Bermuda

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

Re: Issue of 8,000,000 5.125% Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 13

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS”), BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA”), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPM”), RBC Capital Markets, LLC (“RBC”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells” and, together with MS, BofA, JPM and RBC, the “Representatives”) and TD Securities (USA) LLC (each of the foregoing, an “Underwriter”, and, collectively the “Underwriters”) understand that Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (“BIP”) proposes to issue 8,000,000 5.125% Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 13, representing preferred limited partner interests in BIP with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit (the “Units”) through the Underwriters (the “Offering”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Underwriters severally and not jointly offer to purchase the respective number of Units set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Section 19.1 at a purchase price of $24.2125 per Unit sold to retail investors and $24.50 per Unit sold to institutional investors (the “Offering Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of $195,402,000 (the “Purchase Price”), and by its acceptance of this offer BIP agrees to issue and sell the Units to the Underwriters.

Payment of the Purchase Price by the Underwriters will be made at the Closing Time (as defined herein) at the offices of Torys LLP in New York City against delivery by BIP of the Units. All dollar amounts referred to herein are expressed in United States dollars and “$” shall mean United States dollars, except where otherwise indicated.

The Units are to be issued pursuant to a third amendment (the “BIP LPA Amendment”) to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined herein), to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of BIP by and among Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Limited, an exempted company existing under the laws of Bermuda (the “General Partner”), and the limited partners party thereto, dated February 16, 2018, as amended on September 12, 2018 and February 27, 2020 (as further amended by the BIP LPA Amendment, the “Amended BIP LPA”). In connection with the issuance of the Units, BIP intends to contribute the net proceeds from the sale of the Units to Brookfield Infrastructure L.P., a Bermuda exempted limited partnership (“BILP”). In consideration of BIP’s contribution, BILP will issue to BIP a new series of Class A preferred limited partnership units of BILP with economic terms designed to mirror those of the Units (the “Mirror Units”) pursuant to an amendment, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “BILP LPA Amendment”) to BILP’s Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated February 16, 2018, as amended on September 12, 2018, August 1, 2019, February 27, 2020 and March 31, 2020 (as further amended by the BILP LPA Amendment, the “Amended BILP LPA”). The Amended BIP LPA and Amended BILP LPA are together referred to hereinafter as the “Transaction Documents”.

[reserved]

Delivery of Prospectuses and Related Documents

6.1

Except as provided in Section 6.1(a) hereof, BIP shall deliver to the Underwriters’ counsel prior to or contemporaneously, as nearly as practicable, with the execution of this Agreement a copy of the following for each of the Underwriters and Underwriters’ counsel:

(a)

any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as filed with the SEC (to the extent not previously delivered) to the Underwriters in New York City on the business day next succeeding the date of this Agreement in such quantities as the Representatives may reasonably request; and

(b)

a “comfort letter” from Deloitte LLP dated as of the date hereof (with the requisite procedures to be completed by such auditors within two business days of the date hereof), addressed to the directors of the General Partner and to the Underwriters, in form and substance acceptable to the Underwriters, acting reasonably, with respect to the financial statements and certain financial or statistical information relating to BIP contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

6.2

The delivery by BIP to the Underwriters of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus shall constitute a representation and warranty to the Underwriters by BIP that the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as applicable, except with respect to any Underwriting Information (as defined herein), does 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Such delivery shall also constitute the consent of BIP to the use of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus by the Underwriters in connection with the distribution of the Units.

6.3

Before preparing, using, authorizing, approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, BIP will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement for review and will not prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representatives reasonably object.

6.4

BIP will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the SEC in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

6.5

BIP will make generally available to its security holders as soon as reasonably practicable an earnings statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 under the Securities Act.

Commercial Copies of Prospectuses

7.1

BIP shall deliver to the Underwriters, as soon as practicable and in any event within two business days of the date of filing the Prospectus with the SEC, the number of commercial copies of the Prospectus reasonably specified by the Underwriters in writing.

7.2

During the Prospectus Delivery Period, BIP shall deliver, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including all amendments and supplements thereto) and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as the Representatives may reasonably request.

Distribution of Units

8.1

The Underwriters shall offer the Units for sale to the public directly and through banking and selling group members only as permitted by and in compliance with Securities Laws upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and in this Agreement. Without the prior consent of BIP, the Underwriters will not solicit offers to purchase or sell the Units so as to require registration of the Units or filing of a prospectus, registration statement or other notice or document with respect to the distribution of the Units under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, or which could subject BIP to reporting obligations in any such jurisdiction or result in the listing of the securities of BIP on any exchange other than an exchange where such securities are listed as of the date hereof and will require each banking and selling group member to agree with the Underwriters not to so solicit or sell. An Underwriter will not be liable to BIP under this Section with respect to a default by another Underwriter or any banking and selling group member appointed by another Underwriter under this Section.

8.2

The Underwriters propose to offer the Units, initially at the Offering Price. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Units at the Offering Price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce and thereafter change, from time to time, the price at which the Units are offered; provided that such decrease in the Offering Price will not decrease the amount of the net proceeds of the Offering to BIP.

Material Change

9.1

During the Prospectus Delivery Period, BIP shall promptly notify the Underwriters in writing, with full particulars, of:

(a)

any change (actual, contemplated or threatened) in the business, affairs, operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), capital or ownership of BIP on a consolidated basis (other than a change disclosed in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus); or

(b)

any change in any matter covered by a statement contained or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Subsequent Disclosure Document or an amendment to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus; or

(c)

any material fact that arises or has been discovered that would have been required to be stated in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus had that fact arisen or been discovered on or prior to the date of the Prospectus or any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be,

which change or fact is, or may be, of such a nature as to render the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus misleading or untrue in any material respect or which would result in any of such documents not complying in any material respect with any of the Securities Laws or which would result in any of such documents containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or which change would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value of the Units. BIP shall in good faith discuss with the Underwriters any change in circumstances (actual or proposed within the knowledge of BIP) which is of such a nature that there is reasonable doubt whether notice need be given to the Underwriters pursuant to this Section and, in any event, prior to making any filing referred to in Section 9.4.

9.2

BIP will advise the Representatives promptly, and confirm such advice in writing: (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective; (ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus has been filed; (iii) of any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the SEC relating to the 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 Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Disclosure Package or the 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 Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the 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 Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; (vi) of the receipt by BIP of any notice of objection of the SEC to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and (vii) of the receipt by BIP of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Units for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and BIP will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Units and, if any such order is issued, will obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

9.3

If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus 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 Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with Securities Laws, BIP will promptly notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 6.3, file with the SEC and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law. If at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) 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 (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to comply with Securities Laws, BIP will promptly notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 6.3 above, 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 Securities Laws.

9.4

BIP shall promptly comply with all applicable filing and other requirements, if any, under the Securities Laws arising as a result of any change referred to in Section 9.1 and shall prepare and file under all Securities Laws, with all possible dispatch, and in any event within any time limit prescribed under Securities Laws, any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as may be required under Securities Laws during the Prospectus Delivery Period. BIP shall further promptly deliver to the Underwriters a copy for each of the Underwriters and the Underwriters’ counsel of opinions and comfort letters with respect to each such amendment to the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and any Subsequent Disclosure Document substantially similar to those referred to in Section 6.1.

9.5

The delivery by BIP to the Underwriters of any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus shall constitute a representation and warranty to the Underwriters by BIP, with respect to such Subsequent Disclosure Document or the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as so amended by such amendment, and by each Subsequent Disclosure Document and each amendment to the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus previously delivered to the Underwriters, to the same effect as set forth in Section 6.2. Such delivery shall also constitute the consent of BIP to the use of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented by any such document, by the Underwriters in connection with the distribution of the Units in the United States.

Closing

10.1

At the Closing Time, BIP shall deliver to MS, on behalf of the Underwriters, the aggregate number of Units agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement in the form of an electronic deposit pursuant to the non-certificated issue system maintained by The Depositary Trust Company, to the instant deposit number as directed in writing by MS, against payment by the Underwriters to BIP of the Purchase Price by wire transfer pursuant to instructions provided by BIP to MS not less than 48 hours prior to the Closing Date.

The BIP Entities have no reason to believe that they will not be able to (A) renew existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire; or (B) 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 BIP Entities has been denied any insurance coverage, which it has sought or for which it has applied.

As of the date of the most recent balance sheet of BIP and its consolidated subsidiaries included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there were no material weaknesses in BIP’s internal controls. BIP has not publicly disclosed or reported to the Audit Committee or the General Partner, and, within the next 135 days, BIP does not reasonably expect to publicly disclose or report to the Audit Committee 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 Securities Laws, or any matter which, if determined adversely, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the BIP Entities has filed all other tax returns that are required to have been filed by it pursuant to applicable foreign, provincial, state, local or other law except insofar as the failure to file such returns would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by any of the BIP Entities, except where the failure to pay would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each of the BIP Entities in respect of any income and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments 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. The statements set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”, insofar as they purport to describe the tax consequences to holders of the ownership and disposition of the Units or legal conclusions with respect thereto, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth therein, are a fair and accurate summary of the matters set forth therein.

Termination

14.1

In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Underwriters, any Underwriter shall be entitled, at its option, to terminate and cancel its obligations under this Agreement, without any liability on their or its part, in the following circumstances:

(a)

Regulatory Proceeding Out. if after the Applicable Time and prior to the Closing Time, an inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding is commenced or threatened or any order is made or issued under or pursuant to any law of Canada or the United States or by any other regulatory authority or stock exchange (except any such proceeding or order based solely upon the activities of any of the Underwriters), or there is any change of law or the interpretation or administration thereof, which in such Underwriter’s opinion, acting reasonably, would prevent, suspend, delay, restrict or adversely affect the trading in or the distribution of the Units or any other securities of BIP in the United States; or

(b)

Disaster Out. if after the Applicable Time and prior to the Closing Time, there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition or occurrence of national or international consequence or any action, governmental law or regulation, enquiry or other occurrence of any nature whatsoever which, in such Underwriter’s sole opinion in its absolute discretion, acting reasonably, might be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the market price or value of the Units, including, without limitation, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or Canada or the declaration by the United States or Canada of a national emergency or war or the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis in the United States, Canada or elsewhere; or

(c)

Material Change. if after the Applicable Time and prior to the Closing Time, there should occur, be discovered by the Underwriters or be announced by BIP, any material change or a change in any material fact which, in the sole opinion of such Underwriter, might reasonably be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the market price or value of the Units or makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Units on the Closing Date, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; or

(d)

Financial Market Out. if there is a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE, a suspension or material limitation in trading in BIP’s securities on any of the Exchanges or a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either Canadian, U.S. Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in Canada or the United States which, in each such instance, the effect is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Underwriter, acting reasonably, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Units on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

14.2

The rights of termination contained in Section 14.1 may be exercised by any Underwriter giving written notice thereof to BIP and the Representatives at any time prior to the Closing Time and are in addition to any other rights or remedies the Underwriters may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act or non-compliance by BIP in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise. In the event of any such termination, there shall be no further liability or obligation on the part of the Underwriters to BIP or on the part of BIP to the Underwriters except in respect of any liability or obligation under any of Sections 17 and 18 which will remain in full force and effect.

Conditions

15.1

All terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be construed as conditions and any material breach or failure to comply in all material respects with any such terms or conditions which are for the benefit of the Underwriters shall entitle any of the Underwriters to terminate their obligation to purchase the Units by notice in writing to that effect given to BIP at or prior to the Closing Time. The Underwriters may waive in whole or in part or extend the time for compliance with any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to their rights in respect of any other of such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on an Underwriter any such waiver or extension must be in writing and signed by such Underwriter.

Restrictions on Further Issues or Sales

16.1

For a period of 30 days after the date of the Prospectus, BIP will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by BIP, or the General Partner or any controlled affiliate of BIP or the General Partner or any person in privity with BIP or the General Partner or any controlled affiliate of BIP or the General Partner, directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the SEC in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or announce the offering, of any units of any class of capital stock of BIP (other than the Units) that is preferred as to the payment of distributions, or as to the distribution of assets upon any liquidation or dissolution of BIP, over the limited partnership units of BIP (including any units of any class of partnership interests of the Partnership (other than the Units) that ranks equally with the Units as to the payment of distributions or as to the distribution of assets upon any liquidation or dissolution of BIP (other than any of BIP’s Class A preferred limited partnership units that are issued upon re-classification in accordance with terms of the corresponding series of BIP’s outstanding Class A preferred limited partnership units, as described in the Prospectus)). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 16 shall prohibit any disposition or offering by BIP, the General Partner, their respective controlled affiliates or any other person of BIP’s non-voting limited partnership units (“LP Units”) and securities convertible into, or otherwise exchangeable for, LP Units, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the SEC or any prospectus in respect of LP Units and securities convertible into, or otherwise exchangeable for, LP Units, in each case, as contemplated by the Forms F-1 and F-3 (as amended from time to time) filed by BIP and Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation with the SEC.

Indemnification

17.1

BIP shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Underwriters (which term, for the purpose of this Section shall be deemed to include affiliates of the Underwriters) and the Underwriters’ directors, officers and employees and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (for the purposes of this Section 17, the “Indemnified Underwriter Parties”) from and against all liabilities, claims, demands, losses (other than loss of profit in connection with the distribution of the Units), costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, in any way caused by or arising directly or indirectly from or in consequence of:

(a)

any breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of BIP in this Agreement or any other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, or the failure of BIP to comply with any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder;

(b)

any information or statement in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any Subsequent Disclosure Document, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein any information;

(c)

any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

(d)

any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the 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, any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any other material filed in compliance or intended compliance with U.S. Securities Laws, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(e)

BIP not complying with any requirement of the U.S. Securities Laws, or any breach or violation or alleged breach or violation of any U.S. Securities Laws or other securities legislation of any jurisdiction; or

(f)

any order made or any inquiry, investigation, or proceeding instituted, threatened or announced by any court, securities regulatory authority, stock exchange, or other competent authority (except any such proceeding or order based solely upon the activities of any of the Underwriters) or any change of law or the interpretation or administration thereof which operates to prevent or restrict the trading in or the distribution of the Units or any other securities of BIP in the United States;

provided that BIP shall cease to be liable for indemnification under this Section 17.1 in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses that arise out of or are based upon untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, any omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the 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, any Subsequent Disclosure Document or in any other material so filed in reliance upon and in conformity with information in respect of any of the Underwriters furnished in writing to BIP by the Underwriters through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in such document, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the “Underwriting Information” described in Section 17.3 below. The rights of indemnity contained in this Section 17.1 in respect of a claim based on an omission or alleged omission in any Subsequent Disclosure Document shall not apply if BIP has complied with Section 7.1 and, if applicable, Sections 7.2 and 9.5 and the person asserting such claim was not provided with a copy of any Subsequent Disclosure Document which corrects such omission or alleged omission.

17.2

[reserved]

17.3

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless BIP, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person who controls BIP within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (for the purposes of this Section 17, the “Indemnified BIP Parties” and together with the Indemnified Underwriter Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in 17.1(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 BIP by any Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any Subsequent Disclosure Document, 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 Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information related to stabilizing transactions, and syndicate covering transactions contained in the ninth, tenth and twelfth paragraphs thereunder (the “Underwriting Information”).

17.4

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 17.1 is 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, BIP 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:

(a)

in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by BIP on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Units; or

(b)

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 BIP, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the matters or things referred to in Section 17.1 which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations,

provided that the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the Underwriting Discounts and Commissions or any portion thereof actually received. The relative benefits received by BIP, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total proceeds from the offering of the Units (net of the Underwriting Discounts and Commissions payable to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses), received by BIP is to the Underwriting Discounts and Commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of BIP on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in Section 17.1 that resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of BIP or to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Underwriters and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in Section 17.1. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Underwriter Party as a result of the liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Underwriter Party in connection with investigating or defending any such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses, whether or not resulting in an action, suit, proceeding or claim. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 17.4 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 17.4. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 17.4, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total Underwriting Discounts and Commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Units exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 17.4 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

17.5

If any claim contemplated by this Section 17 shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party concerned shall promptly notify BIP or the Underwriters, as applicable (referred to interchangeably for purposes of this Section 17 as the “Indemnifying Party”) of the nature of such claim (provided that any failure to so notify promptly shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability under this Section 17 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 BIP 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 BIP under Section 17.1 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.

17.6

BIP 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 the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the 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 or any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any other document containing or being alleged to contain a misrepresentation.

17.7

The rights provided in this Section 17 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

Expenses

18.1

Whether or not the Offering is completed, BIP 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 BIP’s legal counsel, all fees and disbursements of auditors, prospectus filing fees, rating agency fees and all expenses related to marketing activities and printing costs; provided, however, that the Underwriters will be responsible for their “out of pocket” expenses and the fees and disbursements of the Underwriters’ legal counsel. If the Offering is terminated, other than by reason of a default of one of the Underwriters, BIP shall reimburse the Underwriters for any and all expenses reasonably incurred by them.

Several Obligations

19.1

The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Units shall be several and not joint, and the percentage of the Units that each of the Underwriters shall be severally obligated to purchase is as follows:

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC	19.0	%
RBC Capital Markets, LLC	19.0	%
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC	19.0	%
TD Securities (USA) LLC	5.0	%
Total	100.0	%

19.2

If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase its applicable percentage of the Units at the Closing Time, and the number of Units not purchased is less than or equal to 5.1% of the aggregate amount of Units agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, each of the other Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase severally and not jointly, the Units not taken up, on a pro rata basis or as they may otherwise agree as between themselves.

19.3

If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase its applicable percentage of the Units at the Closing Time, and the number of Units not purchased is greater than 5.1% of the aggregate number of Units agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, those of the Underwriters who shall be willing and able to purchase their respective percentage of the Units shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase severally the Units on a pro rata basis or as they may otherwise agree as between themselves. In the event that such right is not exercised, the Underwriter or Underwriters that are willing and able to purchase its or their respective percentage of the Units shall be relieved, without liability, of its or their obligations to purchase its or their respective percentage of the Units on submission to BIP of reasonable evidence of its or their ability and willingness to fulfill its or their obligations under this Agreement at the Closing Time.

19.4

Notwithstanding anything contained in Sections 19.2 or 19.3, nothing in this Section 19 shall oblige BIP to sell to the Underwriters less than all of the Units. In addition, nothing contained in Sections 19.2 or 19.3 shall relieve from responsibility to BIP any one of the Underwriters who shall default in its obligation to purchase its respective percentage of the Units.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the deduction attributable to any amount treated as a guaranteed payment shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion that is not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations. Such guaranteed payments with respect to any Series 13 Distribution Period shall be for the account of Series 13 Holders as of the applicable Series 13 Distribution Record Date, or as otherwise reasonably determined by the General Partner.

The Record Date (the “Series 13 Distribution Record Date”) for the payment of any Series 13 Distributions shall be the last business day of the calendar month prior to the applicable Series 13 Distribution Payment Date, or such other record date as may be fixed by the General Partner in accordance with this Section 2 to this Part XIV of Schedule A. So long as any Series 13 Preferred Units are Outstanding, no distribution shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment on any Series 13 Junior Securities (other than a distribution payable solely in Series 13 Junior Securities) unless all accrued and unpaid Series 13 Distributions up to and including such distributions payable for the last completed Series 13 Distribution Period, and all accrued and unpaid distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed period for which distributions were payable on all Series 13 Preferred Units and Series 13 Parity Securities, have been declared and paid or set apart for payment; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(B)(b)(iii) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, if a distribution period with respect to a class of Series 13 Junior Securities or Series 13 Parity Securities is shorter than the Series 13 Distribution Period, the General Partner may declare and pay regular distributions with respect to such Series 13 Junior Securities or Series 13 Parity Securities, so long as, at the time of declaration of such distribution, (i) there are no Series 13 Distributions in Arrears, and (ii) the General Partner expects to have sufficient funds to pay the full distribution in respect of the Series 13 Preferred Units on the next successive Series 13 Distribution Payment Date. Accrued Series 13 Distributions in Arrears for any past Series 13 Distribution Period may be declared by the General Partner and paid on any date fixed by the General Partner, whether or not a Series 13 Distribution Payment Date, to Series 13 Holders on the Record Date for such payment, which may not be less than 10 days before such payment date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accrued Series 13 Distributions in Arrears on all Outstanding Series 13 Preferred Units and all accrued distributions in arrears on any Series 13 Preferred Units and any Series 13 Parity Securities shall not have been declared and paid, or if sufficient funds for the payment thereof shall not have been set apart, payment of accrued distributions in Arrears on the Series 13 Preferred Units and accrued distributions in arrears on any such Series 13 Parity Securities shall be made in order of their respective distribution payment dates, commencing with the earliest distribution payment date. If less than all distributions payable with respect to all Series 13 Preferred Units and any other Series 13 Parity Securities are to be paid for any distribution period, any partial payment shall be made pro rata with respect to the Series 13 Preferred Units and any such other Series 13 Parity Securities entitled to a distribution payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate distribution amounts remaining due in respect of such Series 13 Preferred Units and such other Series 13 Parity Securities, if any, at such time and apportioned equally among them in accordance with the relative amount to be paid or allocated to each group. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each distribution period for the Series 13 Preferred Units that ends on the fifteenth day of March, June, September or December of any year shall be deemed the same distribution period as the distribution period for Series 13 Parity Securities that ends on the last day of March, June, September or December, respectively, of such year. Subject to Sections 13.3 of the Agreement and Section 2(B)(g) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, Series 13 Holders shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or Partnership Interests, in excess of full cumulative Series 13 Distributions. Except insofar as distributions accrue on the amount of any accrued and unpaid Series 13 Distributions as described in Section 2(B)(b)(i) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, no interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment which may be in Arrears on the Series 13 Preferred Units. So long as the Series 13 Preferred Units are held of record by the Depositary or its nominee, declared Series 13 Distributions shall be paid to the Depositary in same-day funds on each Series 13 Distribution Payment Date or other distribution payment date in the case of payments for Series 13 Distributions in Arrears. If on any Series 13 Distribution Payment Date, the Series 13 Distributions accrued to such date are not paid in full on all of the Series 13 Preferred Units then Outstanding, such Series 13 Distributions, or the unpaid part thereof, shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the General Partner on which the Partnership shall have sufficient monies legally available for such Series 13 Distributions under Bermuda law.

- 10 -

Voting Rights.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Series 13 Preferred Units shall not have any voting rights or rights to consent or approve any action or matter, except as set forth in clause (ii) below and in Section 5.4 of Part I of Schedule A to this Agreement, this Section 2(B)(c) to this Part XIV of Schedule A or as otherwise required by Bermuda law.

ii.

The Series 13 Holders shall not have any right or authority to act for or bind the Partnership or to take part or in any way to interfere in the conduct or management of the Partnership or (except as otherwise provided by law and except for meetings of the holders of Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units as a class and meetings of the Series 13 Holders as a series, in each case in respect of matters which limited partners may properly vote under Bermuda law) be entitled to receive notice of, attend, or vote at any meeting of unitholders of the Partnership unless and until the Partnership shall have failed to pay eight quarterly Series 13 Distributions, whether or not consecutive and whether or not such distributions have been declared and whether or not there are any monies of the Partnership legally available for distributions under Bermuda law. In the event of such non-payment, and for only so long as any such distributions remain in Arrears, the Holders will be entitled to receive notice of and to attend each meeting of unitholders of the Partnership (other than any meetings at which only holders of another specified class or series are entitled to vote) and such Holders shall have the right, at any such meeting, to one vote for each Series 13 Preferred Unit held. No other voting rights shall attach to the Series 13 Preferred Units in any circumstances. Upon payment of the entire amount of all cumulative preferential cash distributions in Arrears, the voting rights of the Series 13 Holders shall forthwith cease (unless and until the same default shall again arise under the provisions of this Section 2(B)(c)(ii) to this Part XIV of Schedule A).

- 11 -

iii.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or as otherwise required by Bermuda law, the General Partner shall not adopt any amendment to the Partnership Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the powers, preferences, duties or special rights of the Series 13 Preferred Units unless such amendment (i) is approved by a resolution signed by Series 13 Holders owning not less than the percentage of the Series 13 Preferred Units that would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting of Series 13 Holders at which all Series 13 Holders were present and voted or were represented by proxy or (ii) is passed by an affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at a meeting of Series 13 Holders duly called for that purpose and at which the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding Series 13 Preferred Units are present or represented by proxy; provided, however, that (x) subject to Section 5.4 of Part I of Schedule A to this Agreement, the issuance of additional Partnership Interests (and any amendment to this Agreement in connection therewith) shall not be deemed to constitute such a material adverse effect for purposes of this Section 2(B)(c)(ii) to this Part XIV of Schedule A and (y) for purposes of this Section 2(B)(c)(ii) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, no amendment of this Agreement in connection with a merger or other transaction in which the Partnership is the surviving entity and the Series 13 Preferred Units remain Outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged in any respect adverse to the Series 13 Holders shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the powers, preferences, duties, or special rights of the Series 13 Preferred Units. If at any such meeting the holders of Series 13 Preferred Units of at least 25% of the then Outstanding Series 13 Preferred Units are not present or represented by proxy within one-half hour after the time appointed for such meeting, then the meeting shall be adjourned to such date not less than five (5) days thereafter and to such time and place as may be designated by the chairman of such meeting. At such adjourned meeting, the Series 13 Holders present or represented by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called and the Series 13 Holders then present or represented by proxy shall form the necessary quorum.

iv.

For any matter described in this Section 2(B)(c) to this Part XIV of Schedule A in which the Series 13 Holders are entitled to vote as a series (whether separately or together with the holders of any Series 13 Parity Securities), such Series 13 Holders shall be entitled to one vote per Series 13 Preferred Unit. The proxy rules applicable to, the formalities to be observed in respect of the giving notice of, and the formalities to be observed in respect of the conduct of, any meeting or any adjourned meeting of Series 13 Holders shall be those from time to time prescribed by the Agreement with respect to meetings of unitholders or, if not so prescribed, as required by law. Any Series 13 Preferred Units held by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or their Affiliates shall not be entitled to vote.

- 12 -

Notwithstanding Section 2(B)(c)(ii) to this Part XIV of Schedule A and Section 5.4 of Part I of Schedule A to this Agreement, no vote of the Series 13 Holders shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such action is to take effect, provision is made for the redemption of all Series 13 Preferred Units at the time Outstanding.

Optional Redemption; Series 13 Ratings Event; Change in Tax Law.

The Partnership shall have the right (i) at any time, and from time to time, on or after October 15, 2025, in whole or in part, (ii) prior to October 15, 2025, at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by the Partnership following the occurrence of a Series 13 Ratings Event, in whole but not in part, or (iii) if as a result of a Change in Tax Law there is, in the Partnership’s reasonable determination, a substantial probability that the Partnership or any Successor Entity would become obligated to pay any Additional Amounts on the next succeeding Series 13 Distribution Payment Date and the payment of those Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to the Partnership or any Successor Entity (a “Tax Event”), in whole but not in part, to redeem the Series 13 Preferred Units, using any source of funds legally available for such purpose. Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the General Partner (the “Series 13 Redemption Date”). The Partnership shall effect any such redemption by paying cash for each Series 13 Preferred Unit to be redeemed equal to 100% (in the case of a redemption described in clauses (i) and (iii) of this Section 2(B)(d)(i) to this Part XIV of Schedule A), or 102% (in the case of a redemption described in clause (ii) of this Section 2(B)(d)(i) to this Part XIV of Schedule A), of the Series 13 Liquidation Preference for such Series 13 Preferred Unit on such Series 13 Redemption Date plus an amount equal to all unpaid Series 13 Distributions thereon from the Series 13 Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Series 13 Redemption Date (whether or not such distributions shall have been declared) (the “Series 13 Redemption Price”). So long as the Series 13 Preferred Units to be redeemed are held of record by the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, the Series 13 Redemption Price shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Depositary on the Series 13 Redemption Date.

ii.

The Partnership shall give notice of any redemption by mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the scheduled Series 13 Redemption Date to the Series 13 Holders (as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of any Series 13 Preferred Units to be redeemed as such Series 13 Holders’ names appear on the books of the Series 13 Transfer Agent and at the address of such Series 13 Holders shown therein. Such notice (the “Series 13 Redemption Notice”) shall state, as applicable: (1) the Series 13 Redemption Date, (2) the number of Series 13 Preferred Units to be redeemed and, if less than all Outstanding Series 13 Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the number (and in the case of Series 13 Preferred Units in certificated form, the identification) of Series 13 Preferred Units to be redeemed from such Series 13 Holder, (3) the Series 13 Redemption Price, (4) the place where any Series 13 Preferred Units in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Series 13 Redemption Price therefor (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series 13 Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Depositary or its nominee), and (5) that distributions on the Series 13 Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accrue from and after such Series 13 Redemption Date. So long as the Series 13 Preferred Units are held of record by the Depositary or its nominee, the Partnership shall give notice, or cause notice to be given, to the Depositary.

- 13 -

iii.

If less than all of the then Outstanding Series 13 Preferred Units are at any time to be redeemed, then the particular Series 13 Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis disregarding fractions or in such manner as the General Partner in its sole discretion may, by resolution determine. The aggregate Series 13 Redemption Price for any such partial redemption of the Outstanding Series 13 Preferred Units shall be allocated correspondingly among the redeemed Series 13 Preferred Units. The Series 13 Preferred Units not redeemed shall remain Outstanding and entitled to all the rights, preferences and duties provided in this Section 2 to this Part XIV of Schedule A.

iv.

If the Partnership gives or causes to be given a Series 13 Redemption Notice, the Partnership shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the Series 13 Preferred Units as to which such Series 13 Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Series 13 Redemption Date, and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Series 13 Redemption Price to each Series 13 Holder whose Series 13 Preferred Units are to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series 13 Preferred Units is issued in the name of the Depositary or its nominee) of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Series 13 Redemption Notice. If a Series 13 Redemption Notice shall have been given, from and after the Series 13 Redemption Date, unless the Partnership defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Series 13 Redemption Notice, all Series 13 Distributions on such Series 13 Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease to accrue and all rights of holders of such Series 13 Preferred Units as Limited Partners with respect to such Series 13 Preferred Units to be redeemed shall cease, except the right to receive the Series 13 Redemption Price, and such Series 13 Preferred Units shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Series 13 Transfer Agent or be deemed to be Outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. The Series 13 Holders shall have no claim to the interest income, if any, earned on funds deposited with the Paying Agent. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Partnership for any reason, including redemption of Series 13 Preferred Units, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after one year after the applicable Series 13 Redemption Date or other payment date, as applicable, shall be, to the extent permitted by law, repaid to the Partnership upon its written request, after which repayment the Series 13 Holders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Partnership. Notwithstanding any Series 13 Redemption Notice, there shall be no redemption of any Series 13 Preferred Units called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full Series 13 Redemption Price of such Series 13 Preferred Units shall have been deposited by the Partnership with the Paying Agent.

- 14 -

Any Series 13 Preferred Units that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled. If only a portion of the Series 13 Preferred Units represented by a Certificate shall have been called for redemption, upon surrender of the Certificate to the Paying Agent (which shall occur automatically if the Certificate representing such Series 13 Preferred Units is registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee), the Partnership shall issue and the Paying Agent shall deliver to the Series 13 Holders a new Certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of Series 13 Preferred Units represented by the surrendered Certificate that have not been called for redemption.

vi.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2 to this Part XIV of Schedule A, unless all accrued and unpaid Series 13 Distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed Series 13 Distribution Period, and all accrued and unpaid distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed period for which distributions were payable on all Series 13 Preferred Units and Series 13 Parity Securities, have been declared and paid or set apart for payment, the Partnership shall not be permitted to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Series 13 Preferred Units or Series 13 Parity Securities, except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same relative terms to all Series 13 Holders and holders of any Series 13 Parity Securities. So long as any Series 13 Preferred Units are Outstanding, except out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue of Series 13 Junior Securities, unless all accrued and unpaid Series 13 Distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed Series 13 Distribution Period, and all accrued and unpaid distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed period for which distributions were payable on all Series 13 Preferred Units and Series 13 Parity Securities, have been declared and paid or set apart for payment, the Partnership shall not be permitted to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any Equity Units or any other Series 13 Junior Securities.

e. Payment of Additional Amounts.

The Partnership shall make all payments on the Series 13 Preferred Units free and clear of and without withholding or deduction at source for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, fees, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, unless such taxes, fees, duties, assessments or governmental charges are required to be withheld or deducted by (i) the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (ii) an official position regarding the application, administration, interpretation or enforcement of any such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a taxing authority in any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction). If a withholding or deduction at source is required, the Partnership shall, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth in this Section 2(B)(e) and Section 2(B)(f) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, pay to the Series 13 Holders such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as distributions as may be necessary so that every net payment made to such holders, after such withholding or deduction (including any such withholding or deduction from such Additional Amounts), shall be equal to the amounts the Partnership would otherwise have been required to pay had no such withholding or deduction been required.

- 15 -

ii.

The Partnership shall not be required to pay any Additional Amounts for or on account of:

(a)

any tax, fee, duty, assessment or governmental charge of whatever nature that would not have been imposed but for the fact that such holder was a resident, domiciliary or national of, or engaged in business or maintained a permanent establishment or was physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or otherwise had some connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction other than by reason of the mere ownership of, or receipt of payment under, the Series 13 Preferred Units or any Series 13 Preferred Units presented for payment (where presentation is required for payment) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (except to the extent that the holder would have been entitled to such amounts if it had presented such units for payment on any day within such 30 day period). The “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any payment, the date on which such payment first becomes due and payable, but if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been received by the Paying Agent on or prior to such due date, it means the first date on which the full amount of such moneys having been so received and being available for payment to holders and notice to that effect shall have been duly given to the Series 13 Holders;

(b)

any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge or any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payment of the liquidation preference or of any distributions on the Series 13 Preferred Units;

(c)

any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the holder of such Series 13 Preferred Units to comply with any reasonable request by the Partnership addressed to the holder within 90 days of such request (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirement that is required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge;

- 16 -

(d)

any tax, fee, duty, assessment or governmental charge imposed under the Code; or

(e)

any combination of the foregoing.

iii.

In addition, the Partnership shall not pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment on any such Series 13 Preferred Units to any holder that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity other than the sole beneficial owner of such Series 13 Preferred Units if such payment would be required by the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or partner or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership, limited liability company or other pass-through entity or a beneficial owner to the extent such beneficiary, partner or settlor would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the holder of the Series 13 Preferred Units.

f. Substitution or Variation.

At any time following a Tax Event, the Partnership may, without the consent of any Series 13 Holder, vary the terms of the Series 13 Preferred Units such that they remain securities, or exchange the Series 13 Preferred Units with new securities, which would eliminate the substantial probability that the Partnership or any Successor Entity would be required to pay any Additional Amounts with respect to the Series 13 Preferred Units as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The terms of the varied securities or new securities considered in the aggregate cannot be less favorable to holders than the terms of the Series 13 Preferred Units prior to being varied or exchanged; provided that no such variation of terms or securities received in exchange shall change the specified denominations of, distribution payable on, the redemption dates (other than any extension of the period during which an optional redemption may not be exercised by the Partnership) or currency of, the Series 13 Preferred Units, reduce the liquidation preference thereof, lower the ranking in right of payment with respect to the payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Series 13 Preferred Units, or change the foregoing list of items that may not be so amended as part of such variation or exchange. Further, no such variation of terms or securities received in exchange shall impair the right of a holder of the securities to institute suit for the payment of any amounts due, but unpaid with respect to such holder’s securities.

ii.

Prior to any variation or exchange, the Partnership shall be required to receive an opinion of independent legal advisers to the effect that holders and beneficial owners of the Series 13 Preferred Units (including as holders and beneficial owners of the varied or exchanged securities) will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such variation or exchange and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case had such variation or exchange not occurred.

- 17 -

iii.

Any variation or exchange of the Series 13 Preferred Units described above shall be made after notice is given to the Series 13 Holders not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for variation or exchange, as applicable.

g. Liquidation Rights. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, unless the Partnership is continued under the election to reconstitute and continue the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Agreement, the Series 13 Holders shall be entitled to receive the Series 13 Liquidation Preference per Series 13 Preferred Unit held by them, together with all accrued (whether or not declared) and unpaid Series 13 Distributions up to but excluding the date of payment or distribution (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld by the Partnership), before any amounts shall be paid or any assets of the Partnership distributed to the holders of any Series 13 Junior Securities. Upon payment of the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Series 13 Holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Partnership.

h. Rank. The Series 13 Preferred Units shall each be deemed to rank as to payment of distributions on such Partnership Interests and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary:

senior to any Series 13 Junior Securities;

ii.

on parity in right of payment with any Series 13 Parity Securities; and

iii.

junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Partnership with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Partnership and any other Series 13 Senior Securities.

i. No Sinking Fund. The Series 13 Preferred Units shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

j. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner, the Partnership, the Series 13 Transfer Agent, and the Paying Agent may deem and treat any Series 13 Holder as the true, lawful, and absolute owner of the applicable Series 13 Preferred Units for all purposes, and neither the General Partner, the Partnership, the Series 13 Transfer Agent nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any Securities Exchange on which the Series 13 Preferred Units may be listed or admitted to trading, if any.

k. Other Rights; Fiduciary Duties. The Series 13 Preferred Units and the Series 13 Holders shall not have any designations, preferences, rights, powers, guarantees or duties, other than as set forth in this Agreement or as provided by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty existing at law, in equity or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnified Party shall owe any duties, including fiduciary duties, or have any liabilities to Series 13 Holders, other than the General Partner’s duty to act at all times in good faith.

The authorized number of Series 13 Units shall be unlimited. Series 13 Units that are purchased or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled.

- 6 -

ii.

The Series 13 Units shall be represented by one or more Certificates (or in book entry) on the books and records of the Partnership in the name of the Series 13 Holder.

Distributions.

Distributions on each Outstanding Series 13 Unit shall be cumulative and shall accrue at the applicable Series 13 Distribution Rate from and including the Series 13 Original Issue Date (or, for any subsequently issued and newly Outstanding Series 13 Units, from and including the Series 13 Distribution Payment Date immediately preceding the issue date of such Series 13 Units) until such time as the Partnership pays the Series 13 Distribution or redeems such Series 13 Unit in accordance with Section 2(B)(d) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, whether or not such Series 13 Distributions shall have been declared. Series 13 Holders shall be entitled to receive Series 13 Distributions from time to time out of any assets of the Partnership legally available for the payment of distributions at the Series 13 Distribution Rate per Series 13 Unit when, as, and, if declared by the Managing General Partner. Series 13 Distributions, to the extent declared by the Managing General Partner to be paid by the Partnership in accordance with this Section 2(B)(b) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, shall be paid, in Arrears, on each Series 13 Distribution Payment Date. Series 13 Distributions shall accrue in each Series 13 Distribution Period, provided that distributions shall accrue on accrued but unpaid Series 13 Distributions at the Series 13 Distribution Rate. If any Series 13 Distribution Payment Date otherwise would occur on a date that is not a Business Day, declared Series 13 Distributions shall be paid on the immediately succeeding Business Day without the accrual of additional distributions. Series 13 Distributions shall be payable based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. All Series 13 Distributions that are (1) accrued and unpaid or (2) payable by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 2(B)(b) or 2(B)(e) to this Part XIV of Schedule A shall be payable without regard to the income of the Partnership and shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as guaranteed payments for the use of capital under Section 707(c) of the Code, including for the purpose of determining Net Income and Net Loss and otherwise maintaining Capital Accounts, unless there is a change in Tax law or administrative practice that requires treatment other than as guaranteed payments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as determined in the sole discretion of the Managing General Partner. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the deduction attributable to any amount treated as a guaranteed payment shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner determined by the Managing General Partner in its sole discretion that is not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations. Such guaranteed payments with respect to any Series 13 Distribution Period shall be for the account of the Series 13 Holders as of the applicable Series 13 Distribution Record Date, or as otherwise reasonably determined by the Managing General Partner.

iii.

Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Series 13 Distribution Payment Date, the Partnership shall pay those Series 13 Distributions, if any, that shall have been declared by the Managing General Partner to Series 13 Holders on the Record Date for the applicable Series 13 Distribution. The Record Date (the “Series 13 Distribution Record Date”) for the payment of any Series 13 Distributions shall be the last business day of the calendar month prior to the applicable Series 13 Distribution Payment Date, or such other record date as may be fixed by the Managing General Partner in accordance with this Section 2 to this Part XIV of Schedule A. So long as any Series 13 Units are Outstanding, no distribution shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment on any Junior Securities (other than a distribution payable solely in Junior Securities) unless all accrued and unpaid Series 13 Distributions up to and including such distributions payable for the last completed Series 13 Distribution Period, and all accrued and unpaid distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed period for which distributions were payable on all Parity Securities, have been declared and paid or set apart for payment; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(B)(b)(iii) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, if a distribution period with respect to a class of Junior Securities or Parity Securities is shorter than the Series 13 Distribution Period, the Managing General Partner may declare and pay regular distributions with respect to such Junior Securities or Parity Securities, so long as, at the time of declaration of such distribution, (i) there are no Series 13 Distributions in Arrears, and (ii) the Managing General Partner expects to have sufficient funds to pay the full distribution in respect of the Series 13 Units on the next successive Series 13 Distribution Payment Date. Accrued Series 13 Distributions in Arrears for any past Series 13 Distribution Period may be declared by the Managing General Partner and paid on any date fixed by the Managing General Partner, whether or not a Series 13 Distribution Payment Date, to Series 13 Holders on the Record Date for such payment, which may not be less than 10 days before such payment date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accrued Series 13 Distributions in Arrears on all Outstanding Series 13 Units and all accrued distributions in arrears on any Parity Securities shall not have been declared and paid, or if sufficient funds for the payment thereof shall not have been set apart, payment of accrued distributions in Arrears on the Series 13 Units and accrued distributions in arrears on any such Parity Securities shall be made in order of their respective distribution payment dates, commencing with the earliest distribution payment date. If less than all distributions payable with respect to all Series 13 Units and any other Parity Securities are to be paid for any distribution period, any partial payment shall be made pro rata with respect to the Series 13 Units and any such other Parity Securities entitled to a distribution payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate distribution amounts remaining due in respect of such Series 13 Units and such other Parity Securities, if any, at such time and apportioned equally among them in accordance with the relative amount to be paid or allocated to each group. For purposes of the preceding sentence, each distribution period for the Series 13 Preferred Units that ends on the fifteenth day of March, June, September or December of any year shall be deemed the same distribution period as the distribution period for Series 13 Parity Securities that ends on the last day of March, June, September or December, respectively, of such year. Subject to Sections 17.4 of this Agreement and Section 2(B)(f) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, Series 13 Holders shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or Partnership Interests, in excess of full cumulative Series 13 Distributions. Except insofar as distributions accrue on the amount of any accrued and unpaid Series 13 Distributions as described in Section 2(B)(b)(i) to this Part XIV of Schedule A, no interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment which may be in Arrears on the Series 13 Units. Declared Series 13 Distributions shall be paid to the Series 13 Holders in same-day funds on each Series 13 Distribution Payment Date or other distribution payment date in the case of payments for Series 13 Distributions in Arrears.

Voting Rights.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Series 13 Units shall not have any voting rights or rights to consent or approve any action or matter, except as set forth in Sections 5.4 and 6 of Part I of Schedule A to this Agreement, this Section 2(B)(c) to this Part XIV of Schedule A or as otherwise required by Bermuda law.

ii.

The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the Series 13 Units may be added to, changed or removed but only with the approval of the holders of a majority of the Outstanding Series 13 Units, given as hereinafter specified.

iii.

The approval of the holders of the Series 13 Units as a series in respect of any matter requiring the consent of the holders of the Series 13 Units as a series may be given in such manner as may then be required by Law, subject to a minimum requirement that such approval be passed by the requisite affirmative vote of the votes cast at a meeting of the holders of Series 13 Units as a series duly called and held for that purpose in accordance with Article 18 of this Agreement or given by resolution signed by holders of Series 13 Units as a series in accordance with Article 18 of this Agreement.

iv.

Each Series 13 Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote for the purposes of any approval at a meeting of the holders of the Series 13 Units or by written consent.

Optional Redemption.

The Partnership shall have the right to redeem the Series 13 Units (i) at any time, and from time to time, on or after October 15, 2025, in whole or in part, (ii) prior to October 15, 2025, if BIP redeems the BIP Series 13 Units pursuant to a BIP Series 13 Ratings Event, in whole but not in part or (iii) if BIP redeems the BIP Series 13 Units following a BIP Series 13 Change in Tax Law where, in BIP’s reasonable determination, a substantial probability that BIP or any BIP Series 13 Successor Entity would become obligated to pay any BIP Series 13 Additional Amounts on the next succeeding distribution payment date with respect to the BIP Series 13 Units and the payment of those BIP Series 13 Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of any reasonable measures available to BIP or any BIP Series 13 Successor Entity, in whole but not in part, using any source of funds legally available for such purpose. Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the Managing General Partner (the “Series 13 Redemption Date”). The Partnership shall effect any such redemption by paying cash for each Series 13 Unit to be redeemed equal to 100% (in the case of a redemption described in clauses (i) and (iii) of this Section 2(B)(d)(i) to this Part XIV of Schedule A), or 102% (in the case of a redemption described in clause (ii) of this Section 2(B)(d)(i) to this Part XIV of Schedule A), of the Series 13 Liquidation Preference for such Series 13 Unit on such Series 13 Redemption Date plus an amount equal to all unpaid Series 13 Distributions thereon from the Series 13 Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Series 13 Redemption Date (whether or not such distributions shall have been declared) (the “Series 13 Redemption Price”). The Series 13 Redemption Price shall be paid by the Partnership to the Series 13 Holders on the Series 13 Redemption Date.

- 9 -

ii.

The Partnership shall give notice of any redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the scheduled Series 13 Redemption Date to the Series 13 Holders (as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of any Series 13 Units to be redeemed as such Series 13 Holders’ names appear on the books of the Partnership and at the address of such Series 13 Holders shown therein.

iii.

If the Partnership elects to redeem less than all of the Outstanding Series 13 Units in the event of an optional redemption on or after October 15, 2025, the number of Series 13 Units to be redeemed shall be determined by the Managing General Partner, and such Series 13 Units shall be redeemed by such method of selection as the Managing General Partner shall determine, either apportioned equally among all Series 13 Holders in accordance with the relative number or percentage of Series 13 Units held by each such Series 13 Holder or by lot, with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional Series 13 Units. The aggregate Series 13 Redemption Price for any such partial redemption of the Outstanding Series 13 Units shall be allocated correspondingly among the redeemed Series 13 Units. The Series 13 Units not redeemed shall remain Outstanding and entitled to all the rights, preferences and duties provided in this Section 2 to this Part XIV of Schedule A.

iv.

No later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Series 13 Redemption Date, the Partnership shall pay or cause to be paid to the Series 13 Holders immediately available funds sufficient to pay the Series 13 Redemption Price to each Series 13 Holder whose Series 13 Units are to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender of the Certificates (or book entry position) therefor.

- 10 -

Any Series 13 Units that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Partnership shall be cancelled. If only a portion of the Series 13 Units represented by a Certificate shall have been called for redemption, upon surrender of the Certificate to the Partnership, the Partnership shall issue and deliver to the Series 13 Holders a new Certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of Series 13 Units represented by the surrendered Certificate that have not been called for redemption.

vi.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2 to this Part XIV of Schedule A, unless all accrued and unpaid Series 13 Distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed Series 13 Distribution Period, and all accrued and unpaid distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed period for which distributions were payable on all Parity Securities, have been declared and paid or set apart for payment, the Partnership shall not be permitted to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Series 13 Units or Parity Securities, except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same relative terms to all Series 13 Holders and holders of any Parity Securities. So long as any Series 13 Units are Outstanding, except out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue of Junior Securities, unless all accrued and unpaid Series 13 Distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed Series 13 Distribution Period, and all accrued and unpaid distributions up to and including the distribution payable for the last completed period for which distributions were payable on all Parity Securities, have been declared and paid or set apart for payment, the Partnership shall not be permitted to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any Equity Units or any other Junior Securities.

e. Payment of Additional Amounts. If BIP shall be required, pursuant to Section 2(B)(e) of Part XIV of Schedule A of the BIP Partnership Agreement to pay additional amounts to holders of the BIP Series 13 Units, the Partnership shall pay to the Series 13 Holders such additional amounts as distributions on the Series 13 Units as may be necessary such that the additional amounts paid as distributions by the Partnership shall equal the additional amounts paid by BIP pursuant to 2(B)(e) of Part XIV of Schedule A of the BIP Partnership Agreement.

f. Liquidation Rights. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership, whether voluntary or involuntary, unless the Partnership is continued under the election to reconstitute and continue the Partnership pursuant to Section 17.3 of this Agreement, the Series 13 Holders shall be entitled to receive the Series 13 Liquidation Preference per Series 13 Unit held by them, together with all accrued (whether or not declared) and unpaid Series 13 Distributions up to but excluding the date of payment or distribution (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld by the Partnership), before any amounts shall be paid or any assets of the Partnership distributed to the holders of any Junior Securities. Upon payment of such amounts, the Series 13 Holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Partnership.

g. No Sinking Fund. The Series 13 Units shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

- 11 -

h. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Managing General Partner and the Partnership may deem and treat any Series 13 Holder as the true, lawful, and absolute owner of the applicable Series 13 Units for all purposes, and neither the Managing General Partner nor the Partnership shall be affected by any notice to the contrary, except as otherwise provided by law.

i. Other Rights; Fiduciary Duties. The Series 13 Units and the Series 13 Holders shall not have any designations, preferences, rights, powers or duties, other than as set forth in this Agreement or as provided by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty existing at law, in equity or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Managing General Partner nor any other Indemnified Party shall owe any duties, including fiduciary duties, or have any liabilities to Series 13 Holders, other than the Managing General Partner’s duty to act at all times in good faith.

Dear Sirs

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P.

We have acted as legal advisers as to matters of Bermuda law to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Islands of Bermuda (Partnership). We have been requested to render this opinion to you in connection with the filing by the Partnership of a prospectus supplement dated 14 September 2020 (Prospectus Supplement) to the Partnership’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (Reg. No. 333-232256) (Registration Statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 8,000,000 of 5.125% Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units, Series 13 (Units) of the Partnership.

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

Assumptions

In stating our opinion we have assumed:

the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of all Documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original Documents of all Documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, notarized or photostatic copies;

the genuineness of all signatures on the Documents;

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

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

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

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

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

Opinion

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

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

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

Reservations

We have the following reservations:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10.

Due to the current situation relating to COVID-19, our protocols prevent us from conducting physical company, partnership or litigation searches or from determining whether any charges are registered against the Partnership. Therefore, for the purposes of giving this opinion we have relied on the Electronic Extract and the Officer’s Certificate re: Searches, the contents of which we have not verified.

Disclosure

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

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

Yours faithfully

Re:

United States Federal Income Tax Opinion

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed that (i) the transactions described in the Prospectus Supplement will be consummated in the manner set forth therein; (ii) the representations made in the Certificate are true, correct, and complete and will remain true, correct, and complete at all times; (iii) any representation set forth in the Certificate qualified by knowledge, intention, belief, or any similar qualification is and will remain true, correct, and complete without regard to such qualification; and (iv) each of BIP, the Holding LP, and each Fiscally Transparent Subsidiary (as such term is defined in the Certificate) operates and will continue to operate in accordance with certain operating guidelines set forth in such Certificate. In addition, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions, and limitations stated herein and in the Prospectus Supplement, we are of the opinion that (i) the statements set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS,” insofar as they express conclusions as to the application of United States federal income tax law, represent our opinion as to the matters discussed therein; and (ii) as of the date hereof, each of BIP and the Holding LP will be classified as a partnership and not as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

Our opinion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, and case law, in each case as currently in effect and subject to change at any time with retroactive effect. Any change in applicable laws or facts and circumstances, or any inaccuracy in the statements, facts, assumptions, or representations on which we have relied, may affect the continuing validity of the opinion set forth herein. We assume no responsibility to inform you of any such change or inaccuracy. No opinion is expressed concerning any law other than the federal income tax law of the United States.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Prospectus Supplement and to the references to our firm under the captions “MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS” and “LEGAL MATTERS” in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby agree that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required by the Act or the rules thereunder.

Very truly yours,
