Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Guarantee, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

1.4 Acts of Holders

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Guarantee to be given or taken by one or more Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed by them in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Security Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Guarantor and/or the Partnership. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Unit, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Guarantee and conclusive in favour of the Security Trustee, the Guarantor and the Partnership, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than its individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Security Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) If the Guarantor shall solicit from Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Guarantor may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Guarantor shall have no obligation to do so. Such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite percentage of outstanding Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units or Series thereof have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units or Series (as applicable) shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee not later than eleven months after the record date.

1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver

Where this Guarantee provides for notice of any event to Holders by the Guarantor or the Security Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder at the Holder's address as it appears in the list of Holders as provided by the Partnership, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or in any other manner from time to time permitted by applicable laws, including, without limitation, internet-based or other electronic communications.

(i) any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units or this Guarantee;

This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations must or may be rescinded, is declared or may become voidable, or must or may otherwise be returned by any Holders for any reason, including the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution or reorganization of the Partnership or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Partnership or any substantial part of its property, all as though such payment had not been made. If at any time the Partnership is precluded from making payment when due in respect of any Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations by reason of the provisions of its organizational documents or otherwise, such amounts shall nonetheless be deemed to be due and payable by the Partnership to the Holders for all purposes of this Guarantee and the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations shall be immediately due and payable to the Holders. This is a guarantee of payment, and not merely a deficiency or collection guarantee.

2.7 Rights of Holders

The Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this Guarantee will be deposited with the Security Trustee to be held for the benefit of the Holders and the Security Trustee has the right to enforce this Guarantee on behalf of the Holders.

2.8 Subrogation

The Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation in respect of any payment made to the Holders hereunder until such time as the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations have been fully satisfied. In the case of the liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or bankruptcy of the Partnership (whether voluntary or involuntary), or if the Partnership makes an arrangement or compromise or proposal with its creditors, the Holders shall have the right to rank for their full claim and to receive all distributions or other payments in respect thereof until their claims in respect of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations have been paid in full, and the Guarantor shall continue to be liable to the Holders for any balance which may be owing to the Holders by the Partnership in respect thereof. The Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations shall not, however, be released, discharged, limited or affected by the failure or omission of the Holders to prove the whole or part of any claim against the Partnership. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on account of any subrogation arising hereunder at any time when the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations are due and owing and have not been fully satisfied, such amount shall be held in trust by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto and shall forthwith be paid to such Holders to be credited and applied against their Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations.

2.9 Independent Obligations

The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Partnership with respect to the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units and that the Guarantor shall be liable to make payment of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a) through (k), inclusive, of Section 2.5 and regardless of whether the Holders make a demand upon the Guarantor. The Guarantor will pay the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations in accordance with this Guarantee without regard to any equities between it and the Partnership or any defence or right of set-off, compensation, abatement, combination of accounts or cross-claim that it or the Partnership may have.

2.10 Guarantor to Investigate Financial Condition of the Partnership

The Guarantor acknowledges that it has fully informed itself about the financial condition of the Partnership. The Guarantor assumes full responsibility for keeping fully informed of the financial condition of the Partnership and all other circumstances affecting the Partnership's ability to pay the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations.

ARTICLE 3
SUBORDINATION OF OBLIGATIONS TO SENIOR GUARANTOR OBLIGATIONS AND PARI PASSU RANKING WITH CERTAIN OTHER OBLIGATIONS

3.1 Applicability of Article

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in the following sections of this Article 3, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Guarantor Obligations, and are pari passu, on a pro rata basis, with all other Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations and the Security Trustee and each Holder, as a condition to and by acceptance of the benefits conferred hereby, agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 3.

3.2 Order of Payment

Upon any distribution of the assets of the Guarantor on any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Guarantor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an "assignment for the benefit of creditors" or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Guarantor, or otherwise):

(a) all Senior Guarantor Obligations shall first be paid in full, or provision made for such payment, before any payment is made on account of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations;

(b) the claim of the Holders will rank pari passu with the claims of all holders of the Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations and each such Person will be entitled to receive its pro rata share of the remaining assets of the Guarantor based on the amount of its Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable; and

(c) any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or the Security Trustee on behalf of such Holders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 3, shall be paid or delivered by the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other liquidating agent making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, to the extent that they are entitled thereto pursuant to this Article 3, or to their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations may have been issued, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations.

3.3 Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Guarantor Obligations, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Guarantor (to the extent of the application thereto of such payments or other assets which would have been received by the Holders but for the provisions hereof) until the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations shall be paid in full, and no such payments or distributions to the Holders of cash, property or securities, which otherwise would be payable or distributable to the holders of such Senior Guarantor Obligations, shall, as between the Guarantor, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations and Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations), and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Guarantor to the holders of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or on account of such Senior Guarantor Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this Article 3 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations, on the other hand.

3.4 Obligation to Pay Not Impaired

Nothing contained in this Article 3 or elsewhere in this Guarantee is intended to or shall impair, as between the Guarantor, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations), and the Holders, the obligation of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations in accordance herewith, as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with this Guarantee, or affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Guarantor (other than the holders of the Senior Guarantor Obligations and Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations); nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Security Trustee or the Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Guarantee, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 3 of the holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations in respect of cash, property or securities of the Guarantor that are received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

3.5 No Payment if Senior Guarantor Obligations in Default

Upon the acceleration, demand or maturity of any Senior Guarantor Obligations whether by lapse of time, acceleration, demand or otherwise, then, except as provided in Section 3.6, such matured Senior Guarantor Obligations shall first be paid in full, or shall first have been duly provided for, before any payment by the Guarantor is made on account of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations.

In case of default with respect to any Senior Guarantor Obligations that permits the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment (by purchase of the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units or otherwise) shall be made by the Guarantor with respect to the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations, and neither the Security Trustee nor the Holders shall be entitled to demand, institute proceedings for the collection of, or receive any payment or benefit from the Guarantor (including without limitation by set-off, combination of accounts or otherwise in any manner whatsoever) on account of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations after the happening of such a default (except as provided in Section 3.6), and unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, such payments received from the Guarantor shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and, if and when the Senior Guarantor Obligations shall have become due and payable, shall be paid over to, the holders of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing an amount of such Senior Guarantor Obligations remaining unpaid, until all such Senior Guarantor Obligations shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Guarantor Obligations.

The fact that any payment hereunder is prohibited by this Section 3.5 shall not prevent the failure to make such payment from being an Event of Default hereunder.

3.6 Payment on Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units Permitted

Nothing contained in this Article 3 or elsewhere in this Guarantee, or in any of the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units, shall affect the obligation of the Guarantor to make, or prevent the Guarantor from making, at any time except during the pendency of any dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the Guarantor or reorganization proceedings specified in Section 3.2 affecting the affairs of the Guarantor, any payment on account of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations, except that the Guarantor shall not make any such payment other than as contemplated by this Article 3, if it is in default in payment of any of its Senior Guarantor Obligations. The fact that any such payment is prohibited by this Section 3.6 shall not prevent the failure to make such payment from being an Event of Default hereunder. Nothing contained in this Article 3 or elsewhere in this Guarantee, or in any of the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units, shall prevent the application by the Security Trustee of any moneys deposited with the Security Trustee hereunder for the purpose so deposited, to the payment of or on account of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations unless and until the Security Trustee shall have received written notice from the Guarantor or from any holder of Senior Guarantor Obligations or from the representative of any such holder of default with respect to any Senior Guarantor Obligations permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof and that all applicable notices have been issued and cure periods have expired in respect of such default.

3.7 Confirmation of Subordination or Pari Passu Ranking

As a condition to the benefits conferred hereby on each Holder, each such Holder by acceptance of the benefits conferred hereby authorizes and directs the Security Trustee, on such Holder's behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 3, and appoints the Security Trustee as such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Upon request of the Guarantor, and upon being furnished with an Officer's Certificate stating that one or more named persons are holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, or the representative or representatives of such holders, or the trustee or trustees under which any instrument evidencing such Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations may have been issued, and specifying the amount and nature of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, the Security Trustee shall enter into a written agreement or agreements with the Guarantor and the person or persons named in such Officer's Certificate providing that such person or persons are entitled to all the rights and benefits of this Article 3 as the holder or holders, representative or representatives, or trustee or trustees of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, specified in such Officer's Certificate and in such agreement. Such agreement shall be conclusive evidence that the indebtedness specified therein is Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, however, nothing herein shall impair the rights of any holder of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations who has not entered into such an agreement.

3.8 Security Trustee May Hold Senior Guarantor Obligations and Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations

The Security Trustee is entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 3 with respect to any Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, and nothing in this Guarantee deprives the Security Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

3.9 Rights of Holders of Senior Guarantor Obligations and Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations Not Impaired

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations to enforce the subordination herein will at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Guarantor or by any non-compliance by the Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Guarantee, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

3.10 Altering Senior Guarantor Obligations and Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations

A holder of Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations has the right to extend, renew, modify or amend the terms of such Senior Guarantor Obligations or Pari Passu Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, or any security therefor and to release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise to deal freely with the Guarantor or any other Person, all without notice to or consent of the Holders or the Security Trustee and without affecting the subordination herein, the liabilities and obligations of the parties to this Guarantee or the Holders or the Security Trustee.

3.11 Additional Indebtedness

This Guarantee does not restrict the Guarantor from incurring any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations or from encumbering, mortgaging, pledging or charging its properties to secure any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations.

4.2 Suits for Enforcement by the Security Trustee

In the event that the Guarantor fails to pay any Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations as required pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee (an "Event of Default"), the applicable Holders may, subject to Section 4.6, institute judicial proceedings for the collection of the moneys so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceedings to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Partnership and/or the Guarantor and may collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Guarantor subject to the provisions of Article 3.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Security Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders, upon being indemnified and funded to its satisfaction by the Holders, by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Security Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Guarantee or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

4.3 Security Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Guarantor or the property of the Guarantor and while such proceeding is pending, the Security Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for any Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligation then due and payable and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Security Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Security Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance with this Guarantee,

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Security Trustee.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Security Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Security Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

4.4 Security Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units

All rights of action and claims under this Guarantee may be prosecuted and enforced by the Security Trustee without the possession of any of the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Security Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Security Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the rateable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

4.5 Application of Money Collected

Any money collected by the Security Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order:

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Security Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to this Guarantee;

(b) the Holders representing not less than 25% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all of the then outstanding Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units affected by such Event of Default ("Defaulted Class A Preferred LP Units") shall have made written request to the Security Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Security Trustee hereunder;

(c) the Holders of the Defaulted Class A Preferred LP Units have provided to the Security Trustee reasonable funding, if requested by the Security Trustee, and reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Security Trustee, for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Security Trustee during such 15-day period by the Holders representing a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Defaulted Class A Preferred LP Units;

it being understood and intended that no Holder shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Guarantee to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holder or to enforce any right under this Guarantee, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and rateable benefit of all Holders.

4.7 Restoration of Rights and Remedies

If the Security Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Guarantee and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Security Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Guarantor, the Security Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their respective former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Security Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

4.8 Rights and Remedies Cumulative

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Security Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

4.9 Delay or Omission Not Waiver

No delay or omission of the Security Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, provided that any Event of Default that is cured by the Guarantor will thereafter cease to constitute an Event of Default for purposes of this Guarantee. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Security Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Security Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

4.10 Control by Holders

The Holders representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Defaulted Class A Preferred LP Units shall have the right, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Security Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Security Trustee, with respect to this Guarantee, provided that in each case:

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Guarantee;

(b) the Security Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Security Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and

(c) the Security Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not consenting to any such direction.

The Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Guarantee; and the Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Security Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

4.12 Undertaking for Costs

All parties to this Guarantee agree, and each Holder by acceptance of the benefits hereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Guarantee, or in any suit against the Security Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Security Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable lawyers' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Guarantor, (b) any suit instituted by the Security Trustee, or (c) any suit instituted in accordance with this Guarantee by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Class A Preferred LP Unit Obligations.

(ii) the Holders of a Series so especially affected will not be bound by any action taken at a serial meeting unless in addition to compliance with the other provisions of this Article 11 at such meeting:

(A) there are present in person or by proxy, holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units of such Series; and

(B) the resolution is passed by votes of more than 50% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units of such Series present in person or by proxy then outstanding; provided, however, that a resolution to approve (i) a reduction of the percentage of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Series required for any supplemental indenture hereto, any waiver of compliance with this Guarantee or any default hereunder in respect of such Series and its consequence provided for in this Guarantee, or to reduce the requirements of Section 11.4 for quorum or voting with respect to such Series and the Guarantee; or (ii) to modify any of the provisions of this Section 11.7 with respect to such Series, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Guarantee cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holders of such Series, requires the approval of Holders of 66⅔% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Series that are present in person or by proxy.

(b) If in the Opinion of Counsel any business to be transacted at any meeting of Holders does not affect the rights of the Holders of one or more Series, the provisions of Section 8.2 and this Article 11 will apply with respect to such business as if the Guaranteed Class A Preferred LP Units of such Series were not outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice will be given to the Holders of such Series of such meeting together with notice that such business does not affect the rights of such Holders.

(hh) "Conversion Factor" means 1.0; provided that in the event that:

(i) BIP (a) declares or pays a distribution on its outstanding BIP Units wholly or partly in BIP Units; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding BIP Units or (c) effects a reverse unit split or otherwise combines or reclassifies its outstanding BIP Units into a smaller number of BIP Units, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of BIP Units issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (assuming for such purpose that such distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of BIP Units (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

Any adjustment under this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If such distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made and will not be so paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the BIP GP determines not to pay such distribution, to the Conversion Factor that would be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(ii) BIP distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of BIP Units to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire BIP Units (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for BIP Units) (each a "BIP Distributed Right"), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such BIP Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such BIP Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of BIP Units issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such BIP Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of BIP Units deliverable or purchasable under such BIP Distributed Rights and (B) the denominator of which shall be (x) the number of BIP Units issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date plus (y) such number of BIP Units determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such BIP Distributed Rights of the maximum number of BIP Units purchasable under such BIP Distributed Rights by the average of the BIP Unit Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such BIP Distributed Rights become exercisable); provided, however, that, if any such BIP Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the BIP Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of BIP Units or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction.

Any adjustment under this clause (ii) will be made successively whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such issuance (or, if later, the date such rights, options or warrants become exercisable). To the extent that the BIP Units are not delivered and will not be delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of BIP Units actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BIP GP determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such BIP Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by BIP for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the BIP GP.

(iii)  (A) BIP distributes to all or substantially all holders of BIP Units evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding distributions paid exclusively in cash, distributions referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) above or any Spin-off referred to in clause (iii)(B) below) or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities (but excluding distributions referred to in clause (ii) above), the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the BIP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BIP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution less the fair market value on the Record Date for such distribution (as determined by the BIP GP) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants so distributed applicable to one BIP Unit.

Any adjustment under this clause (iii)(A) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BIP GP determines not to pay or make such distribution, to be the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair market value (as determined by the BIP GP) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants distributable to one BIP Unit is equal to or greater than the average BIP Unit Value referenced above in this clause (iii)(A), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Class A Shareholder shall receive from the Company, in respect of each Class A Share, a distribution of cash payable out of the funds legally available therefor (at the same time as holders of the BIP Units), that in the determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with the amount of BIP indebtedness or assets or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of BIP Units equal to the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Record Date.

(B) Where there has been a Spin-off, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-off by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the share capital or similar equity interest applicable to one BIP Unit distributed to BIP Unit holders over the Valuation Period plus the average of the BIP Unit Value over the Valuation Period and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BIP Unit Value over the Valuation Period; provided that, the Company may elect to pay cash in lieu of making an adjustment to the Conversion Factor provided by this clause (iii)(B), in which case the Company shall be required to pay to the Class A Shareholders and the Class A Shareholders shall be entitled to receive, cash on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period in an amount in respect of each Class A Share held, calculated by multiplying the BIP Unit Value on the Record Date of such Spin-off by the amount the Conversion Factor would have increased as a result of such Spin-off if no such cash payment was made.

Any adjustment under this clause (iii)(B) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-off.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Class A Shareholder during the Valuation Period, references contained in the definition of Valuation Period to "ten (10) consecutive Trading Days" shall be deemed for the purposes of the foregoing for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Record Date of such Spin-off and the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date in determining the Conversion Factor. If any such Spin-off does not occur, the Conversion Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BIP GP determines not to proceed with the Spin-off, to be the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Spin-off had not been pursued.

(iv) BIP or one of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the BIP Units (but excluding for all purposes any tender or exchange offer involving an offer to exchange BIP Units for Class A Shares or any other security that is economically equivalent to BIP Units), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per BIP Unit exceeds the average of the BIP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the "Expiration Date"), then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be (x) the sum of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the BIP GP) paid or payable in respect of BIP Units in such tender or exchange offer plus (y) the average of the BIP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date multiplied by the number of BIP Units issued and outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all BIP Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer, without duplication), and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of BIP Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (before giving effect to the purchase of all BIP Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer) multiplied by the average of the BIP Unit Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

For greater certainty, no adjustment under this clause (iv) will be made for any normal course issuer bid or similar stock buyback. Any adjustment under this clause (iv) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date and shall be given effect as of the Open of Business on the day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Class A Shareholder during the Valuation Period, references above to "ten (10) consecutive Trading Days" shall be deemed for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Expiration Date and the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date in determining the Conversion Factor.

(v) the Company (a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares wholly or partly in Class A Shares; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding Class A Shares or (c) effects a reverse share split or otherwise combines or reclassifies its outstanding Class A Shares into a smaller number of Class A Shares, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (determined without the assumption for such purpose that such dividend, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Class A Shares (assuming the above assumption has occurred) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

Any adjustment under this clause (v) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such dividend, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If such dividend of the type described in this clause (v) is declared but not so paid or made and will not be so paid or made, the Conversion Factor shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the board of directors determines not to pay such dividend, to the Conversion Factor that would be in effect if such dividend had not been declared.

(vi) the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Class A Shares to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire Class A Shares (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Class A Shares) at a price per share that is less than the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (each a "Class A Distributed Right"), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such Class A Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus (y) such number of Class A Shares determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such Class A Distributed Rights of the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed Rights by the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed Rights; provided, however, that, if any such Class A Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the Class A Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of Class A Shares or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction.

Any adjustment under this clause (vi) will be made successively whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) for such issuance. To the extent that the Class A Shares are not delivered and will not be delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Factor shall be increased to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Class A Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Factor shall be increased, effective as of the date the board of directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such Class A Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the board of directors.

Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall be calculated up to four (4) decimal places. Within ten (10) Business Days of the effectiveness of any adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Factor, the Company shall make a public announcement of such adjustment or readjustment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Factor shall not be adjusted in connection with (a) an event described in clauses (i) through (iv) above (other than clause (iii)(B) above) if, in connection with such event, the Company makes a distribution of cash, Class A Shares, BIP Units and/or rights, options or warrants to acquire Class A Shares and/or BIP Units with respect to all applicable Class A Shares, splits or subdivides the Class A Shares, distributes to all or substantially all holders of Class A Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets or effects a reverse split of, or otherwise combines or makes an offer for, the Class A Shares, as applicable, that, in the determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with such event, (b) a Spin-off as described in clause (iii)(B) above if the Company makes a distribution of the share capital or similar equity interests distributed to BIP Unit holders in the Spin-off in an amount and on terms that are comparable in all material respects to such Spin-off, or (c) an event described in clauses (v) through (vi) above if, in connection with such event, BIP makes a distribution of cash, Class A Shares, BIP Units and/or rights, options or warrants to acquire Class A Shares and/or BIP Units with respect to all BIP Units, splits or subdivides the BIP Units or effects a reverse split of, or otherwise combines or makes an offer for, the BIP Units, as applicable, that, in the determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with such event;

Resolution Instead of Annual General Meeting

A unanimous resolution passed in writing under this §10.2 may be by signed document, fax, email or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded messages. Any electronic signature on a unanimous resolution, whether digital or encrypted, shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as a manual signature.

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

(b) otherwise, 10 days.

Record Date for Notice

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

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

(b) otherwise, 10 days.

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

Failure to Give Notice and Waiver of Notice

Any person entitled to notice of a meeting of shareholders may, in writing or otherwise, waive that entitlement or may agree to reduce the period of that notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting of shareholders is a waiver of entitlement to notice of the meeting unless that person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called.

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

Voting at Meetings

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

Chair of Meetings

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

(a) the chair of the board, if any;

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

Meetings by Telephone or Other Communications Medium

(a) in person; or

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

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

Calling of Meetings

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

Notice of Meetings

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

When Notice Not Required

Meeting Valid Despite Failure to Give Notice

Waiver of Notice of Meetings

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

A consent in writing under this §17.13 may be by signed document, fax, email or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded messages. Any electronic signature on a consent, whether digital or encrypted, shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as a manual signature. A consent in writing may be in two or more counterparts which together are deemed to constitute one consent in writing. A resolution of the directors or of any committee of the directors passed in accordance with this §17.13 is effective on the date stated in the consent in writing or on the latest date stated on any counterpart and is deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of directors or of the committee of the directors and to be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors or of the committee of the directors that satisfies all the requirements of the Act and all the requirements of these Articles relating to meetings of the directors or of a committee of the directors.

EXCHANGE RIGHTS

Exchange at the Option of the Class A Shareholder

Notice of Exchange

25.12 A Class A Shareholder must deliver a Notice of Exchange either electronically (by electronic mail or by any other electronic procedure that may be established by the Transfer Agent and communicated to the Class A Shareholders by the Company or the Transfer Agent) or physically (by mail, courier, hand delivery or otherwise) to any office of the Transfer Agent prior to the issuance by the Company of a Notice of Class A Redemption or the announcement of a Liquidation Event in order to exercise his, her or its Exchange Right. The Transfer Agent shall promptly notify the Company, BIP and, until such time as the Rights Agreement has been terminated, BAM, of the receipt of a Notice of Exchange.

Satisfaction of Exchange Rights

25.13 Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a Notice of Exchange and such additional documents and instruments as the Company or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, and provided that BIP has not exercised the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, the Company will redeem the applicable Tendered Class A Shares on or prior to the Specified Exchange Date. The Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Tendering Class A Shareholder, at the address of the holder recorded in the register of the Company for the Class A Shares or at the address specified in the holder's Notice of Exchange, either (i) the BIP Units Amount, or (ii) the Cash Amount, as the Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, together with a cash amount for each Tendered Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Tendered Class A Share ((i) or (ii), plus such Unpaid Dividends collectively being the "Exchange Consideration") and such delivery of such Exchange Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent will be deemed to be payment of and will satisfy and discharge all liability for the Exchange Rights so exercised. Should the Company elect to satisfy Exchange Rights by delivering the Cash Amount, then the payment of such amount shall be made in the manner set forth in §25.4.

25.14 Any Tendering Class A Shareholder shall have no further right, with respect to any Tendered Class A Shares redeemed, repurchased or exchanged, to receive any dividends on Class A Shares with a Record Date on or after the date on which the Transfer Agent receives such Notice of Exchange. Each Tendering Class A Shareholder shall continue to own each Class A Share subject to any Notice of Exchange, and be treated as a Class A Shareholder with respect to each such Class A Share for all other purposes of these Articles, until such Class A Share has been redeemed in accordance with §25.13 or repurchased or exchanged in accordance with the Rights Agreement, as applicable, for the Secondary Exchange Amount in accordance with §25.16. A Tendering Class A Shareholder shall have no rights as a unitholder of BIP with respect to any BIP Units to be received by such Tendering Class A Shareholder in exchange for Tendered Class A Shares pursuant to §25.11 until the Transfer Agent has issued such BIP Units to such Tendering Class A Shareholder.

25.15 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company will not be obligated to redeem Tendered Class A Shares to the extent that such redemption would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable Law. If the Company believes that it would not be permitted by any such requirements or other provisions to redeem the Tendered Class A Shares, and BIP has not exercised its Exchange-Redemption Call Right with respect to the Tendered Class A Shares, the Company will only be obligated to redeem the maximum number of Tendered Class A Shares (rounded down to a whole number of Class A Shares) that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions. The Company will notify any such Tendering Class A Shareholder at least one Business Day prior to the Specified Exchange Date as to the number of Tendered Class A Shares that will be redeemed by the Company. Where there is more than one Tendering Class A Shareholder, the Company will redeem the maximum number of Tendered Class A Shares that would not be contrary to such requirements or other provisions among such Tendering Class A Shareholders on a pro rata basis.

Secondary Exchange Rights

25.16 For so long as the Rights Agreement has not been terminated, if a Tendering Class A Shareholder has not received the Exchange Consideration with respect to any Tendered Class A Shares by the Close of Business on the applicable Specified Exchange Date for any reason, then, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Rights Agreement, which the Class A Shareholders shall have a right to enforce, such Tendering Class A Shareholder shall be entitled to receive from BAM the Secondary Exchange Amount with respect to each such Tendered Class A Share no later than the applicable Secondary Exchange Date (the "Secondary Exchange Right"). The Company shall send to BAM and to the Rights Agent on the applicable Specified Exchange Date a notice to the effect that the Tendering Class A Shareholder has not received the Exchange Consideration and such notice will set forth the identity of the Tendering Class A Shareholder, the number of Tendered Class A Shares, the amounts of such Exchange Consideration then not paid and will be otherwise consistent with the definition of "Company Notice" in the Rights Agreement.

No Fractional BIP Units

25.17 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fractional BIP Units shall be issued in connection with the satisfaction of Exchange Rights, in connection with a redemption of a Class A Share or in connection with a Liquidation Event. In lieu of any fractional BIP Units to which the Tendering Class A Shareholder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay a cash amount equal to the BIP Unit Value on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date multiplied by such fraction of a BIP Unit. In lieu of any fractional BIP Units to which the Tendering Class A Shareholder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Rights Agent shall pay a cash amount as determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement.

Withholding Taxes

25.18 Each Tendering Class A Shareholder shall be required to pay to the Company the amount of any tax withholding due upon the redemption of Tendered Class A Shares pursuant to §25.11 to §25.13 and will be deemed to have authorized the Company to retain such portion of the Exchange Consideration as the Company reasonably determines is necessary to satisfy its tax withholding obligations. Before making any withholding pursuant to this §25.18, the Company shall give each Tendering Class A Shareholder within three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt of a Notice of Exchange from such Tendering Class A Shareholder, notice of the Company's good faith estimate of the amount of any anticipated tax withholding (together with the legal basis therefor) due upon the redemption of the Tendered Class A Shares subject to such Notice of Exchange, provide the Tendering Class A Shareholder with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation or take such other steps in order to avoid or reduce such tax withholding, and reasonably cooperate with the Tendering Class A Shareholder in good faith to attempt to reduce any amounts that would otherwise be withheld pursuant to this §25.18; provided that any determination with respect to the tax withholding shall be made by the Company, BIP or an affiliate of BIP, as applicable, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith.

Right of Class B Shareholders to Cause Redemption of Class A Shares

25.20 The Class B Shareholders may, at any time and in their sole discretion, deliver a notice to the Company specifying a date upon which the Company shall redeem all of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares (provided that such specified date is no less than 60 days from the date on which the Class B Shareholders deliver such notice), and as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of such notice, the Company shall, subject to applicable Law, deliver a Notice of Class A Redemption to the Class A Shareholders and, without the consent of the Class A Shareholders, shall redeem all of the Class A Shares on the Specified Class A Redemption Date.

Redemption Procedure

25.21 In the event of a redemption of the Class A Shares, each Class A Shareholder shall be considered a Tendering Class A Shareholder and each Class A Share shall be considered a Tendered Class A Share for the purposes of §25.19 to §25.22, and the Company shall, at or prior to Close of Business on the Specified Class A Redemption Date, pay to each Tendering Class A Shareholder either (i) the BIP Units Amount, or (ii) the Cash Amount, as the Company may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, together with a cash amount for each Tendered Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Tendered Class A Share ((i) or (ii), plus such Unpaid Dividends collectively being the "Redemption Consideration") and such delivery of such Redemption Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent will be deemed to be payment of and will satisfy and discharge all liability for the redemption of the Class A Shares. Should the Company elect to satisfy its obligation to redeem the Class A Shares by delivering the Cash Amount, then the payment of such amount shall be made in the manner set forth in §25.4.

25.22 §25.14 to §25.18 shall apply in their entirety, mutatis mutandis, to a redemption of the Class A Shares. 

Exchange-Redemption Call Right

25.23 Notwithstanding the provisions in §25.11 to §25.22 above,

(a) in the event the Company receives a Notice of Exchange from a Tendering Class A Shareholder, BIP shall have an overriding right to acquire, or cause its affiliate to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Tendered Class A Shares from the Tendering Class A Shareholder by delivering the Exchange Consideration (the form of Exchange Consideration to be determined by BIP in its sole and absolute discretion) in accordance with §25.11 to §25.18, mutatis mutandis, in satisfaction of the obligations of the Company, and

(b) in the event the Company provides a Notice of Class A Redemption to each Class A Shareholder, BIP shall have an overriding right to acquire, or cause its affiliate to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Class A Shares from each Class A Shareholder by delivering the Redemption Consideration (the form of Redemption Consideration to be determined by BIP in its sole and absolute discretion) in accordance with §25.19 to §25.22, mutatis mutandis, in satisfaction of the obligations of the Company as set out therein (the right in either (a) or (b) being the "Exchange-Redemption Call Right"),

and in the event of the exercise by BIP of the Exchange-Redemption Call Right, each Tendering Class A Shareholder will be obligated to sell all Tendered Class A Shares held by such Tendering Class A Shareholder to BIP (or its affiliate, as applicable) on delivery by BIP (or its affiliate, as applicable) to such Tendering Class A Shareholder of the Exchange Consideration or the Redemption Consideration, as applicable, and the Company will have no obligation to pay any Exchange Consideration or Redemption Consideration to the holders of such Class A Shares so purchased by BIP (or its affiliate, as applicable).

25.24 In order to exercise its Exchange-Redemption Call Right, BIP must notify the Transfer Agent in writing, as agent for the holders of Class A Shares, and the Company, of its intention to exercise such right at least 3 days before the Specified Exchange Date or at least 10 days before the Specified Class A Redemption Date, as applicable.

Liquidation Rights

25.25 Upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding up of the Company or any other distribution of its assets among its shareholders, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation Event"), including where substantially concurrent with the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of BIP, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "BIP Liquidation Event"), each Class A Shareholder shall, subject to the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right, be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution on the effective date of the Liquidation Event (the "Liquidation Date") an amount in cash per Class A Share then held by them equal to the BIP Unit Value on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the Liquidation Event (the "Liquidation Reference Date") multiplied by the Conversion Factor (and together with a cash amount for each Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share, the "Liquidation Amount"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Liquidation Event, including where substantially concurrent with a BIP Liquidation Event, if the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion elects, it may, subject to applicable Law, redeem all of the outstanding Class A Shares in exchange for such number of BIP Units per Class A Share equal to the Conversion Factor in effect on the Liquidation Reference Date, together with a cash amount per Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share in accordance with §25.21 and §25.22, in lieu of paying the Liquidation Amount.

(b) prior payment in full to each Tendering Class A Shareholder and Tendering Class C Shareholder that submitted a Notice of Exchange or a Notice of Class C Retraction, as applicable, at least 10 days prior to the date of the Liquidation Event of the Exchange Consideration (in the case of the Tendering Class A Shareholders) and the Class C Retraction Amount (in the case of the Tendering Class C Shareholders); and

(c) prior payment in full to each Tendering Class B Shareholder that submitted a Notice of Class B Retraction at least 30 days prior to the date of the Liquidation Event of the Cash Amount.

25.27 If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company are insufficient to make payment in full to all Class A Shareholders of the foregoing amounts set forth in §25.25 with respect to the Liquidation Event, then such assets (or consideration) shall be distributed among the Class A Shareholders at the time outstanding, rateably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled to receive under §25.25.

In the event of the exercise of a Liquidation Call Right, each such Class A Shareholder will be obligated on the Liquidation Date to sell all the Class A Shares held by such holder to BIP on the Liquidation Date upon issuance by BIP to the holder of the Liquidation Call Consideration for each such Class A Share and the Company will have no obligation to pay any Liquidation Amount to the holders of such Class A Shares so purchased by BIP.

25.29 In order to exercise the Liquidation Call Right, BIP must notify the Transfer Agent in writing, as agent for the Class A Shareholders and the Company, of its intention to exercise such right at least 30 days before the Liquidation Date in the case of a voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and at least five Business Days before the Liquidation Date in the case of an involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. If BIP exercises the Liquidation Call Right in accordance with this §25.29, all obligations of the Company under §25.25 to §25.27 will terminate and on the Liquidation Date BIP will purchase and Class A Shareholders will sell all of their Class A Shares then outstanding for a price per unit equal to the Liquidation Call Consideration.

Automatic Redemption Rights

25.30 Subject to the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right, in connection with a BIP Liquidation Event, including where substantially concurrent with a Liquidation Event, the Company shall, subject to applicable Law, redeem all outstanding Class A Shares on the day prior to the effective date of the BIP Liquidation Event for, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) an amount in cash per share equal to the BIP Unit Value on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the BIP Liquidation Event multiplied by the Conversion Factor (together with a cash amount for each Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share), or (ii) such number of BIP Units equal to the Conversion Factor in effect on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the BIP Liquidation Event (together with a cash amount for each Class A Share equal to any Unpaid Dividends per Class A Share).

The right of conversion herein provided for may be exercised by notice in writing given to the Transfer Agent (a "Conversion Notice"), which notice shall specify the number of Class A Shares that the BIP-Affiliated Class A Shareholder desires to have converted. Upon receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall, subject to applicable Law, promptly issue to the converting BIP-Affiliated Class A Shareholder the requisite number of Class C Shares and the Transfer Agent shall cancel the converted Class A Shares subject to the Conversion Notice effective concurrently therewith.
