 2.3 Calculation of Closing Purchase Price Payment 
  

	 	(a)	 	For purposes of determining the amount of the Purchase Price that is payable at Closing (the “Closing Purchase Price Payment”): 

  

	 	(i)	 	the BECL Group Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities shall be estimated to be $80,000,000 (the “Estimated Tax Liability”); 

  

	 	(ii)	 	the Pension Fund Adjustment Amount shall be estimated at $20,000,000 (the “Estimated Pension Fund Adjustment Amount”); and 

  

	 	(iii)	 	the Parties shall cooperate in calculating as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than the Closing Date) the amount of any adjustment required to be made to the Purchase
Price pursuant to Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b), 2.2(c)(ii), 2.2(c)(iii) and 2.2(c)(v). 

  
 An amount equal to the Estimated Tax Liability (the “Tax Liability Holdback”) and an amount equal to the Estimated Pension Fund Adjustment Amount
(the “Pension Holdback”) shall be deposited as holdbacks as set out in Section 2.5 and shall be released in accordance with the provisions in Section 2.5. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 6.1, BEIHL may specify by notice delivered to the
Investors not less than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date that no Intercompany Debt will be outstanding at Closing, in which case BE shall ensure that all Intercompany Debt is repaid on or prior to Closing and no adjustment shall be made
pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(v). 
  

	 	(b)	 	Not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, BEIHL shall provide to AcquisitionCo a statement setting out in reasonable detail its calculation of the Closing Purchase Price
Payment. The Parties shall co-operate to resolve any dispute as to the Closing Purchase Price Payment not later than 12:01 p.m. (Toronto time) on the day prior to the Closing Date. In the event a dispute in respect of the amount to be paid under
Section 2.2(c)(ii) or (iii) cannot be resolved by the Closing Date, the Closing will occur using the amount that AcquisitionCo represents and warrants to BEIHL is the correct amount. 

  
 2.4 Closing Purchase Price Payment 
  
 Subject to Section 2.6, the Closing Purchase Price Payment shall be paid on Closing as follows:

  

 26 









	 	(a)	 	as to $100,000,000, in accordance with section 2(x) of the OPG Heads of Agreement; 

  

	 	(b)	 	as to $100,000,000 (the “Safety and Performance Pool Trust Amount”), by deposit to a trustee pursuant to the Safety and Power Performance Pool Escrow Agreement as
contemplated by section 2(xi) of the OPG Heads of Agreement; 

  

	 	(c)	 	as to $20,000,000 (the “Claims Holdback”), by deposit to an account as set out in Section 2.5; and 

  

	 	(d)	 	as to the balance, in cash at Closing by wire transfer to such account as may be specified by BEIHL in writing and approved in writing by the DTI in each case by notice to the Investors not
less than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; 

  
 provided that, if the Purchase Price has been reduced pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(v), the Investors shall cause AcquisitionCo at Closing to acquire on a dollar-for-dollar basis, or fund the repayment at Closing of, the amount of Intercompany
Debt deducted from the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(v) provided that arrangements have been put in place for (i) such acquisition or repayment of the Intercompany Debt on Closing without penalty or costs, including any applicable Taxes,
in addition to the amounts set out in Schedule E, and (ii) the payment or repayment of the Intercompany Debt to be made into an account specified by BE or BEIHL and approved in writing by the DTI. 
  
 2.5 Escrow and Holdback Provisions 
  

	 	(a)	 	Each of the Claims Holdback, the Pension Holdback and the Tax Liability Holdback (each a “Holdback Amount” and collectively, the “Holdback Amounts”) shall be
held in a separate segregated account with a recognized Canadian trust company agreed to by BEIHL and AcquisitionCo and shall be invested in Province of Ontario treasury bills. 

  

	 	(b)	 	The Claims Holdback or any part thereof shall be available to the Investors to satisfy any amount finally determined to be owed by BE and/or BEIHL to AcquisitionCo or any of the Investors in
respect of claims as provided in Section 2.5(c). 

  

	 	(c)	 	The balance of the Claims Holdback, if any, shall be released to an account of BEIHL or BE as BEIHL or BE directs and as is approved in writing by the DTI upon satisfaction or termination of
all claims, if any, made by AcquisitionCo or any of the Investors in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing, but only after the final resolution of all such claims. 

  

 27 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount that remains held back at the end of such two year period that exceeds
the maximum aggregate amount that could be payable on all outstanding claims at such date, which maximum aggregate amount must be quantifiable at such time, shall be released at such date to an account of BEIHL or BE as BEIHL or BE directs and as is
approved in writing by the DTI. An amount shall be finally determined to be owed by BE and/or BEIHL when BE or BEIHL admits such amount is owing or a final judgment of a court or the Arbitrators appointed pursuant to Schedule J determines the amount
is owing. 
  

	 	(d)	 	Accrued interest less applicable Taxes, if any, on the Holdback Amounts shall be paid to the recipient(s) of the principal amount thereof. 

  

	 	(e)	 	The Pension Holdback shall be dealt with in accordance with Schedule I. 

  

	 	(f)	 	The Tax Liability Holdback shall be dealt with in accordance with Schedule D. 

  

	 	(g)	 	At Closing, the Investors (or direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the Investors) shall deposit $20,000,000 pursuant to the Bruce A Reactor Restart Escrow Agreement as contemplated by section
2(xii) of the OPG Heads of Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, deposit of such sum by the Investors (or such Subsidiaries) pursuant to the Bruce A Reactor Restart Escrow Agreement is not a deduction from, or payable out of, the Purchase Price.


  
 2.6 Section 116 Requirements 
  

	 	(a)	 	On or before Closing, BEIHL shall take all reasonable steps to obtain and deliver to AcquisitionCo a certificate issued by the CCRA under subsection 116(2) of the Tax Act.


  

	 	(b)	 	If a certificate is so delivered to AcquisitionCo, AcquisitionCo shall be entitled to withhold from the Closing Purchase Price Payment twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount, if any, by

satisfactory to AcquisitionCo, acting reasonably, AcquisitionCo shall: 
  

	 	(i)	 	in the case of a certificate issued by the CCRA under subsection 116(2) pay forthwith to the Receiver General twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount, if any, by which the Closing Purchase
Price Payment exceeds the certificate limit fixed in such certificate, and the amount so paid shall be credited to AcquisitionCo as payment, on account of the Purchase Price; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 	pay forthwith to BEIHL any amount that AcquisitionCo has withheld and is not required to pay to the Receiver General in accordance with subparagraph (i) above, and the amount so paid shall be
credited to AcquisitionCo as payment on account of the Purchase Price. 

  

	 	(e)	 	If AcquisitionCo has withheld any amount under the provisions of Sections 2.6 (b) or (c) and no certificate has been delivered to AcquisitionCo by BEIHL that is satisfactory to AcquisitionCo,
acting reasonably, after the Closing and within 28 days after the end of the month in which the Closing occurs and AcquisitionCo has not received a letter or other comfort from the CCRA acceptable to Acquisition Co acting reasonably (a
“Comfort Letter”) indicating that it need not remit any amounts under Section 116 of the Tax Act until the CCRA has completed its review of the application for a certificate, such amount shall be paid by AcquisitionCo to the
Receiver General on or prior to the 30th day after the end of the month in which the Closing occurs (the “Remittance Date”) on account of AcquisitionCo’s liability pursuant to subsection 116(5) of the Tax Act, and the amount so
paid shall be credited to AcquisitionCo as payment on account of the Purchase Price. If AcquisitionCo does not remit an amount on or prior to the Remittance Date because of the receipt by it of a Comfort Letter, AcquisitionCo may remit the withheld
amount if and when required to do so in accordance with the terms of such Comfort Letter and BE and BEIHL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless AcquisitionCo from any penalties that may be assessed by the Minister of National Revenue for the
failure to remit any Taxes or other amount due on or before the Remittance Date. 

  

	 	(f)	 	All amounts withheld by AcquisitionCo in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall be paid to and held by AcquisitionCo’s Counsel, in trust, and invested by them in such manner as BEIHL
shall from time to time direct in writing until paid to BEIHL or the Receiver General in accordance with this Section 2.6 and AcquisitionCo’s Counsel shall be entitled to withhold from interest earned on such amounts any and all amounts
required to be withheld and remitted from such 

  

 29 








 interest by any Applicable Law and to remit same to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

  

	 	(g)	 	If AcquisitionCo is required to make additional payments to BEIHL on account of the Purchase Price as a result of the Purchase Price being greater than the Closing Purchase Price Payment,
such additional payments shall be subject to the terms of this Section 2.6. 

  
 2.7 Compliance with Schedules 
  
 Each of the Parties shall comply in all
respects with the Schedules applicable to it, including in respect of any payments contemplated therein. 
  
 2.8 Accounts to be Approved by the DTI 
  
 For the avoidance
of doubt, any amounts payable to BE, BEIHL or any other Person Controlled by BE pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall only be paid into an account specified by the relevant Person and approved in writing by the DTI.

	 	(b)	 	approval of the BE Shareholders is required to complete the Transactions contemplated hereby and either: 

  

	 	(i)	 	such Transactions (or such part thereof as is required to be approved by the BE Shareholders) are rejected by the BE Shareholders; or

 63 









	 	(vii)	 	is provided to OPG or the Province of Ontario to the extent relevant in order to comply with the OPG Heads of Agreement; or

if available and shall restrict such disclosure to the extent necessary in order to comply with Applicable Law; 

  
 AcquisitionCo and the Investors shall: 
  

	 	(ix)	 	prior to the Closing, keep confidential all information disclosed to it by BE or its Subsidiaries (or their Representatives) relating to BECL, the BECL Subsidiaries, BPLP, BPI, HWI or HWLP;


  

	 	(x)	 	without temporal limitation, keep confidential all information disclosed to it by BE or its Subsidiaries (or their Representatives) prior to Closing relating to BE, its Subsidiaries, or any

required to be kept confidential hereunder, and shall continue to maintain the confidence of all such information. 
  

	 	(b)	 	After Closing, BE and BEIHL and their Subsidiaries shall keep confidential all information relating to BECL, the BECL Subsidiaries, BPI, BPLP, HWI, HWLP and the BPLP Business, except

the Shareholders’ Meeting excluding the Disclosure Letter unless otherwise required by Applicable Law including the United Kingdom Listing Authority; 

  

	 	(d)	 	Notwithstanding Section 6.12(a), the Parties shall have the right to make this Agreement, and any relevant facts relating to the Transactions contemplated hereby, available to the applicable

	 	(e)	 	Notwithstanding Section 6.12(b), BE and BEIHL shall have the right to disclose information in respect of BPLP and BPI to the Province of Ontario to the extent necessary under the OPG Heads of

 6.13 Public Statements 
  
 Prior to Closing, no Party shall issue or make any public announcement or press release (a
“Public Announcement”) with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Investors and BEIHL, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as may
be required by Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority; but the Parties may make statements or other public disclosure without such prior written consent that is consistent with Public Announcements to which such consent has previously been
obtained. If such disclosure is required by Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority, the Party required to make such disclosure shall, if practicable, provide prior notice to the other Parties of such requirement, the nature thereof, and the
nature of the proposed disclosure, and shall limit the scope of such disclosure to the extent necessary to comply with such requirement. 
  
 6.14 Consents, Approvals and Waivers 
  
 Each of BEIHL, the Investors and AcquisitionCo shall have the right to review in advance information which appears in any application, notice, petition or filing made seeking
Consents, Approvals and Waivers required in connection with the Transactions contemplated hereby. For greater certainty, neither BEIHL, the Investors nor AcquisitionCo shall make or file such an application, notice, petition or filing in connection
with the Transactions contemplated hereby 

  

 65 








 
without first providing such application, notice, petition or filing to the other party and the other party a reasonable opportunity to provide any comments it may
have in respect thereof. 
  
 6.15 Pre-Closing Transaction Request 
  
 Prior to Closing, AcquisitionCo may request that BECL amalgamate with one or more of the BECL
Subsidiaries or that one or more of the BECL Subsidiaries be wound up into BECL or amalgamate with each other. BEIHL shall cause such amalgamation or amalgamations or winding-up or windings-up to occur prior to Closing, provided that in the opinion
of BEIHL, acting reasonably, such transaction or transactions do not, individually or in the aggregate, result in adverse Tax or other consequences to BE or its Affiliates and are not otherwise inconsistent with the Authorized Pre-Closing
Transactions. 
  
 6.16 Capital Contributions 
  
 Prior to Closing BE and BEIHL shall cause BPII to fund its proportionate share (85%) of Capital
Contributions to BPLP in accordance with the BPLP Business Plan. 
  
 6.17 Removal of
Liabilities 
  
 BE and BEIHL covenant that prior to or concurrent with Closing:

  

	 	(a)	 	BE shall remove or discharge all liabilities (existing or future, accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) and obligations which BECL, the BECL Subsidiaries, BPI (other than liabilities
solely as the general partner of BPLP) and HWI (other than liabilities solely as the general partner of HWLP) may have, other than the Intercompany Debt that reduces the Purchase Price and the BECL Group Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities; and


  

	 	(b)	 	BECL will not own, directly or indirectly, any interest in, and none of BECL, the BECL Subsidiaries, BPI or BPLP will have any liability to, or relating to, the Dormant Entities and BECL will
have distributed to BEIHL (or any other entity that is not a Subsidiary entity of BECL), any assets acquired by BECL or any of its Subsidiaries in exchange for any assets transferred by the Dormant Entities as part of the Authorized Pre-Closing
Transactions; 

  
 so that the Investors will not suffer any loss or detriment
as a result of AcquisitionCo acquiring the Purchased Shares rather than directly acquiring shares of BPI and HWI and limited partnership interests in BPLP and HWLP (a “Direct Acquisition”). 
  
  

 66 








 6.18 Prior to Closing 
  
 BE and BEIHL shall use all commercially reasonable efforts in its capacity as an indirect shareholder of BPI and indirect limited partner of BPLP (and subject to any restrictions
imposed in the Bruce Power LPA and BPI Shareholder Agreement) to cause the BPLP Business to be operated in the Normal Course of Business. BE and BEIHL represent and warrant that from the Master Heads Date until the date of this Agreement the BPLP
Business has been conducted in the Normal Course of Business. 
  
 6.19 Pre-Closing Ruling
Condition 
  
 If there are adverse tax consequences in connection with the matters
contemplated in Sections 6.5(b)(i) and (ii), and BEIHL wishes the Investors to complete the Transactions contemplated hereby without satisfaction of the conditions in Section 8.1(i), the Investors agree to consider whether a proposal by BEIHL to
complete the Transactions contemplated hereby without satisfaction of such condition can be carried out (a) at no cost to BECL or to BECL Subsidiaries, BPI, HWI, AcquisitionCo or the Investors or their Affiliates beyond that for which BE and BEIHL
shall agree to provide compensation at Closing by a reduction in the Closing Purchase Price Payment and (b) at no further risk to BECL, the BECL Subsidiaries, BPI, HWI, AcquisitionCo or the Investors or their Affiliates that the cost could exceed
the amount of such reduction, provided that the Investors shall have no obligation to agree to any such proposal. 
  
 6.20 Direct Acquisition 
  
 Despite any other provision of this Agreement, if BE and BEIHL determine that carrying out a sale of the Purchased Shares as contemplated hereby is no longer more financially advantageous to them than a Direct Acquisition and,
subject to their reimbursing the Investors for all associated costs of any kind which the Investors have incurred, BE and BEIHL may elect, by notice in writing not later than 10 Business Days before Closing, to require the Investors to complete the
Transactions contemplated hereby through a Direct Acquisition on the same terms and conditions set out herein subject to such amendments as are appropriate to reflect a Direct Acquisition. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 
 POST CLOSING COVENANTS 
  
 7.1 Tax
Matters 
  

	 	(a)	 	 The Investors and/or AcquisitionCo shall make or prepare, or shall cause to be made or prepared, all Tax Returns required to be made or prepared by BECL, BPI, BPLP and any
BECL Subsidiary for any period which ends on or before Closing or which begins before Closing and ends after Closing and to duly and 



  

 67 









	 	 
timely file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by BECL, BPI, BPLP and any BECL Subsidiary, for any period which ends on or before Closing or
which begins before Closing and ends after Closing, to the extent such Tax Returns have not been made, prepared or filed, as the case may be, before Closing. The Investors and/or AcquisitionCo may cause BECL, BPI and any BECL Subsidiary to make the
election referred to in subsection 256(9) of the Tax Act, and any comparable provisions of applicable provincial legislation, and to file such election(s) for the respective taxation years of BECL, BPI and a BECL Subsidiary, as the case may be,
ending immediately before the Effective Time. 


  

	 	(b)	 	Subject to the provisions of Article 9, each of the Investors and BEIHL shall provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by the other in connection with the
preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any proceedings by a Governmental Authority relating to liability for Taxes of BEIHL, BECL, any BECL Subsidiary, BPI, BPLP, HWI or HWLP and, until the
expiration of the applicable limitation period in respect of such liability for Taxes, each will retain and provide the requesting party with any records or information which may be relevant to such return, audit or examination, proceedings or
determination and each will provide the requesting party with such records or information. Subject to the provisions of Article 9 any information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.1 or pursuant to any other Section of this Agreement providing for
the sharing of information in or review of any Tax Return or other schedule relating to Taxes shall be kept confidential by the Parties. 

  

	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding Section 7.1(a), the Parties shall cooperate in regard to the preparation of the Tax Returns of BECL, BPI, BECII and BPII pertaining to the fiscal periods ending on or before
Closing and which have not been filed prior to the date hereof, which Tax Returns of BPI and BPII will include income reported on the partnership information returns of BPLP pertaining to fiscal periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2002). In
calculating the income of BECL, BPI, BPII, BECII and BPLP, all reasonable deductions from income shall be taken in connection with such Tax Returns. BE shall have the opportunity to review and suggest revisions to the Tax filing positions adopted in
this respect and the Investors and AcquisitionCo, as the case may be, will implement such suggested revisions to the extent they are reasonable and consistent with the principles of this Section 7.1 and Schedule D. 

  

	 	(d)	 	 In the event that the Parties, acting reasonably, are unable to agree, on or before the date (the “Six Month Date”) that is six months after Closing, on the
amount of the Second Revised Estimated Tax Liability (as defined in Schedule D), the 



  

 68 









	 	 
Second Revised Estimated Tax Liability will be deemed to be the higher amount of the two amounts estimated by the Parties and all relevant Tax Returns will be filed
and all releases from, and contributions to, the Tax Liability Holdback Account on or after the Six Month Date will be determined, based on such deemed amount. In such event, the Investors and AcquisitionCo shall notify BE and BEIHL in writing of
the receipt of any assessment or reassessment of Taxes or determination or redetermination of income (an “Assessment”) that relates to the BECL Group Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities within 30 days of the receipt of such Assessment.
Within 30 days of the receipt of such notice, BE and BEIHL shall advise the Investors whether they wish to contest such Assessment, and if they do, the Investors and AcquisitionCo shall take all necessary steps, at the expense of BE and BEIHL, to
initiate a contest of such Assessment. The Investors and AcquisitionCo, on the one hand, and BE and BEIHL, on the other hand, shall assume jointly the contest of such Assessment and shall act reasonably in connection with the contest and management
of such contest. If the Investors and AcquisitionCo do not give BE and BEIHL notice of an Assessment as required herein, to the extent that such failure has prejudiced the ability of BE and BEIHL to contest the Assessment, then the BE Group
Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities shall be determined for all purposes of this Agreement as if BE and BEIHL had been successful in contesting the Assessment. 


  

	 	(e)	 	To the extent AcquisitionCo, BECL or its Subsidiaries receives a refund or recovery of Taxes that were included in determining the BECL Group Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities as agreed to by the
Parties on or before the Six Month Date or as deemed pursuant to Section 7.1(d) such that the BECL Group Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities are less than that agreed to by the Parties or deemed pursuant to Section 7.1(d), the amount of such refund or
recovery shall be paid to BEIHL as soon as reasonably practicable. 

  
 7.2
Non-Competition 
  
 Subject to Section 7.6, neither BE nor any of its Affiliates shall,
for a period of two years following Closing, become involved in nuclear electric power operations in Canada. For greater certainty, management consulting services of the kind conducted in Canada by BE or its Affiliates as of the Master Heads Date
(which for greater certainty do not and will not include any management services) will not be regarded as a breach of this Section 7.2. 
  
 7.3 Non-Solicitation - Employees 
  
 For a period of two years following Closing, neither BE nor any of its Affiliates shall solicit any of BPI’s or BPLP’s existing employees as at the Master Heads Date. 
  
  

 69 








 7.4 Remedies for Breach 
  
 Notwithstanding Section 11.5, AcquisitionCo and the Investors shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any breach by BE
or any of its Affiliates of its obligations under Sections 6.4, 7.2 or 7.3. 
  
 7.5
Change of Name 
  
 Not later than ten Business Days after Closing, the Investors shall
ensure that none of BECL or any BECL Subsidiary continues to use the name “British Energy” or any name similar thereto or derived therefrom. 
  
 7.6 Post-Closing Support Services 
  
 BE agrees to provide support services as requested from time to time by BPLP to support the plant operations of the Bruce Nuclear Power Facility for a period of four years after Closing on terms to be agreed between BE and
BPLP, acting reasonably. 
  
 7.7 Financial Statements of BPLP 
  

	 	(a)	 	After Closing, the Investors shall, at the expense of BE and without liability to any of the Investors, BECL, BECL Subsidiaries, BPI or BPLP or their respective directors, officers and
partners, cause financial statements of BPLP to be prepared using both Canadian and United Kingdom generally accepted accounting principles, for the period to the Closing Date. Such financial statements shall be prepared using the accounting
policies which were applicable as at the Closing Date and shall be made available as soon as practicable following the Closing Date. The level of supporting detail provided shall be sufficient to allow BE to make the necessary financial disclosures
in its annual report. 

  

	 	(b)	 	Such financial statements shall be audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, at the expense of BE, and the Investors shall permit PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC to provide the results of their audit
to the directors of BEIHL. 

  

	 	(c)	 	After Closing, the Investors shall, upon reasonable notice from BE and subject to compliance with all applicable confidentiality agreements and restrictions, provide BEIHL or its
Representatives with reasonable access to all management, books, records and other information relating to BPLP, BECL and its Subsidiaries and their respective investments and businesses, including information required in connection with completion
of the audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC.

 ARTICLE 9 
 INDEMNIFICATION

  
 9.1 Indemnification 
  

	 	(a)	 	BE and BEIHL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless AcquisitionCo, the Investors and their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders,
trustees and agents (each, an “Investors Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, obligations, assessments, reassessments, charges, payments, costs and expenses and accrued
interest thereon (including the costs and expenses of, and accrued interest in respect of, any and all actions, suits, proceedings, assessments, judgments, settlements and compromises relating thereto and reasonable lawyers’ and other
professionals’ and experts’ fees and reasonable disbursements in connection therewith) (each, an “Indemnifiable Loss”), asserted against or suffered by any Investors Indemnitee relating to, in connection with or resulting
from: 

  

	 	(i)	 	or arising out of any breach by BE and/or BEIHL of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or incorrectness in any certificate furnished by BE or BEIHL pursuant to
Sections 3.2(e), 8.1(d) or 8.1(e); 

  

	 	(ii)	 	or arising out of any breach by BE and/or BEIHL of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; 

  

 77 









	 	(iii)	 	or arising out of any adverse tax consequences to BECL or any of its Subsidiaries, AcquisitionCo, the Investors, or any of their respective Affiliates, suffered by any of them as a result of
any Post-Closing Reorganization or any failure of the Investors’ Tax Rulings to apply, in each case to the extent that such adverse tax consequences resulted from any misstatement of fact by BE and/or BEIHL, or any omission by BE and/or BEIHL
to state a relevant fact in regards to BE or its Subsidiaries, BPLP or HWLP, including any such misstatement or omission relating to any Pre-Closing Transaction, all as further described in Schedule D; 

  

	 	(iv)	 	or in respect of the BECL Group Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities and the Transactions Differential Adjustment Amount. 

  

	 	(b)	 	It is the intention of BE and BEIHL to constitute the Investors as trustee for the Investors Indemnitees that are not party to this Agreement of the covenants of BE and BEIHL in this Section
9.1 and the Investors severally agree to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of their respective Investors Indemnitees. 

  

	 	(c)	 	Subject to Section 11.1, the Investors and AcquisitionCo shall severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless BE and BEIHL and their respective Affiliates (other than BECL and its
subsidiaries, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, general partners, limited partners, members, employees, shareholders, and agents (each, a “BEIHL Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable
Losses asserted against or suffered by any BEIHL Indemnitee relating to, in connection with, resulting from or arising out of any breach by the Investors of any representations and warranties or covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.
It is the intention of the Investors to constitute BEIHL as trustee for the BEIHL Indemnitees that are not party to this Agreement of the covenants of the Investors in this Article 9 and BEIHL agrees to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such
covenants on behalf of such BEIHL Indemnitees. 

  

	 	(d)	 	The expiration or termination of any representation and warranty shall not affect the Parties’ obligations under this Article 9 if the Indemnitee provided the Person required to provide
indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) with proper notice of the claim or event for which indemnification is sought prior to such expiration or termination. For greater certainty, any claim for
indemnification under Article 9 arising as a result of a breach of a representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall be made not later than the date on which, pursuant to Section 11.6, such representation or warranty terminated.


  

 78 









	 	(e)	 	BE’s and BEIHL’s obligations under this Article 9 shall be limited as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	 	neither AcquisitionCo nor the Investors shall be entitled to claim in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss under Section 9.1(a)(i) until the time that the aggregate amount of all Indemnifiable
Losses under Section 9.1(a)(i) exceeds $20,000,000 (for greater certainty, once such threshold is reached, AcquisitionCo and the Investors shall be entitled to claim for all Indemnifiable Losses except as otherwise expressly provided for herein),
provided that there shall be no such threshold in respect of Indemnifiable Losses relating to : 

  

	 	(A)	 	representations and warranties relating to Taxes; 

  

	 	(B)	 	representations and warranties as to title to the Purchased Shares, the shares of BPI or BPII or the interests of BPI and BPII in BPLP; or 

  

	 	(C)	 	any representations relating to intercorporate liabilities or obligations between BE and its Affiliates and Associates, BPI and BPLP; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	the amount of an Indemnifiable Loss shall be reduced to the extent that the Loss upon which it is based has been taken into account in reducing the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2(c)
hereunder, in which case the amount of any such Indemnifiable Loss shall not be included in the calculation of the $20,000,000 threshold referred to in Section 9.1(e)(i) above; 

  

	 	(iii)	 	to the extent no threshold applies in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss, the amount of any such Indemnifiable Loss shall not be included in the calculation of the $20,000,000 threshold
referred to above in Section 9.1(e)(i); 

  

	 	(iv)	 	no Investor shall be entitled to claim in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss in Section 9.1(a)(i) to the extent that such Investor, or any Person through which it holds or has held a direct or
indirect interest in BPLP or HWLP, had knowledge prior to the Master Heads Date of the event or circumstance or specific matter that resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss; 

  

	 	(f)	 	for greater certainty, all Indemnifiable Losses will be calculated without duplication; 

  

 79 









	 	(g)	 	for the purposes of effecting Section 9.1(e)(iv), all Indemnifiable Losses of AcquisitionCo shall be deemed to be Indemnifiable Losses of the Investors in accordance with their pro rata
number of Purchased Shares in the percentages set out in Section 11.1(a); 

  

	 	(h)	 	to the extent that BPLP has a right to pursue OPG pursuant to the Amended and Restated OPG Master Agreement between OPG, BPLP and BE dated as of May 11, 2001 as amended by an agreement dated
September 11, 2002 (the “2001 Master Agreement”) or the OPG Lease in respect of a claim involving the same matter as the claim (the “Investors’ Claim”) for indemnification under this Agreement:


  

	 	(i)	 	the Investors and AcquisitionCo may pursue their legal rights under this Agreement or otherwise and obtain any payment owing to them in the ordinary course; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	the Investors and AcquisitionCo shall, in good faith, cause BPI and BPLP to pursue their claim against OPG in respect of such claim (a “BPLP Claim”);


  

	 	(iii)	 	if BPLP receives a payment from OPG for a BPLP Claim (the “BPLP Recovery”) at the same time or prior to when the Investors or AcquisitionCo receive a payment from BE or BEIHL
in connection with an Indemnifiable Loss, the amount receivable by the Investors from BE or BEIHL shall not exceed the difference between the Indemnifiable Loss and the amount of the BPLP Recovery; and 

  

	 	(iv)	 	if BPLP receives a BPLP Recovery after the Investor(s) receive a payment from BE or BEIHL in connection with an Indemnifiable Loss, the Investor(s) shall pay to BE or BEIHL, as the case may
be, an amount equal to the difference between (a) the sum of the BPLP Recovery and the payment from BE or BEIHL and (b) the Indemnifiable Loss; 

  

provided that, for greater certainty, the obligations for BE and BEIHL to indemnify AcquisitionCo or the Investors hereunder shall not be reduced by any failure
or negligence in the prosecution by BPLP, BPI, AcquisitionCo or the Investors of any claim against OPG pursuant to the 2001 Master Agreement or the OPG Lease provided that AcquisitionCo and the Investors have acted in good faith. 
  

	 	(i)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: 

  

 80 









	 	(i)	 	no Party (including a non-party Indemnitee) shall be entitled to recover hereunder any amount in excess of the actual compensatory damages, court costs and reasonable lawyers’ and other
professional and expert fees and other expenses suffered by such Party; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 	each Party waives any right to recover punitive, special and consequential damages arising in connection with or with respect to this Agreement. 

  
 The provisions of this Section 9.1(g) shall not apply to indemnification for a Third
Party Claim. 
  
 The Parties agree that, from and after Closing, Article 9 sets out the sole
and exclusive manner by which the Parties may seek compensation or other monetary relief hereunder for any breach of representation, warranty or covenant, and is in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies which any Party may have, for any
matter in respect of which it may make a claim on account of an Indemnifiable Loss. 
  

	9.2	 	Defence of Claims 

  

	 	(a)	 	If any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any claim, action or proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not an Indemnitee (including,
for greater certainty, any requirement of a Governmental Authority to complete any Remediation or Nuclear Remediation) (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which indemnification is to be sought from an Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event such notice shall not be given later than 20 calendar days after the Indemnitee’s receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim. Such notice
shall describe the nature of the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount or, if the amount is not then determinable, an appropriate and reasonable estimate of the potential amount of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been
or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in or, by giving written notice to the Indemnitee, to elect to assume the defence of any Third Party Claim at such Indemnifying Party’s expense and
by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, provided, however, that: 

  

	 	(i)	 	counsel for the Indemnifying Party shall conduct the defence of such Third Party Claim in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	 if the defendants to the Third Party Claim include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defences available to it which are 



  

 81 









	 	    	 	different from, additional to or inconsistent with those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defence of
the Third Party Claim and the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be considered Indemnifiable Losses for the purpose of this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 	if BE or BEIHL is the Indemnifying Party, it may only assume the defence of a Third Party Claim if it has provided in form and substance satisfactory to the Investors, acting reasonably, a
letter of credit, cash collateral or other form of financial assurance in an amount sufficient to fund any anticipated Indemnifiable Loss in connection with such Third Party Claim. 

  

	 	    	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2(a), where BE or BEIHL is the Indemnifying Party in respect of a Third Party Claim relating to Taxes, the Indemnifying Party will have the right
to participate in or, by giving written notice to the Indemnitee, to elect to assume jointly with the Indemnitee the defence of such a Third Party Claim relating to Taxes and both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall act reasonably in
connection with the conduct and management of such defence. The provisions of Section 9.2(a) shall otherwise apply mutatis mutandis. 

  

	 	(b)	 	If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defence in accordance with this Section 9.2 the Indemnitee shall co-operate in good faith in such defence at such Indemnitee’s own expense. If an
Indemnifying Party elects not to assume control of the defence of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume such control and may compromise or settle such Third Party Claim (in any matter that it determines appropriate,
acting reasonably), over the objection of the Indemnifying Party, which settlement or compromise shall conclusively establish the Indemnifying Party’s liability pursuant to this Agreement and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results
obtained by the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim. 

  

	 	(c)	 	 If, within 20 calendar days after an Indemnitee provides written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any Third Party Claims, the Indemnitee receives written notice from the
Indemnifying Party that such Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defence of such Third Party Claim as provided in Section 9.2(a), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in
connection with the defence thereof except as expressly provided in Section 9.2(a), provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within 20 calendar days after
receiving notice from the Indemnitee that the 



  

 82 









	 	 
Indemnitee believes the Indemnifying Party has failed to take such steps, the Indemnitee may assume its own defence and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all
reasonable expenses thereof. 


  

	 	(d)	 	Without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim which would lead to liability or create any financial
or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, provided that BE and BEIHL shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without having made
arrangements satisfactory to the Investors, acting reasonably, to fund such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim or conduct any legal or administrative proceeding in a manner which would, in the opinion of the
Indemnitee, acting reasonably, have a material adverse impact on the Indemnitee. If a final offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim and the offer creates no liability or financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee for which the
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, and in the case of BE and BEIHL, BE and BEIHL have made arrangements satisfactory to the Investors, acting
reasonably, to fund such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnitee to that effect. If the Indemnitee fails to consent to such final offer within 20 calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying
Party shall be relieved of its obligations to defend such Third Party Claim and the Indemnitee may contest or defend such Third Party Claim. In such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim will be the
amount of such settlement offer plus reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Indemnitee up to the date of such notice. 

  

	 	(e)	 	If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnitee is required by Applicable Law to make a payment to any Person (a “Third Party” for the purposes of this
Section 9.2(e)) with respect to such Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnitee may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnitee,
reimburse the Indemnitee for any such payment. If the amount of any liability under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the
Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay such difference to the Indemnifying Party. 

  

 83 









	 	(f)	 	Except in the circumstances contemplated by Section 9.2(b) or as expressly provided in Section 9.2(e), and whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement
or defence of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided the
foregoing shall not apply if the Indemnifying Party is BE or BEIHL and BE and/or BEIHL has not assumed the defence of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.2(a). 

  

	 	(g)	 	The Indemnitee shall not permit any right of appeal in respect of any Third Party Claim to terminate without giving the Indemnifying Party notice thereof and an opportunity to contest such
Third Party Claim, provided if the Indemnifying Party is BE or BEIHL, such appeal shall be at no risk or cost to the Investors or BPLP. 

  

	 	(h)	 	The Parties shall co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant
documentation promptly as it becomes available) and shall each designate a senior officer who will keep himself informed about and be prepared to discuss the Third Party Claim with his counterparts and with counsel at all reasonable times.


  

	 	(i)	 	Any claim by an Indemnitee on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying
Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, stating the nature and factual basis of the Claim in reasonable detail and indicating the amount, or if the amount is not then determinable, an approximate and reasonable estimate of the potential
amount of the Direct Claim, but in any event such notice shall not be given later than 20 calendar days after the Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 20 calendar days within which to
investigate and respond to such Direct Claim. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnitee to substantiate the Direct Claim. If the Indemnitee and
the Indemnifying Party agree, at or prior to the expiration of such 20 calendar day period, to the validity and amount of the Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnitee the full agreed upon amount of the Direct
Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 20 calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted the Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party rejects such Direct Claim, the Indemnitee will be free to seek
enforcement of its right to indemnification under this Agreement and shall be entitled to submit the Dispute to the Dispute arbitration procedure referred to in Section 11.5. 

  

 84 









	 	(j)	 	If the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to
any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by, from or against any other entity, the amount of such reduction, together with any interest earned on such amount, if applicable, less any deductibles, costs or
expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. 

  

	 	(k)	 	A failure to give timely notice as provided in this Section 9.2 shall not affect the rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement except if, and only to the extent that, as a
result of such failure, the party which was entitled to receive such notice was actually prejudiced. 

  
 9.3 Adjustment for Income Taxes 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9: 
  

	 	(a)	 	If the incurring of an Indemnifiable Loss (the “Indemnifiable Loss Amount”) by the Indemnitee constitutes an outlay or expense that is deductible in whole or in part in
computing the income of the Indemnitee for income tax purposes, then the amount payable by the Indemnifying Party under this Article 9 (the “Indemnity Payment”) shall be adjusted in accordance with the following rules:


  

	 	(i)	 	if the Indemnity Payment and the amount, if any, of (A) a BPLP Recovery in respect of the Indemnifiable Loss (the “Relevant BPLP Recovery Amount”), (B) a reimbursement
payment made by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9.2(d) (the “Relevant Reimbursement Payment”), and (C) a recovery, settlement or other payment described in Section 9.2(j) that is received by the
Indemnitee in respect of the Indemnifiable Loss (the “Relevant Insurance Recovery Amount”) are, in aggregate, required to be included in computing the income of the Indemnitee for income tax purposes to the same extent that the
Indemnifiable Loss Amount is deductible in computing the income of the Indemnitee, then no adjustment shall be required to be made to the Indemnity Payment; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	if none of the Indemnity Payment nor the Relevant BPLP Recovery Amount, the Relevant Reimbursement Payment or the Relevant Insurance Recovery Amount is required to be included in computing
the income of the Indemnitee for income tax purposes or if the Indemnity Payment together with the Relevant BPLP Recovery Amount (the Relevant Reimbursement Payment and the Relevant Insurance Recovery Amount 

  

 85 









	 	    	 	are, in aggregate, required to be included in computing such income) to a lesser extent than the Indemnifiable Loss Amount is deductible in computing the income of the Indemnitee, then the
Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the benefit available to the Indemnitee resulting from the deduction in computing income; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 	if the Indemnity Payment together with the Relevant BPLP Recovery Amount, the Relevant Reimbursement Payment and the Relevant Insurance Recovery Amount are, in aggregate, required to be
included in computing the income of the Indemnitee for income tax purposes to a greater extent than the Indemnifiable Loss Amount is deductible in computing the income of the Indemnitee, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnitee an
additional amount such that the total net amount received by the Indemnitee (including, for greater certainty, the Relevant BPLP Recovery Amount, the Relevant Reimbursement Payment and the Relevant Insurance Recovery Amount), after deducting the
amount of income taxes payable by the Indemnitee on such total amount, calculated without regard to any deductions, offsets, credits or other benefits available to and claimed or deducted by the Indemnitee in computing its income, taxable income or
tax, equals the net cost to the Indemnitee of the Indemnifiable Loss Amount. 

  

	 	(b)	 	If an Indemnifiable Loss Amount does not constitute an outlay or expense that is deductible in whole or in part in computing the income of the Indemnitee for income tax purposes, then the
Indemnity Payment shall be adjusted in accordance with the following rules: 

  

	 	(i)	 	if none of the Indemnity Payment, the Relevant BPLP Recovery Amount, the Relevant Reimbursement Payment or the Relevant Insurance Recovery Amount is required to be included in computing the
income of the Indemnitee for income tax purposes, then no adjustment shall be required to be made to the Indemnity Payment; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 	if all or part of the Indemnity Payment, the Relevant BPLP Recovery Amount, the Relevant Reimbursement Payment or the Relevant Insurance Recovery Amount is required to be included in
computing the income of the Indemnitee for income tax purposes, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnitee such additional amounts such that the total net amount received by the Indemnitee (including, for greater certainty, the Relevant
BPLP Recovery Amount, the Relevant Reimbursement and the Relevant Insurance Recovery Amount), after deducting the amount of income taxes payable by the Indemnitee on such total amount, calculated 

  

 86 









	 	 
without regard to any deductions, offsets, credits or other benefits available to and claimed or deducted by the Indemnitee in computing its income, taxable income or
tax, equals the net cost to the Indemnitee of the Indemnifiable Loss Amount. 


  
 ARTICLE 10 
 TERMINATION 
  
 10.1 Termination 
  

	 	(a)	 	This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by mutual written consent of the Parties. 

  

	 	(b)	 	This Agreement may be terminated by either BE or BEIHL or by any of the Investors, if: 

  

	 	(i)	 	an injunction, order, judgment or decree permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the purchase of Purchased Shares by the Investors, or the consummation of the other
transactions contemplated under this Agreement shall have been issued by a Governmental Authority, and such injunction, order, judgment or decree shall have become final and non-appealable; 

  

	 	(ii)	 	any Applicable Law shall have been enacted by a Governmental Authority which, directly or indirectly, prohibits the purchase of the Purchased Shares by the Investors, or the consummation of
the other Transactions contemplated hereby; or 

  

	 	(iii)	 	the Closing contemplated by this Agreement shall have not occurred on or before February 14, 2003; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section
10.1(b)(iii) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfil any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date. 

  

	 	(c)	 	This Agreement may be terminated by any of the Investors or by BE or BEIHL if the Value of any Material Adverse Change prior to Closing, individually or in the aggregate, is greater than
$350,000,000. 

  

 87 








 10.2 Procedure and Effect of Termination
