not within the range of “market fees” (factoring in the proposed scope).

to be provided is not reasonable or that the proposed fees payable in respect of such New Related Party Contract are not within
the range of “market fees” (factoring in the proposed scope).



 


		(d)	If PSP does not object to the New Related Party Contract prior to the expiration of the thirty
(30) day notice period provided for in clause (b), above, or if the independent third party expert, referred to in clause (c),

		(2)	The process set forth in Section 2.8(1), including the rights of PSP thereunder, shall apply only
for so long as PSP holds a Unit Interest of at least 25% (or a permitted transferee of such rights from PSP in compliance with

the Corporation may on behalf of itself or on behalf of the Partnership, or Subsidiaries of the Corporation or the Partnership,

		(b)	to any other Person pursuant to, and in compliance with, Section 6.6.



 


		6.4	Permitted Transfers to Controlled Affiliates



 


		(1)	Notwithstanding Section 6.1 but subject to Section 6.2 and Section 6.9, a Shareholder who
is not then in default of its obligations under this Agreement will be entitled to Transfer to a Controlled Affiliate, without
complying with Section 6.6, title to all or part of its Shares to one of its Controlled Affiliates, provided that:



 


		(a)	the Transferor first establishes to the satisfaction of the other Shareholders, acting reasonably,

		6.5	Restrictions on Transfer



 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Article 6 and any requirement or prohibition of any lender under the Project Financing, no Shareholder
shall be entitled to Transfer any Shares pursuant to this Article 6 or if such Transfer would breach any term of or cause
a default under the Power Purchase Agreement, unless such Transfer is permitted


 




     


    	- 24 -

 

    

thereunder if a consent
or approval is first obtained and such consent or approval is so obtained. In addition, PSP may not Transfer any Shares, at any
time, to a Competitor.


 


		6.6	Transfer of Units by PSP or Pattern



 


		(1)	Reference is made to Section 8.5 of the Partnership Agreement (the “ROFO Provision”),
Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement (the “Tag Provision”) and Section 8.7 of the Partnership Agreement
(the “Drag Provision”). Subject to the following sentences of this Section 6.6, if a Shareholder or its Affiliate
holding Units is transferring Units pursuant to the ROFO Provision, Tag Provision or Drag Provision, as applicable, or any other
transfer other than to a Controlled Affiliate, the Shareholder must also transfer a number of Shares held by such Shareholder to
the applicable Transferee such that the Share Interest held by the Transferee equals the Unit Interest held by the Transferee or
its Affiliate. The Transfer or issuance of any Shares hereunder will be made at a purchase price per Share equal to the Original
Per Share Consideration (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any share split, combination or other similar recapitalization
with respect to the shares in the capital of the Corporation). The parties acknowledge that for regulatory reasons, PSP has determined
to hold a maximum Share Interest equal to 30% unless and until it holds 100% of the Shares, resulting in its Share Interest being
lower than the Unit Interest held by PSP or its Affiliate until such time, and resulting in the Share Interest held by Pattern
being higher than the Unit Interest held by Pattern or its Affiliate until such time. At any time where the Share Interest of PSP
is lower than the Unit Interest of PSP or its Affiliate, “Excess Shares” means the number of Shares held by
Pattern which if transferred by Pattern to PSP would equalize the Share Interest and Unit Interest of PSP and its Affiliate holding
Units. With respect to Transfers or issuances of Shares in accordance with this Agreement, the following shall apply:



 


		(a)	in connection with transfers of Units by PSP or its Affiliate, PSP may require that Pattern transfer
any or all of the Excess Shares held by Pattern to the transferee of such Units;



 


		(b)	where PSP would at any time be issued or transferred Shares resulting in a Share Interest greater
than 30% but lower than 100%, PSP may elect to have Pattern hold all Excess Shares; and



 


		(c)	where any Units are issued that would alter the relative Unit Interests as between the Pattern
or its Affiliate (on the one hand) and PSP or its Affiliate (on the other hand), the Corporation shall issue a number of Shares
to Pattern or PSP as applicable to ensure (subject to (b) above) that the Share Interest held by such Party is equal to the Unit
Interest held by such Party or its Affiliate.



 


		6.7	Release of Transferring Shareholder



 


Subject (for certainty)
to Section 6.4(1)(e), if a Shareholder Transfers, in accordance with this Agreement, all of its Shares, the transferring Shareholder
will thereupon have no further funding obligations under this Agreement, provided that such transferring Shareholder will remain
responsible for any and all of its debts and liabilities, and other obligations under this Agreement arising prior to the time
of such Transfer. For avoidance of doubt, the confidentiality obligations of Article 9 shall survive the Transfer by a Shareholder
of any or all of its Shares.


 




     


    	- 25 -

 

    

		6.8	Pledge of Shares



 


Except as required
pursuant to the terms of any Project Financing that is approved by the Board, no Shareholder will be permitted to Transfer any
of its Shares by way of an Encumbrance to any other Person or otherwise grant a lien on any of its Shares without the prior written
consent of all other Shareholders, which consent may be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld; provided, however, that any collateral
assignment to any lender(s) or agent on behalf of such lender(s) of any direct or indirect interest in a Shareholder (an “Upstream
Pledge”), or any foreclosure of such collateral assignment by such lender(s) or such agent (an “Upstream Realization”)
and subsequent disposition of such direct or indirect interest in a Shareholder shall be permitted so long as (a) such lender is
financial institution with experience in the renewables sector, (b) any subsequent disposition, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance,
gift, exchange or other disposition by such lender or agent of its direct or indirect interest in a Shareholder is to a Qualified
Transferee and (c) such subsequent disposition, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, gift, exchange or other disposition by
such lender or agent of such indirect interest in a general partner or direct or indirect interest in a Shareholder complies with
the transfer restrictions hereunder including Article 6.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, any Shareholder may pledge or otherwise grant a security interest in any of its Shares in connection
with any Project Financing being provided to the Partnership. Transfers of such Shares to a secured party or any subsequent transferee
in connection with any such financing are permitted.


 


		6.9	Conditions to Admission



 


As conditions to the
admission of a Transferee of a Shareholder as a substituted shareholder, any such Person will:


 


		(a)	execute and acknowledge such instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the other Shareholder,
as the other Shareholder will deem necessary or desirable to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of the Person
being admitted as a substitute shareholder to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to continue the
Corporation without its dissolution or termination under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, or for any other reason;
and



 


		(b)	pay all reasonable expenses in connection with such admission, including the cost of preparing
and filing of all necessary notices or amending declarations in any jurisdiction.



 


		6.10	Indirect Transfers



 


		(1)	A Transfer of the units or other equity interest in a Shareholder or in any Person that directly
or indirectly holds units or other equity interests in such Shareholder (other than an Upstream Pledge or Upstream Realization
or as permitted pursuant to Section 6.10(2)) shall not constitute a Transfer by the Shareholder of its Shares provided that (a)
where the Shareholder is Pattern, that after such Transfer, PEGI continues to ultimately Control Pattern (or its Permitted Transferee),
and (b) where the Shareholder is PSP, that after



 




     


    	- 26 -

 

    

such Transfer,
Public Sector Pension Investment Board continues to ultimately Control PSP (or its Permitted Transferee).


 


		(2)	For certainty, a Transfer of the units or other equity interests in PEGI or Public Sector Pension
Investment Board or their respective direct and indirect owners shall not constitute a Transfer for purposes of this Agreement.

Article 9

CONFIDENTIALITY


 


		9.1	Confidentiality



 


		(1)	Subject to the provisions of this ‎Section 9.1, each Shareholder shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates and its and their Representatives to, keep confidential all information, documentation and records obtained from the
Corporation, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives as well as any information arising out of any Shareholder’s
access to the books and records of the Corporation, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Confidential
Information”); provided that except as set forth in ‎Section 9.1(2), nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit any
Partner from disclosing Confidential Information to its Representatives, in each case who first are instructed to maintain Confidential
Information confidential on substantially similar terms as those contained in this ‎Section 9.1(1); provided, further, that
such Partner shall be liable for any breach of this ‎Section 9.1 by any such Person as if such Partner had itself committed
such breach. “Confidential Information” shall not include: (1) public information or information in the public
domain at the time of its receipt by PSP or its Representatives; (2) information which becomes public through no fault or act of
PSP or its Representatives; or (3) information received by PSP or its Affiliates in good faith from a third party lawfully in possession
of the information and not in breach of any confidentiality obligations. PSP acknowledges that it is aware that (i) Confidential
Information and Competitively Sensitive Information (as defined below) contains material, non-public information regarding the
Corporation and its Affiliates and PEGI and (ii) United States and Canadian securities laws prohibit any persons who have material,
non-public information from purchasing or selling securities of a company using such information or from communicating such information
to any Person (including its Affiliates) under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such Person is likely to
purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. PSP further confirms that it has in place internal information
protection mechanisms to prevent unauthorized use of the Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information.



 


		(2)	“Competitively Sensitive Information” shall mean information regarding the Corporation
or its Affiliates that PEGI determines that one or more Affiliates of PSP could reasonably be expected to use to compete with PEGI.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section Article 7), in no event shall PSP be entitled
to receive Competitively Sensitive Information, and PSP shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain any Competitively Sensitive
Information of which any of their Representatives is or becomes aware in strict confidence; provided that the Corporation shall
provide PSP with a commercially reasonable description of the nature of any Competitively Sensitive Information that would otherwise
have been provided to PSP but for this ‎Section 9.1(2) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide substitute
disclosure to PSP that, to the greatest extent practicable under the circumstances, will enable PSP to assess the applicable opportunity
relating to the Corporation or its



 




     


    	- 30 -

 

    

Affiliates
in substantially the same manner as if PSP had full access to such Competitively Sensitive Information and that is otherwise reasonably
satisfactory to PSP.


 


		(3)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
or restrict any Shareholder or any of its Affiliates from disclosing, without the agreement of the Corporation or its Affiliate,
as applicable: (a) Confidential Information required to be disclosed under any Applicable Law (including applicable securities
laws) or the rules of any securities exchange; (b) Confidential Information required to be disclosed to its lenders or other creditors
on a confidential basis; provided that in no event shall this clause (b) permit the disclosure of any Competitively Sensitive Information.
Any Shareholder disclosing Confidential Information, as applicable in accordance with this ‎Section 9.1 shall use reasonable
efforts to (i) advise the Corporation and the other Shareholders of the details of the required disclosure and (ii) if permitted
by Applicable Law, obtain the comments of the Corporation and such other Shareholders on the wording of the proposed disclosure
prior to making such disclosure.



 


		(4)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall PSP, any of its Affiliates,
or any of their respective Representatives, share any Confidential Information or Competitively Sensitive Information with any
portfolio companies or other investments of PSP (or any of their respective Representatives other than employees of PSP who are
acting in their capacity as Representatives of PSP and do not use such information for any purpose other than in furtherance of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and PSP shall, and shall cause its Affiliates that receive Confidential Information
or Competitively Sensitive Information to, use customary information barriers to ensure that no portfolio company or other investment
of PSP or any of their respective Representatives (other than employees of PSP who are acting in their capacity as Representatives
of PSP and do not use such information for any purpose other than in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
has access to any Confidential Information or Competitively Sensitive Information.



 


		(5)	This Agreement will not be construed as granting expressly or by implication during its terms or
thereafter any interest in or rights or license with respect to any Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information
disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise by or on behalf of the Corporation and its Affiliates.



 


		(6)	In the event of a breach of a Shareholder’s obligations under this Section 9.1, the Shareholder
must, as soon as practicable following discovery of the breach, give written notice to the Corporation of the nature of the breach.
The Shareholder must immediately, and upon consultation with the Corporation, take all necessary reasonable steps to limit the
extent of the breach.



 


		(7)	Disclosure or use of Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information contrary
to, or other breach of, this Agreement, or any other failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by a Shareholder,
will give rise to irreparable injury to the Corporation and its Affiliates, inadequately compensable in damages. The Shareholders
acknowledge and agree that the Corporation and its Affiliates, as applicable, may, in addition to any other remedy and in conjunction
with Section 13.21, enforce the performance of this Agreement by way of injunction or specific performance upon application to
a court of competent jurisdiction without proof of actual damages



 




     


    	- 31 -

 

    

(and without
the requirement of posting a bond or other security). The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and are
in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights and remedies available at law or equity.


 


		9.2	Public Announcements



 


Each Shareholder shall,
and shall cause its Affiliates, to consult with the other Shareholder and provide that other Shareholder a reasonable opportunity
to comment before issuing any press release or making any other public announcement regarding the other Shareholder, provided that
(i) in the case of any disclosure required by Applicable Law or stock exchange rule, such consultation and opportunity to comment
shall only be required to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances and (ii) no consultation and opportunity to
comment shall be required with respect to any disclosure that is substantially similar to prior public disclosure made in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement.

limitations set forth in Article 6, each Shareholder shall do all such acts or things, including the execution of any Share
transfers, that may be necessary to effect the transfer of any Shares to another Shareholder or a Third Party pursuant to this
Section 10.1. For greater certainty, in respect of a proposed Transfer from one Shareholder to another Shareholder, the selling
Shareholder shall cause any such Transfer to be effected by way of a simplified transfer agreement with representations and warranties
restricted to ownership of the Shares to be transferred, enforceability of the Transfer, corporate capacity, authority and authorization,
and receipt of necessary consents to effect the Transfer.

Each Transfer of Shares
between a seller and a buyer will, unless the seller and the buyer otherwise agree, be closed at the offices of the solicitors
of the Corporation at 10:00 a.m. on the closing date specified in accordance with this Agreement.


 


		10.3	Closing Conditions



 


At the time of closing
of any Transfer of any Shares between a seller and a buyer under this Agreement, the seller will table:


 


		(a)	a certificate or certificates representing the Shares being Transferred by the seller, duly endorsed
in blank for transfer or accompanied by a duly executed stock power of transfer in appropriate form;



 


		(b)	a release of any Encumbrances on the Shares being Transferred;



 




     


    	- 32 -

 

    

		(c)	either a certificate of the seller stating that the seller is not a non-resident of Canada for
the purposes of the Income Tax Act or a certificate issued by the Minister of National Revenue pursuant to section 10.6 of the
Income Tax Act with respect to the proposed disposition of property by a non-resident of Canada; and if the seller fails to deliver
such certificate, or if the purchase price for the Shares being sold is greater than the certificate limit shown in the certificate
issued by the Minister of National Revenue, then the buyer will be entitled to deduct or withhold from the purchase price and to
remit to the Receiver General of Canada the amount for which the buyer, in its reasonable determination, is liable pursuant to
the provisions of section 10.6 of the Income Tax Act in respect of the Transfer of the Shares being Transferred; and



 


		(d)	the resignation(s), as a Director, of the seller’s appointee(s) to the Board.



 


		10.4	Payment

		10.5	Allocation of Purchase Price



 


Unless otherwise specified
herein, on any Transfer of Shares the allocation of the purchase price for such Shares will be to each Share, equally per Share.


 


		10.6	Indebtedness between Seller and the Corporation



 


		(1)	If, on the date of closing of any sale and purchase of all of the Shares of a seller, the seller
is indebted to the Corporation or any Subsidiary or has failed to return any property of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, then,
unless the Corporation and the seller otherwise agree in writing, the buyer will at the time of closing of such purchase and sale
pay to the Corporation the purchase price payable for the Shares being sold and the Corporation, acting reasonably, will apply
such purchase price to repayment of the indebtedness of the seller to the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, and,
if applicable, retain an amount equivalent to the fair market value of the property of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as the
case may be, as security for the return of such property. If the seller sells all of his Shares and the indebtedness of the seller
to the Corporation or any Subsidiary exceeds the purchase price for the Shares being sold, then the seller will at the time of
