below, the Rights Agent shall exchange (in accordance with Section 4(e) below) such Subject Class A Shares for a number of BEP Units held in the Collateral Account
equal to the BEP Units Amount for such Subject Class A Shares set forth in such Company Notice and promptly, and in any event within two Business Days following the receipt of the Company Notice and the Subject Class A Shares in the
Received Class A Share Account pursuant to Section 4(c), deliver such BEP Units from the Collateral Account to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder; provided that if there shall not be enough BEP Units in the
Collateral Account to satisfy the BEP Units Amount with respect to one or more of such Subject Class A Shares, the Rights Agent shall exchange each such Subject Class A Share for an amount of cash from the Collateral Account equal to the
Cash Amount for such Subject Class A Share and promptly, and in any event within two Business Days of receipt of the Company Notice and the Subject Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account pursuant to
Section 4(c), deliver the Cash Amount to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any given exercise of the Secondary Exchange Rights under this Section 4 there
are not enough BEP Units in the Collateral Account to satisfy the BEP Units Amount with respect to all Subject Class A Shares subject to such Secondary Exchange Right, the Rights Agent shall not cause any BEP Units to be exchanged with respect
to any such Subject Class A Shares, and shall instead only deliver to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder the Cash Amount with respect to each such Subject Class A Share from the Collateral Account. 

(ii)    In the event that, in connection with any Subject Class A Share, (i) the Company has
not satisfied its obligation under sections 26.12 and 26.14 of the Company’s Articles by delivering the BEP Units Amount or Cash Amount on the applicable Specified Exchange Date and (ii) BEP has not, upon its election in its sole and
absolute discretion, acquired such Subject Class A Share from the Exchanging Class A Shareholder and delivered the BEP Units Amount or Cash Amount in exchange therefor pursuant to section 26.24 of the Company’s Articles on the
applicable Specified Exchange Date, the Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall have the right to deliver, or cause to be delivered, an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice to the Rights Agent and BAM, which Exchanging Class A
Shareholder Notice shall set forth the number of such Subject Class A Shares and any wire transfer or other delivery instructions necessary to permit the Rights Agent to transfer the BEP Units Amount or the Cash Amount to the Exchanging
Class A Shareholder and be in a format that is acceptable to the Rights Agent (determined by the Rights Agent acting reasonably and in good faith). As promptly as practicable and in any event on or prior to the Business Day immediately
following the date of such Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, BAM shall provide written notice to the Rights Agent, which notice shall (i) set forth the BEP Units Amount and the Cash Amount for such Subject Class A Shares subject
to such Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice and (ii) either (A) provide that BAM has elected, in BAM’s sole discretion, to fund the Cash Amount pursuant to Section 4(b) below with respect to such Subject
Class A Shares, or (B) instruct the Rights Agent to exchange (in accordance with Section 4(c), and 4(e) below) each Subject Class A Share in accordance with this
Section 4(a)(ii), it being understood that BAM shall not be obligated to deliver such notice to the Rights Agent if it has determined in good faith that the conditions to the exercise of the Secondary Exchange Right set
forth in Section 4(a) have not been satisfied. Upon receipt of an instruction by BAM pursuant to clause (ii)(B) of the immediately preceding sentence and receipt of an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice and
the Subject Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account pursuant to Section 4(c), the Rights Agent shall exchange such Subject Class A Shares for a number of BEP Units held in the Collateral Account
equal to the BEP Units Amount for such Subject Class A Shares set forth in such BAM instructions and, on or prior

to the second Business Day following receipt of such instruction from BAM and receipt of an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, and the Subject Class A Shares in the
Received Class A Share Account pursuant to Section 4(c), deliver such BEP Units from the Collateral Account to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder; provided that if there shall not be enough BEP Units in the
Collateral Account to satisfy the BEP Units Amount with respect to one of more of such Subject Class A Shares, the Rights Agent shall exchange each such Subject Class A Share for an amount of cash from the Collateral Account equal to the
Cash Amount for such Subject Class A Share and, on or prior to the second Business Day following receipt of such instruction from BAM and receipt of an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, and the Subject Class A Shares in
the Received Class A Share Account pursuant to Section 4(c), deliver the Cash Amount to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder. The Rights Agent shall not take any action under this
Section 4(a)(ii) or otherwise upon receipt of an Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice unless BAM has instructed the Rights Agent to exchange any Subject Class A Share for a number of BEP Units or the Cash Amount,
as applicable, as set forth in this Section 4(a)(ii). 
 (b)    With respect
to any Company Notice or Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, BAM shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect that the Rights Agent exchange the Subject Class A Shares for the Cash Amount for each Subject
Class A Share by providing written notice of such election to the Rights Agent on or prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately following the date the Rights Agent received the Company Notice or Exchanging Class A
Shareholder Notice, as applicable, in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) and Section 4(a)(ii), as applicable. In the event that BAM shall make the election described in the immediately preceding
sentence and there shall not be an amount of cash in the Collateral Account sufficient to exchange any such Subject Class A Share for the Cash Amount, BAM shall deposit an amount of cash into the Collateral Account equal to the Cash Amount with
respect to each such Subject Class A Share simultaneously with the delivery of the written notice set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that BAM shall elect that the Rights Agent exchange the Subject Class A Shares
for the Cash Amount pursuant to this Section 4(b), the Rights Agent shall deliver the Cash Amount for each Subject Class A Share from the Collateral Account to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder on or before the
second Business Day following receipt of the written notice of such election from BAM and receipt of an original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice (only if applicable per Section 4(a)(ii)) and the Subject
Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account pursuant to Section 4(c). 

(c)    BAM shall establish a non-interest bearing trust account in
the name of BAM that will be administered by the Rights Agent for purposes of receiving any Subject Class A Shares exchanged pursuant to this Agreement (the “Received Class A Share Account”). Such Received
Class A Share Account information is as set forth in Exhibits D-1 and D-2. Any Class A Shares received by the Rights Agent pursuant to
Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) shall be delivered to the Received Class A Share Account. Any Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account shall be transferable to BAM or, at
BAM’s direction, an Affiliate of BAM which was the beneficial owner of the BEP Units transferred to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder, pursuant to delivery instructions provided by BAM to the Rights Agent (which may be standing written
instructions), and shall not be delivered into the Collateral Account, and thereafter BAM or such Affiliate, as applicable, shall be the beneficial owner of such Class A Shares with all rights, powers, privileges and preferences appurtenant
thereto, including, without limitation, the Exchange Right. Delivery to BAM or such Affiliate pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall be accomplished by the Rights Agent

instructing the transfer agent for the Class A Shares to record the transfer of the Class A Shares from the Received Class A Shares Account to, and the ownership thereof by, BAM or
such Affiliate in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. The Rights Agent shall provide BAM with online access to view the Received Class A Share Account, which online interface shall be kept reasonably up-to-date by the Rights Agent. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, BAM shall be entitled to cause any of its Affiliates to take any action required to satisfy BAM’s obligations with respect to the Secondary Exchange Rights or otherwise pursuant to this
Agreement; provided that nothing other than full and complete payment and performance of such obligations shall relieve BAM of such obligations. 

(e)    In connection with an Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s exercise of the Secondary Exchange
Right with respect to any Subject Class A Shares held through DTC or another Depositary, such Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall deliver to the Rights Agent such Subject Class A Shares to the Received Class A Share Account
pursuant to DTC’s or such other Depositary’s Applicable Procedures. In addition, such Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall deliver to the Rights Agent via email or other appropriate method of communication on the Business Day prior to
the delivery of such Subject Class A Shares, a copy of such Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice; provided that the Rights Agent’s obligations pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) shall
not be affected by such Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s failure to so deliver a copy of such Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice if such Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s original Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice
is received by the Rights Agent within two Business Days of the date that the Rights Agent receives such Subject Class A Shares pursuant to DTC’s or another Depositary’s Applicable Procedures. In connection with any transfer by an
Exchanging Class A Shareholder of any Subject Class A Shares required by this Agreement which are not held through DTC or another Depositary, such Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall take all necessary action to cause such Subject
Class A Shares to be delivered to the Received Class A Share Account. 

Section 5.    Exercise of Rights. 

The Rights Agent shall cause the BEP Units Amount delivered to any Exchanging Class A Shareholder pursuant to
Section 4(a) to be delivered to or upon the order of the Exchanging Class A Shareholder, registered in such name or names as such Exchanging Class A Shareholder held such Subject Class A Shares (all as set
forth in the Company Notice or the Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, as applicable). 

Section 6.    Confirmation Procedures. 

(a)    If the BEP Units Amount or the Cash Amount to be delivered pursuant to
Section 4 above is to be delivered in a name other than that in which the Subject Class A Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the BEP Units
Amount or the Cash Amount may be delivered to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Subject Class A Shares so surrendered are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Subject Class A Shares
are properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such delivery

in the immediately preceding sentence, BAM shall instruct the Rights Agent in writing to deliver such BEP Units Amount or Cash Amount to such other Person. Unless the Rights Agent has received such written instruction from BAM pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence prior to the delivery by the Rights Agent of the BEP Units Amount or Cash Amount with respect to such Subject Class A Shares, the Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation under this
Section 6(a) and shall deliver or cause to be delivered the BEP Units Amount or Cash Amount to the party designated in the Company Notice without further inquiry. 

(b)    All Subject Class A Shares shall be delivered to the Received Class A Share Account free
and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever, and should any such liens, claims and encumbrances exist or arise with respect to such Subject Class A Shares, the Exchanging Class A Shareholder shall not be entitled to exercise
its Secondary Exchange Rights with respect to such Subject Class A Shares. Each Exchanging Class A Shareholder will pay to BAM the amount of any tax withholding due upon the exchange of Subject Class A Shares pursuant to this
Agreement and, in the event BAM elects to acquire some or all of the Subject Class A Shares from the Exchanging Class A Shareholder in exchange for the Cash Amount in accordance with Section 4(b), will authorize
BAM to retain such portion of the Cash Amount as BAM reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. In the event BAM elects to acquire some or all of the Subject Class A Shares from the Exchanging Class A
Shareholder in exchange for the BEP Units Amount, BAM may elect to either satisfy the amount of any tax withholding due upon the exchange of Subject Class A Shares by retaining BEP Units with a fair market value, as reasonably determined by BAM
in good faith, equal to the amount of such obligation, or satisfy such tax withholding obligation using amounts paid by BAM, which amounts shall be treated as a loan by BAM to the Exchanging Class A Shareholder, in each case, unless the
Exchanging Class A Shareholder, at the Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s election, has paid or has made arrangements satisfactory to BAM, in its sole discretion, to pay, the amount of any such tax withholding. BAM shall notify the
Exchanging Class A Shareholder within one Business Day following the date of the Company Notice or the Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, as applicable, of BAM’s good faith estimate of the amount of any tax withholding due upon
the exchange of the Subject Class A Shares subject to such Company Notice or the Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, provide the Exchanging Class A Shareholder with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation
or take such other steps in order to avoid or reduce such withholding, and reasonably cooperate with the Exchanging Class A Shareholder in good faith to attempt to reduce any amounts that would otherwise be withheld pursuant to this
Section 6(b); provided that any determination with respect to the withholding shall be made by BAM, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(b),
in no event shall an Exchanging Class A Shareholder be subject to withholding both under section 26.19 of the Company’s Articles and under this Section 6(b), and any amounts paid or withheld with respect to a
Subject Class A Share pursuant to section 26.19 of the Company’s Articles shall be credited against and deemed to satisfy the Exchanging Class A Shareholder’s withholding obligation pursuant to this
Section 6(b).

 Section 7.    BEP Units
Record Date. 
 Each former Exchanging Class A Shareholder who receives the BEP Units Amount upon the exercise of
the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to any Subject Class A Share pursuant to this Agreement shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the owner of the BEP Units representing the BEP Units Amount for which the Secondary Exchange
Right with respect to such Subject Class A Share is exercisable as of the date upon which such Class A Shareholder’s Subject Class A Share is duly surrendered in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to such Class A
Shareholder’s surrender of such Subject Class A Share in accordance with this Agreement, the Class A Shareholder shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of such BEP Units for which the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to
such Subject Class A Share shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any
proceedings of BEP with respect to such BEP Units. For the avoidance of doubt, any Class A Shareholder who receives the Cash Amount in satisfaction of the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to any Class A Share pursuant to this
Agreement shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of BEP Units at any time with respect to the BEP Units for which the Secondary Exchange Right with respect to such Subject Class A Share was exercisable prior to the receipt of such Cash
Amount. 
 Section 8.    Collateral Account. 

(a)    BAM or one or more Affiliates of BAM shall establish one or more
non-interest bearing trust accounts in the name of BAM or such Affiliates that will be administered by the Rights Agent (together, the “Collateral Account”). The Rights Agent shall requisition the
BEP Units Amount or the Cash Amount, as applicable, without any further action or approval from BAM, for payment to any Class A Shareholder in accordance with Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. BAM shall be responsible for ensuring that the Collateral Account Balance shall at times equal or exceed the Required Collateral Account Balance. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 8 and subject to any additional requirements with respect to the Collateral Account Balance contained in this Section 8, in the event that the Collateral Account
Balance shall at any time be less than the Required Collateral Account Balance, including, without limitation, as a result of an adjustment to the Conversion Factor or an increase in the BEP Unit Value, within two Business Days, BAM shall, or shall
cause an Affiliate to, deposit into the Collateral Account either (i) a number of BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles or (ii) an amount of cash or Cash Equivalents, in an amount necessary to cause the Collateral Account Balance to be at
least equal to the Required Collateral Account Balance. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to calculate the Required Collateral Account Balance, determine the Conversion Factor, determine if the Collateral Account Balance equals or
exceeds the Required Collateral Account Balance, or determine the amounts necessary to cause the Collateral Account Balance to equal or exceed the Required Collateral Account Balance. BAM covenants and agrees that it will take all action within its
control (including making requests of third parties and enforcing any contractual rights and/or obligations) to convert or redeem any BEP Unit Convertibles if necessary to satisfy any Class A Shareholder’s Secondary Exchange Right in
accordance with this Agreement, and any delivery of a BEP Units Amount pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in the form of BEP Units and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in the form of BEP Unit Convertibles. To the extent that conversion or
redemption of a BEP Unit Convertible results in the imposition of any fees, payments, premiums 

  
 -11- 










Table of Contents




 
or penalties, such fees, payments, premiums or penalties shall be borne by BAM, or its applicable Affiliates, and shall either be satisfied directly by BAM or such Affiliates or shall be deemed
to reduce the Collateral Account Balance. BAM shall keep the Rights Agent informed of the Collateral Account Balance and the Required Collateral Account Balance in writing on a regular basis, and shall inform the Rights Agent in writing within two
Business Days of any change in the Collateral Account Balance or the Required Collateral Account Balance for any reason, including as a result of an adjustment to the Conversion Factor or an increase in the BEP Unit Value. 

(b)    Prior to or substantially concurrently with the issuance of any Class A Shares by the Company,
BAM shall, or cause an Affiliate of BAM to, deposit BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles into the Collateral Account such that, after taking into account the number of BEP Units issued or issuable upon conversion or redemption of such BEP Unit
Convertibles, the number of BEP Units deposited into the Collateral Account shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of such Class A Shares issued (excluding any shares issued to BAM or its Affiliates) multiplied by (ii) the
Conversion Factor. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to calculate the Conversion Factor, to determine the number of Class A Shares issued, or to determine the number of BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles necessary to equal the
product of (i) the number of such Class A Shares issued (excluding any shares issued to BAM or its Affiliates) multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Factor. 

(c)    Except as set forth in this Section 8(c), BAM and its Affiliates shall
not be entitled to withdraw any BEP Unit or BEP Unit Convertible from the Collateral Account. 

(i)    In the event that the Collateral Account Balance shall exceed the Required Collateral Account
Balance, either as a result of a change in the Conversion Factor or a decrease in the number of Class A Shares (excluding Class A Shares owned by BAM or its Affiliates) outstanding, BAM or an Affiliate of BAM shall be entitled to withdraw
(pursuant to a written instruction from BAM to the Rights Agent) from the Collateral Account a number of BEP Units, or BEP Unit Convertibles that are convertible into or redeemable for a number of BEP Units, up to an amount equal to (i) the
Collateral Account Balance minus (ii) the Required Collateral Account Balance. The Rights Agent shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely upon such written instruction from BAM in accordance with this
Section 8(c)(i) without liability or further inquiry. 
 (ii)    BAM, or any
Affiliate of BAM, shall be permitted to withdraw from the Collateral Account a BEP Unit, or the number of BEP Unit Convertibles that are convertible into or redeemable for a BEP Unit, upon the deposit by BAM or any Affiliate of BAM of the BEP Unit
Release Price with respect to such BEP Unit, or the number of BEP Unit Convertibles that are convertible into or redeemable for such BEP Unit, in the Collateral Account. 

(d)    If at any time the Collateral Account Cash Balance shall be less than the Required Collateral
Account Cash Balance, BAM shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, within two Business Days, deposit cash or Cash Equivalents (pursuant to a written instruction from BAM to the Rights Agent and as selected by BAM) in an amount necessary to cause the
Collateral Account Cash Balance to be at least equal to the Required Collateral Account Cash Balance.

Table of Contents




 (e)    Except as set forth in this
Section 8(e), BAM and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to withdraw any cash or Cash Equivalents from the Collateral Account. 

(i)    If at any time the Collateral Account Cash Balance shall be greater than one hundred and twenty
percent (120%) of the Required Collateral Account Cash Balance, either as a result of a change in the Conversion Factor or a decrease in the number of Class A Shares (excluding Class A Shares owned by BAM or its Affiliates) outstanding,
BAM or its Affiliates shall be permitted to withdraw (pursuant to a written instruction from BAM to the Rights Agent) cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount not to exceed the excess of (i) the Collateral Account Cash Balance minus (ii) one
hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Required Collateral Account Cash Balance. The Rights Agent shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely upon such written instruction from BAM in accordance with this
Section 8(e)(i) without liability or further inquiry. 
 (ii)    Upon the
deposit in the Collateral Account of a number of BEP Units, or of BEP Unit Convertibles that are convertible into or redeemable for such number of BEP Units, BAM, or an Affiliate of BAM, shall be permitted to withdraw (pursuant to a written
instruction from BAM to the Rights Agent) cash or Cash Equivalents from the Collateral Account in an amount equal to the aggregate BEP Unit Value of such number of BEP Units, or of the number of BEP Units issuable upon the conversion or
redemption of such BEP Unit Convertibles, as applicable. 
 (f)    For the avoidance of doubt, BAM,
or its applicable Affiliates, shall remain the beneficial owner of any BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles deposited by BAM or such Affiliates into the Collateral Account for so long as such BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles remain in the Collateral
Account, and shall hold all of the rights, powers, privileges and preferences appurtenant to such BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles, including, without limitation, the right to distributions on such BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles. In the event
that the Collateral Account consists of more than one account and (i) the Rights Agent has not received written instructions from BAM as to which account to use for any specific transaction described in this Section 8
or (ii) there shall not be an amount within the account designated by BAM to satisfy any applicable BEP Units Amount or Cash Amount to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, in such cases the Rights Agent shall follow an order of account
priority, to be provided in writing by BAM upon the establishment each new account, when determining which account to use for any of the transactions described in this Section 8. BAM also covenants and agrees that it will
take all action within its control to ensure that any transfer agent of the BEP Unit certificates and Class A Shares will comply with the Rights Agent’s instructions in carrying out the purposes of this Agreement. BAM shall provide the
Rights Agent with all necessary information and contact details for each transfer agent for the BEP Unit certificates and Class A Shares. The Rights Agent shall have no liability for the failure of any transfer agent to facilitate or effect any
transfers contemplated hereby, or for any delay in doing so, or for the failure of BAM of its obligations under this Section 8(f). Prior to any transfer contemplated by this Agreement, BAM shall instruct the transfer agents
for any BEP Unit certificates and Class A Shares to follow the instructions of the Rights Agent in connection with any exchange of Class A Shares for BEP Units as set forth herein. 

(g)    In connection with any transfer by BAM of BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles into the Collateral
Account required by this Agreement which are held through DTC 

  
 -13-

or another Depositary, BAM shall deliver to the Rights Agent such BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles to the Collateral Account pursuant to DTC’s or such other Depositary’s Applicable
Procedures. In connection with any transfer by BAM of BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles into the Collateral Account required by this Agreement which are not held through DTC or another Depositary, BAM shall take all necessary action to cause such
BEP Units or BEP Unit Convertibles to be delivered to the Collateral Account. 

Section 9.    Registration of BEP Unit Resales. 

In the event that a shelf registration statement, prospectus or Prospectus Exemption (as defined below) registering or
exempting, as applicable, the transfer of BEP Units (including BEP Units that are issuable upon conversion of or redemption for BEP Unit Convertibles in the Collateral Account) from the Collateral Account to an Exchanging Class A Shareholder
(or to such other Person as may be entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) has, at any time, not been effective for five (5) consecutive Business Days, BAM shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of BAM to, deposit in the
Collateral Account an amount of cash or Cash Equivalents equal to the BEP Unit Release Price for all BEP Units held in the Collateral Account (including BEP Units that are issuable upon conversion of for redemption for BEP Unit Convertibles in the
Collateral Account) that cease to be Registered BEP Units (as defined below) as a result thereof, within five (5) Business Days; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, no such deposit is required to the extent all of the
BEP Units in the Collateral Account, including BEP Units that are issuable upon conversion of or redemption for BEP Unit Convertibles in the Collateral Account, and the transfer of such BEP Units (including BEP Units that are issuable upon
conversion of or redemption for BEP Unit Convertibles in the Collateral Account) from the Collateral Account to an Exchanging Class A Shareholder (or to such other Person as may be entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) are
(i) registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) qualified for distribution by BAM to Exchanging Class A Shareholders under the
securities laws applicable in each of the provinces and territories of Canada through the filing of a prospectus (or exempt from the applicable prospectus requirements in such jurisdictions (a “Prospectus Exemption”)) (each BEP Unit
so registered, including BEP Units that are issuable upon conversion of or redemption for BEP Unit Convertibles in the Collateral Account, a “Registered BEP Unit”). The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and no
liability) to determine if any BEP Unit, including BEP Units that are issuable upon conversion of or redemption for BEP Unit Convertibles, or any BEP Unit Convertible held in the Collateral Account or transferred to an Exchanging Class A
Shareholder is a Registered BEP Unit freely transferable under the U.S. federal securities laws or the laws applicable in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. 

Section 10.    Concerning BAM. 

(a)    BAM agrees that any Class A Shareholder may at any time and from time to time, without notice
to or further consent of BAM, extend the time of payment of the Exchange Rights or Secondary Exchange Rights, and may also make any agreement with the Company, BEP, or any other Person, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or
release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between a Class A Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Company, BEP or any such other Person,

on the other hand, it being understood that no such action shall impair, affect, alter or increase BAM’s obligations under this Agreement or affect the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement. 
 (b)    BAM agrees that its obligations hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected
or impaired by reason of (a) the assertion by any Class A Shareholder of any rights or remedies which it may have under or with respect to this Agreement or against any Person obligated hereunder, (b) any Class A
Shareholder’s failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any such right or remedy or any right or remedy such Class A Shareholder may have hereunder, (c) any change in the structure or ownership of the Company, (d) any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company, BEP or any other Person, (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that BAM may have at any time
against the Company, BEP or any of their respective Affiliates, whether in connection with the Exchange Right, the Secondary Exchange Rights or otherwise; (f) the validity or enforceability of the Exchange Right; or (g) any other
circumstance whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company with respect to the Exchange Right, in bankruptcy or any other instance, other than as provided herein. 

(c)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BAM hereby expressly waives any and all rights
or defenses arising by reason of any applicable law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by any Class A Shareholder. BAM waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Agreement and of the Exchange Right, all
defenses that may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar applicable law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Company or any other Person, and all suretyship
defenses generally. BAM acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Master Services Agreement and that this Agreement, including specifically the waivers set forth in this Agreement, is knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits and after the advice of counsel. 
 (d)    BAM hereby unconditionally
waives any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company or its subsidiaries that arise from the existence, payment, performance, or enforcement of BAM’s obligations under or in respect of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification. 

(e)    BAM hereby represents and warrants that: 

(i)    the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by
all necessary action, and do not contravene any provision of BAM’s organizational documents or any applicable law, order, judgment or contractual restriction binding on BAM or its assets; 

(ii)    all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with and notifications to, any
governmental entity necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by BAM have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental entity is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement;

 (iii)    this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the BAM enforceable against BAM in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar applicable laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and 

(iv)    as of the date hereof, BAM has the financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under
this Agreement. 
 Section 11.    Rights of Action. 

All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, excepting the rights of action given to the Rights Agent under
Section 12 hereof, are vested in the Class A Shareholders; and any Class A Shareholder may, without the consent of the Rights Agent or of any other Class A Shareholder, on such holder’s own behalf and
for such holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against BAM to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, such holder’s right to exercise the Secondary Exchange Rights and the
Class A Shareholders’ rights under this Agreement, in each case in the manner provided in the Company’s Articles and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the Class A Shareholders, it is
specifically acknowledged that the Class A Shareholders would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement and will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations under, and injunctive relief against actual or
threatened violations of the obligations of any Person subject to, this Agreement. BAM agrees to pay all expenses, including all reasonable and documented third party costs and
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel), actually paid or incurred by such Class A Shareholder in enforcing any of such Class A
Shareholder’s rights hereunder or otherwise relating to any litigation or other proceeding brought by such Class A Shareholder to enforce such Class A Shareholder’s rights hereunder, if such Class A Shareholder prevails in
such litigation or proceeding. 
 Section 12.    Concerning the Rights
Agent. 
 (a)    BAM agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder in accordance with Exhibit C attached hereto and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its
duties hereunder. BAM also agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense, incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for anything
done or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability in connection therewith. The indemnification provided for
hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Secondary Exchange Rights and the termination of this Agreement. The costs and expenses of enforcing this right of indemnification shall also be paid by BAM. The Rights Agent shall have no right of set-off against any funds in the Collateral Account with respect to any amounts owed to the Rights Agent by BAM hereunder.

 (b)    The Rights Agent may conclusively rely upon and
shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of this Agreement in reliance upon any instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney,
endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document reasonably believed by it, in good faith, to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the
proper Person or Persons, or otherwise upon the advice of legal counsel to the Rights Agent (who may be an employee of the Rights Agent or outside legal counsel for the Rights Agent). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no
event shall the Rights Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Rights Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of the action. 
 Section 13.    Merger or
Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent. 
 Any Person into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent
may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the
Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such Person would be
eligible for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 15 hereof. The acquisition of substantially all of the Rights Agent’s assets employed in the exercise of corporate trust powers shall
be deemed to be a merger or consolidation for purposes of this Section 
13. 
 Section 14.    Duties of Rights Agent. 

The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement which shall be deemed purely
ministerial in nature and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. Under no circumstances will the Rights Agent be deemed to be a fiduciary to BAM, the Company, any Class A Shareholder or any
other person under this Agreement. The Rights Agent will not be responsible or liable for the failure of BAM, the Company, BEP, any transfer agent, any Class A Shareholder or any other person to perform in accordance with this Agreement. The
Rights Agent shall perform those duties and obligations upon the following terms and conditions: 

(a)    Before the Rights Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may consult with legal counsel (who may be
an employee of the Rights Agent or outside legal counsel for the Rights Agent), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in
accordance with such opinion. 
 (b)    Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement
the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and

established by a certificate signed by an authorized signatory of BAM identified in Exhibit B-2 attached hereto (which exhibit may be updated by BAM
from time to time in BAM’s reasonable discretion, provided that such update does not adversely affect any Class A Shareholder or its rights hereunder in any respect) and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be full
authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 

(c)    The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. The Rights Agent shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, indirect or consequential damages or losses of any kind whatsoever (including without limitation lost profits), even if the Rights Agent has been advised of
the possibility of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action. 
 (d)    The Rights
Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Company’s Articles or be required to verify the same. 

(e)    The Rights Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement
or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Rights Agent); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by BAM of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to
make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any BEP Units to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or as to whether any BEP Units will, when so issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 (f)    BAM agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed,
executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement. 

(g)    The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept (and shall be entitled to conclusively
and exclusively rely upon, without further inquiry) instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any Person reasonably believed by the Rights Agent to be one of the authorized signatories of BAM listed on Exhibit B-2 attached hereto (which exhibit may be updated by BAM from time to time in BAM’s reasonable discretion, provided that such update does not adversely affect any Class A Shareholder or its rights
hereunder in any respect), and to apply to such Persons for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such
officer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, whenever the Rights Agent is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement, or in the event that the Rights Agent is unsure as
to the application of any provision of this Agreement or believes any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any
determination or discretion by the Rights Agent or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Rights Agent is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Rights Agent shall promptly give notice (in such form
as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to BAM requesting instruction as to the course of action to

be adopted, and to the extent the Rights Agent acts in good faith in accordance with any written instructions received from BAM the Rights Agent shall not be liable on account of such action to
any person. If the Rights Agent shall not have received appropriate instruction within ten (10) days of such notice (or such shorter period as reasonably may be specified in such notice or as may be necessary under the circumstances) it shall
be entitled to take no action and shall give prompt written notice of its decision not to take action to BAM, to the Company, and to any Exchanging Class A Shareholder that may be affected by such decision not to take action. Any application by
the Rights Agent for written instructions from BAM may, at the option of the Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Rights Agent under this Agreement and the date on or after which such action shall be
taken or such omission shall be effective. The Rights Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Rights Agent in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date specified in such
application unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Rights Agent shall have received, in response to such application, written instructions with respect to the proposed action or omission
specifying a different action to be taken or omitted. 
 (h)    To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Rights Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Class A Shares or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which BAM
or the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to BAM or the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any
other capacity for BAM, the Company or for any other Person. 
 (i)    The Rights Agent may execute and
exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of
any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to BAM or the Class A Shareholders resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof. 

(j)    No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability (other than expenses and overhead incurred in the ordinary course by the Rights Agent’s performance under this Agreement) in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights
if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

(k)    Other than with respect to a Company Notice, Exchanging Class A Shareholder Notice, BAM
instruction, or deposit of Class A Shares in the Received Class A Share Account in accordance with Section 4, the Rights Agent shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any fact, event or
determination under this Agreement unless and until the Rights Agent shall be specifically notified in writing by BAM of such fact, event or determination.

 (l)    The Rights Agent shall not be responsible or
liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligation under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes;
fire; flood; wars; acts of terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil

practicable under the circumstances.

for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties. The Rights Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document. 

(n)    Unless subject to reimbursement by BAM pursuant to Section 12(a) or
reasonably necessary in order for the Rights Agent to perform its express obligations hereunder in accordance herewith, notwithstanding anything contained herein or elsewhere to the contrary, the Rights Agent shall not be required to take any action
in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of such action will (x) require the Rights Agent in its individual capacity to obtain the consent, approval, authorization or order of or the giving of notice to, or the
registration with, or taking of any action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency other than the State of Delaware; (y) result in any fee, tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the State of Delaware becoming payable by the Rights Agent in its individual capacity, or (z) subject the Rights Agent in its individual capacity to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware for causes of
action arising from acts unrelated to the consummation of the transactions by the Rights Agent contemplated hereby. 

(o)    The right of the Rights Agent to perform any discretionary act (if any) enumerated in this

of Rights Agent. 
 The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under

in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by a Class A Shareholder, then any Class A Shareholder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights

Agent, the Company, and each transfer agent of the Class A Shares and the BEP Units. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 15, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity
of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

Section 17.    Supplements and Amendments. 

BAM may from time to time, and the Rights Agent shall, if BAM so directs, supplement or amend this Agreement without the
approval of any Class A Shareholder in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein, to make modifications necessary to reflect
changes in applicable law, including, without limitation, tax law, or to make any other change, in each case, provided that such change, amendment, modification or supplementation does not adversely affect any Class A Shareholder or its rights
hereunder in any respect. Except (i) as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, (ii) with respect to amendments or modifications to this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to impact the economic equivalence of a
Class A Share with a BEP Unit or (iii) as otherwise contemplated by Section 4(a)(i) or Section 14(b) with respect to updates to Exhibits B-1
and B-2, any amendment or modification to this Agreement shall require (a) pursuant to a consent request duly conducted by, and at the expense of, BAM or (b) at a duly called annual or special
meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the affirmative consent or vote, as applicable, of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Class A Shares not held by BAM, BEP or their controlled
Affiliates, voting as a class, and the approval of a majority of the independent directors (within the meaning of sections 1.4 and 1.5 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees of the Canadian
Securities Administrators, as such provisions may be amended from time to time and, if applicable, the listing standards of the securities exchange(s) on which the Class A Shares may then be listed) of the Company. Any amendment or modification
to this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to impact the economic equivalence of a Class A Share with a BEP Unit shall require (i) at a duly called annual or special meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the affirmative
consent or vote, as applicable, of holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares not held by BAM, BEP or their controlled Affiliates, voting as a class, or (ii) in the event that there is more than one independent director of the
Company (within the meaning of sections 1.4 and 1.5 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees of the Canadian Securities Administrators, as such provisions may be amended from time to time and, if
applicable, the listing standards of the securities exchange(s) on which the Class A Shares may then be listed) who does not also serve on the board of the general partner of BEP (each a
“non-overlapping director”), the approval of a majority of such non-overlapping directors. Any supplement or amendment authorized by this
Section 17 shall be evidenced by a writing signed by BAM and the Rights Agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no supplement or amendment that changes the rights and duties of the Rights Agent
under this Agreement will be effective against the Rights Agent without the execution of such supplement or amendment by the Rights Agent. In executing any amendment or supplement contemplated hereby, the Rights Agent shall be provided with, and
shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely upon, an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel to BAM) stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and all conditions precedent to
the execution and delivery thereof have been duly satisfied or waived.

the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder. 

Section 19.    Benefits of this Agreement. 

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other than BAM, the Rights Agent and the Class A
Shareholders any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of BAM, the Rights Agent and the Class A Shareholders. 

Section 20.    Severability. 

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other
authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. If any provision of
this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. 

Section 21.    Governing Law; Forum Selection. 

This Agreement and the Secondary Exchange Rights issued hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any action suit or proceeding arising
out of this Agreement, and all the rights and obligations governed by this Agreement, including the rights of the Class A Shareholders in accordance with Section 11, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the
Delaware Court of Chancery or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware, or, if both the Delaware Court of Chancery and the federal courts within the
State of Delaware decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state court within the State of Delaware, and, in each case, any appellate court therefrom. No action, suit or proceeding relating thereto shall be commenced in any
other court. Service of any process, summons, notice or document if delivered or made pursuant to Section 16 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding. Each party to this Agreement hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the aforementioned courts and
hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives all claims, and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court, that any action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 22.    Counterparts. 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 
Section 23.    Descriptive Headings. 
 The table of contents and descriptive headings
of the several Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. 

Section 24.    Term 

Subject to Section 25, this Agreement shall continue during the initial seven (7) year term and
automatically renew for successive periods of two years unless BAM provides the Rights Agent with written notice of termination at least 60 days prior to the expiry of the applicable Term. 

Section 25.    Administration; Termination. 

This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first Business Day where there shall be no
Class A Shares outstanding, other than Class A Shares owned by BAM or its Affiliates, (ii) (a) pursuant to a consent request duly conducted by, and at the expense of, BAM or (b) at a duly called annual or special meeting of the

accordance with Section 24. BAM shall provide the Rights Agent with written notice of the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 26.    No Waiver; Cumulative Rights. 

No failure on the part of any Class A Shareholder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Class A Shareholder of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder by such
Class A Shareholder or any other Class A Shareholder. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Class A Shareholders shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, remedy or power, and may be exercised by
any Class A Shareholder at any time or from time to time. 

Section 27.    Fractional Units. 

Class A Shareholders holding a number of Subject Class A Shares which would entitle such holders to receive less
than one whole BEP Unit pursuant to this Agreement shall receive cash in lieu of fractional units. Fractional BEP Units shall not be distributed to Class A Shareholders or credited to book-entry accounts. With respect to any delivery of BEP
Units to a Class A Shareholder under this Agreement, BAM shall promptly instruct the transfer agent for the

BEP Units to, as soon as practicable, (a) determine the number of whole BEP Units and fractional BEP Units allocable to each holder of record or beneficial owner of Class A Shares
entitled to receive BEP Units at such time, (b) aggregate all such fractional units into whole BEP Units and sell the whole BEP Units obtained thereby in open market transactions, in each case, at then-prevailing trading prices on behalf of
holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional BEP Units, and (c) distribute to each such holder, or for the benefit of each such beneficial owner, such holder or owner’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon
the average gross selling price per BEP Unit after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for tax purposes and any brokerage fees incurred in connection with these sales of fractional BEP Units. Neither BAM nor the
Rights Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional BEP Units. Neither BAM nor the Rights Agent will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional BEP Units. The transfer agent of the BEP Units acting on behalf of
the applicable party will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional BEP Units and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such units, provided that neither the transfer agent nor
the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional BEP Units are sold shall be Affiliates of BAM. 
 
Section 28.    Book Entry. 
 Reference in this Agreement to certificates for
Class A Shares or BEP Units shall include, in the case of uncertificated shares or units, the balances indicated in the book-entry account system of the transfer agent for the Class A Shares or BEP Units, as applicable. Any legend required
to be placed on any certificates for Class A Shares or BEP Units may instead be included on any book-entry confirmation or notification to the registered holder of such Class A Shares or BEP Units.

preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such BEP Distributed Rights become exercisable); provided, however, that, if any such BEP Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Conversion
Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the BEP Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of BEP Units or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction. 

Any adjustment under this clause (ii) will be made successively whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and
shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such issuance (or, if later, the date such rights, options or warrants become exercisable). To the extent that the BEP Units are not delivered and will not be
delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been
made on the basis of delivery of only the number of BEP Units actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BEP GP determines not to issue such
rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

 In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such BEP
Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by BEP for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be
determined by the BEP GP. 
 (iii)        (A) BEP distributes to all or
substantially all holders of BEP Units evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding distributions paid exclusively in cash, distributions referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) above or any Spin-off referred to in clause (iii)(B) below) or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities (but excluding distributions
referred to in clause (ii) above), the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution by a
fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately prior to the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the
Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution less the fair market value on the Record Date for such distribution (as determined by the BEP GP) of the portion of the evidences of
indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants so distributed applicable to one BEP Unit. 
 Any adjustment under this
clause (iii)(A) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BEP GP determines
not to pay or make such distribution, to be the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair market value (as determined by the BEP GP) of the portion of the evidences of
indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants distributable to one BEP Unit is equal to or greater than the average BEP Unit Value referenced above in this clause (iii)(A), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Class A Shareholder
shall receive from the Company, in respect of each Class A Share, a distribution of cash payable out of the funds legally available therefor (at the same time as holders of the BEP Units), that in the determination of the Company, is comparable
as a whole in all material respects with the amount of BEP indebtedness or assets or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities that such holder would have
received if such holder owned a number of BEP Units equal to the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Record Date.

 (B) Where there has been a Spin-off,
the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-off by a
fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the share capital or similar equity interest applicable to one BEP Unit distributed to BEP Unit holders over the Valuation Period plus the average of
the BEP Unit Value over the Valuation Period and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BEP Unit Value over the Valuation Period; provided that, the Company may elect to pay cash in lieu of making an adjustment to the
Conversion Factor provided by this clause (iii)(B), in which case the Company shall be required to pay to the Class A Shareholders and the Class A Shareholders shall be entitled to receive, cash on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately
following the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period in an amount in respect of each Class A Share held, calculated by multiplying the BEP Unit Value on the Record Date of such Spin-off by the amount
the Conversion Factor would have increased as a result of such Spin-off if no such cash payment was made. 

Any adjustment under this clause (iii)(B) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the
Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-off. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Class A Shareholder during the Valuation Period,
references contained in the definition of Valuation Period to “ten (10) consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed for the purposes of the foregoing for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed
between the Record Date of such Spin-off and the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date in determining the Conversion Factor. If any such Spin-off does not
occur, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BEP GP determines not to proceed with the Spin-off, to be the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Spin-off had not been pursued. 
 (iv)        BEP
or one of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the BEP Units (but excluding for all purposes any tender or exchange offer involving an offer to exchange BEP Units for Class A Shares or any other security
that is economically equivalent to BEP Units), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per BEP Unit exceeds the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period
commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to
equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be (x) the sum of
the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the BEP GP) paid or payable in respect of BEP Units in such tender or exchange offer plus (y) the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive
Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date multiplied by the number of BEP Units issued and outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all BEP
Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer, without duplication), and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of BEP Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (before giving
effect to the purchase of all BEP Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer) multiplied by the average of the BEP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the
Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

 For greater certainty, no adjustment under this clause (iv) will be
made for any normal course issuer bid or similar stock buyback. Any adjustment under this clause (iv) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day
next succeeding the Expiration Date and shall be given effect as of the Open of Business on the day next succeeding the Expiration Date. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Class A Shareholder during the Valuation Period,
references above to “ten (10) consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Expiration Date and the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Exchange Date in determining the Conversion Factor. 
 (v)        the Company
(a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares wholly or partly in Class A Shares; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding Class A Shares or (c) effects a reverse share split or otherwise combines or
reclassifies its outstanding Class A Shares into a smaller number of Class A Shares, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of
Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for
such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (determined without the assumption for such purpose that such dividend, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such
time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Class A Shares (assuming the above assumption has occurred) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date
for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

 Any adjustment under this clause (v) shall become effective immediately
after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such dividend, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If such dividend of the type
described in this clause (v) is declared but not so paid or made and will not be so paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the board of directors determines not to pay such dividend, to the
Conversion Factor that would be in effect if such dividend had not been declared. 
 (vi)    the Company
distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Class A Shares to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire Class A Shares (or other securities convertible into,
exchangeable for or exercisable for Class A Shares) at a price per share that is less than the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately
preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (each a “Class A Distributed Right”), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such Class A Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such
Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction
(A) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus
(y) such number of Class A Shares determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such Class A Distributed Rights of the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed
Rights by the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such
Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A
Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed Rights; provided, however, that, if any such Class A Distributed Rights expire or become no longer
exercisable, then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the Class A Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of Class A Shares or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase
price for the purposes of the above fraction.

 Any adjustment under this clause (vi) will be made successively
whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) for such issuance. To the
extent that the Class A Shares are not delivered and will not be delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Factor shall be increased to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect had the increase
with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Class A Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Factor shall be
increased, effective as of the date the board of directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred. 

In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such Class A Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into
account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the board of directors. 

Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall be calculated up to four (4) decimal places. Within ten (10) Business
Days of the effectiveness of any adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Factor, the Company shall make a public announcement of such adjustment or readjustment. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Factor shall not be adjusted in connection with (a) an event described in
clauses (i) through (iv) above (other than clause (iii)(B) above) if, in connection with such event, the Company makes a distribution of cash, Class A Shares, BEP Units and/or rights, options or warrants to acquire Class A Shares
and/or BEP Units with respect to all applicable Class A Shares, splits or subdivides the Class A Shares, distributes to all or substantially all holders of Class A Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets or effects a reverse
split of, or otherwise combines or makes an offer for, the Class A Shares, as applicable, that, in the determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with such event, (b) a
Spin-off as described in clause (iii)(B) above if the Company makes a distribution of the share capital or similar equity interests distributed to BEP Unit holders in the
Spin-off in an amount and on terms that are comparable in all material respects to such Spin-off, or (c) an event described in clauses (v) through
(vi) above if, in connection with such event, BEP makes a distribution of cash, Class A Shares, BEP Units and/or rights, options or warrants to acquire Class A Shares and/or BEP Units with respect to all BEP Units, splits or
subdivides the BEP Units or effects a reverse split of, or otherwise combines or makes an offer for, the BEP Units, as applicable, that, in the determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with such event;

 PART 10 

MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS 
 Annual
General Meetings 
 10.1    Unless an annual general meeting is deferred or waived in accordance with the Act, the
Company must hold its first annual general meeting within 18 months after the date on which it was incorporated or otherwise recognized, and after that must hold an annual general meeting at least once in each calendar year and not more than 15
months after the last annual reference date at such time and place as may be determined by the directors. 
 Resolution Instead of Annual General Meeting

 10.2    If all the shareholders who are entitled to vote at an annual general meeting consent in writing by a
unanimous resolution to all of the business that is required to be transacted at that annual general meeting, the annual general meeting is deemed to have been held on the date of the unanimous resolution. The shareholders must, in any unanimous
resolution passed under this §10.2, select as the Company’s annual reference date a date that would be appropriate for the holding of the applicable annual general meeting. A unanimous resolution passed in writing under this §10.2 may
be by signed document, fax, email or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded messages. Any electronic signature on a unanimous resolution, whether digital or encrypted, shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as a manual
signature. A unanimous resolution in writing may be in two or more counterparts which together are deemed to constitute one unanimous resolution in writing. 

Calling of Meetings of Shareholders 

10.3    The directors may, at any time, call a meeting of shareholders. 

Notice for Meetings of Shareholders 

10.4    The Company must send notice of the date, time and location of any meeting of shareholders (including, without
limitation, any notice specifying the intention to propose a resolution as a special resolution and any notice to consider approving a continuation into a foreign jurisdiction, an arrangement or the adoption of an amalgamation agreement, and any
notice of a general meeting, class meeting or series meeting), in the manner provided in these Articles, or in such other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by ordinary resolution (whether previous notice of the resolution has been given or not),
to each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting, to each director and to the auditor of the Company, unless these Articles otherwise provide, at least the following number of days before the meeting: 

(a)    if the Company is a public company, 21 days; 

(b)    otherwise, 10 days.

Table of Contents




 Record Date for Notice 

10.5    The directors may set a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of
any meeting of shareholders. The record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is to be held by more than two months or, in the case of a general meeting requisitioned by shareholders under the Act, by more than four months. The record
date must not precede the date on which the meeting is held by fewer than: 
 (a)    if the Company is a
public company, 21 days; 
 (b)    otherwise, 10 days. 

If no record date is set, the record date is 5 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the first date on which the notice is sent or, if no
notice is sent, the beginning of the meeting. 
 Record Date for Voting 

10.6    The directors may set a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to vote at
any meeting of shareholders. The record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is to be held by more than two months or, in the case of a general meeting requisitioned by shareholders under the Act, by more than four months. If no

Failure to Give Notice and Waiver of Notice 

10.7    The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting of shareholders to, or the
non-receipt of any notice by, any of the persons entitled to notice does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting. Any person entitled to notice of a meeting of shareholders may, in writing or otherwise,
waive that entitlement or may agree to reduce the period of that notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting of shareholders is a waiver of entitlement to notice of the meeting unless that person attends the meeting for the express purpose of
objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called. 
 Notice of Special Business at Meetings of
Shareholders 
 10.8    If a meeting of shareholders is to consider special business within the meaning of
§11.1, the notice of meeting must: 
 (a)    state the general nature of the special business; and

 (b)    if the special business includes considering, approving, ratifying, adopting or authorizing
any document or the signing of or giving of effect to any document, have attached to it a copy of the document or state that a copy of the document will be available for inspection by shareholders:

Columbia as is specified in the notice; and

more specified days before the day set for the holding of the meeting.

Columbia approved by a resolution of the directors, or if so approved by a resolution of the directors, any general meeting may be held entirely by means of an electronic or other communication facility that permits all persons participating in the
meeting to communicate adequately with each other to the extent permitted by the Act.

 Meeting Valid Despite Failure to Give Notice 

17.9    The accidental omission to give notice of any meeting of directors to, or the
non-receipt of any notice by, any director, does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting. 
 Waiver of
Notice of Meetings 
 17.10    Any director may send to the Company a document signed by him or her waiving notice
of any past, present or future meeting or meetings of the directors and may at any time withdraw that waiver with respect to meetings held after that withdrawal. After sending a waiver with respect to all future meetings and until that waiver is
withdrawn, no notice of any meeting of the directors need be given to that director and all meetings of the directors so held are deemed not to be improperly called or constituted by reason of notice not having been given to such director.
Attendance of a director at a meeting of the directors is a waiver of notice of the meeting unless that director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not
lawfully called. 
 Quorum 

17.11    The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors may be set by the directors and, if not
so set, is deemed to be a majority of the directors or, if the number of directors is set at one, is deemed to be set at one director, and that director may constitute a meeting. 

Validity of Acts Where Appointment Defective 

17.12    Subject to the Act, an act of a director or officer is not invalid merely because of an irregularity in the
election or appointment or a defect in the qualification of that director or officer. 
 Consent Resolutions in Writing 

17.13    A resolution of the directors or of any committee of the directors may be passed without a meeting: 

(a)    in all cases, if each of the directors entitled to vote on the resolution consents to it in
writing; or 
 (b)    in the case of a resolution to approve a contract or transaction in respect of
which a director has disclosed that he or she has or may have a disclosable interest, if each of the other directors who have not made such a disclosure consents in writing to the resolution. 

A consent in writing under this §17.13 may be by signed document, fax, email or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded
messages. Any electronic signature on a consent, whether digital or encrypted, shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as a manual signature. A consent in writing may be in two or more counterparts which together are deemed to constitute
one consent in writing. A resolution of the directors or of any committee of the directors passed in accordance with this §17.13 is effective on the date stated in the consent in writing or on the latest date stated on any counterpart and is
deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of directors or of the committee of the directors and to be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors or of the committee of the directors that satisfies all the requirements
of the Act and all the requirements of these Articles relating to meetings of the directors or of a committee of the directors.

the meeting was originally called and a resolution passed thereat by the affirmative vote of not less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast on such amendment at such reconvened meeting by the Non-Affiliated Holders

reasonably be expected to impact the economic equivalence of a Class A Share with a BEP Unit shall require (i) at a duly called annual or special meeting of the Class A Shareholders, the affirmative consent or vote, as applicable, of
holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares held by Non-Affiliated Holders voting as a class, or (ii) in the event that there is more than one independent director of the Company (within
the meaning of sections 1.4 and 1.5 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees of the Canadian Securities Administrators, as such provisions may be amended from time to time and, if applicable, the

Exchange at the Option of the Class A Shareholder 

26.12     Subject to applicable Law and the due exercise by BEP of the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, at any time from

 Satisfaction of Exchange Rights 

26.14     Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a Notice of Exchange and such additional documents and instruments as the
Company or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, and provided that BEP has not exercised the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, the Company will redeem the applicable Tendered Class A Shares on or prior to the Specified Exchange Date. The
Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Tendering Class A Shareholder, at the address of the holder recorded in the register of the Company for the Class A Shares or at the address specified in the holder’s Notice of
Exchange, either (i) the BEP Units Amount, or (ii) the Cash Amount, as the Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, together with a cash amount for each Tendered Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per
Tendered Class A Share ((i) or (ii), plus such Unpaid Dividends collectively being the “Exchange Consideration”) and such delivery of such Exchange Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent will be
deemed to be payment of and will satisfy and discharge all liability for the Exchange Rights so exercised. Should the Company elect to satisfy Exchange Rights by delivering the Cash Amount, then the payment of such amount shall be made in the manner
set forth in §26.4. 
 26.15     Any Tendering Class A Shareholder shall have no further right, with respect
to any Tendered Class A Shares redeemed, repurchased or exchanged, to receive any dividends on Class A Shares with a Record Date on or after the date on which the Transfer Agent receives such Notice of Exchange. Each Tendering Class A
Shareholder shall continue to own each Class A Share subject to any Notice of Exchange, and be treated as a Class A Shareholder with respect to each such Class A Share for all other purposes of these Articles, until such Class A
Share has been redeemed in accordance with §26.14 or repurchased or exchanged in accordance with the Rights Agreement, as applicable, for the Secondary Exchange Amount in accordance with §26.17. A Tendering Class A Shareholder shall
have no rights as a unitholder of BEP with respect to any BEP Units to be received by such Tendering Class A Shareholder in exchange for Tendered Class A Shares pursuant to §26.12 until the Transfer Agent has issued such BEP Units to
such Tendering Class A Shareholder. 
 26.16     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the
Company will not be obligated to redeem Tendered Class A Shares to the extent that such redemption would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable Law. If the Company believes that it would not be permitted by any
such requirements or other provisions to redeem the Tendered Class A Shares, and BEP has not exercised its Exchange-Redemption Call Right with respect to the Tendered Class A Shares, the Company will only be obligated to redeem the maximum
number of Tendered Class A Shares (rounded down to a whole number of Class A Shares) that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions. The Company will notify any such Tendering Class A Shareholder at least one
Business Day prior to the Specified Exchange Date as to the number of Tendered Class A Shares that will be redeemed by the Company. Where there is more than one Tendering Class A Shareholder, the Company will redeem the maximum number of
Tendered Class A Shares that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions among such Tendering Class A Shareholders on a pro rata basis.

 Secondary Exchange Rights 

26.17     For so long as the Rights Agreement has not been terminated, if a Tendering Class A Shareholder has not
received the Exchange Consideration with respect to any Tendered Class A Shares by the Close of Business on the applicable Specified Exchange Date for any reason, then, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Rights
Agreement, which the Class A Shareholders shall have a right to enforce, such Tendering Class A Shareholder shall be entitled to receive from BAM the Secondary Exchange Amount with respect to each such Tendered Class A Share no later
than the applicable Secondary Exchange Date (the “Secondary Exchange Right”). The Company shall send to BAM and to the Rights Agent on the applicable Specified Exchange Date a notice to the effect that the Tendering Class A
Shareholder has not received the Exchange Consideration and such notice will set forth the identity of the Tendering Class A Shareholder, the number of Tendered Class A Shares, the amounts of such Exchange Consideration then not paid and
will be otherwise consistent with the definition of “Company Notice” in the Rights Agreement. 
 No Fractional BEP Units 

26.18     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fractional BEP Units shall be issued in connection
with the satisfaction of Exchange Rights, in connection with a redemption of a Class A Share or in connection with a Liquidation Event. In lieu of any fractional BEP Units to which the Tendering Class A Shareholder would otherwise be
entitled, the Company shall pay a cash amount equal to the BEP Unit Value on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date multiplied by such fraction of a BEP Unit. In lieu of any fractional BEP Units to which the Tendering Class A
Shareholder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Rights Agent shall pay a cash amount as determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement. 

Withholding Taxes 

26.19     Each Tendering Class A Shareholder shall be required to pay to the Company the amount of any tax
withholding due upon the redemption of Tendered Class A Shares pursuant to §26.12 to §26.14 and will be deemed to have authorized the Company to retain such portion of the Exchange Consideration as the Company reasonably
determines is necessary to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. Before making any withholding pursuant to this §26.19, the Company shall give each Tendering Class A Shareholder within three (3) Business Days after the
Company’s receipt of a Notice of Exchange from such Tendering Class A Shareholder, notice of the Company’s good faith estimate of the amount of any anticipated tax withholding (together with the legal basis therefor) due upon the
redemption of the Tendered Class A Shares subject to such Notice of Exchange, provide the Tendering Class A Shareholder with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid or
reduce such tax withholding, and reasonably cooperate with the Tendering Class A Shareholder in good faith to attempt to reduce any amounts that would otherwise be withheld pursuant to this §26.19; provided that any determination with
respect to the tax withholding shall be made by the Company, BEP or an affiliate of BEP, as applicable, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith.

shareholders, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation Event”), including where substantially concurrent with the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of BEP, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “BEP Liquidation
Event”), each Class A Shareholder shall, subject to the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right, be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution on the effective date of the Liquidation Event

 26.28     If,
upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make payment in full to all Class A Shareholders of the foregoing amounts set forth in §26.26 with respect to the Liquidation Event, then such assets (or
consideration) shall be distributed among the Class A Shareholders at the time outstanding, rateably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled to receive under §26.26.

26.29     Notwithstanding §26.26, BEP will have the overriding right (the “Liquidation Call Right”),

of the Company and at least five Business Days before the Liquidation Date in the case of an involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. If BEP exercises the Liquidation Call Right in accordance with this §26.30, all
obligations of the Company under §26.26 to §26.28 will terminate and on the Liquidation Date BEP will purchase and Class A Shareholders will sell all of their Class A Shares then outstanding for a price per unit equal to the
Liquidation Call Consideration. 
 Automatic Redemption Rights 

26.31     Subject to the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right, in connection with a BEP Liquidation Event, including
where substantially concurrent with a Liquidation Event, the Company shall, subject to applicable Law, redeem all outstanding Class A Shares on the day prior to the effective date of the BEP Liquidation Event for, in its sole and absolute
