Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) no Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, will be offered for sale or sold in any province or territory of Canada by any Underwriter or any banking or selling group member unless such Underwriter or banking or selling group member is duly registered as a dealer under the Canadian Securities Laws of such province or territory in a category that permits the trade and (ii) the Underwriters will not, and will require each banking and selling group member to agree with the Underwriters not to, sell or offer for sale or solicit offers to purchase or sell more than 13,887,000 Exchangeable Shares and Additional Exchangeable Shares in the aggregate (including all such Underwriters and banking and selling group members) in the Qualifying Jurisdictions prior to BEPC and the Partnership receiving a receipt from the Securities Commissions in respect of the Canadian Shelf Prospectus Amendment, such number of Exchangeable Shares representing the maximum number of Exchangeable Shares which may be offered for sale in Canada pursuant to the Canadian Shelf Prospectus as of the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. is not acting as an underwriter of the Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, in any province or territory of Canada and no action on the part of either Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. in its capacity as an underwriter of the offering of Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, in the United States will create any impression or support any conclusion that it is acting as an underwriter of the Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, in any province or territory of Canada. The Underwriters will not solicit offers to purchase or sell the Exchangeable Shares or the Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, so as to require registration of the Exchangeable Shares or the Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, or filing of a prospectus with respect to the distribution of the Exchangeable Shares and the Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States and the Qualifying Jurisdictions, and will require each banking and selling group member to agree with the Underwriters not to so solicit or sell, provided that the Underwriters and the banking and selling groups may offer and sell Exchangeable Shares and Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, outside of the Qualifying Jurisdictions and the United States if such offer and sale is conducted in compliance with the securities laws of such jurisdictions and does not require either BEPC or the Partnership to file any prospectus or registration statement or other notice or document in connection with such offer and sale or subject either BEPC or the Partnership to reporting obligations in any jurisdiction or result in the listing of either BEPC or the Partnership’s securities on any exchange other than an exchange where such securities are listed as of the date hereof. The Underwriters shall be entitled to assume that up to an aggregate of 13,887,000 of the Exchangeable Shares and the Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, and following

receipt from the Securities Commissions in respect of the Canadian Shelf Prospectus Amendment, all of the Exchangeable Shares are qualified for distribution in any province or territory within the Qualifying Jurisdictions unless the Underwriters receive notice to the contrary from BEPC and the Partnership or the applicable Securities Commission. An Underwriter will not be liable to the Selling Securityholders, BEPC or the Partnership under this Section with respect to a default by another Underwriter under this Section.

Each of the Underwriters hereby severally represents, warrants and covenants and will require each banking and selling group member to represent, warrant and covenant to the Underwriters that: (a) other than the Canadian Preliminary Supplement, the Canadian Shelf Prospectus, the Canadian Supplement and the February 2021 Marketing Materials, it has not provided and will not without the prior written approval of the Selling Securityholders, BEPC, the Partnership and the Representatives provide any information in respect of the Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, to any potential investors of the Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, resident in Canada including, without limitation: (i) marketing materials in respect of the Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any; and (ii) a standard term sheet in respect of the Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any; and (b) it will provide a copy of the Canadian Shelf Prospectus and any applicable shelf prospectus supplement and amendment that has been filed with any marketing materials (including the February 2021 Marketing Materials) that are provided to a potential investor of the Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, resident in Canada.

The Underwriters propose to offer the Exchangeable Shares and Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, initially at the Offering Price. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Exchangeable Shares and Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, at the Offering Price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce and thereafter change, from time to time, the price at which the Exchangeable Shares and Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, are offered, provided that the Exchangeable Shares and Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, are not at any time offered at a price greater than the Offering Price; provided further that such decrease in the Offering Price will not decrease the amount of net proceeds of the Offering to any Selling Securityholder.

The Underwriters shall use their reasonable best endeavours to terminate, and cause each banking and selling group member to terminate, the distribution of the Exchangeable Shares and the Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, as promptly as possible. Each of the Underwriters, within the Distribution Period, will notify the Representatives, and the Representatives will notify the Selling Securityholders, BEPC and the Partnership, in writing, when distribution of the Exchangeable Shares and the Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, has terminated. Each of the Underwriters will notify the Representatives, and the Representatives will notify BEPC, the Partnership and the Selling Securityholders, in writing, of the number of Exchangeable Shares and Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, sold in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions as soon as possible after the distribution of the Exchangeable Shares and Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, has been completed, and in any event no later than 30 days following the date on which such distribution has been completed.

any change in any matter covered by a statement contained or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement, the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any Subsequent Disclosure Document or an amendment to the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement or the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus; or

any material fact that has arisen or been discovered and that would have been required to have been disclosed in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement, the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Disclosure Package, U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus had that fact arisen or been discovered on or prior to the date of the Disclosure Package, U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement, the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Disclosure Package, U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement or the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, as the case may be,

BEPC and the Partnership will advise the Representatives promptly, and confirm such advice in writing: (i) when any amendment to the U.S. Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective; (ii) when any supplement to the U.S. Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment to the U.S. Prospectus has been filed; (iii) of any request by the SEC for any amendment to the U.S. Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the U.S. Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the SEC relating to the U.S. Registration Statement or any other request by the SEC for any additional information; (iv) of the issuance by the SEC of any order suspending the effectiveness of the U.S. Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Disclosure Package or the U.S. Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (v) of the occurrence of any event within the U.S. Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the U.S. Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the U.S. Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; (vi) of the receipt by the Partnership of any notice of objection of the SEC to the use of the U.S. Registration Statement; and (vii) of the receipt by the Partnership of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Exchangeable Shares for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Partnership will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the U.S. Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Disclosure Package or the U.S. Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Exchangeable Shares and, if any such order is issued, will obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

If at any time prior to the Closing Date (a) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Disclosure Package as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the

circumstances existing when the Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (b) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to comply with U.S. Securities Laws, the Partnership will promptly notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 6.4, file with the SEC (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Disclosure Package as may be necessary so that the statements in the Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Disclosure Package will comply with U.S. Securities Laws.

Subject to Section 4.1, BEPC and the Partnership shall promptly comply with all applicable filing and other requirements, if any, under the Applicable Securities Laws arising as a result of any change referred to in Section 9.1 and shall prepare and file under all Applicable Securities Laws, with all possible dispatch, and in any event within any time limit prescribed under Applicable Securities Laws, any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement or the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus as may be required under Applicable Securities Laws during the Distribution Period.

The delivery by BEPC and the Partnership to the Underwriters of each amendment to the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement or the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus and any Subsequent Disclosure Document shall constitute a representation and warranty to the Underwriters by each of the Partnership and BEPC, with respect to such Subsequent Disclosure Document or the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement or the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, as so amended by such amendment or Subsequent Disclosure Document and by each amendment to the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus and Subsequent Disclosure Document previously delivered to the Underwriters, to the same effect as set forth in Sections 6.2(a) and (b).

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein and in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus (including the sale and delivery of the Exchangeable Shares and the Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, and the authorization, issuance and delivery of any Units upon the exchange, redemption or acquisition of any Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any) and compliance by each of BEPC and the Partnership with its obligations hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of any of the Partnership Entities pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments (except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Repayment Events or liens, charges or encumbrances that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of or conflict with the provisions of the limited partnership agreement, charter or by laws of any of the Partnership Entities, the resolutions of the general partner, unitholders, shareholders, directors or any committee of directors of any of the Partnership Entities or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality, court, domestic or foreign, or stock exchange having jurisdiction over any of the Partnership Entities or any of their assets, properties or operations (except for such violations or conflicts that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect). As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by any of the Partnership Entities.

hereunder; the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which any of the Partnership Entities is a party or of which any of their respective property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or the Subsequent Disclosure Documents, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of any of the Partnership Entities, are not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Absence of Further Requirements. No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary or required for the performance by BEPC and the Partnership of their obligations hereunder, in connection with the offer or sale of the Exchangeable Shares and Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, hereunder, the issuance and delivery of any Units upon the exchange, redemption or acquisition of any Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as have been obtained, or as may be required, under Applicable Securities Laws or Exchange regulations.

Possession of Licenses and Permits. Each of the Partnership Entities possesses such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, except where the failure to so possess would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect; each of the Partnership Entities is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure to so comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, and, except as described in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, none of the Partnership Entities has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect, and there are no facts or circumstances, including, without limitation, facts or circumstances relating to the revocation, suspension, modification, withdrawal or termination of any Governmental Licenses held by others, known to the Partnership, that could lead to the revocation, suspension, modification, withdrawal or termination of any such Governmental Licenses, which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of BEPC and the Partnership and except as described in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, no party granting any such Governmental Licenses is considering limiting, suspending, modifying, withdrawing, or revoking the same which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Title to Property. Except as described in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus and except as would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Partnership Entities has good and marketable title to all of its material assets, including all material licenses, free and clear of all mortgages, hypothecs, liens, charges, pledges, security interests,

Insurance. Each of the Partnership Entities carries or is entitled to the benefits of insurance, with financially sound and reputable insurers, in such amounts and covering such risks as management believes is appropriate for an entity engaged in the business of the Partnership Entities, and all such insurance is in full force and effect, except, in each case, where the failure to possess would not, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Partnership Entities have no reason to believe that they will not be able (A) to renew existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire; or (B) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Partnership Entities has been denied any insurance coverage, which it has sought or for which it has applied.

Accounting Control. Each of the Partnership Entities maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act (including, where applicable, by exemptive relief) and that has been designed by, or under the supervision of, BEPC or the Partnership’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS, and which, on a consolidated basis, are sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (A) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS and to maintain accountability for assets; (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The internal controls are, and upon consummation of the Offering will be, overseen by the Audit Committees (the “Audit Committees”) of the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”) and BEPC in accordance with NYSE Rules. As of the date of the most recent balance sheets of BEPC and the Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries reviewed or audited by Ernst & Young LLP and the Audit Committees, there were no material weaknesses in either BEPC’s or the Partnership’s internal controls. Neither BEPC nor the Partnership has publicly disclosed or reported to their respective Audit Committees or the General Partner, and, within the next 135 days, neither BEPC nor the Partnership reasonably expects to publicly disclose or report to the Audit Committees or the General Partner a significant deficiency, material weakness, change in internal controls or fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in internal controls, any violation of, or failure to comply with, the U.S. Securities Laws, or any matter which, if determined adversely, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each of the Partnership Entities in respect of any income and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or reassessments for additional income tax for any years not finally determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

As used in this Section 18, “Applicable Indemnifying Party” means BEPC or the Partnership, as applicable, in respect of a claim for indemnification under Section 18.1 and the applicable Selling Securityholder in respect of a claim for indemnification under Section 18.2.

If any of the Indemnified Underwriter Parties incurs or suffers any loss, claim, demand, damage, cost, expense or liability (other than loss of profit) caused by or arising directly or indirectly by reason of any circumstance described in this Section 18 in respect of which the Applicable Indemnifying Party would be obligated to indemnify pursuant to that Section and is indemnified (pursuant to a legal obligation or otherwise) in respect thereof by any of the Underwriters, then such of the Underwriters who provided such indemnity shall be protected and indemnified by the Applicable Indemnifying Party to the extent thereof. It is intended that the rights to indemnity provided in this Section 18 be held in trust by the Underwriters for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties other than the Underwriters.

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless BEPC, the Partnership, each of the Selling Securityholders, each of their respective directors and officers who signed the U.S. Registration Statement and each person who controls BEPC, the Partnership or each of the Selling Securityholders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “Indemnified Partnership Parties” and, together with the Indemnified Underwriter Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 18.1(c) and (d) above, but only with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to BEPC and the Partnership by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the U.S. Registration Statement, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the Disclosure Package, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information under the heading “Underwriting” in the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus and the U.S. Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information related to stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids contained under the subheading “Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids” thereunder.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Sections 18.1 and 18.2 are unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason to an Indemnified Underwriter Party in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to therein, the Applicable Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (or, if such indemnity is unavailable only in respect of a portion of the amount so paid or payable, such portion of the amount so paid or payable) by such Indemnified Underwriter Party as a result of such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses:

in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Applicable Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Exchangeable Shares and the Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any; or

if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Applicable Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the matters or things referred to in Section 18.1 which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations,

If any claim contemplated by this Section 18 shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party concerned shall promptly notify the Applicable Indemnifying Party or the Underwriters, as applicable (referred to interchangeably for purposes of this Section 18.7 as the “Indemnified Party”) of the nature of such claim (provided that any failure to so notify promptly shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability under this Section 18 only to the extent that such failure prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim), and the Indemnifying Party shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defense of any suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) brought to enforce such claim. Any such defense shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party (whose acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) and no admission of liability

or settlement shall be made by the Indemnifying Party or any Indemnified Party in respect of any Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time; (ii) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party; or (iii) the named parties to any such suit or proceeding include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have received a written opinion from counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such suit or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party and shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstance, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or suit effected without its written consent. It is the intention of the Indemnifying Party to constitute each of the Underwriters as trustees for the Underwriters’ directors, officers, employees, affiliates and persons who control any of the Underwriters, of the covenants of the Indemnifying Party under Sections 18.1 and 18.2 with respect to the Indemnified Parties and the Underwriters agree to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

The Applicable Indemnifying Party waives all right of contribution by statute or common law which it may have against the Underwriters in respect of losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities which it may sustain as a direct or indirect consequence of any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, the Canadian Preliminary Supplement, the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, any Subsequent Disclosure Document, any amendment to the Canadian Preliminary Supplement, the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any other document containing or being alleged to contain a misrepresentation, provided that such right against any one of the Underwriters is not waived in respect of losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities

sustained as a direct or indirect consequence of the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any other document containing a misrepresentation of which such Underwriter was aware of at the time it signed the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any amendment to the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or a misrepresentation made in reliance upon and in conformity with information in respect of the Underwriters furnished to the Applicable Indemnifying Party by the Underwriters specifically for use in the preparation of the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or other document.

The rights provided in this Section 18 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

Whether or not the Offering is completed, BEPC and the Partnership will be responsible for all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, delivery and marketing of the Offering, including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of the Selling Securityholders’, BEPC’s and the Partnership’s legal counsel, all fees and disbursements of auditors, prospectus filing fees, fees and expenses in connection with any required review by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

In the event that such right is not exercised, the Underwriter or Underwriters which are willing and able to purchase its or their respective percentage of the Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, shall be relieved, without liability, of its or their obligations to purchase its or their respective percentage of the Exchangeable Shares or Additional Exchangeable Shares, if any, on submission to the Selling Securityholders, BEPC and the Partnership of reasonable evidence of its or their ability and willingness to fulfill its or their obligations under this Agreement at the Closing Time or Over-Allotment Option Closing Time, as applicable.

Each of BEPC, the Partnership and each of the Selling Securityholders hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in the City and County of New York and of the United States for the Southern District of New York and the federal and provincial courts in the Province of Ontario in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Each of BEPC, the Partnership and each of the Selling Securityholders irrevocably appoints Brookfield Power US Holding America Co. as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to BEPC, the Partnership and/or each of the Selling Securityholders, as applicable, by the person serving the same to the address provided in Section 22.1, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon BEPC, the Partnership and/or each of the Selling Securityholders, as applicable, in any such suit or proceeding.

agent or fiduciary of each of the Selling Securityholders, BEPC or the Partnership or its unitholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of each of the Selling Securityholders or the Partnership with respect to the Offering or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising each of the Selling Securityholders, BEPC or the Partnership on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to each of the Selling Securityholders, BEPC or the Partnership with respect to the Offering except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of each of the Selling Securityholders, BEPC and/or the Partnership and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Offering and each of the Selling Securityholders, BEPC and the Partnership has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deems appropriate.

Each of the Selling Securityholders, BEPC and the Partnership and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

The obligation of BEPC, the Partnership or any Selling Securityholder in respect of any sum due to any Underwriter under this Agreement shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars or any other applicable currency (the “Judgment Currency”), not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by such Underwriter of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Underwriter may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars or any other applicable currency with the Judgment Currency; if the U.S. dollars or other applicable currency so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder, BEPC, the Partnership and/or such Selling Securityholder, as applicable, agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter against such loss. If the U.S. dollars or other applicable currency so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder, such Underwriter agrees to pay to BEPC, the Partnership and/or such Selling Securityholder, as the case may be, an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars or other applicable currency so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter hereunder.
