With respect to the Shares, "<u>Canadian Prospectus</u>" means the English and French language versions (unless the context indicates otherwise) of the Canadian Base Prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws (as defined herein), including but not limited to, Designated News Releases (as defined herein), as supplemented by the English and French language versions (unless the context indicates otherwise) of the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Shares (the "<u>Canadian Prospectus Supplement</u>") to be filed by each of the Company and the Partnership with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities in accordance with Canadian Securities Laws; "<u>Designated News Release</u>" means a news release disseminated by each of the Company and the Partnership in respect of previously undisclosed information that, in each of the Company's and the Partnership's determination, constitutes a material fact (as such term is defined in Canadian Securities Laws) and identified by the Company and the Partnership as a "designated news release" in writing on the face page of the version of such news release that is filed by each of the Company and the Partnership on SEDAR+ (as defined herein). The Canadian Prospectus Supplement shall provide that any and all Designated News Releases shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Canadian Base Prospectus only for the purposes of the distribution of the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Compliance with Canadian Securities Laws.* Each of the Company and the Partnership is a reporting issuer in each of the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions, is not in default under the Canadian Securities Laws, and is in compliance, in all material respects, with its timely disclosure obligations under Canadian Securities Laws and the requirements of the Exchanges (as defined herein). No order, ruling or determination having the effect of suspending the sale or ceasing the trading of any securities of the Company or the Partnership has been issued or made by any Securities Commission, any other securities commission, stock exchange or other regulatory authority and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to either the Company's or the Partnership's knowledge, are contemplated by any such authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Company may, from time to time, propose to the applicable Agent the terms of an Agency Transaction by means of a telephone call or other form of written electronic communication (in each case, confirmed promptly by electronic mail in a form to be agreed upon by the Company and the Agents (an "<u>Agency Transaction Notice</u>")) from at least one of the individuals listed as an authorized representative of the Company on <u>Schedule 1</u> hereto (each, an <u>"</u><u>Authorized Company Representative</u>"), such Agency Transaction Notice to include, among other parameters permitted in accordance with this Agreement: the trading day(s) for the NYSE, the TSX or any other marketplace in Canada or the United States where the Shares may be traded (which may not be a day on which the NYSE, the TSX or other marketplace in Canada or the United States where the Shares may be traded, as applicable, is closed or scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) on which the Shares are to be sold (each, a "<u>Trading Day</u>"); the maximum number or value of Shares that the Company wishes to sell in the aggregate on each Trading Day; the minimum price at which the Company is willing to sell the Shares (the "<u>Floor Price</u>"); the aggregate number of the Shares proposed to be distributed pursuant to such Agency Transaction Notice; and the amount of the Agents Fees (as defined herein).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not deliver an Agency Transaction Notice to an Agent if the Company has delivered an Agency Transaction Notice which remains in effect to another Agent, unless the Company has terminated the prior Agency Transaction Notice in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 2(a)(vii). The terms of an Agency Transaction shall be proposed to, and each Agency Transaction Notice shall be addressed to, the respective individuals from the applicable Agent set forth on <u>Schedule 1</u> hereto, as such <u>Schedule</u> <u>1</u> may be amended from time to time by written notice (which may be provided by email) to each of the parties hereto (the "<u>Authorized Agent Representatives</u>").

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If such proposed terms for an Agency Transaction are acceptable to the applicable Agent, it shall promptly confirm the terms by countersigning the Agency Transaction Notice for such Agency Transaction and emailing it to the Authorized Company Representatives which delivered such Agency Transaction Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Agent shall, severally and not jointly, use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and in accordance with applicable law and regulations, to sell all of the Shares designated in, and subject to the terms of, such Agency Transaction Notice. The applicable Agent shall not sell any Share at a price lower than the Floor Price. The Company acknowledges and agrees with the Agents that (x) there can be no assurance that an Agent will be successful in selling all or any of such Shares or as to the price at which any Shares are sold, if at all, (y) no Agent shall incur any liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if they do not sell any Shares for any reason other than a failure by such Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and in accordance with applicable law and regulations, to sell such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (z) no Agent shall be under any obligation to purchase any Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement except as otherwise specifically agreed by such Agent and the Company pursuant to an Agency Transaction Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Each of the U.S. Agents, severally (and not jointly), covenants and agrees with the Company that (i) it shall not, directly or indirectly, advertise or solicit offers to purchase or sell Shares in Canada, and (ii) it shall not sell Shares on any "marketplace" (as defined under Canadian Securities Laws) in Canada. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the U.S. Agents is acting as an agent or underwriter of the Shares in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions and no action on the part of any of the U.S. Agents in its capacity as an Agent of the offering of the Shares in the United States is intended to create any impression or support any conclusion that it is acting as an agent or underwriter of the Shares in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Each of the Canadian Agents, severally and not jointly, hereby covenants and agrees that, if and when such Canadian Agent has received an Agency Transaction Notice that has not been suspended or terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, such Canadian Agent will prudently and actively monitor the market's reaction to trades made on any marketplace pursuant to this Agreement in order to evaluate the likely market impact of future trades, and that, if such Canadian Agent has concerns as to whether a particular sale contemplated by an Agency Transaction Notice may have a significant effect on the market price of the Shares, the applicable Canadian Agent will, upon receipt of the applicable Agency Transaction Notice, recommend to the Company against effecting the trade at that time or on the terms proposed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that neither the Canadian Agents nor the U.S. Agents can provide complete assurances that any sale will not have a significant effect on the market price of the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Each of the Agents, severally (and not jointly), covenants and agrees with the Company that no sale of Shares may be made hereunder if it would cause the Company or the Partnership to violate Ontario Securities Commission Rule 48-501 or Regulation M under the Exchange Act in connection with purchases of Shares or Units by the Company or the Partnership, as applicable, in its normal course issuer bid.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) The Company may, acting through at least one Authorized Company Representative, or the applicable Agent may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone or electronic communication (confirmed promptly by electronic mail), suspend an offering of the Shares or terminate an Agency Transaction Notice; *provided*, *however*, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties' respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice, including the parties' obligations set forth under Section 2(a)(ix). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during (i) any time period in which either the Company is in possession of "material non-public information" or has knowledge of a "material change" or "material fact" with respect to the Company, the Partnership, the Shares or the Units that has not been generally disclosed or the Company has imposed a trading blackout period pursuant to its internal policies and procedures, or (ii) any period in which the Company or the Partnership is making bids for and purchasing Exchangeable Shares or Units, as applicable, in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act or normal course issuer bids under applicable Canadian Securities Laws (each, a "<u>No Trade Period</u>"), the Company agrees that (i) it will not deliver an Agency Transaction Notice to any Agent and (ii) it will terminate any Agency Transaction Notice that was previously delivered to any Agent. For greater certainty, at any time while an Agency Transaction Notice is pending or effective (and not currently suspended), the Company shall promptly notify the Agents of the commencement of a No Trade Period and suspend any further offering or sale of Shares under the Agency Transaction Notice until the end of the No Trade Period or such longer time period as required by Applicable Securities Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, the time period commencing from and including the date hereof to the issuance of the Company's and the Partnership's respective earnings release for the fourth quarter of the 2025 fiscal year ("<u>Q4 2025 Earnings Release</u>") shall constitute a No Trade Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) If the terms of any Agency Transaction as set forth in an Agency Transaction Notice contemplate that the Shares shall be sold on more than one (1) Trading Day, then the Company and the applicable Agent shall mutually agree to such additional terms and conditions as they deem necessary in respect of such multiple Trading Days, and such additional terms and conditions shall be binding to the same extent as any other terms contained in the relevant Agency Transaction Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) The applicable Agent, as sales agent in an Agency Transaction, shall not make any sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company, pursuant to this Agreement, other than by methods permitted by law, including (i) by means of ordinary brokers' transactions that qualify for delivery of the Prospectuses in accordance with Rule 153 under the Act and meet the definition of an "at-the-market-distribution" under Rule 415(a)(4) under the Act, or that constitute an "at-the-market distribution" under NI 44-102 and are made in compliance with NI 44-102, including, without limitation, sales made on or through the Exchanges, or any other marketplace in Canada or the United States where the Exchangeable Shares may be traded or (ii) in block transactions. Each of the Canadian Agents severally (and not jointly) agrees that it shall not, in connection with the distribution of the Shares in an "at-the-market distribution" under NI 44-102, engage in any transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Exchangeable Shares, including selling an aggregate number of Shares that would result in the Canadian Agent creating an over-allocation position in the Exchangeable Shares.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) The compensation to the Agents for sales of the Shares in an Agency Transaction shall be as agreed to by the Company and the Agents from time to time but shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the gross offering proceeds of the Shares sold in such Agency Transaction, which amount shall be paid in the same currency as the sale of the Shares to which it relates (the "<u>Agents Fees</u>"). The applicable Agent shall provide written confirmation to the Company (which may be provided by email to at least one of the Authorized Company Representatives) following the close of trading on each Trading Day on which Shares are sold in an Agency Transaction under this Agreement, setting forth (i) the number of Shares and the average price of Shares sold on such Trading Day (showing the number and the average price of Shares sold on the TSX, on the NYSE or on any other marketplace in Canada or the United States where the Shares may be traded), (ii) the gross offering proceeds received from such sales, (iii) the commission payable by the Company to the applicable Agent with respect to such sales (which commission shall be paid in the same currency as the sale of the Shares to which such commission pertains) and (iv) the net offering proceeds (being the gross offering proceeds for such sales less the commission payable for such sales) (the "<u>Net Offering Proceeds</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) Settlement for sales of the Shares in an Agency Transaction pursuant to this Agreement shall occur on the first Trading Day or such later day as is industry practice for regular-way trading following the date on which such sales are made (each such day, a "<u>Settlement Date</u>"). On each Settlement Date, the Shares sold through the applicable Agent in Agency Transactions for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to the applicable Agent against payment by the applicable Agent to the Company of the Net Offering Proceeds from the sale of such Shares. Settlement for all such Shares shall be effected by free delivery of the Shares by the Company or its transfer agent to the applicable Agent's or its designee's account (*provided* that the applicable Agent shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the relevant Settlement Date) at CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. through its CDSX system for Shares sold in Canada, and at The Depository Trust Company for Shares sold in the United States, or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered Shares in good deliverable form, in return for payment in same-day funds delivered to the account designated by the Company. If the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Shares on any Settlement Date, the Company shall (i) hold the applicable Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and (ii) pay the applicable Agent any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default; provided, however, that without limiting Section 5 herein, with respect to (ii) above, the Company shall not be obligated to pay the applicable Agent any commission, discount or other compensation on any Shares that it is not possible to settle due to: (A) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on either of the Exchanges; (B) a material disruption in securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or Canada; or (C) failure by the applicable Agent to comply with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Maximum Number of Shares*. Under no circumstances shall the Company propose to any one of the Agents, or any one of the Agents effect, a sale of Shares in an Agency Transaction pursuant to this Agreement if such sale would (i) cause the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the Maximum Amount, (ii) cause

------

the number of Shares sold to exceed the number of Exchangeable Shares available for offer and sale under the then effective Canadian Prospectus or Registration Statement, or (iii) cause the number of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the number of Shares authorized to be issued and sold from time to time pursuant to this Agreement by the board of directors of the Company and the Partnership, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the applicable Agent in writing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Continuing Accuracy of Representations and Warranties*. Any obligation of the Agents to use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company as sales agents shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 4 of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Notice of Stop Orders*. Each of the Company and the Partnership will advise the Agents, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by any Securities Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectuses or other prospectus in respect of the Shares, of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in the United States or the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by any Securities Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or for additional information relating to the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Delivery of Prospectus; Subsequent Changes*. Within the time during which a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered by the Agents under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 153, Rule 172 or Rule 173(a) under the Act) or the Canadian Securities Laws, each of the Company and the Partnership will comply in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by all Applicable Securities Laws, as appropriate and as from time to time in force, and will file or furnish on or before their respective due dates all reports required to be filed or furnished by it with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act or with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities pursuant to the Canadian Securities Laws, as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Stock Exchange Listing*. (i) The Shares (and the Units issuable on the exchange thereof) shall have been duly authorized for listing on the Exchanges, subject only to notice of issuance at or prior to the applicable Settlement Date or (ii) the Company and the Partnership shall have filed an application for listing of the Shares (and the Units issuable on the exchange thereof) on the Exchanges at, or prior to, the delivery of any Agency Transaction Notice. The Company and the Partnership will maintain the listing of the Shares and the Units, respectively, on the Exchanges and the Company will keep available, at all times, free of preemptive rights, Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) *Securities Act Filings Made*. All filings with the Commission required by the Act and required by the Canadian Qualifying Authorities to have been filed prior to the issuance of any Agency Transaction Notice hereunder shall have been made within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by the Act and Canadian Securities Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) *FINRA.* If a filing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("<u>FINRA</u>") is required, FINRA shall not have objected to the fairness or reasonableness of the terms or arrangements under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) *Regulation M*. The Exchangeable Shares shall qualify as an "actively-traded security" excepted from the requirements of Rule 101 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act by subsection (c)(1) of such rule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) *Additional Certificates*. Each of the Company and the Partnership shall have furnished to the Agents such certificate or certificates of the Company and the Partnership, as applicable, in addition to those specifically mentioned herein, as the Agents may have reasonably requested as to the accuracy and completeness at each Representation Date of any statement in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or any documents filed under the Exchange Act and Canadian Securities Laws and deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectuses, as to the accuracy at such Representation Date of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Partnership herein, as to the performance by the Company and the Partnership of their obligations hereunder, or as to the fulfillment of the conditions concurrent and precedent to the obligations hereunder of the Agents.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) *Transfer Agent*. The Company shall engage and maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) *Press Release*. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall have issued and disseminated, and filed with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities in compliance with NI 44-102, a news release (i) announcing that the Company and the Partnership have entered into this Agreement, (ii) indicating that the Prospectus Supplements have been or will be filed and (iii) specifying where and how a purchaser of Shares may obtain a copy of this Agreement and the Prospectus Supplements. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, and in any event before any sales of Shares are made hereunder, the Company and the Partnership shall file this Agreement with the Canadian Qualifying Authorities in accordance with applicable Canadian Securities Laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements described in this Section 4 shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Agency Transaction Notice is pending or in effect, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers an Agency Transaction Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following a Representation Date when the Company and the Partnership relied on such waiver, then before the Company delivers the Agency Transaction Notice, or the Agents sell any Shares, the Company and the Partnership shall comply with the requirements described in this Section 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Indemnification and Contribution</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each of the Company and the Partnership shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents and the Agent's directors, officers and employees and each person who controls any Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (for the purposes of this Section 5, the "**Indemnified Agent Parties**") from and against all liabilities, claims, demands, losses (other than loss of profit in connection with the distribution of the Shares), costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, in any way caused by or arising directly or indirectly from or in consequence of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or the Partnership in this Agreement or any other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, or the failure of the Company or the Partnership to comply with any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any information or statement in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses, or any amendments thereto or any other material filed in compliance or intended compliance with Applicable Securities Laws being or being alleged to be a misrepresentation or untrue, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein any information;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectuses, any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or any other material filed in compliance or intended compliance with Applicable Securities Laws, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Company or the Partnership not complying with any requirement of Applicable Securities Laws, or any breach or violation or alleged breach or violation of any Applicable Securities Laws or other applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) any order made or any inquiry, investigation, or proceeding instituted, threatened or announced by any court, securities regulatory authority, stock exchange, or other competent authority (except any such proceeding or order based solely upon the activities of any of the Agents) or any change of law or the interpretation or administration thereof which operates to prevent or restrict the trading in or the distribution of the Shares or any other securities of the Company or the Partnership in the United States or the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions,

*provided* that the Company and the Partnership shall not be liable for indemnification under this Section 5(a) in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses, any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or in any other material so filed in reliance upon and in conformity with information in respect of any of the Agents furnished in writing to the Company and the Partnership by the Agents specifically for inclusion in such document, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Agent consists of the "Agent Information" described in Section 5(c) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any of the Indemnified Agent Parties incurs or suffers any loss, claim, demand, damage, cost, expense or liability (other than loss of profit) caused by or arising directly or indirectly by reason of any circumstance described in Section 5(a) in respect of which the Company or the Partnership would be obligated to indemnify pursuant to Section 5(a) and is indemnified (pursuant to a legal obligation or otherwise) in respect thereof by any of the Agents, then such of the Agents who provided such indemnity shall be protected and indemnified by the Company or the Partnership to the extent thereof. It is intended that the rights to indemnity provided in Section 5(a) be held in trust by the Agents for the benefit of the Indemnified Agent Parties other than the Agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Agent agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Partnership, their directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement or the Canadian Prospectus Supplement and each person who controls the Company or the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (for the purposes of this Section 5, the "**Indemnified Partnership Parties**" and together with the Indemnified Agent Parties, the "**Indemnified Parties**") to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in 5(a)(iii) and 5(a)(iv) above, but only with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue

------

statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Partnership by any Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectuses or any other material filed in compliance or intended compliance with Applicable Securities Laws, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Agent consists of the names of the Agents set forth on the cover page and the following information under the heading "Plan of Distribution" in the U.S. Prospectus Supplement and the Canadian Prospectus Supplement, to the extent applicable, furnished on behalf of each Agent: the first sentence contained in the twelfth paragraph thereunder (the "<u>Agent Information</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Sections 5(a) and 5(b) are unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason to an Indemnified Agent Party in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to therein, the Company and the Partnership shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (or, if such indemnity is unavailable only in respect of a portion of the amount so paid or payable, such portion of the amount so paid or payable) by such Indemnified Agent Party as a result of such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, from the sale of the Shares; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Agents, on the other hand, in connection with the matters or things referred to in Section 5(a) which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations,

*provided* that the Agents shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of any Agents Fees or any portion thereof actually received. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Agents, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total proceeds from the sale of the Shares (net of the Agents Fees payable to the Agents but before deducting expenses) received by the Company is to the Agents Fees received by the Agents. The relative fault of the Company and the Partnership on the one hand and of the Agents on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in Section 5(a) that resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Company or the Partnership or to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Agents and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in Section 5(a). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Agent Party as a result of the liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Agent Party in connection with investigating or defending any such liabilities,

------

claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses, whether or not resulting in an action, suit, proceeding or claim. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), in no event shall an Agent be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total Agent Fees received by such Agent exceeds the amount of any damages that such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Agents' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d) are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have sold hereunder, and not joint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If any claim contemplated by this Section 5 shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party concerned shall promptly notify the Company and the Partnership or the Agents, as applicable (referred to interchangeably for purposes of this Section 5 as the "**Indemnifying Party**") of the nature of such claim (*provided* that any failure to so notify promptly shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability under this Section 5 only to the extent that such failure prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim), and the Indemnifying Party shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) brought to enforce such claim. Any such defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party (whose acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) and no admission of liability or settlement shall be made by the Indemnifying Party or any Indemnified Party in respect of any Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time; (ii) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party; or (iii) the named parties to any such suit or proceeding include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have received a written opinion from counsel that there may be one or more legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party and shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstance, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or suit effected without its written consent. It is the intention of the Company and the Partnership to constitute each of the Agents as trustees for the Agents' directors, officers, employees, affiliates and persons who control any of the Agents, of the covenants of the Company and the Partnership under Section 5(a) with respect to the Indemnified Agent Parties and the Agents agree to accept

------

such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each of the Company and the Partnership waives all right of contribution by statute or common law which it may have against the Agents in respect of losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities which it may sustain as a direct or indirect consequence of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectuses, any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or any other material filed in compliance or intended compliance with Applicable Securities Laws or any other document containing or being alleged to contain a misrepresentation; *provided* that such right against any one of the Agents is not waived in respect of losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities sustained as a direct or indirect consequence of the Canadian Prospectus or any other document containing a misrepresentation of which such Agent was aware of at the time it signed the Canadian Prospectus or any amendment to the Canadian Prospectus or a misrepresentation made in reliance upon and in conformity with "Agent Information" described in Section 5(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The rights provided in this Section 5 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right which the Agents may have by statute or otherwise at law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Termination</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company and the Partnership may terminate this Agreement in their sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to the Agents. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to the other parties, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company and the Partnership, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of the Agents, and the obligations of the Agents in respect of such pending sale shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 1 (*Representations and Warranties*), 3(g) (*Expenses*), 5 (*Indemnification and Contribution*), 7(b) (*Applicable Law*), 7(c) (*Submission to Jurisdiction*), 7(f) (*Representations and Indemnities to Survive*) and 7(l) (*Waiver of Jury Trial*) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Agent may terminate its obligations under this Agreement solely with respect to such Agent in its sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to the Company and the Partnership. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to another party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company and the Partnership, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of the Agents, and the obligations of the Agents in respect of such pending sale shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 1 (*Representations and Warranties*), 3(g) (*Expenses*), 5 (*Indemnification and Contribution*), 7(b) (*Applicable Law*), 7(c) (*Submission to Jurisdiction*), 7(f) (*Representations and Indemnities to Survive*) and 7(l) (*Waiver* 

------

 *of Jury Trial*) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Unless previously terminated pursuant to this Section 6, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (i) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(a) or 6(b) above or otherwise by mutual written agreement of the parties, (ii) such date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement equals the Maximum Amount and (iii) February 24, 2027 (such date being the expiration date of the Canadian Base Prospectus) in each case except that (x) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of the Agents, and the obligations of the Agents in respect of such pending sale shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (y) the provisions of Sections 1 (*Representations and Warranties*), 3(g) (*Expenses*), 5 (*Indemnification and Contribution*), 7(b) (*Applicable Law*), 7(c) (*Submission to Jurisdiction*), 7(f) (*Representations and Indemnities to Survive*) and 7(l) (*Waiver of Jury Trial*) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in the notice of termination; *provided* that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agents or the Company and the Partnership, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility*. The Company and the Partnership acknowledge and agree that: (i) the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the terms of the offering and any related commissions, is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and the several Agents, on the other hand, and the Company and the Partnership are each capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, the Agents owe no fiduciary duties to the Company, the Partnership or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party; (iii) no Agent has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company and the Partnership with respect to the offer and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Agent has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Partnership on other matters) and no Agent has any obligation to the Company or the Partnership with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Agents and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Partnership and that the several Agents have no obligation to disclose to the Company or the Partnership any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Agents have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Partnership have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company and the Partnership hereby waive

------

and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company or the Partnership may have against the several Agents with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Applicable Law.* This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Submission to Jurisdiction.* Each of the Company and the Partnership hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in the City and County of New York and of the United States for the Southern District of New York and the federal and provincial courts in the Province of Ontario in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and the Partnership irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York in the City and County of New York and of the United States for the Southern District of New York and the federal and provincial courts in the Province of Ontario and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Company and the Partnership irrevocably appoints Brookfield Power US Holding America Co. as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to the Company and/or the Partnership, as applicable, by the person serving the same to the address provided in Section 7(g), shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company and/or the Partnership, as applicable, in any such suit or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Partnership further agrees to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect for a period of seven (7) years from the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Judgment Currency*. The obligation of the Company and the Partnership in respect of any sum due to any Agent in United States dollars shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency; if the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Agent hereunder, the Company and the Partnership agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Agent hereunder, such Agent agrees to pay to the Company or the Partnership, as applicable, an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Agent hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Compliance with USA Patriot Act*. In accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001)), the Agents are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and addresses of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Agents to properly identify their respective clients.

The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in documents submitted pursuant to this Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares; *provided* that with respect to any action brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in Canada such representations and warranties shall continue in full force and effect for three years from such date of the issuance of the Shares.

January 12, 2026

Brookfield Renewable Corporation

250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor

New York, NY 10281-1023

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as British Columbia legal counsel to Brookfield Renewable Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the "**Corporation**"), in connection with the sale by the Corporation of up to US$400,000,000 of class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares ("**Offered Shares**") of the Corporation pursuant to an equity distribution agreement dated January 12, 2026 (the "**EDA**") among the Corporation, Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. ("**BEP**"), BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., TD Securities Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp. and TD Securities (USA) LLC. The Offered Shares may be offered and sold in "at-the-market" distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – *Shelf Distributions*.

The Corporation and BEP filed a joint registration statement on Form F-3 (File Nos. 333-278523 and 333-278523-01) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**Commission**") on April 5, 2024, as amended on March 6, 2025 and as declared effective, following such amendment, by the SEC on April 2, 2025 (the "**Registration Statement**"). The Registration Statement contains the base prospectus as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated as of January 12, 2026 and filed with the Commission on January 12, 2026 (the "**Prospectus**"), pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the *Securities Act of 1933*, as amended (the "**Securities Act**").

We are solicitors qualified to practice law in the Province of British Columbia and we do not purport to be experts on the law of any other jurisdiction other than the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes of the facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in applicable law.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the EDA. We also have examined the originals, or duplicate, certified, conformed, telecopied or photostatic copies, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other investigations as we have considered necessary or relevant for the purposes of this opinion. With respect to the accuracy of factual matters material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents and representations of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Corporation. In giving this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates, certified, conformed, telecopied or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames

**Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (Partnership)**

We have acted as legal advisers as to matters of Bermuda law to the Partnership, an exempted limited partnership formed under the laws of Bermuda (**Partnership**). We have been requested to render this opinion in connection with the filing by Brookfield Renewable Corporation (**BEPC**) and the Partnership of a prospectus supplement dated 12 January 2026 (**Prospectus Supplement**) to the base prospectus included in the Partnership's registration statement on Form F-3 (Reg. Nos. 333-278523 and 333-278523-01 (as filed on 5 April 2024, amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on 6 March 2025 and declared effective on 2 April 2025)) (**Registration Statement**) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (**SEC**) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (**Securities Act**), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, relating to the registration under the Securities Act of up to $400,000,000 of class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BEPC (**Exchangeable Shares**) and the limited partnership units (**LP Units**) of the Partnership that are issuable or deliverable upon exchange, redemption or acquisition of such Exchangeable Shares.

For the purposes of this opinion we have examined and relied upon the documents listed (which in some cases, are also defined) in the Schedule to this opinion (**Documents**).

**Assumptions**

In stating our opinion we have assumed:

1. the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of all Documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to
authentic original Documents of all

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

2. Documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, notarized or photostatic copies;

3. the genuineness of all signatures on the Documents;

4. the authority, capacity and power of persons signing the Documents;

5. that any representation, warranty or statement of fact or law, other than the laws of Bermuda made in any of
the Documents, is true, accurate and complete;

6. that there are no provisions of the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda which would have
any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein;

7. that there are no provisions of the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda which would be
contravened by any actions taken by the Partnership in connection with the Registration Statement or which would have any implication in relation to the opinion expressed herein and that, in so far as any obligation under, or action to be taken
under, the Registration Statement is required to be performed or taken in any jurisdiction outside Bermuda, the performance of such obligation or the taking of such action will constitute a valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto
under the laws of that jurisdiction and will not be illegal by virtue of the laws of that jurisdiction;

8. the accuracy, completeness and currency of the records and filing systems maintained at the public offices
where we have searched or enquired or have caused searches or enquiries to be conducted, that such search and enquiry did not fail to disclose any information which had been filed with or delivered to the relevant body but had not been processed at
the time when the search was conducted and the enquiries were made, and that the information disclosed by the Company and Partnership Searches and the Litigation Searches is accurate and complete in all respects and such information has not been
materially altered since the date and time of the Company and Partnership Searches and the Litigation Searches; and

9. any amendment to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement is properly authorized by the
Partnership and the terms and transactions contemplated by any such amendment adopted would not be inconsistent with the Resolutions and the terms and transactions contemplated by the Prospectus Supplement and the Registration Statement as of the
date hereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**Opinion** 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the reservations set out below and to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Partnership is an exempted limited partnership established and existing under the laws of Bermuda. The
Partnership possesses the capacity to sue and be sued and is in good standing under the laws of Bermuda. All suits in respect of the Partnership shall be prosecuted against its general partner Brookfield Renewable Partners Limited (**General Partner**), in its capacity as general partner of the Partnership.

2. The issue of the LP Units has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Partnership and
when issued as contemplated by the Prospectus Supplement, the Resolutions and the Constitutional Documents, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable units of the Partnership.

**Reservations** 

We have the following reservations:

1. We express no opinion as to any law other than Bermuda law and none of the opinions expressed herein relates to
compliance with or matters governed by the laws of any jurisdiction except Bermuda. This opinion is limited to Bermuda law as applied by the courts of Bermuda at the date hereof.

2. Where an obligation is to be performed in a jurisdiction other than Bermuda, the courts of Bermuda may refuse
to enforce it to the extent that such performance would be illegal under the laws of, or contrary to public policy of such other jurisdiction.

3. Any reference in this opinion to units being "non-assessable" shall mean, in relation to fully-paid units of the Partnership and subject to any contrary provision in any agreement in writing between the Partnership and the holder of units,
that: no holder shall be obliged to contribute further amounts to the capital of the Partnership, either in order to complete payment for their units, to satisfy claims of creditors of the Partnership, or otherwise.

4. Searches of the Register of Companies at the office of the Registrar of Companies are not conclusive and it
should be noted that the Register of Companies and the Supreme Court Causes Book do not reveal:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

(i) details of matters which have been lodged for filing or registration which as a matter of best practice of the
Registrar of Companies or the Registry of the Supreme Court would have or should have been disclosed on the public file, the Causes Book or the Judgment Book, as the case may be, but for whatever reason have not actually been filed or registered or
are not disclosed or which, notwithstanding filing or registration, at the date and time the search is concluded are for whatever reason not disclosed or do not appear on the public file, the Causes Book or Judgment Book;

(ii) details of matters which should have been lodged for filing or registration at the Registrar of Companies or
the Registry of the Supreme Court but have not been lodged for filing or registration at the date the search is concluded;

(iii) whether an application to the Supreme Court for a winding-up petition
or for the appointment of a receiver or manager has been prepared but not yet been presented or has been presented but does not appear in the Causes Book at the date and time the search is concluded;

(iv) whether any arbitration or administrative proceedings are pending or whether any proceedings are threatened, or
whether any arbitrator has been appointed; or

(v) whether a receiver or manager has been appointed privately pursuant to the provisions of a debenture or other
security, unless notice of the fact has been entered in the Register of Charges in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1981.

5. The Limited Partnership Act 1883 (**Act**) provides that a limited partner shall be liable as a general
partner if he takes part in the management of the partnership.

6. A limited partner is liable to the Partnership, or to its creditors, for any amount in respect of such limited
partner's contribution to the Partnership to the extent such contribution has not been contributed in full, or to the extent such contribution is either released or returned to the limited partner contrary to the restrictions on reductions of
capital contained in the Act.

7. A limited partner is liable for damages on account of misrepresentation in respect of false statements
contained in the certificate of limited partnership, any supplementary certificates or certificate of cancellation in respect of the Partnership, to the extent a limited partner signed such certificate, or caused another to sign it on his/her
behalf, and knew such statement to be false at the time of signature.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

8. Every partner of the Partnership who is guilty of any fraud in the affairs of the Partnership shall be liable
civilly to the party injured to the extent of his damage and shall be liable for penalties applicable to offences committed in contravention of the Act.

9. In opinion paragraph 1, the term 'good standing' means only that the Partnership has received a
Certificate of Compliance from the Registrar of Companies in Hamilton, Bermuda which confirms that it has neither failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority nor to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax.

10. With respect to opinion 2, we have relied upon statements and representations made to us in the Officer's
Certificate provided to us by an authorised officer of the General Partner for the purposes of this opinion. We have made no independent verification of the matters referred to in the Officer's Certificate, and we qualify such opinion to the
extent that the statements or representations made in the Officer's Certificate are not accurate in any respect.

**Disclosure** 

This opinion is addressed to you in connection with the registration of the LP Units with the SEC and is not to be made available to, or relied on by any other person or entity (other than the Unitholders as referenced in the Registration Statement), or for any other purpose, nor quoted or referred to in any public document nor filed with any governmental agency or person (other than the SEC in connection with the Registration Statement), without our prior written consent except as may be required by law or regulatory authority. We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Partnership's Report of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K being filed on or about the date hereof and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and further consent to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement and Prospectus Supplement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

This opinion is governed by and is to be construed in accordance with Bermuda law. Further, this opinion speaks as of its date and is strictly limited to the matters stated in it and we assume no obligation to review or update this opinion if applicable law or the existing acts or circumstances should change.

Under the ATM Program, BEPC may, at its discretion, offer and sell up to $400 million (or the Canadian dollar equivalent) of BEPC Shares directly from treasury.

Brookfield Renewable intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program, if any, to facilitate repurchases by the Partnership of its non-voting limited partnership units (each, an "LP Unit") under its normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") program (subject to compliance with applicable securities laws) and for general corporate purposes.

Overall, the ATM Program, if exercised, is expected to be non-dilutive to Brookfield Renewable, as the combined number of LP Units and BEPC Shares outstanding is intended to remain generally unchanged, though there may be temporary fluctuations over the course of the issuances of BEPC Shares and corresponding repurchases of LP Units.

**<u>ATM Program Details</u>**

Under the ATM Program, BEPC Shares may be sold to the public from time to time at prevailing market prices through the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or any other marketplace in Canada or the United States where BEPC Shares may be traded. As a result, sale prices of the BEPC Shares sold under the ATM Program, if any, may vary among purchasers and throughout the distribution period. The ATM Program will provide BEPC with flexibility to issue BEPC Shares directly into the market at times when conditions are determined to be favorable.

Each BEPC Share will be exchangeable at the option of the holder for one LP Unit (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BEPC).

The BEPC Shares will be offered pursuant to an equity distribution agreement dated January 12, 2026 (the "Distribution Agreement") entered among the Partnership, BEPC and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and TD Securities Inc. (together, the "Canadian Agents"), and BMO Capital Markets Corp. and TD Securities (USA) LLC (together, the "U.S. Agents" and, together with the Canadian Agents, the "Agents", each an "Agent"). Sales may be made through "at the market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – *Shelf Distributions* and in sales deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and as otherwise permitted by applicable laws. The ATM Program will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of the BEPC Shares subject to the Distribution Agreement, (ii) termination of the Distribution Agreement by BEPC or by the Agents as provided therein, or (iii) on February 24, 2027, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement.
