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;

- 4 -

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;

1.3.3 references to any Person include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns;

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

- 5 -

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 hereto, 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 amendment or 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.

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.

skill and business contacts of the Brookfield Group’s professionals and the information and acquisition opportunities they generate during the normal course of their activities;

2.2.2 while the Brookfield Group may offer the acquisition opportunities contained in this Section 2.2.2 to the BREP Group, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Brookfield Group or any member of the Brookfield Group to offer the BREP Group or any member of the BREP Group the opportunity to acquire:

2.2.3.3 Brookfield has established and manages a number of Brookfield Funds whose investment objectives include the acquisition of Power Operations and may in the future establish similar funds. Nothing herein shall limit or restrict Brookfield from establishing or advising a Brookfield Fund or carrying out any investment, provided that for any investment carried out by a Brookfield Fund

- 7 -

that involves the acquisition of a Power Operation the BREP Group will be offered the opportunity to take up Brookfield’s share of such acquisition;

2.2.4 in the event that the BREP Group declines any Power Operation acquisition opportunity that Brookfield has made available, the Brookfield Group may pursue such acquisition for its own account, without restriction; and

2.2.5 nothing in this Agreement will restrict the Brookfield Group in connection with its lending, securities management, investment banking services, restructuring businesses or its construction businesses (where such construction is not undertaken with a view to owning the facilities upon completion of the project), including the acquisition or sale of any assets relating to such activities.

2.3 BREP Group Acknowledgements

Each of the BREP, BRELP and the Holding Entities acknowledges and agrees that Power Operation acquisition opportunities that are offered to the BREP Group pursuant to this Agreement may be carried out through joint ventures, partnerships, investment funds or consortium arrangements in which the BREP Group will not be the sole participant. In addition to third party participants, one or more Brookfield Group members may also participate in such opportunities if (i) the BREP Group does not have the financial capacity, as determined in good faith by Brookfield, in consultation with the BREP Group, to acquire all of the opportunity, or (ii) Brookfield, taking into consideration the purpose of the investment, return characteristics, risk profile, source of the investment opportunity and other such considerations, allocates participation in the investment opportunity available for Brookfield between the BREP Group and one or more other members of the Brookfield Group. Any such allocation or joint participation with one or more member of the Brookfield Group will be made in good faith and after consulting with the BREP Group.

2.4 Reporting

Subject to confidentiality obligations, Brookfield shall cause the Managers to provide a report to the BREP Group on a quarterly basis of all Power Operations acquired by the Brookfield Group that occurred during the quarter that were not offered to the BREP Group, including details of why such acquisition opportunities were not offered to the BREP Group.
