**Part 10<br> MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS**

**Annual General Meetings**

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

**Resolution Instead of Annual General Meeting**

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

**Calling of Meetings of Shareholders**

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

**Notice for Meetings of Shareholders**

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) otherwise, 10 days.

**Record Date for Notice**

10.5 The directors may set a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of shareholders. The record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is to be held by more than two months or, in the case of a general meeting requisitioned by shareholders under the Act, by more than four months. The record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is held by fewer than:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) otherwise, 10 days.

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

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

**Failure to Give Notice and Waiver of Notice**

10.7 The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting of shareholders to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any of the persons entitled to notice does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting. Any person entitled to notice of a meeting of shareholders may, in writing or otherwise, waive that entitlement or may agree to reduce the period of that notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting of shareholders is a waiver of entitlement to notice of the meeting unless that person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called.

**Notice of Special Business at Meetings of Shareholders**

10.8 If a meeting of shareholders is to consider special business within the meaning of §11.1, the notice of meeting must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) state the general nature of the special business; and

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

**Place of Meetings**

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

**Change in Number of Directors**

13.2 If the number of directors is set under §13.1(b)(i) or §13.1(c)(i), subject to any restrictions in the Act and to §14.8, the board of directors may appoint the directors needed to fill any vacancies in the board of directors up to that number.

**Directors' Acts Valid Despite Vacancy**

13.3 An act or proceeding of the directors is not invalid merely because fewer than the number of directors set or otherwise required under these Articles is in office.

**Qualifications of Directors**

13.4 A director is not required to hold a share in the share structure of the Company as qualification for his or her office but must be qualified as required by the Act to become, act or continue to act as a director.

**Remuneration of Directors**

**Gratuity, Pension or Allowance on Retirement of Director**

13.8 Unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution, the directors on behalf of the Company may pay a gratuity or pension or allowance on retirement to any director who has held any salaried office or place of profit with the Company or to his or her spouse or dependants and may make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance.

**Part 14<br> ELECTION AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS**

**Election at Annual General Meeting**

14.1 At every annual general meeting and in every unanimous resolution contemplated by §10.2:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the shareholders entitled to vote at the annual general meeting for the election of directors must elect, or in the unanimous resolution appoint, a board of directors consisting of the number of directors for the time being set under these Articles; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) all the directors cease to hold office immediately before the election or appointment of directors under §(a), but are eligible for re-election or re-appointment.

**Consent to be a Director**

14.2 No election, appointment or designation of an individual as a director is valid unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) that individual consents to be a director in the manner provided for in the Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) that individual is elected or appointed at a meeting at which the individual is present and the individual does not refuse, at the meeting, to be a director; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) with respect to first directors, the designation is otherwise valid under the Act.

**Failure to Elect or Appoint Directors**

14.3 If:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Company fails to hold an annual general meeting, and all the shareholders who are entitled to vote at an annual general meeting fail to pass the unanimous resolution contemplated by §10.2, on or before the date by which the annual general meeting is required to be held under the Act; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the shareholders fail, at the annual general meeting or in the unanimous resolution contemplated by §10.2, to elect or appoint any directors;

then each director then in office continues to hold office until the earlier of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) when his or her successor is elected or appointed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) when he or she otherwise ceases to hold office under the Act or these Articles.

**Places of Retiring Directors Not Filled**

14.4 If, at any meeting of shareholders at which there should be an election of directors, the places of any of the retiring directors are not filled by that election, those retiring directors who are not re-elected and who are asked by the newly elected directors to continue in office will, if willing to do so, continue in office to complete the number of directors for the time being set pursuant to these Articles but their term of office shall expire no later than the date on which new directors are elected at a meeting of shareholders convened for that purpose. If any such election or continuance of directors does not result in the election or continuance of the number of directors for the time being set pursuant to these Articles, the number of directors of the Company is deemed to be set at the number of directors actually elected or continued in office.

**Directors May Fill Casual Vacancies**

14.5 Any casual vacancy occurring in the board of directors may be filled by the directors.

**Remaining Directors Power to Act**

14.6 The directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in the board of directors, but if the Company has fewer directors in office than the number set pursuant to these Articles as the quorum of directors, the directors may only act for the purpose of appointing directors up to that number or of calling a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of filling any vacancies on the board of directors or, subject to the Act, for any other purpose.

**Shareholders May Fill Vacancies**

14.7 If the Company has no directors or fewer directors in office than the number set pursuant to these Articles as the quorum of directors, the shareholders may elect or appoint directors to fill any vacancies on the board of directors.

**Additional Directors**

14.8 Notwithstanding §13.1, §13.2, and §14.1, between annual general meetings or by unanimous resolutions contemplated by §10.2, the directors may appoint one or more additional directors but the number of additional directors appointed under this §14.8 must not at any time exceed one-third of the number of the current directors who were elected or appointed as directors other than under this §14.8. Any director so appointed ceases to hold office immediately before the next election or appointment of directors under §14.1(a), but is eligible for re-election or reappointment.

**Ceasing to be a Director**

14.9 A director ceases to be a director when:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the term of office of the director expires;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the director resigns as a director by notice in writing provided to the Company or a lawyer for the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the director is removed from office pursuant to §14.10 or §14.11.

**Removal of Director by Shareholders**

14.10 The Company may remove any director before the expiration of his or her term of office by special resolution. In that event, the shareholders may elect, or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill the resulting vacancy. If the shareholders do not elect or appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy contemporaneously with the removal, then the directors may appoint or the shareholders may elect, or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill that vacancy.

**Removal of Director by Directors**

14.11 The directors may remove any director before the expiration of his or her term of office if the director is convicted of an indictable offence, or if the director ceases to be qualified to act as a director of a company and does not promptly resign, and the directors may appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy.

**Nomination of Directors**

14.12 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject only to the Act, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Company.

&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) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the fifteenth (15th) day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made.

&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) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement in this §14.12(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To be in proper written form, a Nominating Shareholder's notice to an officer of the Company, under §14.12(b) must set forth:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of this §14.12; provided, however, that nothing in this §14.12 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by a shareholder (as distinct from nominating directors) at a meeting of shareholders of any matter in respect of which it would have been entitled to submit a proposal pursuant to the provisions of the Act. The chair of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the foregoing provisions and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with such foregoing provisions, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

**Part 15<br> POWERS AND DUTIES OF DIRECTORS**

**Powers of Management**

15.1 The directors must, subject to the Act and these Articles, manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company and have the authority to exercise all such powers of the Company as are not, by the Act or by these Articles, required to be exercised by the shareholders of the Company.

Any such power of attorney may contain such provisions for the protection or convenience of persons dealing with such attorney as the directors think fit. Any such attorney may be authorized by the directors to sub-delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions for the time being vested in him or her.

**Part 16<br> INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS**

**Obligation to Account for Profits**

16.1 A director or senior officer who holds a disclosable interest (as that term is used in the Act) in a contract or transaction into which the Company has entered or proposes to enter is liable to account to the Company for any profit that accrues to the director or senior officer under or as a result of the contract or transaction only if and to the extent provided in the Act.

**Restrictions on Voting by Reason of Interest**

16.2 A director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company has entered or proposes to enter is not entitled to vote on any directors' resolution to approve that contract or transaction, unless all the directors have a disclosable interest in that contract or transaction, in which case any or all of those directors may vote on such resolution.

**Interested Director Counted in Quorum**

16.3 A director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company has entered or proposes to enter and who is present at the meeting of directors at which the contract or transaction is considered for approval may be counted in the quorum at the meeting whether or not the director votes on any or all of the resolutions considered at the meeting.

**Disclosure of Conflict of Interest or Property**

**Professional Services by Director or Officer**

16.7 Subject to the Act, a director or officer, or any person in which a director or officer has an interest, may act in a professional capacity for the Company, except as auditor of the Company, and the director or officer or such person is entitled to remuneration for professional services as if that director or officer were not a director or officer.

**Director or Officer in Other Corporations**

16.8 A director or officer may be or become a director, officer or employee of, or otherwise interested in, any person in which the Company may be interested as a shareholder or otherwise, and, subject to the Act, the director or officer is not accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefits received by him or her as director, officer or employee of, or from his or her interest in, such other person.

**Part 17<br> PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS**

**Meetings of Directors**

17.1 The directors may meet together for the conduct of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings as they think fit, and meetings of the directors held at regular intervals may be held at the place, at the time and on the notice, if any, as the directors may from time to time determine.

**Voting at Meetings**

17.2 Questions arising at any meeting of directors are to be decided by a majority of votes and, in the case of an equality of votes, the chair of the meeting does not have a second or casting vote.

**Chair of Meetings**

17.3 The following individual is entitled to preside as chair at a meeting of directors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the chair of the board, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in the absence of the chair of the board, the president, if any, if the president is a director; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any other director chosen by the directors if:

&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) neither the chair of the board nor the president, if a director, is present at the meeting within 15 minutes after the time set for holding the meeting;

&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) neither the chair of the board nor the president, if a director, is willing to chair the meeting; 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;(iii) the chair of the board and the president, if a director, have advised the secretary, if any, or any other director, that they will not be present at the meeting.

**Place of Meetings**

17.4 Meetings of directors may be held at any place within or outside of Canada, or if so approved by all of the directors, such meeting may be held entirely by means of an electronic or other communication facility that permits all persons participating in the meeting to communicate adequately with each other to the extent permitted by the Act.

**Meetings by Telephone or Other Communications Medium**

17.5 A director may participate in a meeting of the directors or of any committee of the directors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) in person; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by telephone or by other communications medium if all directors participating in the meeting, whether in person or by telephone or other communications medium, are able to communicate with each other.

A director who participates in a meeting in a manner contemplated by this §17.5 is deemed for all purposes of the Act and these Articles to be present at the meeting and to have agreed to participate in that manner.

**Calling of Meetings**

17.6 A director may, and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company, if any, on the request of a director must, call a meeting of the directors at any time.

**Notice of Meetings**

17.7 Other than for meetings held at regular intervals as determined by the directors pursuant to §17.1, reasonable notice of each meeting of the directors, specifying the place, day and time of that meeting must be given to each of the directors by any method set out in §23.1 or orally or by telephone.

**When Notice Not Required**

17.8 It is not necessary to give notice of a meeting of the directors to a director if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the meeting is to be held immediately following a meeting of shareholders at which that director was elected or appointed, or is the meeting of the directors at which that director is appointed; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the director has waived notice of the meeting.

**Meeting Valid Despite Failure to Give Notice**

17.9 The accidental omission to give notice of any meeting of directors to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any director, does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

**Waiver of Notice of Meetings**

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

**Quorum**

**Reset Calculation**

28.3 The Incentive Dividend Threshold shall be reset quarterly (the "**Reset Calculation**") on the first Business Day of each Quarter (commencing with the first Quarter after the Quarter in which the Listing Date occurs), to be equal to the number that is the greater of (i) the Quarterly Market Value and (ii) the Incentive Dividend Threshold for the immediately preceding Quarter.

**Cumulative Payment of Incentive Dividend Amount**

28.4 To the extent that all or a portion of the Incentive Dividend Amount in respect of any Quarter is not declared and paid as Incentive Dividends, the holders of the Special Shares will continue to be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the board of directors, dividends on the Special Shares in an amount per Special Share equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid Incentive Dividend Amounts from all previous Quarters divided by the number of Special Shares then outstanding (such unpaid amount per Special Share being the "**Accrued Incentive Amount**"). If, as and when declared by the board of directors, any Accrued Incentive Amounts shall be declared and paid in priority with respect to the payment of any dividends on the Class A Shares and Class B Shares.

**Adjustment to Incentive Dividend Threshold**

28.5 In the event that there is (i) a cash dividend on the Class A Shares in any Quarter that exceeds the Regular Quarterly Dividend, (ii) any change in the number of Class A Shares outstanding from time to time as a result of a reverse split, subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, capital reorganization or similar change in the Class A Shares, as the case may be, (iii) a stock dividend or distribution with respect to Class A Shares in Class A Shares, (iv) an issuance of options, rights or warrants to holders of Class A Shares entitling them to purchase Class A Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Class A Shares at a price per Class A Share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than the Market Value of a Class A Share on the earlier of the applicable record date and the date on which Company publicly announces its intention to make such issuance, (v) a dividend or distribution to holders of Class A Shares of (a) securities of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company other than Class A Shares, (b) rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of the Company's or its subsidiaries' securities (other than those referenced in §28.5(iv)) or (c) cash, evidence of indebtedness, securities, non-cash dividends not otherwise made the subject of adjustments pursuant to this paragraph or other property or assets, (vi) a completion of a tender or exchange offer or substantial issuer bid by or on behalf of the Company (collectively, a "**Bid**") for the Class A Shares where the cash and value of other consideration included in the payment per Class A Share exceeds the Market Value of a Class A Share on the tenth day following the expiration of the Bid, or (vii) any similar event to the foregoing events affecting the value of Class A Shares (each such event, an "**IDT Adjustment Event**"), then the Incentive Dividend Threshold shall be adjusted as follows:

&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 board of directors shall make an appropriate adjustment to the Incentive Dividend Threshold immediately following the IDT Adjustment Event to ensure the calculation of the Incentive Dividend Amount after the IDT Adjustment Event is fair and reasonable;

&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 appropriate and necessary to ensure the fair treatment of the holders of the Special Shares, the board of directors shall make an appropriate adjustment to the Quarterly Market Value used for purposes of determining the Incentive Dividend Amount for any Quarter in which the Quarterly Market Value was affected by the IDT Adjustment Event.

28.6 Notwithstanding any other provision to §28.5, no adjustment shall be made in respect of an event otherwise requiring an adjustment under §28.5 except to the extent such event is actually consummated.

28.7 After an adjustment in the Incentive Dividend Threshold pursuant to §28.5, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under §28.5 shall cause an adjustment to such Incentive Dividend Threshold as so adjusted.

28.8 In addition, upon the occurrence of any event in respect of the Class B Shares that is similar in nature to an IDT Adjustment Event, the board of directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Incentive Dividend Threshold and/or Quarterly Market Value in a manner consistent with §28.5.

**Payment from Incentive Distribution Account**

28.9 The Company shall maintain a notional account (as may be adjusted as provided for herein, the "**Incentive Distribution Account**") that shall track the aggregate amount of any performance-based dividends, distributions or other profit entitlements that have been paid or are payable at any time or from time to time after the first day of the Quarter in which the Listing Date occurred by any Operating Entity or Holding Entity to any member of the Brookfield Group (as defined in the Master Services Agreement) with respect to Invested Capital in such Operating Entity or Holding Entity ("**Underlying Incentive Distributions**").

28.10 The amount of any Incentive Dividend Amount or Accrued Incentive Amount otherwise payable to the holders of Special Shares shall be reduced (but will not be reduced to less than zero) by any amount in the Incentive Distribution Account at the time the Incentive Dividend Amount or Accrued Incentive Amount, as applicable, is paid (any such amount, once applied to reduce an amount otherwise payable, an "**Applied Incentive Amount**"). The amount by which an Incentive Dividend Amount or Accrued Incentive Amount is reduced by an Applied Incentive Amount shall be adjusted on an equitable basis as necessary to take into account the benefit the Company would have received had the Underlying Incentive Distributions not been paid or payable. The Incentive Distribution Account shall be adjusted from time to time to deduct the amount of any Applied Incentive Amount or any clawback or similar amount paid or contributed to an Operating Entity or Holding Entity in respect of an Underlying Incentive Distribution.

**Payment in Class A Shares**

28.11 For any available Quarter in which the board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company has insufficient cash to pay an Accrued Incentive Amount or an Incentive Dividend Amount for such Quarter (in each case, after taking into account any Applied Incentive Amount), the board of directors may elect to pay all or a portion of the Accrued Incentive Amount or Incentive Dividend Amount by issuing a number of Class A Shares to the holders of the Special Shares equal to the amount of cash that would be otherwise paid to the holders of the Special Shares pursuant to §28.2 divided by the Market Value of a Class A Share on the date such election is made, provided that (A) any such election shall be made by the end of the applicable Quarter and (B) no fractional Class A Shares will be issued, and such number will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Class A Shares with the remainder payable to the holders of the Special Shares in cash.

28.12 The holders of the Special Shares may elect, in their sole discretion, to reinvest any Incentive Dividends or Accrued Incentive Amounts paid or payable by the Company in exchange for a number of Class A Shares equal to the amount of cash that would be otherwise paid to the holders of the Special Shares divided by the Market Value of a Class A Share on the date that such Incentive Dividend or Accrued Incentive Amount, as the case may be, is declared.

**Waiver of Incentive Dividends**

28.13 In any Quarter the holders of the Special Shares may, in their sole discretion, waive their entitlement to any Incentive Dividend declared by the board of directors, in which case the Incentive Dividend Amount or portion thereof that was otherwise to be paid by way of such Incentive Dividend shall not constitute Accrued Incentive Amounts and shall not accrue to subsequent Quarters.

**<u>voting</u>**

**Voting Rights**

28.14 Subject to applicable Law, the holders of Special Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend but shall not be entitled to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company.

28.15 In addition to any other approval required by Law, the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the Special Shares as a class may be added to, changed or removed but only with the approval of the holders of the Special Shares given as hereinafter specified.

28.16 The approval of the holders of the Special Shares to add to, change or remove any right, privilege, restriction or condition attaching to the Special Shares as a class or in respect of any other matter requiring the consent of the holders of the Special Shares may be given in such manner as may then be required by Law, subject to a minimum requirement that such approval be given by resolution signed by all the holders of the Special Shares or passed by the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the votes cast at a meeting of the holders of the Special Shares duly called for that purpose. On every poll taken at every meeting of the holders of the Special Shares as a class, or at any joint meeting of the holders of two or more series of Special Shares, each holder of Special Shares entitled to vote thereat shall have one vote in respect of each Special Share held.

**Liquidation Rights**

28.17 Subject to applicable Law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) upon a Liquidation Event, the holders of the Special Shares shall be entitled to receive, subject to the rights of the holders of Class A Preferred Shares and any other class of shares of the Company ranking in priority to the Special Shares, all Accrued Incentive Amounts before any amounts shall be paid or any assets of the Company distributed to the Class A Shareholders or Class B Shareholders or any other shares ranking junior to the Special Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) after payment of any Accrued Incentive Amounts, the holders of the Special Shares shall then be entitled to distributions of the property and assets of the Company (which distributions shall be paid, *pari passu*, to the holders of the Class A Shares and Class B Shares and any other class of shares ranking on a parity with the Class A Shares and Class B Shares) until the holders of the Special Shares have received an amount per share equal to Regular Quarterly Dividend, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) after payment of the amounts in (b) above, the holders of the Special Shares shall then be entitled to receive any Incentive Dividend Amount for the Quarter in which the Liquidation Event has occurred, before any additional amounts shall be paid or any property or assets of the Company are distributed to the holders of the Class A and Class B Shares and over any other shares ranking junior to the Special Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) after payment of the amounts in (c) above, the holders of the Special Shares shall be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the Class A Shares and Class B Shares and any other class of shares ranking on a parity with the Class A Shares and Class B Shares in the remaining property and assets of the Company.

4. **Amendment to Article 7** 

Article 7 is hereby amended by adding the following provisions:

**7.4** **Redemption by the Partnership** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4.1 Subject to any applicable Laws and the due exercise of the Call Right pursuant to Section 7.5, the
Partnership will have the right, on the Effective Date, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Public Units for
an amount per unit equal to the Cash Consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4.2 If the Partnership exercises its right to redeem Public Units under this Section 7.4, and, subject
to the exercise of the Call Right, the Partnership will cause to be delivered to the Public Unitholders the Cash Consideration for each
Public Unit so redeemed upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Partnership or at any office of the Transfer Agent
of the certificates (if any) representing such Public Units, together with such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent
may reasonably require. Payment of the aggregate Cash Consideration payable to a Public Unitholder will be made by delivery to such Public
Unitholder, at the address of such Public Unitholder recorded in the register of the Partnership or by holding for pick-up by the Public
Unitholder at the registered office of the Partnership or at any office of the Transfer Agent. Provided that such aggregate Cash Consideration
has been so deposited on or before the Effective Date in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, the Public
Units will be redeemed and the rights of the Public Unitholders thereof on and after the Effective Date will be limited to receiving their
proportionate part of the aggregate Cash Consideration for such Public Units so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said
certificates held by them in accordance with the foregoing provisions and the Public Unitholders will not be entitled to exercise any
of the rights of Public Unitholders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the Cash Consideration for each Public Unit redeemed.

**7.5** **Call Right** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.1 Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.5.2, the Corporation will have the overriding right
(the "**Call Right** "), notwithstanding the right of the Partnership to redeem the Public Units pursuant to Section 7.4
hereof, to purchase (on the Effective Date) Public Units on payment by the Corporation of the Class A Consideration for each such
Public Unit. In the event of the exercise by the Corporation of its Call Right, each Public Unitholder will be obligated to sell all the
Public Units which are subject to the Call Right held by such Public Unitholder to the Corporation on the Effective Date on payment by,
or on behalf of the Corporation, to such Public Unitholder of the Class A Consideration for each such Public Unit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.2 The Corporation must provide notice of its intention to exercise its Call Right immediately after the
Partnership exercises its right to redeem Public Units under Section 7.4. If the Corporation duly exercises its Call Right in accordance
with this Section 7.5, the right of the Partnership to redeem those Public Units which are subject to the Call Right pursuant to
Section 7.4 on the Effective Date will terminate at such time and, on the Effective Date, the Corporation will purchase and the Public
Unitholders of such Public Units will sell all of the Public Units subject to the Call Right in accordance with this Section 7.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.3 For the purposes of completing a purchase of the Public Units pursuant to the exercise of the Call Right,
the Corporation will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Transfer Agent, on or before the Effective Date, the aggregate Class A
Consideration deliverable by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.5.1. Provided that the aggregate Class A Consideration has
been so deposited, on and after the Effective Date, the Public Unitholders will cease to be Unitholders of such Public Units and will
not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of Public Unitholders in respect thereof other than the right to receive such Public Unitholder's
portion of the aggregate Class A Consideration and such Public Unitholder will on and after the last Business Day prior to such Effective
Date be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the securities delivered to them as part of the Class A Consideration
which such Public Unitholder is entitled. Upon presentation to the Transfer Agent of the documents and instruments as may be required
to effect a transfer of Public Units under the Limited Partnership Act, the Agreement and such additional documents and instruments as
the Transfer Agent and the Partnership may reasonably require, the Public Unitholder will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor,
and the Transfer Agent on behalf of the Corporation will deliver to such Public Unitholder, the Class A Consideration. If the Corporation
does not exercise the Call Right in the manner described above, on the Effective Date a Public Unitholder will be entitled to receive
in exchange therefor the Cash Consideration otherwise payable by the Partnership in connection with the redemption of the Public Units
pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.4 For greater certainty, the Corporation and/or its Affiliates may undertake such transactions as may be
necessary or desirable in order to deliver, or cause to be delivered, all or a portion of the Class A Shares to Public Unitholders
in accordance with Section 7.5.3, provided such transactions are not prejudicial to the rights or interests of any Public Unitholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.5 Each Public Unitholder, by virtue of becoming and being such a Public Unitholder, will be deemed to acknowledge
the Call Right in favour of the Corporation and the overriding nature thereof and to be bound thereby in favour of the Corporation as
herein provided.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.6 For greater certainty, the transfer of Public Units of the Partnership
as described in Section 3.1(c) and (f) of the Plan of Arrangement shall take place pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement
and not in connection with the exercise of the Call Right.

**7.6** **Dissent Rights** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.1 Subject to this Section 7.6, any Unitholder may dissent in respect of the Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.2 In addition to any other right the Unitholder may have, a Unitholder who complies with this Section 7.6
is entitled, after the Transaction is completed, to be paid by the Partnership the fair value of the Units held by the Unitholder, determined
as of the close of business on the day before the Resolutions were adopted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.3 A dissenting Unitholder may only claim under this Section 7.6 with respect to all of the Units held
by the Unitholder and registered in the name of the dissenting Unitholder at the record date set by the General Partner in respect of
the Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.4 A dissenting Unitholder shall send to the Partnership, at least two days prior to the Meeting, a written
objection to the Resolutions, unless the Partnership did not give notice to the Unitholder of the purpose of the Meeting and of the Unitholder's
right to dissent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.5 The Partnership shall, within ten days after the Unitholders adopt the Resolutions, send to each Unitholder
who has filed the objection referred to in Section 7.6.4 notice that the Resolutions have been adopted, but such notice is not required
to be sent to any Unitholder who voted for or abstained from voting for the Resolutions or who has withdrawn its objection (and, for greater
certainty, a Unitholder who voted for or abstained from voting for the Resolutions or who has withdrawn its objection will not be considered
a dissenting Unitholder).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.6 A dissenting Unitholder entitled to receive notice under Section 7.6.5 shall, within twenty days
after receiving such notice, or, if the dissenting Unitholder does not receive such notice, within twenty days after learning that the
Resolutions have been adopted, send to the Partnership a written notice containing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the dissenting Unitholder's name and address;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the number of Units in respect of which the dissenting Unitholder dissents; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a demand for payment of the fair value of such Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.7 Not later than the thirtieth day after the sending of a notice under Section 7.6.6, a dissenting
Unitholder shall send the certificates representing the Units held by the Unitholder to the Partnership or its Transfer Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.8 A dissenting Unitholder who fails to comply with Section 7.6.7 has no right to make a claim under
this Section 7.6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.9 The Partnership or its Transfer Agent shall endorse on any certificate received under Section 7.6.7
a notice that the Unitholder is a dissenting Unitholder under this Section 7.6 and shall return forthwith the certificates to the
dissenting Unitholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.10 On sending a notice under Section 7.6.6, a dissenting Unitholder ceases to have any rights as a Unitholder
other than the right to be paid the fair value of the Units as determined under this Section 7.6 except where:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the dissenting Unitholder withdraws the notice before the Partnership makes an offer under Section 7.6.11;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Partnership fails to make an offer in accordance with Section 7.6.11 and the dissenting Unitholder
withdraws the notice; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms,

in which case the dissenting Unitholder's rights are reinstated as of the date the dissenting Unitholder sent the notice referred to in Section 7.6.6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.11 The Partnership shall, not later than seven days after the later of the
day on which the action approved by the Resolutions is effective or the day the Partnership received the notice referred to in Section 7.6.6,
send to each dissenting Unitholder who has sent such notice a written offer to pay for the dissenting Unitholder's Units in an amount
considered by the board of directors of the General Partner to be the fair value, accompanied by a statement showing how the fair
value was determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.12 Every offer made under Section 7.6.11 for Units shall be on the same terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.13 The Partnership shall pay for the Units of a dissenting Unitholder within 10 days after an offer made
under Section 7.6.11 has been accepted, but any such offer lapses if the Partnership does not receive an acceptance thereof within
30 days after the offer has been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.14 Where the Partnership fails to make an offer under Section 7.6.11, or if a dissenting Unitholder
fails to accept an offer, the Partnership may, within 50 days after the action approved by the Resolutions is effective or within such
further period as a court may allow, apply to a court to fix a fair value for the Units of any dissenting Unitholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.15 If the Partnership fails to apply to a court under Section 7.6.14, a dissenting Unitholder may apply
to a court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as a court may allow.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.16 The only court where an application under Sections 7.6.14 or 7.6.15 shall
be made is the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.17 A dissenting Unitholder is not required to give security for costs in an application made under Sections
7.6.14 or 7.6.15.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.18 On an application under Sections 7.6.14 or 7.6.15:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) all dissenting Unitholders whose Units have not been purchased by the Partnership shall be joined as parties
and bound by the decision of the court; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Partnership shall notify each affected dissenting Unitholder of the date, place and consequences of
the application and of the dissenting Unitholder's right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.19 On an application to a court under Sections 7.6.14 or 7.6.15, the court may determine whether any other
person is a dissenting Unitholder who should be joined as a party, and the court shall then fix a fair value for the Units of all dissenting
Unitholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.20 A court may in its discretion appoint one or more appraisers to assist the court to fix a fair value for
the Units of the dissenting Unitholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.21 The final order of a court in the proceedings commenced by an application under Sections 7.6.14 or 7.6.15
shall be rendered against the Partnership in favour of each dissenting Unitholder and for the amount of the Units as fixed by the court.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.22 If Section 7.6.24 applies, the Partnership shall, within ten days after the pronouncement of an order
under Section 7.6.21, notify each dissenting Unitholder that it is unable lawfully to pay dissenting Unitholders for their Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.23 If Section 7.6.24 applies, a dissenting Unitholder, by written notice delivered to the Partnership
within thirty days after receiving a notice under Section 7.6.22, may

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) withdraw their notice of dissent, in which case the Partnership is deemed to consent to the withdrawal
and the Unitholder is reinstated to their full rights as a Unitholder; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) retain a status as a claimant against the Partnership, to be paid as soon as the Partnership is lawfully
able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of the Partnership but in priority to its Unitholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.24 The Partnership shall not make a payment to a dissenting Unitholder under this section if there are reasonable
grounds for believing that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Partnership is or would after the payment be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the realizable value of the Partnership's assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its
liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.25 The provisions of Section 9.5 shall apply *mutatis mutandis* to any payment to a Unitholder
under this Section 7.6.

5. **Effective Date** 

This Amendment shall be effective at the time it is stated to become effective pursuant to Section 3.1(g) the Plan of Arrangement.

6. **Governing Law** 

This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which shall be construed together as one agreement.

**[Remainder of this page left blank intentionally.]**

**IN WITNESS WHEREOF**, the General Partner has executed this Amendment as of the 27<sup>th</sup> day of March, 2026.

In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.1 words importing the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, words importing gender shall include all genders or the neuter, and words importing the neuter shall include all genders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.2 the words "include", "includes", "including", or any variations thereof, when following any general term or statement, are not to be construed as limiting the general term or statement to the specific items or matters set forth or to similar items or matters, but rather as referring to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of the general term or statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.3 references to any Person include such Person's successors and permitted assigns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.4 except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any reference in this Agreement to a statute, regulation, policy, rule or instrument shall include, and shall be deemed to be a reference also to, all rules and regulations made under such statute, in the case of a statute, all amendments made to such statute, regulation, policy, rule or instrument and to any statute, regulation, policy, rule or instrument that may be passed which has the effect of supplementing or superseding the statute, regulation, policy, rule or instrument so referred to;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.5 any reference to this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument shall be construed as a reference to this Agreement or, as the case may be, such other agreement, document or instrument as the same may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, varied, replaced, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3.7 except where otherwise expressly provided, all amounts in this Agreement are stated and shall be paid in U.S. currency.

**1.4** **Invalidity of Provisions** 

Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement is distinct and severable and a declaration of invalidity or unenforceability of any such provision or part thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect. The parties will engage in good faith negotiations to replace any provision which is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable provision which it replaces.

**1.5** **Entire Agreement** 

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no warranties, conditions, or representations (including any that may be implied by statute) and there are no agreements in connection with such subject matter except as specifically set forth or referred to in this Agreement. No reliance is placed on any warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact made either prior to, contemporaneous with, or after entering into this Agreement, or any amendment or supplement hereto, by any party to this Agreement or its directors, officers, employees or agents, to any other party to this Agreement or its directors, officers, employees or agents, except to the extent that the same has been reduced to writing and included as a term of this Agreement, and none of the parties to this Agreement has been induced to enter into this Agreement or any amendment or supplement by reason of any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact. Accordingly, there will be no liability, either in tort or in contract, assessed in relation to any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of fact, except to the extent contemplated above.

**1.6** **Waiver, Amendment** 

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no waiver of this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision nor will any waiver of any provision of this Agreement constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. A party's failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect except by a written agreement signed by BBUC and Brookfield (so long as Brookfield owns any Shares) and the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares.

**1.7** **Governing Law** 

This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Each party irrevocably attorns and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario courts situated in the City of Toronto and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or any argument that such court provides an inconvenient forum.

**Article 2**

**REGISTRATION RIGHTS**

**2.1** **Demand Registration** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.1 <u>Request for Registration</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Commencing on the date hereof, any Holder shall have the right to require BBUC to file a Registration
Statement and/or a Prospectus for a public offering of all or part of its Registrable Shares (a "**Demand Registration** "),
by delivering to BBUC written notice stating that such right is being exercised, naming the Holders whose Registrable Shares are to be
included in such registration (collectively, the "**Demanding Shareholders** "), specifying the number of each such Demanding
Shareholder's Registrable Shares to be included in such registration and, subject to Section 2.1.3 hereof, describing the intended
method of distribution thereof (a "**Demand Request** ").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Demand Request shall specify the aggregate number of Registrable Shares proposed to be sold. Subject
to Section 2.1.6, BBUC shall file a Registration Statement and/or Prospectus in respect of a Demand Registration as soon as practicable
and, in any event, within forty-five (45) days after receiving a Demand Request (the "**Required Filing Date**") and shall
use reasonable best efforts to cause the same to be declared Effective as promptly as practicable after such filing; provided, however,
that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) BBUC shall not be obligated to file a Registration Statement or a Prospectus in respect of a Demand Registration
pursuant to Section 2.1.1(a) within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date of a previous Demand Registration, other than a
Shelf Registration pursuant to this Article 2; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) BBUC shall not be obligated to file a Registration Statement or a Prospectus in respect of a Demand Registration
pursuant to Section 2.1.1(a) unless the Demand Request is for (A) a number of Registrable Shares with a market value that
is equal to at least $50,000,000 as of the date of such Demand Request, or (B) all of the Registrable Shares then held by the Demanding
Shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.2 <u>Shelf Registration</u>. With respect to any Demand Registration, the Requesting Holders may request BBUC to file a Shelf Prospectus or effect a Shelf Registration, provided that BBUC is permitted to do so under Canadian Securities Laws and/or U.S. Securities Laws, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.3 <u>Selection of Underwriters</u>. At the request of a Requesting Holder, the offering of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Demand Registration shall be in the form of a "firm commitment" underwritten offering. The Requesting Holder shall select the investment banking firm or firms to manage the underwritten offering; provided that such selection shall be subject to the consent of BBUC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Holder may participate in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1.1 unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements described above and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties in connection with any such registration other than representations and warranties as to (i) such Holder's ownership of Registrable Shares to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, (ii) such Holder's power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with Securities Laws as may be reasonably requested; provided, further, however, that the obligation of such Holder to indemnify pursuant to any such underwriting arrangements shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders selling Registrable Shares, and the liability of each such Holder will be in proportion thereto, and provided, further, that such liability will be limited to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of its Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.4 <u>Rights of Non-Requesting Holders</u>. Upon receipt of any Demand Request, BBUC shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) days) give written notice of such proposed Demand Registration to all other Holders, who shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to BBUC within twenty (20) days of their receipt of BBUC's notice, to elect to include in such Demand Registration such portion of their Registrable Shares as they may request. All Holders requesting to have their Registrable Shares included in a Demand Registration in accordance with the preceding sentence and all Demanding Shareholders shall be deemed to be "**Requesting Holders**" for purposes of this Section 2.1. BBUC shall also have the right to issue and sell Shares in such Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.5 <u>Priority on Demand Registrations</u>. No securities to be sold for the account of any Person (including BBUC) other than a Requesting Holder shall be included in a Demand Registration unless the managing underwriter or underwriters shall advise the Requesting Holders in writing that the inclusion of such securities will not adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the offering or otherwise adversely affect its success (an "**Adverse Effect**"). Furthermore, if the managing underwriter or underwriters shall advise the Requesting Holders that, even after exclusion of all securities of other Persons (including BBUC) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of Registrable Shares proposed to be included in such Demand Registration by Requesting Holders is sufficiently large to cause an Adverse Effect, the Registrable Shares of the Requesting Holders to be included in such Demand Registration shall equal the number of Registrable Shares which the Requesting Holders are so advised can be sold in such offering without an Adverse Effect and such Registrable Shares shall be allocated pro rata among the Requesting Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration by each such Requesting Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.6 <u>Deferral of Filing</u>. BBUC may defer the filing (but not the preparation) of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, required by Section 2.1 until a date not later than ninety (90) days after the Required Filing Date if (a) at the time BBUC receives the Demand Request, BBUC is engaged in confidential negotiations or other confidential activities, disclosure of which would be required in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable (but would not be required if such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, were not filed), and the Board of Directors of BBUC determines in good faith that such disclosure would be materially detrimental to BBUC and its shareholders, (b) prior to receiving the Demand Request, BBUC had determined to effect a registered underwritten public offering of BBUC's securities for BBUC's account and BBUC has taken substantial steps (including, but not limited to, selecting a managing underwriter for such offering) and is proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect such offering, or (c) at the time BBUC receives the Demand Request, BBUC is currently engaged in a self-tender or exchange offer and the filing of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, would cause a violation of applicable Securities Laws. A deferral of the filing of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.1.6 shall be lifted, and the requested Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, shall be filed forthwith, if, in the case of a deferral pursuant to clause (a) of the preceding sentence, the negotiations or other activities are disclosed, otherwise become publicly known, or are terminated, or, in the case of a deferral pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence, the proposed registration for BBUC's account is abandoned. In order to defer the filing of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.1.6, BBUC shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) days), upon determining to seek such deferral, deliver to the Requesting Holders a certificate signed by an officer of BBUC or the Board of Directors of BBUC stating that BBUC is deferring such filing pursuant to this Section 2.1.6 and a general statement of the reason for such deferral and an approximation of the anticipated delay. Within twenty (20) days after receiving such certificate, the Requesting Holder may withdraw such Demand Request by giving notice to BBUC; if withdrawn, the Demand Request shall be deemed not to have been made for all purposes of this Agreement. BBUC may defer the filing of a particular Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.1.6 only once.

**2.2** **Piggyback Registrations** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.1 <u>Right to Piggyback</u>. Each time BBUC proposes to (a) register any of its equity securities (other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration) under Canadian Securities Laws or U.S. Securities Laws for sale to the public (whether for the account of BBUC or the account of any securityholder of BBUC or (b) sell any of its equity securities (other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration) and with respect to which a Shelf Registration or Shelf Prospectus is expressly being utilized to effect such sale, (clause (a) and (b) are each referred to as a "**Piggyback Registration**"), BBUC shall give prompt written notice to each Holder of Registrable Shares, which notice shall offer each such Holder the opportunity to include any or all of its Registrable Shares in such Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, subject to the limitations contained in Section 2.2.2 hereof. Each Holder who desires to have its Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, shall so advise BBUC in writing (stating the number of Registrable Shares desired to be registered) within three (3) days after the date of such notice from BBUC (or within one (1) Business Day in the case of a "bought deal" financing). Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Holder's request for inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Shares in any Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 by giving written notice to BBUC of such withdrawal provided, however, that such request is made prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement (or similar agreement) with respect to such offering. Subject to Section 2.2.2 below, BBUC shall include in such Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, all such Registrable Shares so requested to be included therein; provided, however, that BBUC may at any time withdraw or cease proceeding with any such registration or sale if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration or sale of all other equity securities originally proposed to be registered or sold. Each Holder shall protect and maintain the confidentiality of all information communicated to it by BBUC concerning a proposed Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 until such information becomes available in the public domain.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2.2 <u>Priority on Piggyback Registrations</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, and if the managing underwriter advises BBUC
that the inclusion of Registrable Shares requested to be included in a Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable,
would cause an Adverse Effect, BBUC shall only be required to include such number of Registrable Shares in such Registration Statement,
Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, as such underwriter advises in writing would not cause an Adverse Effect, with priority
given as follows: (i) first, the securities BBUC proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included
in such Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of
the number of Registrable Shares owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, any other securities requested to be included in such
Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus. If as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.2.2(a) any Holder
shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus that such Holder
has requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder's request to include Registrable Shares in such Registration
Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No Holder may participate in any Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable,
in respect of a Piggyback Registration hereunder unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder's Registrable Shares on
the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by BBUC and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents, each in customary form, reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties in connection
with any such registration other than representations and warranties as to (A) such Holder's ownership of Registrable Shares
to be sold or transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, (B) such Holder's power and authority to effect
such transfer, and (C) such matters pertaining to compliance with applicable Securities Laws as may be reasonably requested; provided,
further, however, that the obligation of such Holder to indemnify pursuant to any such underwriting arrangements shall be several, not
joint and several, among such Holders selling Registrable Shares, and the liability of each such Holder will be in proportion thereto,
and provided, further, that such liability will be limited to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of its Registrable
Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus.

**2.3** **Short-Form Filings** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Shelf Registration Statement</u>. BBUC shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Demand Registrations
in the United States to be registered on a shelf registration statement on an appropriate form (including, but not limited to, Form F-10,
Form F-3 or Form S-3, as may be applicable, or their successor forms, but excluding Form S-8, Form S-4 or Form F-4,
or their successor forms, or any other form for a similar purpose) once BBUC becomes eligible to use any such form, and BBUC shall use
its reasonable best efforts to remain so eligible to use any such form.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Short-Form Prospectus</u>. BBUC shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Demand Registrations
in Canada to be qualified by way of a short-form Prospectus prepared pursuant to the POP System if, at the time of such Demand Registration,
BBUC is a POP Issuer and is able to do so in all of the provinces and territories in which the Demand Registration is to be effected.
For greater certainty, it is acknowledged that in the event that BBUC is not a POP Issuer or is unable to utilize the POP System in one
or more Canadian provinces or territories in which the Demand Registration is to be effected, BBUC shall proceed by way of long-form Prospectus.

**2.4** **Registration Procedures** 

Whenever any Holder has requested that any Registrable Shares be registered pursuant to this Agreement, BBUC will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as promptly as is practicable, and pursuant thereto BBUC will as expeditiously as possible:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) prepare and file, pursuant to Section 2.1.1(b) with respect to any Demand Registration, subject
to Section 2.3, a Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, with respect to such Registrable Shares and use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, to become Effective; provided that as far in advance as
practicable before filing such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or any amendment or supplement thereto, BBUC will
furnish to the selling Holders copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents prepared to be filed (including exhibits), and
any such Holder shall have the opportunity to object to any information contained therein and BBUC will make corrections reasonably requested
by such Holder with respect to such information prior to filing any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or any amendment
or supplement thereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) except in the case of a Shelf Registration or Shelf Prospectus, prepare and file with the SEC or the applicable
Canadian Commissions, such amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable,
as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, effective for a period of not less than one hundred
eighty (180) days (or such lesser period as is necessary for the underwriters in an underwritten offering to sell unsold allotments) and
comply with the provisions of the applicable Securities Laws with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration
Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof
set forth in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) in the case of a Shelf Registration or Shelf Prospectus, prepare and file with the SEC or the applicable
Canadian Commissions, as applicable, such amendments and supplements to such Shelf Registration or Shelf Prospectus, as applicable, as
may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration or Shelf Prospectus, as applicable, effective and to comply with the provisions of the
applicable Securities Laws with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares subject thereto for a period ending on the earlier
of (i) twenty four (24) months after the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which all the Registrable Shares subject thereto
have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration or Shelf Prospectus, as applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) furnish to each seller of Registrable Shares and the underwriters of the securities being registered such
number of copies of such Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable (in the English language and, if required,
the French language), each amendment and supplement thereto, any documents incorporated by reference therein and such other documents
as such seller or underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Shares owned by such seller
or the sale of such securities by such underwriters (it being understood that, subject to Section 2.5 and the requirements of the
applicable Securities Laws, BBUC consents to the use of the Registration Statement, Shelf Registration and Prospectus, as applicable,
and any amendment or supplement thereto by each seller and the underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable
Shares covered by the Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Shares under such other securities
or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the managing underwriter reasonably requests (or, in the event the Registration
Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, does not relate to an underwritten offering, as the holders of a majority
of such Registrable Shares may reasonably request); use its reasonable best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or
exemption therefrom) effective during the period in which such Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable,
is required to be kept effective; and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each
seller to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Shares owned by such seller in such jurisdictions (provided, however, that BBUC
will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) notify each seller of Registrable Shares and each underwriter and (if requested by any such Person) confirm
such notice in writing (i) when any supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable,
has been filed following the Effective Date, and when the same has become effective, (ii) of the issuance by any state securities
or other regulatory authority of any order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Shares
under state securities or "blue sky" laws or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, and (iii) of the happening
of any event which makes any statement made in the Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, untrue or
which requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, or documents
so that they will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC
and the applicable Canadian Commissions (as applicable) and furnish a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement, Shelf Registration
or Prospectus, as applicable, so that, as thereafter deliverable to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such Registration Statement,
Shelf Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) permit any selling Holder, which in such Holder's sole and exclusive judgment, might reasonably
be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of BBUC, to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement, Shelf
Registration or Prospectus, as applicable, and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to BBUC in writing, which in the
reasonable judgment of such Holder and its counsel should be included;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) make reasonably available personnel, as selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares
included in such registration, for assistance in the selling effort relating to the Registrable Shares covered by such registration, including,
but not limited to, the participation of such members of BBUC's management in road show presentations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable Securities Laws, and make generally
available to BBUC's securityholders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the U.S. Securities
Act no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the twelve (12) month period beginning with the first day of BBUC's first fiscal
quarter commencing after the Effective Date, which earnings statement shall cover said twelve (12) month period, and which requirement
will be deemed to be satisfied if BBUC timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 20-F and 6-K under the Exchange Act which
otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the U.S. Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) if requested by the managing underwriter or any seller of Registrable Shares, promptly incorporate in
a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or any seller reasonably requests to
be included therein, including, without limitation, with respect to the Registrable Shares being sold by such seller, the purchase price
being paid therefor by the underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable Shares to
be sold in such offering, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) after filing of any document which is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or Prospectus,
as applicable (in the form in which it was incorporated), deliver a copy of each such document to each seller of Registrable Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) cooperate with the sellers of Registrable Shares and the managing underwriter to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under applicable law) representing
securities sold under any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, and enable such securities to be in such denominations
and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or such sellers may request and keep available and make available to BBUC's
transfer agent prior to the Effective Date a supply of such certificates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative
retained by any such seller or underwriter (collectively, the "**Inspectors** "), all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of BBUC (collectively, the "**Records** "), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable
them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause BBUC's officers, directors and employees to supply all information
requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable; provided, however, that,
unless the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement or Prospectus,
as applicable, or the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction,
BBUC shall not be required to provide any information under this subparagraph (m) if (i) BBUC believes, after consultation with
counsel for BBUC, that to do so would cause BBUC to forfeit an attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information or (ii) if
either (x) BBUC has requested and been granted from the SEC or a Canadian Commission confidential treatment of such information contained
in any filing with the SEC or a Canadian Commission or documents provided supplementally or otherwise or (y) BBUC reasonably determines
in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies the Inspectors in writing, unless prior to furnishing any such information
with respect to clause (ii) such Holder of Registrable Shares requesting such information agrees to enter into a confidentiality
agreement in customary form and subject to customary exceptions; and provided, further, that each Holder of Registrable Shares agrees
that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to BBUC and allow
BBUC, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) furnish to each seller of Registrable Shares and underwriter a signed counterpart of (i) an opinion
or opinions of counsel to BBUC, (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from BBUC's independent auditors, addressed to the
underwriters, each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the
case may be, as the managing underwriter reasonably requests, and (iii) if a Prospectus is filed in Quebec, opinions of Quebec counsel
to BBUC and the auditors of BBUC addressed to the Holder and the underwriter or underwriters of such distribution relating to the translation
of the Prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) cause the Registrable Shares included in any Prospectus or Registration Statement, as applicable, to be
listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the New York Stock Exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares registered
hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Shares and each underwriter participating in the disposition
of such Registrable Shares and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r) during the period when the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, is required to be delivered
under the applicable Securities Laws, promptly file all documents required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or with the Canadian Commissions pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(s) notify each seller of Registrable Shares promptly of any request by the SEC or a Canadian Commission for
the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or for additional information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(t) enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements in the managing underwriter's customary
form) as are customary in connection with an underwritten registration; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(u) advise each seller of such Registrable Shares, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge
thereof, of the issuance of any stop order or ruling by the SEC or a Canadian Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable
best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order
should be issued.

**2.5** **Suspension of Dispositions** 

Each Holder agrees by acquisition of any Registrable Shares that, upon receipt of any notice (a "**Suspension Notice**") from BBUC of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.4(f)(iii) such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or until it is advised in writing (the "**Advice**") by BBUC that the use of the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, and, if so directed by BBUC, such Holder will deliver to BBUC all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's possession, of the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, covering such Registrable Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event BBUC shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of Registration Statements or Prospectuses, as applicable, set forth in Sections 2.4(b) and 2.4(c) hereof shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of the Suspension Notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or the Advice. BBUC shall use its reasonable best efforts and take such actions as are reasonably necessary to render the Advice as promptly as practicable.

**2.6** **Registration Expenses** 

All fees and expenses incident to any registration including, without limitation, BBUC's performance of or compliance with this Article 2, all registration and filing fees, all fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with FINRA (including, if applicable, the reasonable fees and expenses of any "qualified independent underwriter" and of its counsel), as may be required by the rules and regulations of FINRA, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or "blue sky" laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with "blue sky" qualifications of the Registrable Shares), rating agency fees, printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Shares and of printing prospectuses), messenger and delivery expenses, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with any listing or quotation of the Registrable Shares, fees and expenses of counsel for BBUC and its independent auditors (including the expenses of any special audit or "cold comfort" letters required by or incident to such performance), the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by BBUC in connection with such registration, and the fees and expenses of other persons retained by BBUC, will be borne by BBUC (unless paid by a security holder that is not a Holder for whose account the registration is being effected) whether or not any Registration Statement or Prospectus becomes Effective; provided, however, that any underwriting discounts, commissions, or fees attributable to the sale of the Registrable Shares will be borne by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Shares so registered and the fees and expenses of any counsel, accountants, or other persons retained or employed by any Holder will be borne by such Holder.

**2.7** **Indemnification** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7.1 BBUC agrees to indemnify and reimburse, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each seller of Registrable Shares, and each of its employees, advisors, agents, representatives, partners, officers, and directors and each Person who Controls such seller and any agent or investment advisor thereof (collectively, the "**Seller Affiliates**") (a) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, joint or several (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements except as limited by Section 2.7.3) based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, and (c) against any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) as may be reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon, arising out of, related to or resulting from any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, or violation of the Securities Laws, to the extent that any such expense or cost is not paid under subparagraph (a) or (b) above; except insofar as any such statements are made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with information furnished in writing to BBUC by such seller or any Seller Affiliate for use therein or arise from such seller's or any Seller Affiliate's failure to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after BBUC has furnished such seller or Seller Affiliate with a sufficient number of copies of the same. The reimbursements required by this Section 2.7.1 will be made by periodic payments during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7.2 In connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus in which a seller of Registrable Shares is participating, each such seller will furnish to BBUC in writing such information and affidavits as BBUC reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each such seller will indemnify BBUC and each of their respective employees, advisors, agents, representatives, partners, officers and directors and each Person who Controls BBUC, as applicable (excluding such seller or any Seller Affiliate) and any agent or investment advisor thereof against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements except as limited by Section 2.7.3) resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such seller or any of its Seller Affiliates specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be several, not joint and several, among such sellers of Registrable Shares, and the liability of each such seller of Registrable Shares will be in proportion to, and will be limited to, the net amount received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable; provided, however, that such seller of Registrable Shares shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, such seller has furnished in writing to BBUC information expressly for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously furnished to BBUC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7.3 Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit the rights of such Person) and (b) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person, or (iii) such counsel has been retained due to a conflict as described below. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party as permitted hereunder, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions hereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim unless (A) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party without any admission of liability on the part of such indemnified party or (B) the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim (together with appropriate local counsel), unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such additional counsel or counsels.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7.4 Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 2.7.1 or Section 2.7.2 are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, liabilities, or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.7.4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.7.4. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 2.7.3, defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.7.4, no Holder shall be required to contribute an amount greater than the dollar amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holder with respect to the sale of any Registrable Shares exceeds the amount of damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any and all untrue or alleged untrue statements of material fact or omissions or alleged omissions of material fact made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto related to such sale of Registrable Shares. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders' obligations in this Section 2.7.4 to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of Registrable Shares registered by them and not joint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7.5 If indemnification is available under this Section 2.7, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Section 2.7.1 and Section 2.7.2 without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration provided for in Section 2.7.4 subject, in the case of the Holders, to the limited dollar amounts set forth in Section 2.7.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7.6 The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities.

**2.8** **Transfer of Registration Rights** 

The rights of each Holder under this Agreement may, in the Holder's discretion, be assigned, in whole or in part, to any direct or indirect transferee of all or any portion of such Holder's Registrable Shares who agrees in writing to be subject to and bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For greater certainty, in the case of a transfer of less than all of such Holder's Registrable Shares, no such assignment will limit or otherwise impair the transferor's rights under this Agreement.

 Facility, any Borrower shall notify the Lenders of such request by written Borrowing Request
 substantially in the form of Exhibit A not later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto
 time) three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing
 Request shall be irrevocable. The Lenders are entitled to rely upon and act upon any Borrowing
 Request given or purportedly given by any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby waives the right
 to dispute the authenticity and validity of any such transaction once the Lenders have advanced
 funds based on such Borrowing Request. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following
 information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the aggregate amount of the requested
 Borrowing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the date of such Borrowing, which shall
 be a Business Day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) whether such Borrowing is to be a U.S. Base
 Rate Borrowing, a SOFR Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Borrowing or a CORRA Borrowing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) in the case of a CORRA Borrowing or a
 SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, which shall
 be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period"; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the location and number of the Borrower's
 account to which funds are to be disbursed.

2.3.2 Each CORRA Borrowing and SOFR Borrowing
 under the Credit Facility initially shall have the Interest Period specified in the applicable
 Borrowing Request. Thereafter, a Borrower must elect a new Interest Period therefor. A Borrower
 may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
 and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. To make
 an election pursuant to this Section 2.3.2, a Borrower shall notify the Lenders of such
 election by a Borrowing Request required under Section 2.3.1 as if the Borrower were
 requesting a Borrowing to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Borrowing
 Request shall be irrevocable. In addition to the information specified in Section 2.3.1,
 each Borrowing Request shall specify the Borrowing to which such request applies and, if
 different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions
 thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing. If no election is made pursuant to this
 Section 2.3.2 at the end of an Interest Period applicable to any CORRA Loan or SOFR
 Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected an Interest Period of one month
 for such CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan for the immediately following Interest Period.

2.3.3 Each CORRA Borrowing and SOFR Borrowing
 will be subject to Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12.

**2.4** **Interest** 

2.4.1 The Loans under the Credit Facility comprising
 each U.S. Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual
 number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be)
 at a rate per annum equal to the U.S. Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time
 to time in effect.

2.4.2 The Loans under the Credit Facility comprising
 each Canadian Prime Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number
 of days elapsed over a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate
 per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in
 effect.

2.4.3 The Loans under the Credit Facility comprising
 each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days
 in the relevant Interest Period over a year of 360 days) at Adjusted Term SOFR for the
 Interest Period in effect for such SOFR Loans plus the Applicable Margin.

2.4.4 The Loans under the Credit Facility comprising
 each CORRA Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days
 in the relevant Interest Period over a year of 365 days) at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted
 Daily Compounded CORRA or Adjusted Term CORRA for the Interest Period in effect for such
 CORRA Loans plus the Applicable Margin.

2.4.5 The applicable U.S. Base Rate, Canadian
 Prime Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Adjusted Daily Compounded CORRA and Adjusted Term CORRA shall
 be determined by the Lenders, and such determination shall, absent manifest error, constitute *prima facie* evidence thereof.

2.4.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event
 of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Loans shall bear interest to the extent permitted
 by Applicable Law, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus
 the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan. All other amounts owing under this Agreement
 shall bear interest at an interest rate equal to the one month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 4.75%
 per annum.

2.4.7 Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable
 in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and upon termination of the Credit Commitment, and
 in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal
 amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

2.4.8 All interest hereunder shall be payable
 for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
 Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

2.4.9 For the purposes of the *Interest Act* (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder
 or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of any period of time that is
 less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation
 is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar
 year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360, 365 or 366, as applicable.
 The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or
 yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation
 under this Agreement.

2.4.10 If any provision of this Agreement would
 oblige any Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Lenders
 in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Law or would result in
 a receipt by the Lenders of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such
 terms are construed under the *Criminal Code* (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such
 provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect
 to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited
 by Law or so result in a receipt by the Lenders of "interest" at a "criminal
 rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent
 necessary), as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) first, by reducing the amount or rate
 of interest required to be paid to the Lenders under Section 2.4; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions,
 premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lenders which would constitute interest
 for purposes of Section 347 of the *Criminal Code* (Canada).

**2.5** **Evidence of Debt** 

2.5.1 The Lenders shall maintain accounts in which
 they shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the relevant Interest
 Periods applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable
 or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to such Lender hereunder, and (iii) the
 amount of any sum received by such Lender hereunder.

2.5.2 The entries made in the accounts maintained
 pursuant to Section 2.5.1 shall be *prima facie* evidence (absent manifest error)
 of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure
 of the Lenders to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect
 the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans and all other amounts payable in connection
 therewith, including interest and fees, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

**2.6** **Automatic Renewal, Termination and Reduction of Credit Commitment** 

2.6.1 On April 27 of each year, the Maturity
 Date shall be automatically extended for successive periods of one (1) year unless the
 Lenders provide the Borrowers with written notice ten (10) Business Days' prior
 to the relevant renewal date of their intention not to further extend the Maturity Date.

2.6.2 Unless previously terminated, the commitment
 of the Lenders with respect to the Credit Facility will terminate on the Maturity Date and
 the Borrowers must repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility together with
 all interest and fees payable hereunder on the Maturity Date.

2.6.3 Any Borrower may, upon three Business Days
 prior written notice to the Lenders, permanently cancel any unused portion of the Credit
 Facility without penalty. Any cancellation shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000. Each
 notice delivered by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6.3 shall be irrevocable.

**2.7** **Repayment of Loans** 

Each Borrower hereby unconditionally jointly and severally promises to pay to the Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date that the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 7.1) together with all interest accrued thereon and other amounts outstanding under this Agreement.

**2.8** **Mandatory Repayments** 

If at any time the Lenders determine that the U.S. Dollar Amount outstanding under the Credit Facility exceeds the Credit Facility Amount, then upon written notice from the Lenders to such effect, the Borrowers will, within 24 hours, make a prepayment of the Credit Facility in an amount equal to such excess.

**2.9** **Voluntary Prepayments** 

Any Borrower may, from time to time at its option, prepay any Loan without premium or penalty or permanently reduce the Available Credit of the Credit Facility, provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any prepayment is in an amount equal to
 a minimum of $100,000 depending upon the currency of repayment and any reduction is in a
 minimum amount of $100,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Borrower pays concurrently with any
 such prepayment all interest accrued on the amount prepaid together with breakage costs,
 if any, incurred by the Lenders as a result of any such prepayment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Lenders receive written notice of
 such prepayment, at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment and specifying
 the amount and date of such prepayment. Any such notice shall be irrevocable and the Borrowers
 shall be bound to prepay in accordance with such notice.

**2.10** **Alternate Rate of Interest** 

Subject to Section 2.12, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a CORRA Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Lenders determine that adequate and
 reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining CORRA or SOFR for such Interest Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Lenders determine that CORRA or SOFR
 for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of
 making or maintaining CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest
 Period;

then the Lenders shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers by telephone as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Lenders notify the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the continuation of any Borrowing as an affected CORRA Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing shall be deemed to request conversion to a Canadian Prime Borrowing or U.S. Base Rate Borrowing (as applicable), and (ii) any Borrowing Request that requests an affected CORRA Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Borrowing or U.S. Base Rate Borrowing (as applicable).

**2.11** **Benchmark Replacement** 

2.11.1 *<u>Benchmark Replacement Setting</u>* .
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, if a

 consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document and (y) if
 a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition
 of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark
 Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Financing

 on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided
 to the Borrowers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party
 to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document so long as the Lenders have not received,
 by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from any Borrower.
 If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable
 on a quarterly basis.

2.11.2 *<u>Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.</u>* In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lenders
 will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and,
 notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, any amendments

 or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in
 their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case,
 as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11.

2.11.4 *<u>Unavailability of Benchmark</u>* .
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, at any
 time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if
 the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either
 (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service

 Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a SOFR
 Borrowing, or conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued

 During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current
 Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of U.S. Base Rate based upon the then-current
 Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination
 of U.S. Base Rate.

**2.12** **Canadian** **Benchmark Replacement** 

2.12.1 <u>Replacing Future Canadian Benchmarks</u>.
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Document, if a
 Canadian Benchmark Transition Event and its related Canadian Benchmark Replacement Date have

 Unavailability Period in respect of the Term CORRA Reference Rate, Daily Compounded CORRA
 Loans, and (ii) for a Canadian Benchmark Unavailability Period in respect of a Canadian
 Benchmark other than the Term CORRA Reference Rate, Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

**2.13** **Increased Costs; Illegality** 

2.13.1 If any Change in Law shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any
 reserve, special deposit, additional capital, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
 requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
 a Lender or any of its lenders; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) impose on a Lender or any of its lenders
 any other condition affecting this Agreement or any cost or charge directly or indirectly
 incurred by such Lender in connection with a Loan hereunder (including the imposition on
 such Lender or any of its lenders of, or any change to, any Tax other than an Excluded Tax
 or other charge with respect to its or their CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans or participation therein,
 or its obligation to make CORRA Loans or SOFR Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

2.13.2 If a Lender determines that any Change
 in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
 return on such Lender's capital as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made
 by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender would have achieved but for such Change
 in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to return on
 capital) prior to the occurrence of such Change in Law, then from time to time the Borrowers
 will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
 for any such reduction suffered.

2.13.3 A certificate of a Lender setting forth
 the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in Sections 2.13.1
 or 2.13.2 shall be delivered to the Borrowers, and any such certificate shall include a brief
 description of the Change in Law and a calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to
 compensate such Lender and shall, absent manifest error, be *prima facie* evidence of
 the amount of such compensation. In preparing any such certificate, a Lender shall be entitled
 to use averages and to make reasonable estimates, and shall not be required to "match
 contracts" or to isolate particular transactions. The Borrowers shall pay each applicable
 Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

2.13.4 Failure or delay on the part of a Lender
 to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall not constitute a waiver of
 such Lender's right to demand such compensation; <u>provided</u> that the Borrowers
 shall not be obligated to pay any such amount demanded by a Lender which is attributable
 to periods prior to the date which is 90 days preceding the date of such demand.

2.13.5 In the event that a Lender shall have determined
 (which determination shall be reasonably exercised and shall, absent manifest error, constitute *prima facie* evidence thereof) at any time that the making or continuance of any SOFR
 Loan has become unlawful or materially restricted as a result of compliance by such Lender
 in good faith with any applicable Law, then, in any such event, such Lender shall give prompt
 notice (by telephone and confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers of such determination. Upon
 the giving of the notice to the Borrowers referred to in this Section 2.13.5, the Borrowers'
 right to request (by continuation or otherwise), and such Lender's obligation to make,
 SOFR Loans shall be immediately suspended, and thereafter any requested Borrowing of SOFR
 Loans shall be deemed to be a request for a U.S. Base Rate Loan and if the affected SOFR
 Loans are then outstanding, the Borrowers shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable
 Law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one Business Day prior written
 notice to the Lenders, convert each such affected SOFR Loan into a U.S. Base Rate Loan.

**2.14** **Breakage Costs** 

In the event of (a) the failure by a Borrower to borrow, convert or continue any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant hereto, or (b) the payment or conversion of any principal of any CORRA Loan or SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or prepayment), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate the Lenders for all loss, costs and expenses that the Lenders incur in connection with such event (including all loss, costs and expenses that the Lenders incur under their own credit facilities), as determined by the Lenders. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence thereof. The Borrowers shall pay the applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

**2.15** **Withholding Tax Indemnity** 

Any and all payments required to be made by or on behalf of the Borrowers under this Agreement will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes or similar charges (collectively, the "**Withholdings**") unless such Withholdings are required to be made under applicable law. If a Borrower is so required to deduct or withhold any Withholdings from any amount payable to the Lenders and if such Withholdings are Indemnified Taxes:

2.15.1 The amount payable to the Lenders will
 be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required Withholdings, each Lender
 receives an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such Withholdings
 been withheld or deducted.

2.15.2 The applicable Borrower will remit the
 Withholdings to the appropriate taxation authority following its deduction or withholding
 prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto.

2.15.3 Within 30 days after such Withholdings
 have been remitted, the applicable Borrower will deliver to the applicable Lender evidence
 satisfactory to such Lender, acting reasonably, that the taxes or charges in respect of which
 such deduction or withholding was made have been remitted to the appropriate taxation authority.

2.15.4 The Borrowers will indemnify a Lender,
 within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
 Taxes paid by such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation
 of the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
 to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
 arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly
 or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant taxation authority. A certificate as to the
 amount of such payment or liability (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation
 of such amounts) delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender will be conclusive absent manifest
 error.

2.15.5 If a Lender is entitled to an exemption
 from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement,
 it shall deliver to the applicable Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested in
 writing by such Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation so requested
 as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
 In addition, a Lender, if reasonably requested in writing by any Borrower, shall deliver
 such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or so requested by such Borrower as
 will enable such Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
 or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding
 two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than
 such documentation set forth in Sections 2.15.6 and 2.15.7 below) shall not be required
 if in a Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would
 subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice
 the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

2.15.6 Without limiting the generality of Section 2.15.5,
 in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Borrower:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if a Lender is a U.S. Person it shall
 deliver to such Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes party to this
 Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower),
 executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal
 backup withholding tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if a Lender is a Foreign Lender it shall,
 to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower (in such number of
 copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
 Lender becomes party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
 request of such Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming
 the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with
 respect to payments of interest under this Agreement, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E
 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to
 the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
 applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption
 from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the "business
 profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming
 the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
 IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Appendix E-1 to the effect that
 such Foreign Lenders is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
 the IRC, a "10 percent shareholder" of BBP within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of
 the IRC, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of
 the IRC (a "**U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate**") and (y) executed originals
 of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Appendix E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

2.15.7 If a payment made to a Lender under this
 Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such
 Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including
 those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable),
 such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at
 such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower such documentation prescribed by
 applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC)
 and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower as may be necessary
 for such Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender
 has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold
 from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15.7, "FATCA" shall
 include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

2.15.8 Each Lender agrees that if any form or
 certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.15 expires or becomes
 obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly
 notify the applicable Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

2.15.9 If, following the imposition of any Indemnified
 Taxes on any payment by the applicable Borrower to a Lender in respect of which such Borrower
 is required to make an additional payment pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender
 receives or is granted a credit against or remission for or deduction from or in respect
 of any taxes or charges paid by it or obtains any other relief which, in such Lender's
 opinion, is both reasonably identifiable and quantifiable by it without imposing an unacceptable
 administrative burden on it (any of the foregoing being a "saving"), such Lender
 will reimburse such Borrower with such amount as such Lender will have concluded, in its
 absolute discretion but in good faith, to be the amount or value of the relevant saving but
 only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower
 under this Section 2.15 with respect to Withholdings giving rise to such refund or reduction,
 net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any net
 after-tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).
 Nothing herein contained will interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its affairs
 in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, the Lenders will not be under any obligation
 to claim relief for tax purposes on its corporate profits or otherwise, or to claim such
 relief in priority to any other claims, relief, credits or deductions available to it or
 to disclose details of its affairs. Each Lender will notify the applicable Borrower promptly
 of the receipt by such Lender of any such saving and of such Lender's opinion as to
 the amount or value thereof, and any reimbursement to be made by such Lender will be made
 promptly on the date of receipt of such saving by such Lender or, if later, on the last date
 on which the applicable taxation authority would be able in accordance with applicable law
 to reclaim or reduce such saving. The applicable Borrower, upon the request of a Lender,
 agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other
 charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is
 required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. This will not
 be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information
 relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

**2.16** **Payments Generally** 

The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, amounts payable under any of Sections 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lenders, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. The Borrowers shall make payments to the Lenders in accordance with instructions provided by the Lenders to the Borrowers.

**2.17** **Currency Indemnity** 

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Document, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the "**Judgment Currency**") any amount due under this Agreement or under any other Financing Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the "**Currency Due**"), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose "rate of exchange" means the rate at which a Lender is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency in accordance with its normal practice. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by the Lenders of the amount due, the Borrowers will, on the date of receipt by the Lenders, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by the Lenders on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by the Lenders is the amount then due under this Agreement or such other Financing Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which a Lender is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, the Borrowers shall indemnify and save such Lender harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Lenders from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or any other Financing Document or under any judgment or order.

**2.18** **Addition of Borrowers** 

BBP may elect from time to time to designate another Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder subject to delivering to the Lenders a signed accession agreement in the form required by the Lenders and from and after the date of such designation, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a "Borrower" and "Obligor" hereunder.

**Article 8<br> GUARANTEES**

**8.1** **Guarantees** 

To induce the Lenders to execute and deliver this Agreement and to make or maintain the Credit Facility in favour of the Borrowers, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (this "**Obligor Guarantee**") to the Lenders due and punctual payment and performance to the Lenders upon demand made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of all debts, liabilities and obligations of or owing by the Borrowers to the Lenders at any time and from time to time, present and future, direct and indirect, absolute and contingent, matured or not, arising from this Agreement, and whether as principal or surety, and including without limitation, all liabilities of the Borrowers arising as a consequence of their failure to pay or fulfil any of such debts, liabilities and obligations (collectively, the "**Guaranteed Obligations**").

**8.2** **Indemnity** 

In addition to the guarantee specified in Section 8.1, each Obligor agrees to indemnify and save the Lenders harmless from and against all reasonable costs, losses, expenses and damages it may suffer as a result or consequence of, any Borrower's default in the performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any inability by the Lenders to recover the ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to the Lenders in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including without limitation, reasonable legal fees incurred by or on behalf of the Lenders resulting from any action instituted on the basis of this Obligor Guarantee.

**8.3** **Payment and Performance**

 pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations, each of the other Borrowers and the Guarantors
 will unconditionally render any such payment or performance upon demand in accordance with
 the terms of this Obligor Guarantee.

8.3.2 Nothing but payment and satisfaction in
 full of the Guaranteed Obligations will release a Borrower or Guarantor from its obligations
 under this Obligor Guarantee.

**8.4** **Continuing Obligation** 

This Obligor Guarantee will be a continuing guarantee, will cover all the Guaranteed Obligations, and will apply to and secure any ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to the Lenders. This Obligor Guarantee will continue to be binding regardless of:

 renewal, extension, supplement, continuation or waiver of this Agreement or any provision
 or term hereof;

 will cease to be so liable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the validity or enforceability of any
 of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

 Obligations has been made and where such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
 upon the occurrence of any action or event, including the insolvency or bankruptcy of any
 Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

**8.5** **Obligor Guarantee Unaffected** 

This Obligor Guarantee will not be determined or affected, nor will the Lender's rights under this Obligor Guarantee be prejudiced by, the termination of any Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of any Obligor, or any change in the name, business, powers, capital structure, constitution, objects, organization, directors or management of any Obligor, with respect to transactions occurring either before or after such change. This Obligor Guarantee is to extend to the liabilities of the Person or Persons for the time being and from time to time carrying on the business now carried on by any Obligor, notwithstanding any reorganization of any Obligor or any Additional Guarantor or the amalgamation of any Obligor or any Additional Guarantor with one or more other corporations (in this case, this Obligor Guarantee will extend to the liabilities of the resulting corporation and the terms "Borrower", "Guarantor", "Obligor" and "Additional Guarantor", as applicable, will include such resulting corporation) or any sale or disposal of any Obligor or Additional Guarantor's business in whole or in part to one or more other Persons and all of such liabilities will be included in the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Obligor agrees that the manner in which the Lenders may now or subsequently deal with any other Obligor, any Additional Guarantor or any security (or any collateral subject to the security) or other guarantee in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations will have no effect on such Obligor's continuing liability under this Obligor Guarantee and each Obligor irrevocably waives any rights it may have in respect of any of the above.

Each Obligor waives each of the following, to the fullest extent permitted by Law:

 for the Guaranteed Obligations; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Lenders' present or future method

**8.8** **Action or Inaction** 

Except as provided at Law, no action or omission on the part of the Lenders in exercising or failing to exercise their rights under this Article 8 or in connection with or arising from all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations will make the Lenders liable to any Obligor for any loss occasioned to such Obligor.

 in the event of any assignment pursuant to Section 9.4.2 or the addition of any new

 unreimbursed expenses and costs incurred by them and indemnification amounts owing to them,

 owing to it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) second, to pay all accrued but unpaid interest
 and breakage costs owing to the Lenders, on a *pro rata* basis based on the respective
 amounts owing to them;

**9.6** **Senior Indebtedness** 

The obligations hereunder are intended to (a) be "senior indebtedness" of the Obligors, (b) rank *pari passu* with other senior indebtedness of the Obligors, and (c) rank in priority to any obligations of the Obligors that are by their terms expressly subordinated.

**9.8** **Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness** 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Financing Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lenders, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lenders and when the Lenders shall have received the counterpart hereof which, when taken together, bears the Obligors' signatures, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed original counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

**9.9** **Severability** 

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

**9.10** **Right of Set Off**

The rights of the Lenders under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) which the Lenders may have.

 or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any other Financing Document
 or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby
 irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding
 may be heard and determined in Ontario. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment
 in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions
 by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Nothing in this Agreement
 shall affect any right that the Lenders may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
 relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document against an Obligor or its properties
 in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

9.11.3 Each of the Obligors hereby irrevocably
 and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
 objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
 proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the Province of Ontario. Each
 of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law,
 any *forum non conveniens* defence to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in
 any such court.

9.11.4 Each party to this Agreement irrevocably
 consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing
 in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in
 any other manner permitted by Law.

**9.12** **Waiver of Jury Trial** 

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

**9.13** **Headings**

 of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to
 each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors, including accountants,

 that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature
 of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
 extent requested by any Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable

 available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (z) becomes available
 to such Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Obligors and which
 source is not bound by similar confidentiality obligations. For the purposes of this Section,
 "**Information**" means all information received from the Obligors relating
 to the BBP Group Members or their respective businesses, other than any such information
 that is available to such Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by an Obligor.
 Each Lender shall be considered to have complied with its obligation hereunder if it has
 exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
 such Lender would accord to its own confidential information.

**9.15** **Patriot Act** 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, the Lenders hereby notify the Obligors that they is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Obligors, which information includes the name and address of the Obligors and other information that will allow the Lenders to identify the Obligors in accordance with the Patriot Act.

## Exhibit 99.24

**Exhibit 99.24**

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img001.jpg)

**CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS**

**March 2026**

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

**SUMMARY OF THE CODE'S PRINCIPLES<sup>1</sup>**

**Protecting the Company's Assets, Resources and Data**

· We often have sensitive confidential information about Brookfield, other
companies, our Clients <sup>2</sup> and investors, our directors, officers
and employees; preserving the integrity of this information is vital to our business and reputation and is necessary to meet our obligations
under data protection laws.

· Electronic communications relating to business activities may not be conducted
through electronic communication systems that have not been specifically approved for business activities, including (among others) personal
email accounts, personal text messaging, non-approved chat forums, and social media.

· Employees must complete mandatory data protection training and mitigate
cybersecurity risks by being vigilant about opening attachments or clicking on links.

**Accuracy of Books and Records and Public Disclosures**

· We should take care that our books and records are accurate and that all
of our business transactions are properly authorized.

· As a public company, we have duties to our shareholders and must ensure
that our communications and other disclosures to the market are true and accurate.

**Duties to Stakeholders**

· At Brookfield, our reputation is everything and we should act responsibly
in dealings with our securityholders, customers, Clients, investors, suppliers, other stakeholders and competitors.

· We have obligations to our Clients and must manage their capital as though
it were our own.

**Communications and Media**

· In this digital era, be careful in your written communications made over
company information systems, such as email and messaging applications, as this is a permanent record.

· You must ensure that your online activities, including your use of social
media, are appropriate and reflect well on Brookfield.

<sup>1</sup> These principles are for summary purposes only. For more detailed information on each of these items consult the Code attached. <br><sup>2</sup> "Clients" include among others, private funds, listed issuers and separate accounts.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

**Conflicts of Interest and Personal Behavior**

· Brookfield is a global brand and as a representative of the company your
personal behavior must be consistent with our values.

· As a steward of third-party capital, be cognizant that we face a heightened
risk that one's personal interests may conflict with or appear to conflict with the interests of the company.

**Positive Work Environment**

· We value diversity, equity and inclusion, and we should all do our part
to maintain a respectful work environment where everyone feels safe, included and productive.

· Our success is dependent on establishing a workplace culture free from discrimination,
violence, harassment and other negative influences.

**Compliance with Laws, Rules, Regulations and Policies**

· We operate in many jurisdictions and are subject to different laws, rules and
regulations; you need to be aware of the laws that apply to your activities so that you can comply with them; ignorance of the law is
no excuse.

· The company has corporate policies that you must be familiar with, as they
govern your trading activities, business practices and other conduct while at Brookfield.

**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**

**Why Do We Have a Code?**

The Code serves as a guide for how you should conduct yourself as a member of the Brookfield team. Preserving our corporate culture and ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory and fiduciary duties is vital to the organization and following the Code helps us do that.

**Who Must Follow the Code?**

All directors, officers, employees and temporary workers of Brookfield Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and certain perpetual and other controlled affiliates who have not adopted their own Code of Conduct or other policies that are consistent with the provisions of this Code, as further described in the "*Introduction*" section of the Code.

**What Are Your Responsibilities?**

You have two responsibilities. First, you must follow every aspect of the Code and certify your commitment each year. Second, if you suspect someone may be violating the Code or the policies referred to herein, you have an obligation to report it. To make a report, follow the section of the Code: "*Reporting Potential Code Violations*."

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

**How Will I Know if There is a Problem?**

The Code attempts to deal with the most common issues that you may encounter, but it cannot address every question that may arise. When you're not sure what to do, ask yourself the following questions:

· Is it illegal?

· Does it feel like the wrong thing to do?

· Would you feel uncomfortable if others knew about it?

· Will it have the potential to create a negative perception of you or the
company?

· Do you have a personal interest that has the potential to conflict with
the company's interest?

If you answer "yes" to any of these questions your proposed conduct may violate the Code and you should ask for help.

**How Should I Ask For Help?**

If you have questions about the Code, any policies or guidelines referred to herein, or about the best course of action to take in a particular situation, you should seek guidance from your supervisor or a member of Brookfield's Legal & Regulatory Group (a list of these members and their contact information is set forth on Schedule A).

**What if I Would Like to Make an Anonymous Report?**

You may make an anonymous report by contacting the company's reporting hotline, which is operated by an independent third-party and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Reporting Hotline phone numbers by jurisdiction are set forth on Schedule A. If you choose to make an anonymous report, your anonymity will be protected to the fullest extent possible as permitted by law. Keep in mind, however, that maintaining your anonymity may limit the company's ability to investigate your concerns.

**What are the Consequences for Violating the Code?**

Violations of the Code or the policies and guidelines incorporated by reference herein, can vary in its consequences. If you're an employee, it could result in a reprimand or other disciplinary action, including the termination of your employment at the company for cause. If you're a director, a violation may necessitate your resignation. Certain violations of the Code also contravene applicable laws and therefore can have severe consequences outside of Brookfield. Depending on your actions, failing to comply with the Code could lead to civil or criminal prosecution, which could result in substantial fines, penalties and/or imprisonment.

**INTRODUCTION**

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "**Code**") applies to all directors, officers, employees and temporary workers<sup>3</sup> (collectively, "**you**") of (i) Brookfield Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "**Corporation**"); (ii) certain perpetual affiliates (Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP, Brookfield Property Partners LP, Brookfield Renewable Partners LP, Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation, Brookfield Renewable Corporation and Brookfield Business Corporation) ("**Listed Entities**"); and (iii) any other controlled affiliate of the Corporation (together with the Listed Entities, the "**Controlled Affiliates**," and collectively with the Corporation, "**we**," "**us**," "**our**," "**Brookfield**" or the "**company**"), unless such Controlled Affiliate has adopted its own Code of Conduct and/or other policies that are consistent with the provisions of this Code.<sup>4</sup>

**STANDARDS OF BUSINESS CONDUCT**

Brookfield seeks to foster and maintain a reputation for honesty, openness, trust, integrity and professionalism. The confidence and trust placed in Brookfield by our Clients and investors is something we value greatly and endeavor to protect. In many respects, our reputation is our most vital business asset. Accordingly, all our activities should be conducted with honesty and integrity and in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We have adopted the Code and related policies and procedures to preserve our culture and to ensure compliance with legal, regulatory and fiduciary requirements applicable to our activities. We expect and require that you meet the letter and spirit of the Code (and related policies and procedures as updated and/or superseded from time to time). This Code incorporates by reference the following corporate policies and programs (including their jurisdictional variations, where applicable) which should be read in conjunction with the Code:<sup>5</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy* and regional versions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Anti-Money Laundering and Trade Sanctions Policy*;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Human Rights and Anti-Modern Slavery Policy*;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Data Protection Policy* and *Data Protection Program*;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Disclosure Policy*;

<sup>3</sup> For purposes of the Code, "temporary workers" include non-full-time employees and consultants and contractors etc. that work on our premises. The business group retaining a temporary worker is responsible for ensuring that the temporary worker certifies their commitment to comply with the Code.

<sup>4</sup> Where a Controlled Affiliate has adopted its own Code of Conduct and/or policies that are consistent with the provisions of this Code, the Controlled Affiliate's directors, officers, employees and temporary workers follow those policies, and, in case of a conflict, the terms of that Code control. Where a Controlled Affiliate has not adopted their own Code of Conduct and/or other policies that are consistent with the provisions of this Code, the Controlled Affiliate must review the Code and the policies in the context of their business to ensure that the Code and such policies are appropriate and address all legal and regulatory requirements and risks applicable to their business.

<sup>5</sup> All policies and programs referenced in the Code are available on the intranet.

**PROTECTING THE COMPANY'S ASSETS, RESOURCES AND DATA**

***The company's assets are to be used for legitimate business purposes only.***

The company's assets are for business, not personal use. The company's assets span many categories. Assets can be physical, tangible goods, such as office supplies, furniture, computers or intangible items, such as intellectual property. You have a responsibility to safeguard the company's assets from loss, damage, theft, misuse and waste. If you become aware of loss, damage, theft, misuse or waste of our assets, or have questions about your proper use of them, you should speak with your supervisor. The company's name (including its corporate letterhead and logo), facilities and relationships are valuable assets and must only be used for authorized company business.

If you use the company's assets for personal benefit or are otherwise wasteful with the company's assets, you may be in breach of your duty to the company. You have a responsibility not to abuse company resources for reimbursement. Any requests for reimbursement for authorized company expenses must be for legitimate business expenses. If you are unsure whether a certain expense is legitimate, you should speak with your supervisor or refer to the company's *Travel and Expense Policy*.

***Confidential information must be protected at all times.***

We must protect confidential information in our possession both information about us and information about other companies, and our Clients and investors. Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, material non-public information, all confidential memos, notes, lists, records and other documents in your possession, in hard and soft copy. All of these are to be delivered to the company promptly after your employment ceases or at any time upon the company's request, and your obligation to protect this information continues after you leave the company. You must protect hard and soft copies of confidential information that are removed from the office (e.g., to be worked with at home or at external meetings).

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

It is important to use discretion when discussing company business. This includes respecting information barrier protocols and discussing company business only with those individuals at the company that have a "need to know" the information. Additionally, be careful not to discuss company business in public places such as elevators, restaurants, and public transportation or when using your phone or email outside of the office. You should also be careful not to leave confidential information in unattended conference rooms or in public places where others can access it. You must complete mandatory data protection training and mitigate cybersecurity risks by being vigilant about opening attachments or clicking on links.

*Brookfield places high importance on combatting cybersecurity risk and, as such, conducts phishing simulations on a regular basis. The Company employs disciplinary protocols related to failures of its simulations, which are implemented at Brookfield's discretion. These protocols include penalties and other measures that escalate in severity for successive failures. These measures may include any or all of the following: informing your manager of the infraction; assigning of mandatory additional cybersecurity training (both live and online); written reprimands; reduction or elimination of your annual bonus and/or other discretionary awards; and termination of your employment.*

Please refer to the *Data Protection Program* for further information about how to protect confidential and personal data. While at Brookfield, if you become aware of confidential information about the company or another entity that you know or suspect has been inadvertently disclosed, seek guidance from a member of the Legal & Regulatory Group before using or acting upon this information.

***Personal data held by or on behalf of the company must be used in compliance with data protection laws.***

The company collects personal data regarding individuals both inside and outside the organization where we have the lawful basis for doing so. This is necessary to effectively and efficiently operate our business. Personal data<sup>6</sup> includes, among other things, sensitive personal, medical and financial information. We should take all reasonable steps to only hold personal data for as long as we have a need to retain it and in accordance with our *Data Protection Program*.

Collection and use of personal data are subject to various legal and regulatory requirements. You must take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is kept confidential and accessed only by those individuals at the company that have a need to know this information to carry out their duties. In addition, if it is necessary to the conduct of business to disclose personal data to a third-party (e.g., so that a third-party may provide services to the company or acquire an asset or business of the company) then you must ensure that such transfer complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. This may include ensuring the third-party is subject to a written agreement which contains confidentiality obligations and other obligations which must be included under the data protection laws of certain jurisdictions in which we operate or have Clients or investors. In all other cases, you may only disclose personal data pursuant to a legal or regulatory requirement.

<sup>6</sup> "Personal data" has the meaning given to it or any similar term in applicable data protection or privacy legislation.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

In the ordinary course, the company transfers personal data between jurisdictions in which the company operates, including outside the European Economic Area ("**EEA**"), United Kingdom, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, the Dubai International Financial Centre ("**DIFC**") and Singapore. If you transfer personal data outside the EEA, United Kingdom, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, the DIFC, Singapore, or the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia then you must ensure that it is permissible for you to do so (e.g., consent has been given by the individual or an appropriate data transfer agreement has been signed). In addition, you should ensure that the personal data is protected in a manner that is consistent with how personal data is protected by the company within these jurisdictions, and in any event in compliance with all applicable data protection laws.

You are responsible for ensuring that you understand and comply with our *Data Protection Program*. For more information about compliance with data protection laws, refer to the company's *Data Protection Policy* and related policies referred to in the *Data Protection Program*.

***Intellectual property belongs to the company.***

During the course of your employment, you may be involved in the creation, development or invention of intellectual property such as concepts, methods, processes, inventions, confidential information and trade secrets, know-how, physical products, ideas, plans, programs, software, applications, code, works of authorship, trademarks, service marks and designs, alone or jointly with others, including but not limited to the improvement of existing intellectual property belonging to the company. All such intellectual property and the rights therein shall be owned by the company and your moral rights to such intellectual property, if any, will be waived. You are responsible for cooperating with the company and providing all necessary assistance, including the preparation and execution of any necessary documentation such as assignments and applications to register rights before relevant government authorities on behalf of the company, to ensure that all intellectual property and related rights become or are recognized as the exclusive property of the company.

***The documents of the company must be preserved.***

It is critical that you help preserve our business records, follow the guidelines set forth in any document retention policies and comply with related legal and regulatory requirements. If you are notified that your documents are relevant to an anticipated or pending litigation, investigation or audit, you must follow the guidance set forth in the notification you receive from legal counsel regarding retention of documents.

***Ensure Generative Artificial Intelligence ("AI") Tools are used appropriately.***

Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Bard, Microsoft Copilot (including in Bing), Ernie, and other products with pre-trained language models are powerful tools that can benefit our business if used appropriately. The use of these tools, however, can present significant risks relating to the protection of confidential information and the reliability of AI generated outputs.

Any information inputted into a generative AI tool becomes incorporated into the model. This creates the potential for inputs to be owned by the product provider and for such inputs to be shared with other users outside the organization. Additionally, a generative AI tool is limited by the data available for its training. Such data may be incomplete or out of date, which can result in the model providing inaccurate or unreliable information.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

Other than as set out below, confidential, non-public, personal or proprietary information should not be shared with generative AI tools. This includes information relating to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Specific individuals,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Brookfield, including our clients, vendors, investors, counterparties or investee companies, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Information protected by trademark or copyright.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, confidential, non-public, private and/or proprietary information can be shared with generative AI tools that have been explicitly approved and made available for confidential internal use through Brookfield's internal Technology Services Group, subject to such guidelines and/or policies as may be prescribed.

Additionally, any output from a generative AI tool, including a version of an AI tool that has been approved for confidential internal use by the Technology Services Group, should be carefully reviewed and evaluated for its quality and accuracy. Brookfield and its employees remain responsible for the quality and accuracy of their work, including any judgments or decision making.

**ACCURACY OF BOOKS AND RECORDS AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURES**

***Ensure that the books and records of the company are complete and accurate and that all business transactions are properly authorized.***

The books and records of the company must reflect all its transactions in order to permit the preparation of accurate financial statements. Employees must never conceal information from (i) an external auditor; (ii) an internal auditor; or (iii) an audit committee of the company. In addition, it is unlawful for any person to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead an external auditor of the company.

The company's contracts and agreements govern our business relationships. Because the laws governing contracts and agreements are numerous and complicated, we have put in place policies and procedures to ensure that any contract entered into by the company has the appropriate level of approval. As a result, employees who enter into contracts or agreements on behalf of the company must have proper authorization to do so and, prior to their execution, these documents must be reviewed by legal counsel where required by policy or practice. If you are unsure whether you have proper authorization to enter into a contract on behalf of the company, refer to the company's *Signing Authority and Approval Thresholds Policy*.

***Ensure that the company provides full, true and plain public disclosure.***

All employees who are responsible for the preparation of the company's public disclosures, or who provide information as part of this process, must ensure that public disclosures of information are made honestly and accurately. Employees must be aware of and report any of the following: (a) fraud or deliberate errors in the preparation, maintenance, evaluation, review or audit of any financial statement or financial record; (b) deficiencies in, or noncompliance with, internal accounting controls; (c) misrepresentations or false statements in any public disclosure document, such as annual and quarterly reports, prospectuses, information/proxy circulars and press releases; or (d) deviations from full, true and plain reporting of the company's financial condition.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

Additionally, each person who is in a financial reporting oversight role, and their Family Members,<sup>7</sup> are prohibited from obtaining any tax or other services from the external auditor, irrespective of whether the company or such person pays for the services.

**DUTIES TO STAKEHOLDERS**

***Deal fairly with the company's stakeholders.***

You must deal fairly with the company's security holders, customers, Clients, suppliers, communities in which we operate, other stakeholders and competitors. To preserve our reputation and relationship with stakeholders, do not engage in any illegal or unethical conduct.

***Manage Client capital as though it were your own.***

The company has fiduciary responsibilities in managing the assets of its Clients. You must be careful to avoid even the appearance of impropriety when dealing with Clients and prospective Clients, and investors (and prospective investors) in Client accounts, or in performing any related activities. In this regard, you must avoid engaging in any activity that could result in an actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest and avoid any action that may be perceived as a breach of trust, unless such activity is resolved in accordance with a framework that was fully and fairly disclosed to and approved by the relevant stakeholders in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. A "conflict of interest" for this purpose occurs when the company's interest interferes, or even appears to interfere, with the interests of third party investors in their capacity as clients of the company.

**COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA**

***Use the company's various forms of communication properly and appropriately.***

All business matters communicated in writing must be conducted via the company's email system and/or through other systems provided and approved by the company for such use.<sup>8</sup> These systems must be installed by Brookfield's internal Technology Service Group on your devices. You must always use our e-mail, Internet, telephones and other forms of communication appropriately and professionally. Employees must comply with our *Enterprise Information Security Policy* and all related policies. While we appreciate the need for limited use of these tools for personal purposes, any such use should not be excessive or detract from your work. As outlined in the summary of the Code's principles, electronic communications relating to business activities may not be conducted through electronic communications system that have not been specifically approved for business activities, including (among others) personal email accounts, personal text messaging, non-approved chat forums and social media.

Employees should not email business information to their personal email accounts or maintain a copy of business information on their personal computers or other non-work electronic devices. When using company-provided technologies, such as computers, cell phones and voicemail, you should not expect that the information you send or receive is private. Your activity may be monitored to ensure these resources are used appropriately and are in compliance with the company's policies and laws and regulations; please refer to the *Employee and Personnel Data Protection Policy and Privacy Notice*.

<sup>7</sup> For the purposes of this Code, "Family Members" are your spouse, partner or other family members who live in the same dwelling as you.

<sup>8</sup> Brookfield's current approved systems include: Brookfield's Bloomberg Chat, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Jabber, WeCom by WeChat, WhatsApp Business and Kakao Talk. Additional systems may be approved over time.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

Employees should take care when on the company's email system, other systems and devices to ensure that no viruses, "trojan horses", malware or similar items are introduced into the systems or devices, including by clicking on links in phishing emails. You should exercise particular caution when opening unsolicited emails from unknown sources or an email which appears suspicious. Always report all suspicious messages using the 'Report Message' button in Microsoft Outlook. Promptly report any unusual behavior or issues with our IT equipment. Your vigilance is crucial in ensuring the integrity of our systems, especially if you use our IT equipment/devices outside the workplace, and you must take such precautions as we may require from time to time against importing viruses or compromising system security. The system contains information which is confidential and subject to data protection legislation. Such information must be treated with extreme care and in accordance with our *Data Protection Policy and Data Protection Program*.

***Be cautious in your use of social media.***

The company's social media policy is that, unless you are expressly authorized, you are strictly prohibited from commenting, or posting about, or otherwise discussing the company, its customers and Clients, its (and its Clients') investors, its employees, and its securities, investments and other business matters on all social media forums, including, but not limited to, social networks, chat rooms, wikis, virtual worlds and blogs (collectively, "**social media**"). You are a representative of Brookfield when engaging in online activities and you must ensure that your behavior online, including on social media, is appropriate and consistent with our values. For further details on the appropriate use of social media, you should refer to the company's *Enterprise Information Security Policy*.

***Do not speak on behalf of the company unless authorized to do so.***

As a public company, it is important to ensure our communications to the investing public are: (a) timely; (b) full, true and plain; and (c) consistent and broadly disseminated in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. You may not make public statements on Brookfield's behalf unless you have been designated as a "Spokesperson" under its *Disclosure Policy*. Each Controlled Affiliate has its own policy regarding public disclosures, and if you are a director, officer or employee at one of these entities (or are acting on their behalf) you should comply with such policy.

If a shareholder, financial analyst, member of the media or other third-party contacts you to request information, even if the request is informal, do not respond to it unless you are authorized to do so. In this event, refer the request to your supervisor or forward the request to an individual at the company employed in investor relations or communications. For further information, you should refer to the *Disclosure Policy* of the Corporation or a Controlled Affiliate, as applicable.

**CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND PERSONAL BEHAVIOR**

***Exhibit personal behavior that reinforces a positive image of you and the company.***

Your personal behavior, both inside and outside work, should reinforce a positive image of you, the company and its business activities. It is essential to use good judgment in all your personal and business dealings. You should refrain from engaging in activities that could hurt the company's reputation, or yours, and that could undermine the relationship of trust between you and the company or the company and its Clients. Employees who have acted inappropriately may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination for cause.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

***Remember your duties to Brookfield when participating in outside personal interests; obtain permission before pursuing business activities outside the scope of your role with the company.***

The company encourages directors and employees to be active participants in their community. While pursuing personal, political, not-for-profit activities or other like activities, be mindful that your participation in any outside interest must not prevent you from adequately discharging your duties to Brookfield and should not conflict with or otherwise be adverse to the company's interests. In addition, ensure that when you are involved in these activities you are not seen to be speaking or acting on behalf of the company without express authority.

"**Outside Business Activities**," otherwise known as "**OBAs**" include any business activities outside the scope of one's role with the company, including any activity as an employee, independent contractor, sole proprietor, officer, director, or partner of another business organization, regardless of whether compensation is involved. Employees must receive approval from their business unit and a member of the Legal & Regulatory Group prior to accepting an OBA. Directors of the company must advise the Chair of their Board of Directors prior to taking on any OBAs. Subject to any local regulatory requirements, prior approval is not required to serve on boards of charities or small, private family holding companies that have no relation to the company. For greater clarity, approval is not needed to serve on the board of a family holding company which is an extension of one's personal business affairs; however, it is needed to serve on the board of a private operating business with significant operations. When in doubt whether you need to obtain permission, consult with a member of the Legal & Regulatory Group.

***Avoid situations in which your personal interests conflict with the interests of the company, its Clients or investors in Client accounts.***

A "conflict of interest" for this purpose occurs when a person's private interest inclines the person, consciously or unconsciously, or appears to incline the person to act in a manner which is not in the interests of the company. You may have a conflict of interest if you are involved in any activity that prevents you from performing your duties to the company properly, or that may create a situation that could affect your ability to act objectively, effectively and in the best interests of the company, including due to among other things, personal interests or receipt of benefits from our relationships with companies, business partners, counterparties, investment banks, brokerage firms, service providers, and other constituencies. Accordingly, you must place the company's interest in any business matter ahead of any personal interest. Remember that the company's interest includes the company's obligations to its Clients.

You may also have a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest as a result of a "close personal relationship" with another employee at Brookfield. To ensure that these relationships are managed appropriately, and to deal with any possible conflicts of interest in an appropriate and responsible manner, you are expected to disclose the existence of such relationships to your Human Resources ("**HR**") department.

For the purposes of the Code, a close personal relationship includes, but is not limited to, relationships with a parent or parent equivalent (e.g., adoptive parent), close relative or friend, spouse, fiancée, common law, or anyone else with whom you are in, or have been in, a romantic or intimate relationship.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

The best way to judge whether you may have a conflict of interest is to ask yourself whether a well-informed person would reasonably conclude that your interest, activity or close personal relationship could in any way influence your decision or performance in carrying out a duty on behalf of the company. To avoid conflicts of interest, identify potential conflicts when they arise; contact the Legal & Regulatory Group if you are unsure whether a specific interest or activity gives rise to a conflict situation or contact HR to disclose any close personal relationship that may give rise to a conflict. Directors should consult with the Chair of their Board of Directors on conflicts matters. In addition, if you become aware of any conflict or potential conflict of another director, officer, or employee, you should consult HR, and the Legal & Regulatory Group or the Chair of your Board of Directors, as appropriate.

***Do not take corporate opportunities as your own personal opportunities.***

You are prohibited from taking personal advantage of a business or investment opportunity that you become aware of through your work at Brookfield. You owe a duty to the company to advance its interests when the opportunity arises, and you must not compete with the company in any way. Additionally, your personal trading activities must comply with the company's *Personal Trading Policy*.

**POSITIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT**

***Be committed to our respectful work environment free from discrimination,<sup>9</sup> violence<sup>10</sup> and harassment.<sup>11</sup>***

Brookfield is committed to promoting equal opportunities and diversity in the workplace. We value diversity, equity and inclusion, and we should all do our part to maintain our respectful work environment where everyone feels safe, included and productive. The company does not tolerate workplace discrimination, violence or harassment. All directors, officers and employees must work to ensure that the company is a safe and respectful environment where high value is placed on integrity, fairness and respect. For more information on the company's commitment to its positive work environment, refer to the company's *Positive Work Environment Policy*.

***You have a duty to report discrimination, violence and harassment.***

If you experience or become aware of what you believe to be discrimination, violence or harassment, you are expected to report it in accordance with the "*Reporting Potential Code Violations*" section of the Code and/or in accordance with the *Positive Work Environment Policy*. Reports of discrimination, violence or harassment will be taken seriously and investigated. If you are found to be discriminating against, acting or threatening to act violently towards, or harassing any individual at Brookfield, or if you knowingly condone the discrimination of, violence towards, or harassment of another individual, you will face corrective action up to and including termination without notice and for cause.

<sup>9</sup> "Discrimination" means the differential treatment of an individual or group based on prescribed characteristics protected by law. Prescribed characteristics generally include age, color, race, religion, sex, gender, marital status, ancestry, sexual orientation, national origin, disability. It does not matter whether the discrimination is intentional; it is the effect of the behavior that matters.

<sup>10</sup> "Violence" means an action (oral, written or physical) which causes, is intended to cause, could reasonably be interpreted as a threat to cause, or is capable of causing death or bodily injury to oneself or others, or property damage.

<sup>11</sup> "Harassment" means conduct which is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome and includes conduct (e.g., comments and actions) which would be perceived by a reasonable person as being hostile, humiliating or abusive or cause him/her torment. Harassment covers a wide range of conduct and includes sexual harassment, bullying and psychological harassment. Harassment may occur in a variety of ways and may, in some circumstances, be unintentional, but regardless of intent, all harassment negatively affects individual work performance and our workplace as a whole.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

We want to create a culture of reporting when it comes to discrimination, violence and harassment, as reporting is essential for us as a company to stamp out these behaviors. While we reserve the right to take corrective action if you knowingly make a false accusation about an innocent party, you will not face retaliation for making a good faith report or assisting in the investigation of a report.

***Be committed to ensuring the health and safety of fellow directors, officers and employees.***

We all have the right to work in an environment that is safe and healthy. In this regard, you must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) comply strictly with all occupational, health and safety laws and internal procedures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) not engage in illegal or dangerous behavior, including any acts or threats of violence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) not possess, distribute or be under the influence of drugs while on company premises or when conducting
company business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) not possess or use weapons or firearms or any type of combustible material in the company's facilities,
or at company-sponsored functions.

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger of serious bodily harm, first call local law enforcement authorities and then report the incident in accordance with the "*Reporting Potential Code Violations*" section of the Code and/or in accordance with the *Positive Work Environment Policy*.

**SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT**

Our sustainability strategy is centered on preserving and creating value for our investors and stakeholders— now and in the future. We manage our investments by combining economic goals with responsible citizenship. This is consistent with our longstanding investment philosophy and experience that conducting business with a long-term perspective in a sustainable and ethical manner maximizes value. It also requires maintaining a disciplined focus on integrating and operating with robust sustainability principles and practices. Our *Sustainability Policy* outlines our approach to sustainability and is based on the following guiding principles:

1. Mitigate the impact of our operations on the environment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Strive to minimize the environmental impact of operations and improve our efficient use of resources over
time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Support the goal of reaching net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 or sooner.

2. Strive to ensure the well-being and safety of employees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Foster a positive work environment based on respect for human rights, valuing diversity, and having zero
tolerance for workplace discrimination, violence or harassment.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Operate with leading health and safety practices to support the goal of zero serious safety incidents.

3. Uphold strong governance practices:

4. Be good corporate citizens:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Strive to ensure the interests, safety and well-being of the communities in which we operate are integrated
into our business decisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Support philanthropy and volunteerism by our employees.

***Human Rights and Anti-Modern Slavery***

We are committed to conducting business in an ethical and responsible manner, including by carrying out our activities in a manner that respects and supports the protection of human rights, including but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) operating with leading health and safety practices to support the goal of zero serious safety incidents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) striving to ensure that the interests, safety and well-being of the communities in which we operate are
integrated into our business decisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the elimination of discrimination in employment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the prohibition of child and forced labour; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the eradication of harassment and physical or mental abuse in the workplace.

We strive to embed these standards into all of our core business activities, including training, communications, contracts and due diligence processes set out in our *Sustainability Due Diligence Protocol and Vendor Management Program*. These practices extend to our interactions with our key suppliers and other business partners. For more information about our business practices and systems and controls to safeguard against modern slavery and human trafficking, please refer to the company's *Human Rights and Anti-Modern Slavery Policy*.

**COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS AND POLICIES**

***Know and comply with all laws, rules, regulations and policies applicable to your position.***

Our business is highly regulated, and the company is committed to compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies. Each of us must recognize our personal obligations as individuals, to understand and comply with the laws, rules, regulations and policies that apply to us in the conduct of our duties, including those that apply specifically to public companies, asset managers and investment advisers, as well as laws with broader applicability such as prohibitions on insider trading and other forms of market abuse.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

Many of the company's activities are governed by laws, rules, regulations and policies that are subject to change. If you have questions about the applicability or interpretation of certain laws, rules, regulations or policies relevant to your duties at Brookfield, you should consult with a member of the Legal & Regulatory Group. In the event a local law, custom or practice conflicts with the Code you must adhere to whichever is most stringent. If you know of any of our practices that may be illegal, you have a duty to report it. Ignorance of the law is not, in general, a defense to breaking the law. We expect you to make every reasonable effort to become familiar with the laws, rules, regulations and policies affecting your activities and to comply with them. If you have any doubts as to the applicability or interpretation of any of the above, you should obtain advice from the company's Legal & Regulatory Group.

***Do not trade in the company's securities and in any other publicly-traded securities if you possess material non-public information.***

While at Brookfield, you may have access to or become aware of material non-public information,<sup>12</sup> either about the Corporation, a Controlled Affiliate or a related or unrelated publicly- traded entity. You must not use this information to gain a financial advantage for yourself or others, either by way of making a trade for yourself, "tipping" others on the information (i.e., disclosing the information to others such as relatives or friends), or otherwise. Doing so is not only a violation of the Code that will result in immediate termination for cause but is also a serious violation of securities laws and will expose any individuals involved to potential civil and criminal prosecution.

Prohibitions on trading in Brookfield securities may apply when a Brookfield entity is in a quarterly blackout period relating to the release of its earnings or when it is in a special blackout period. Information on blackout periods can be obtained via the company's intranet.

If you have questions about securities laws or the company's internal trading policies and procedures, contact a member of the company's Legal & Regulatory Group or refer to the *Personal Trading Policy*.

***Depending on your role at the company, you may have to pre-clear trades or avoid trading altogether.***

There are three categories of employees under Brookfield's *Personal Trading Policy – Investment Access Persons, Access Persons and Insiders*. Employees are designated within these categories based on their position, role, responsibility and/or activities at Brookfield, as set out in more detail in the *Personal Trading Policy*. Brookfield's HR Department will designate employees as Investment Access Persons, Access Persons or Insiders upon hire and, to the extent necessary, update such designations in connection with changes in roles and/or titles. Brookfield's Legal & Regulatory Group will notify employees of their designation and the implications thereof upon hire and in connection with any designation changes thereafter.

<sup>12</sup> Information about an entity is "material" if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider the information important when deciding to buy, sell or hold that entity's securities or if the information would reasonably be expected to result in a significant change in the market price or value of the securities. Information is "non-public" until it has been generally disclosed to the public and adequate time has passed for the securities markets to digest the information. If you are not sure whether information is material or non-public, consult with your Legal & Regulatory Compliance Group for guidance.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

Insiders, Access Persons and their Family Members must pre-clear their trades in both Brookfield and non-Brookfield securities (i.e., all tradeable securities). All non-employee directors must pre-clear trades in Brookfield securities only.

Investment Access Persons and their Family Members must pre-clear their trades in Brookfield securities.

Investment Access Persons and their Family Members are generally prohibited from making personal trades in all non-Brookfield securities. Such persons must delegate their trades in non-Brookfield securities to a blind trust or a third-party financial advisor who has full discretion over investment decisions. As a general matter, these types of accounts over which you have no discretion should be managed by arm's length third-parties that are not your Family Members.

For more information about trading pre-clearance and trading activities in third-party discretionary accounts, refer to the company's *Personal Trading Policy*.

***Do not give or receive bribes, including "facilitation payments."***

We value our reputation for conducting business with honesty and integrity. It is vital for us to maintain this reputation as it generates confidence in our business by our stakeholders, which ultimately means it is good for business. We do not pay bribes in furtherance of our business, either directly or indirectly, and you are not permitted to pay bribes on our behalf or authorize others to pay bribes on our behalf. This commitment comes from the highest levels of management and you must meet this standard. A bribe is anything of value that is offered, promised, given or received to improperly influence a decision or to gain an improper or unfair advantage in promoting, enhancing, obtaining or retaining business. Bribery may not always be in the form of cash payments and may take many other forms, including gifts, travel, hospitality, political contributions, charitable donations, employment opportunities, internships, and secondments. Facilitation payments<sup>13</sup> are also a form of bribe and are therefore not permitted. For further details, refer to the company's *Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy*.

***Giving or receiving gifts/entertainment should be reasonable, and in certain cases prohibited.***

Gifts and entertainment given to or received from persons who have a business relationship with the company are generally acceptable, if the gift or entertainment is modest in value, appropriate to the business relationship, and does not create an appearance of impropriety. No cash or cash equivalent payments should be given or received. Employees who do not comply with these requirements may be required to reimburse the company for the value of any gifts or benefits they make or receive on behalf of the company. Violations can result in severe consequences for you and/or the company, including findings of violations of laws, disciplinary action by Brookfield (up to and including dismissal for cause), and related civil penalties. For further details, refer to the relevant *Guideline for the Giving/Receipt of Gifts, Meals & Other Entertainment, and the Making/Soliciting of Charitable Donations* applicable in your jurisdiction.

<sup>13</sup> Facilitation payments are small payments made to secure or speed up routine actions or otherwise induce public officials or other third-parties to perform routine functions they are otherwise obligated to perform, such as issuing permits, approving immigration documents or releasing goods held in customs. This does not include legally required administrative fees or fees to fast-track services.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

***There may be restrictions on your political donations to candidates and political parties.***

In certain jurisdictions, political donations made on behalf of the company are prohibited. Political donations made by individuals on their own behalf should comply with local laws and regulations. In Canada, political donations made on behalf of the company are prohibited. In the U.S., various federal, state, and municipal laws and regulations impose specific restrictions and rules with respect to political contributions, both those made on behalf of the company or made by individuals on their own behalf, which can carry significant penalties for the company for violations.<sup>14</sup> To ensure that we do not breach the law regarding political donations in any country, all political donations, no matter how small, made on behalf of the company (directly or indirectly) must be approved in advance by the applicable regional head. The company's regional political contributions policies should be consulted and adhered to before making any political contributions on behalf of the company or by individuals and/or their Family Members on their own behalf.

***We must prevent the use of our operations for money laundering or any activity that facilitates money laundering, the financing of terrorism, or other criminal activities.***

The company is strongly committed to preventing the use of its operations for money laundering, the financing of terrorism, or other criminal activities, and will take appropriate actions to comply with applicable anti-money laundering laws. Brookfield has procedures for conducting anti-money laundering due diligence on investments and divestments. The company maintains programs for ensuring that investors in Brookfield-managed vehicles are adequately screened and verified and that the company's other business activities are in compliance with applicable anti-money laundering laws and related requirements. For further details, refer to the company's *Anti-Money Laundering and Trade Sanctions Policy*.

***We must comply with all sanctions laws applicable in the jurisdictions in which we operate.***

The U.S. and other jurisdictions and international organizations utilize economic sanctions to promote national security or advance foreign policy objectives. These sanctions prohibit companies from conducting business with certain countries, individuals or entities. Restricted activities may include transfers of assets, monetary payments, provision of services, financial dealings, exports and imports and travel to certain countries.

Brookfield is required by law to comply with sanctions restrictions applicable in the jurisdictions in which it operates and in other jurisdictions such as the U.S. where such laws have extra jurisdictional reach. For further details, refer to the company's *Anti-Money Laundering and Trade Sanctions Policy*.

***You should consider your rights and obligations when providing information to governmental authorities.***

Either during or following your employment or directorship at Brookfield, you may be contacted by governmental authorities (e.g., law enforcement, securities regulators, etc.) who are seeking confidential information from you which you obtained through your association with Brookfield. Whether you are able to respond to these questions or not, we strongly recommend that, for your own protection, you do not speak with the authorities without first seeking legal advice on your rights and obligations. In this situation, you may contact the company's Legal & Regulatory Group, who can help you retain counsel that can assist you.

<sup>14</sup> In the U.S., all employees must preclear personal contributions in accordance with the regional policy.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Code prohibits or restricts you in any way from voluntarily (or upon request) communicating with, or providing information to any governmental authority, agency or regulator regarding any potential violations of law, rule or regulation, or from making other disclosures that are protected pursuant to whistleblower rules and regulations. You are not required to provide notice or seek consent in connection with any such communication with, or provision of information to, the relevant governmental agency or regulator<sup>15</sup> under applicable whistleblower provisions. For further information, refer to the *Whistleblowing Policy*.

***You have internal reporting obligations in the event you are convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.***

We are only as good as our people, and therefore our reputation as a leading global alternative asset manager depends on the reputation of the individuals who serve the company as a director, officer or employee. Our screening process at Brookfield is rigorous and includes background checks so that we have the best information possible about our prospective directors, officers and employees. Once at Brookfield, we expect you to continue to adhere to these principles of openness, honesty and transparency. If at any time while you are associated with the company you are convicted of a felony or misdemeanor (or been subject to any similar conviction in any jurisdiction) or are involved in any conduct that you think may be relevant to your reputation, you have an obligation to report this information to the company's Legal & Regulatory Group or your supervisor so that it may be appropriately documented internally.

**REPORTING POTENTIAL CODE VIOLATIONS**

***You are expected to make good faith reports.***

Internal reporting is critical to the company's success, and it is both expected and valued. You are required to be proactive and promptly report any suspected violations of the Code, or any illegal or unethical behavior or misconduct that you become aware of or are involved with. When making a report, please include specific details and back-up documentation where feasible in order to permit adequate investigation of the concern or conduct reported. Vague, nonspecific or unsupported allegations are inherently more difficult to pursue.

Employees are expected to report actual or potential misconduct or violations of the Code to their supervisor in the first instance, since their supervisor is generally in the best position to resolve the issue. Alternatively, you may contact the HR Department or the company's Legal & Regulatory Group to report any actual or potential misconduct or Code violations, or if you have any specific or general questions. Directors should promptly report violations to the Chair of their Board of Directors.

If you have questions about securities laws or the company's whistleblowing policy, contact the company's Legal & Regulatory Group or refer to the *Whistleblowing Policy*.

<sup>15</sup> Such regulatory bodies including but not limited to: the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission, the Ontario Securities Commission, Australian Investment and Securities Commission and the Financial Conduct Authority

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

***In the event you do not want to report violations to your supervisor, HR, or the company's Legal & Regulatory Group, you can always make a report through the company's reporting hotline.***

Our reporting hotline (the "**Reporting Hotline**") is managed by an independent third-party. The Reporting Hotline allows anyone to call anonymously (if they so choose) to report suspected unethical, illegal or unsafe behavior in English and other languages. The Reporting Hotline is available toll-free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Refer to the "*Contact Information*" section of the Code for the Reporting Hotline phone numbers by jurisdiction. If you choose to make an anonymous report, your anonymity will be protected to the fullest extent possible as permitted by law.

***Reports will be kept confidential and will be dealt with appropriately.***

The confidentiality of reported violations will be maintained to the fullest extent possible, consistent with the need to conduct an adequate review and subject to applicable law. You may wish to identify yourself to facilitate our investigation of any report; however, you can make an anonymous report by calling the Reporting Hotline. The party receiving the initial report must record its receipt, document how the situation was dealt with and file a report with internal audit, which will be retained for the record. The Chief Internal Auditor will report all illegal and unethical conduct in violation of the Code to the appropriate Brookfield Board of Directors, or a committee thereof as appropriate, and externally in accordance with applicable laws.

***Brookfield prohibits retaliation against anyone who reports suspected violations of the Code or any law or regulation.***

No retribution or retaliation will be taken against any person who has filed a report based on the reasonable good faith belief that a violation of the Code or any law or regulation has occurred or may in the future occur; however, making a report does not necessarily absolve you (if you are involved) or anyone else of the breach or suspected breach of the Code. The company reserves the right to discipline you if you provide false information or make an accusation you know to be untrue. This does not mean that the information that you provide has to be correct, but it does mean that you must reasonably believe that the information is truthful and demonstrates at least a possible violation of the Code. If you believe that you have been unfairly or unlawfully retaliated against, you may file a report with your supervisor, the HR team, or the company's Legal & Regulatory Group, or by calling the Reporting Hotline.

***You are required to cooperate in any internal investigation.***

Directors, officers and employees are required to cooperate in any internal investigation into allegations of illegal or unethical behavior or misconduct. In connection with an internal investigation, you must provide honest, accurate and complete information.

**DISCIPLINARY ACTION FOR CODE VIOLATIONS**

Please note that we reserve the right to take disciplinary action for Code violations that fits the nature and particular facts of the violation. This could include immediate termination for cause and, if warranted, legal proceedings may be brought against you.

![](tm263986d6_ex99-21img002.jpg)

**STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE**

Upon starting at Brookfield, each director, officer, employee and temporary worker who is subject to this Code will be provided with a copy of the Code and policies referred to herein and is required to sign an acknowledgement. The acknowledgement is maintained by the company's Legal & Regulatory Group. On an annual basis, each director, officer, employee and temporary worker who is subject to this Code will be required to re-certify compliance with the Code. **Annual execution of a Statement of Compliance with the Code and policies referred to herein or an annual certification of the Code shall be a condition of your continued directorship, employment or engagement with the company.**

**WAIVERS**

A waiver of the Code will be granted only in very exceptional circumstances. A Code waiver for the Corporation's employees, other than the Corporation's executive officers, must be approved by the CEO. A Code waiver for the Corporation's Board of Directors or executive officers must be approved by the Chair of the Board of Directors. A Code waiver for a director, officer or employee of a Controlled Affiliate may be granted in accordance with the policies of the Controlled Affiliate, as consistent with the Code.

**AMENDMENTS**

The Corporation's Board of Directors reviews and approves the Code on at least an annual basis and is ultimately responsible for monitoring compliance with the Code.

The company reserves the right to modify, suspend or revoke the Code and any related policies, procedures, and programs at any time.

Any amendments to the Code will be disclosed and reported as required by applicable law.

The company employs unionized employees. If the Code conflicts with a collective bargaining agreement governing the wages and/or conditions of employment for unionized employees, the collective bargaining agreement will prevail; if a collective bargaining agreement is silent with respect to an area addressed in the Code, or if the Code supplements a collective bargaining agreement, unionized employees are expected to abide by the Code.

Neither the Code, nor any of the policies referred to herein, confer any rights, privileges or benefits on any employee, create an entitlement to continued employment at the company, establish conditions of employment for the employee, or create an express or implied contract of any kind between employees and the company. In addition, the Code does not modify the employment relationship between employees and the company.

The Code is posted on our website and intranet. The version of the Code on our website and intranet may be more current and supersedes any paper copies, should there be any discrepancy between paper copies and what is posted online.

Auditor and management, review the appointment and replacement of the Internal Auditor, review significant results of the Internal Auditor's

**Complaints Procedure**

The Brookfield Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "**Code**") requires employees to report to their supervisor or internal legal counsel any suspected violations of the Code, including (i) fraud or deliberate errors in the preparation, maintenance, evaluation, review or audit of any financial statement or financial record; (ii) deficiencies in, or noncompliance with, internal accounting controls; (iii) misrepresentations or false statements in any public disclosure documents; and (iv) any deviations from full, true and plain reporting of the Corporation's financial condition, as well as any other illegal or unethical behavior. Alternatively, employees may report such behavior anonymously through the Corporation's reporting hotline which is managed by an independent third party. The Committee has primary Board oversight responsibility for the Corporation's reporting hotline. The Code provides reporting channels for employees to report suspected wrongdoing without retaliation.

The Committee will oversee the procedure for the receipt, retention, treatment and follow-up of complaints received by the Corporation regarding the reporting hotline or otherwise regarding accounting, internal controls, disclosure controls or auditing matters and the procedure for the confidential, anonymous submission of concerns by the individuals engaged in the provision of services regarding such matters pursuant to the Master Services Agreement.

## Exhibit 99.26

**Exhibit 99.26**

![](tm263986d6_ex99-23img001.jpg)

**CLAWBACK POLICY**

**March 2026**

![](tm263986d6_ex99-23img002.jpg)

**CLAWBACK POLICY**

This Clawback Policy (this "**Policy**") applies to senior executive officers and any other individuals (collectively, "**Executive Officers**") that would be considered an "executive officer" of Brookfield Business Corporation (the "**Corporation**") and/or an "executive officer" of any of the Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiaries whose securities may be listed on a U.S. national securities exchange from time to time (the "**Listed Subsidiaries**" and each, a "**Listed Subsidiary**"), within the meaning of Rule 10D-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "**Exchange Act**") and the applicable stock exchange rules implementing Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act (together with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the "**U.S. Clawback Rules**").

In the event the Corporation or any Listed Subsidiary (each, a "**Subject Issuer**") is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. federal securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct a material error in such Subject Issuer's previously-issued financial statements, or to avoid a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (an "**Accounting Restatement**"), the board of directors of the Corporation (if such Subject Issuer is the Corporation) or the board of directors (or equivalent) of the applicable Listed Subsidiary (if such Subject Issuer is a Listed Subsidiary) (as applicable, the "**Board**") will review all compensation ("**Incentive-Based Compensation**") that is (i) granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of one or more measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing such Subject Issuer's financial statements, or are derived wholly or in part from such measures (collectively, "**Financial Reporting Measures**"), and (ii) "received" by Executive Officers of such Subject Issuer (a) after beginning service as an Executive Officer of such Subject Issuer, (b) during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which such Subject Issuer is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement (the "**Restatement Date**") (as well as during any transition period specified under the U.S. Clawback Rules), (c) while such Subject Issuer has a class of securities listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, and (d) after the U.S. Clawback Rules became effective. For purposes of the U.S. Clawback Rules and this Policy, "received" means the applicable Financial Reporting Measures have been attained, regardless of when the compensation is actually granted or paid.

If, in connection with an Accounting Restatement of a Subject Issuer, the Board of such Subject Issuer determines that one or more Executive Officers of such Subject Issuer received an amount of Incentive-Based Compensation in excess of the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts in connection with such Accounting Restatement, as calculated without regard to any taxes paid and otherwise in accordance with the U.S. Clawback Rules (such excess, the "**Erroneously Awarded Compensation**"), such Subject Issuer will, reasonably promptly after the Restatement Date, seek recoupment from all such Executive Officers of all Erroneously Awarded Compensation. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event an Executive Officer has received Incentive-Based Compensation in respect of more than one Subject Issuer that is subject to an Accounting Restatement, the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation will be calculated individually for each Subject Issuer, but without duplication in the event that the applicable Incentive-Based Compensation relates to the Financial Reporting Measures of more than one Subject Issuer.

Erroneously Awarded Compensation must be recovered as provided in this Policy on a "no fault" basis without regard to whether any Executive Officer is responsible for the noncompliance that resulted in the Accounting Restatement, unless a committee of independent directors of the Board of the applicable Subject Issuer responsible for executive compensation decisions (or in the absence of such committee, the majority of the independent directors serving on the Board of the applicable Subject Issuer) determines that any of the impracticability exceptions set forth in the U.S. Clawback Rules are available. Any appropriate method may be used for recouping Erroneously Awarded Compensation. A Subject Issuer's obligation to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not dependent on if or when the restated financial statements in connection with the Accounting Restatement have been filed, and no Subject Issuer may indemnify any Executive Officer against the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation in respect of any Subject Issuer.

Clawback Policy <br> 1

![](tm263986d6_ex99-23img002.jpg)

Members of the Board of a Subject Issuer who assist in the administration of this Policy will not be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to this Policy and will be fully indemnified by such Subject Issuer to the fullest extent under applicable law and such Subject Issuer's policy with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. The foregoing sentence will not limit any other rights to indemnification of the members of the Board under applicable law or any Subject Issuer policy.

Each document setting forth the terms and conditions of any Incentive-Based Compensation granted or paid to an Executive Officer will be deemed to include a provision incorporating this Policy or the requirements of this Policy. The remedies specified in this Policy will not be exclusive and will be in addition to every other right or remedy at law or in equity that may be available to the Subject Issuer.

This Policy shall be qualified by reference to, is designed to comply with, and will be interpreted consistent with applicable U.S. Clawback Rules.

The Board of each Subject Issuer has full and final authority to make all determinations under this Policy with respect to any Erroneously Awarded Compensation in respect of such Subject Issuer, including, without limitation, whether this Policy applies and if so, the amount of compensation to be repaid or forfeited by an Executive Officer. All determinations and decisions made by such Board under this Policy will be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

This Policy was reviewed and approved by the Board of the Corporation and by the Board of each Listed Subsidiary, if any, effective March 27, 2026.
