation
and defence of a Third Party Claim under Section 12.8.3, (ii) does not elect to assume the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim, or (iii) assumes the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim but fails to diligently
pursue such investigation and defence, the Indemnified Person has the right (but not the obligation) to undertake the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim. In the case where the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently pursue the
investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may not assume the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim unless the Indemnified Person gives the Indemnifying Party written demand to diligently pursue the
investigation and defence and the Indemnifying Party fails to do so within 10 Business Days after receipt of the demand, or such shorter period as may be required to respond to any deadline imposed by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal.

 12.8.6 If the Indemnified Person undertakes the investigation and defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to
Section 12.8.5, the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim effected without its prior consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  
 - 56 -









 12.8.7 The Indemnifying Party will not be permitted to compromise and settle or to cause a
compromise and settlement of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed unless: 
 12.8.7.1 the terms of the compromise and settlement require only the payment of money for which the Indemnified Person is entitled to full indemnification under this Agreement; and 

12.8.7.2 the Indemnified Person is not required to admit any wrongdoing, take or refrain from taking any action, acknowledge any rights of
the Person making the Third Party Claim or waive any rights that the Indemnified Person may have against the Person making the Third Party Claim. 
 12.8.8 The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party agree to keep the other fully informed of the status of any Third Party Claim and any related proceedings and to use their reasonable efforts to
minimize Damages with respect to any Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person will use its reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party, on a
timely basis, those employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary or desirable to assist the Indemnifying Party in investigating and defending the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Person will, at the request and expense of the
Indemnifying Party, make available to the Indemnifying Party, or its representatives, on a timely basis all documents, records and other materials in the possession, control or power of the Indemnified Person, reasonably required by the Indemnifying
Party for its use in defending any Third Party Claim which it has elected to assume the investigation and defence of. The Indemnified Person will reasonably cooperate on a timely basis with the Indemnifying Party in the defence of any Third Party
Claim. 
 12.9 Exclusion of Other Remedies 
 Except as provided in this Section, the indemnities provided in Sections 12.3 and 12.4 will constitute the only remedy of the Fund Entities or BRPI, respectively, against the other Party in the event
of any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of such Party contained in this Agreement. 
 12.10 No Consequential
Damages 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover from another Party
(including an Indemnitor), for any Damages, any amount in excess of the actual compensatory damages, court costs and reasonable lawyers’ and other advisor fees suffered by such Indemnified Person. The Parties waive any right to recover
punitive, incidental, indirect, special, exemplary and consequential damages, and economic loss and damages in respect of loss of opportunity arising in connection with or respect to this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 12.10 shall
not apply to indemnification for a Third Party Claim.

 13.1

 Any notice or other communication (each a “Notice”) required or permitted to be given hereunder will be in
writing and will be given by prepaid first-class mail, by facsimile or other means of electronic communication or by hand-delivery as hereinafter provided. Any such notice or other communication, if

Business Day after the post-marked date thereof, or if sent by facsimile or other means of electronic communication, will be deemed to have been received on the Business Day following the sending, or if delivered by hand will be deemed to have been
received at the time it is delivered to the applicable address noted below either to the individual designated below or to an individual at such address having apparent authority to accept deliveries on behalf of the addressee. Notice of change of

of electronic communication and will be deemed to have been received in accordance with this Section 13.1. Sending a copy of a Notice to a Party’s legal counsel as contemplated below is for information purposes only and does not constitute
delivery of the Notice to that Party. The failure to send a copy of a Notice to legal counsel does not invalidate delivery of that Notice to a Party. Notices and other communications will be addressed as follows:

13.2 Time is of the Essence 
 Time is of
the essence in this Agreement. 
 13.3 Third Party Beneficiaries 
 Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.5, 12.3 and 12.4, the Parties intend that this Agreement will not benefit or create any right or cause of action in favour of any Person, other than the
Parties. Except for the insured and indemnified Persons identified in Sections 6.5, 12.3 and 12.4, no Person, other than the Parties, will be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other
forum. Despite the foregoing, BRPI acknowledges to such insured and indemnified Persons their direct rights against it under Sections 6.5, 12.3 and 12.4 of this Agreement. To the extent required by Law to give full effect to these direct
rights, BRPI and the Fund Entities agree and acknowledge that they are acting as agent and/or as trustee of their respective insured and indemnified Persons identified in Sections 6.5, 12.3 and 12.4. The Parties reserve the right to vary or
rescind the rights at any time and in any way whatsoever, if any, granted by or under this Agreement to any Person who is not a Party, without notice to or consent of that Person, including any insured and indemnified Persons identified in
Sections 6.5, 12.3 and 12.4. 
 13.4 Amendments 
 Subject to the provisions of the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and applicable Laws, this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before the holding of the
Meetings but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties, without further notice to or authorization on the part of the Unitholders or Preferred Shareholders, and any such amendment may without
limitation: 
 13.4.1 change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the Parties; 

13.4.2 waive any inaccuracies or modify any representation or warranty contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto;

 13.4.3 waive compliance with or modify any of the covenants herein contained and waive or modify performance of any of the
obligations of the Parties; and 
 13.4.4 waive compliance with or modify any mutual conditions precedent herein contained.


  
 - 59 -









 13.5 Waiver 
 No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound
by the waiver. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that
right or the exercise of any other right. 
 13.6 Entire Agreement 
 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no warranties, conditions, or representations (including any that may be
implied by statute) and there are no agreements in connection with such subject matter except as specifically set forth or referred to in this Agreement. No reliance is placed on any warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact
made either prior to, contemporaneous with, or after entering into this Agreement, or any amendment or supplement hereto, by any Party to this Agreement or its directors, officers, employees or agents, to any other Party to this Agreement or its
directors, officers, employees or agents, except to the extent that the same has been reduced to writing and included as a term of this Agreement, and none of the Parties to this Agreement has been induced to enter into this Agreement or any
amendment or supplement hereto by reason of any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact. Accordingly, there will be no liability, either in tort or in contract, assessed in relation to any such warranty, representation,
opinion, advice or assertion of fact, except to the extent contemplated above. 
 13.7 Successors and Assigns 

13.7.1 This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by the Parties. After that time, it will be binding upon and enure to the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
 13.7.2 Except as provided in this
Section 13.7, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Upon notice to the other Parties, any Party is
entitled to assign this Agreement or any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates subject to the following conditions: 
 13.7.2.1 the assignee will become jointly and severally liable with the assigning Party, as a principal and not as a surety, with respect to all of the obligations of the assigning Party, including the
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements of the assigning Party and the assigning Party will continue to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if the assignment had not occurred; 

13.7.2.2 the assignee must execute an agreement confirming the assignment and the assumption by the assignee of all obligations of the
assigning Party under this Agreement; and 
 13.7.2.3 such assignment will not have any adverse effect on the other Parties to
this Agreement (as determined by the other Parties, acting reasonably). 

  
 - 60 -









 13.8 Severability 
 Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction
will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties waive any provision of Law which renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect.
The Parties will engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision which is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or
unenforceable provision which it replaces. 
 13.9 Governing Law 
 13.9.1 This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. 

13.9.2 Each Party irrevocably attorns and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario courts situated in the City of Toronto
and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or any argument that such court provides an inconvenient forum. 
 13.10
Brokers 
 BRPI will indemnify and save harmless the Fund Entities from and against any and all claims, losses and costs whatsoever for any
commission or other remuneration payable or alleged to be payable to any broker, agent or other intermediary who purports to act or have acted for BRPI. The Fund Entities will jointly and severally indemnify and save harmless BRPI from and against
any and all claims, losses and costs whatsoever for any commission or other remuneration payable or alleged to be payable to any broker, agent or other intermediary who purports to act or have acted for the Fund and/or BRPT. These indemnities are
not subject to any of the limitations set out in Article 12. 
 13.11 Further Assurances 

Each of the Parties will promptly do, make, execute, deliver all such further acts, documents and things as any other Party hereto may reasonably require
from time to time for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement and will use reasonable efforts and take all such steps as may be reasonably within its power to implement to their full extent the provisions of this Agreement. 

13.12 Counterparts 
 This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts (including counterparts by facsimile) and all such counterparts taken together will be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
