4.2

Allocations – Overview

The rules set forth below in this Article 4 shall apply for the purpose of determining each Partner’s allocable share of the items of income, gain, loss and expense of the Partnership comprising Net Income or Net Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other period, determining special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss and expense, and adjusting the balance of each Partner’s Capital Account to reflect the aforementioned general and special allocations. For each fiscal year, the special allocations in Section 4.4 shall be made immediately prior to the general allocations of Section 4.3.

4.3

General Allocations

4.3.1. Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined and allocated with respect to each fiscal year of the Partnership as of the end of each such year, at such times as the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership Asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition thereof, and more often as determined by the General Partner. The items of income, gain, loss and expense of the Partnership comprising Net Income or Net Loss for a fiscal year shall be allocated among the Persons who were Partners during such fiscal year or other period in a manner that will, as nearly as possible, cause the Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such fiscal year or other period to equal the excess (which may be negative) of:

4.3.1.1 the amount of the hypothetical distribution (if any) that such Partner would receive if, on the last day of the fiscal year, (x) all Assets, including cash and any amount required to be contributed to the Partnership by the General Partner, were sold for cash in an amount equal to their Gross Asset Values, taking

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

into account any adjustments thereto for such fiscal year, (y) all Partnership liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their terms (limited, with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability or any Partner Nonrecourse Debt in respect of such Partner, to the Gross Asset Values of the assets securing such liability), and (z) the net proceeds thereof (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 16.3.3 over

4.3.1.2 the sum of (x) the amount, if any, without duplication, that such Partner would be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, (y) such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g) and (z) such Partner’s share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), all computed as of the hypothetical sale described in Section 4.3.1.1 above.

4.3.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 4, the amount of items of Partnership expense and loss allocated pursuant to Section 4.3.1 to any Limited Partner shall not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated without causing such Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year. All such items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 4.3.2 shall be allocated first, to Partners who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata, in proportion to their Capital Account balances, adjusted as provided in Sections 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2, until no Partner would be entitled to any further allocation, and thereafter to the General Partner.

4.4

Special Allocations

The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

4.4.1. In the event that there is a net decrease during a fiscal year in either Partnership Minimum Gain or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, each Partner shall receive such special allocations of items of Partnership income and gain as are required in order to conform to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2.

4.4.2. Subject to Section 4.4.1, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner that complies with the “qualified income offset” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).

4.4.3. In the event that a Partner has a deficit Capital Account balance at the end of any fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is then obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is then deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), respectively, such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income and gain of the Partnership for such fiscal year in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that any allocation under this Section 4.4.3 shall be made only if and to the extent that a Partner would have a deficit Capital Account balance in excess of such sum after all allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.4.3 were not in this Agreement.

4.4.4. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be specially allocated to the Partners in the manner in which they share the economic risk of loss (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-2) for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt.

4.4.5. Each Nonrecourse Deduction of the Partnership shall be specially allocated to the Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

4.4.6. The amounts of any Partnership income, gain, loss or expense available to be specially allocated pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be determined by applying rules analogous to those set forth in Section 1.1.82 as modified by Sections 1.1.82.1 through 1.1.82.5.

4.5

Allocation of Nonrecourse Liabilities

For purposes of determining each Partner’s share of Nonrecourse Liabilities, if any, of the Partnership in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners’ interest in Partnership profits shall be determined in the same manner as prescribed by Section 4.4.5.

4.6

Transfer of Interest

In the event of a transfer of all or part of any Partnership Interest (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) at any time other than the end of a fiscal year, or the admission of an additional Limited Partner in connection with the issuance of additional Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 3.4, the shares of items of Net Income or Net Loss and specially allocated items allocable to the interest transferred shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee 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.

4.7

Allocations for U.S. Tax Purposes

4.7.1. Each item of income, gain, loss, or deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes that corresponds to an item of income, gain, loss or expense that is either taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss or is specially allocated pursuant to Section 4.4 (a “Book Item”) shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion as the corresponding Book Item is allocated among them pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 hereof.

4.7.2. In the event any property of the Partnership is credited to the Capital Account of a Partner at a value other than its tax basis (whether as a result of a contribution of such property or a revaluation of such property pursuant to Section 1.1.54.2, then allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deductions with respect to such property shall be made in a

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

manner which will comply with Section 704(b) and Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Partnership, in the discretion of the General Partner, may make, or not make, “curative” or “remedial” allocations (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(c) of the Code) including, but not limited to:

4.7.2.1 “curative” allocations which offset the effect of the “ceiling rule” for a prior fiscal year (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(ii)); and

4.7.2.2 “curative” allocations from dispositions of contributed property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B)).

4.7.3. All tax credits shall be allocated among the Partners as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, consistent with applicable Law.

4.8

Allocations for Canadian Federal Income Tax Purposes.

4.8.1. The Income for Canadian Tax Purposes for a given fiscal year of the Partnership will be allocated to each Partner in an amount calculated by multiplying the Income for Canadian Tax Purposes by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the distributions received by such Partner with respect to such fiscal year and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the distributions made by the Partnership to Partners with respect to such fiscal year. Generally, the source and character of items of income so allocated to a Partner with respect to a fiscal year of the Partnership will be the same source and character as the distributions received by such Partner with respect to such fiscal year.

4.8.2. If, with respect to a given fiscal year, no distribution is made by the Partnership or the Partnership has a loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes, one quarter of the income, or loss, as the case may be, for Canadian federal income tax purposes of the Partnership for such fiscal year, will be allocated to the Partners of record at the end of each Quarter ending in such fiscal year pro rata to their respective Percentage Interests at each such date. To such end, any Person who was a Partner at any time during such fiscal year but who has disposed of all of such Person’s Units before the last day of that fiscal year may be deemed to be a Partner on the last day of such fiscal year for the purposes of subsection 96(1) of the Income Tax Act. Generally, the source and character of such income or losses so allocated to a Partner at the end of each Quarter will be the same source and character as the income or loss earned or incurred by the Partnership in such Quarter.

4.8.3. Notwithstanding Sections 4.8.1 and 4.8.2, in respect of the gain(s) for Canadian Tax Purposes realized by the Partnership on the disposition of the common shares of CanHoldco (the “CanHoldco Shares”) or any property substituted therefor for any given fiscal year of the Partnership, the lesser of: (i) the amount of the gain (if any) and (ii) the Initial Aggregate Gain less any amounts previously allocated pursuant to this Section 4.8.3 (taking into account such changes in the CanHoldco Shares or any property substituted therefor if any so as to trace the accrued gains to the original CanHoldco Shares), shall be allocated as follows:

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

4.8.3.1 such portion thereof that (A) (i) the Brookfield Group Allocable Gain is to (ii) the Initial Aggregate Gain, multiplied by (B) the portion that (i) the holdings of Partnership Units by the Brookfield Group at such time is to (ii) the holdings of Partnership Units by the Brookfield Group at the date of Fund Conversion, shall be allocated to Brookfield Group pro rata in proportion to their respective Partnership Interests at the time of the disposition of the CanHoldco Shares or any property substituted therefor; and

4.8.3.2 the remainder of such gain shall be allocated to the Limited Partners (other than the Brookfield Group) in an amount equal to the aggregate Partnership Interests held by such Limited Partners at the time of the disposition of the CanHoldco Shares or any property substituted therefor .

Any gain (or loss) not allocated by Section 4.8.3 shall be allocated in accordance with Sections 4.8.1 and 4.8.2.

4.9

Currency Translation

Allocations of amounts other than in U.S. Dollars shall be undertaken following translation into the amount of U.S. Dollars into which such amount could have been converted on the last date of the relevant Quarter (or such other relevant period of determination) using the exchange rate between such other currency and the U.S. Dollars published in the “Exchange Rates” table of the Wall Street Journal on such date, or similar publication if The Wall Street Journal is no longer published or, in the event that the “Exchange Rates” table of the Wall Street Journal, or similar publication was not published on such date, the closest date immediately preceding the date of such payment on which the “Exchange Rates” table of the Wall Street Journal, or similar publication, was published provided that all such translations shall be in accordance with the applicable rules set forth in the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations.

4.10

Authority of General Partner

Except as otherwise specifically provided by this Agreement, all decisions and other matters concerning (i) the computation and allocation of specific items of income, gain, expense or loss among the Partners and (ii) accounting procedures to be employed by the Partnership shall be determined in good faith by the General Partner, which determination shall be final and conclusive as to all Partners. In furtherance of the foregoing, the General Partner may adjust allocations of items that would otherwise be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary to (A) comply with the requirements of the Code and Treasury Regulations (including the requirements of Section 704(b) and Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), (B) comply with the requirements of the Income Tax Act, or (C) reflect the Partners’ interests in the Partnership. The General Partner may make or revoke, but shall not be obligated to make or revoke, any tax election provided for under the Code, or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. tax Law or under the Income Tax Act.

ARTICLE 5

DISTRIBUTIONS

5.1

In General

Subject to this Article 5 and Section 16.3.3, the General Partner may in its sole discretion make distributions at any time or from time to time to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise. The amount of Taxes withheld or paid by the Partnership or another member of the BREP Group in respect of taxable income allocated to a Partner shall be treated as a distribution to such Partner.

5.2

Distributions Prior to Dissolution

5.2.1. Prior to the dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 16.1, distributions of Available Cash shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.2. Any distribution to the General Partner pursuant to Sections 5.2.2.3 to 5.2.2.4 shall be made to the General Partner in its capacity as the general partner and without regard to the number of General Partner Units held by the General Partner.

5.2.2. Subject to Section 5.2.3, any distributions of Available Cash made by the Partnership with respect to any Quarter shall be distributed:

5.2.2.1 first, 100% to BREP until there has been distributed pursuant to this Section 5.2.2.1 an amount equal to the amount of BREP’s outlays and expenses for the Quarter properly incurred;

5.2.2.2 second, 100% to all Partners pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests until there has been distributed pursuant to this Section 5.2.2.2 in respect of each Unit Outstanding as of the last day of such Quarter an amount equal to the First Distribution Threshold;

5.2.2.3 third, (i) 85% to all the Partners pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests and, (ii) 15% to the General Partner until there has been distributed pursuant to this Section 5.2.2.3 in respect of each Unit Outstanding as of the last day of such Quarter an amount equal to the excess of (x) the Second Distribution Threshold over (y) the First Distribution Threshold; and

5.2.2.4 thereafter, (i) 75% to all Partners pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests and, (ii) 25% to the General Partner.

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

5.2.3. Available Cash that is deemed by the General Partner to be cash from Interim Capital Transactions and representative of unrecovered capital (“Capital Surplus”) shall be distributed:

5.2.3.1 first, to Partners pro rata in proportion to the Unrecovered Capital Amounts attributable to the Units and General Partner Units held by the Partners until the Unrecovered Capital Amount attributable to each Unit and General Partner Unit is equal to zero; and

5.2.3.2 thereafter, in accordance with Section 5.2.2.

5.3

Distributions on or After Dissolution

Upon a dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to Section 16.1, distributions shall be made in the manner prescribed in Section 16.3.3 hereof.

5.4

Adjustment to Incentive Distributions Payable to General Partner

5.4.1. The General Partner shall maintain a notional account (as adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.4, the “Incentive Distribution Account”) that will track the amount of Incentive Distributions that have been paid or are payable in respect of any period following the Closing Date by any Operating Entity to any member of the Brookfield Group with respect to the Partnership’s Invested Capital in such Operating Entity (“Underlying Incentive Distributions”).

5.4.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, any amounts otherwise payable to the General Partner pursuant to clause (ii) of either Section 5.2.2.3 or Section 5.2.2.4 shall, subject to Section 5.4.3, be reduced by (but will not be less than zero) any amount in the Incentive Distribution Account at the time of the distribution (any such amount, once applied to reduce amounts otherwise payable, is referred to as an “Applied Incentive Amount”).

5.4.3. The amount of any reduction pursuant to Section 5.4.2 in the amounts otherwise payable to the General Partner shall be adjusted on an equitable basis as necessary in order to take into account the benefit that Limited Partners would have received had the Underlying Incentive Distributions not been paid or payable.

5.4.4. The Incentive Distribution Account shall be adjusted from time to time to deduct the amount of any Applied Incentive Amount or any clawback or similar amount paid or contributed to an Operating Entity in respect of an Underlying Incentive Distribution. For greater certainty, it is acknowledged that the Incentive Distribution Account may be negative as a result of the adjustment for such clawback or similar amount. In no event will a negative balance in the Incentive Distribution Account require a payment to the General Partner.

5.4.5. Any amounts in the Incentive Distribution Account shall be taken into account in a similar manner to the foregoing in effecting distributions pursuant to Section 16.3.3.

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

5.5

5.6

Prohibition on Distributions

The General Partner shall not cause the Partnership to make any distribution pursuant to this Article 5:

5.6.1. unless there is sufficient cash available therefor;

5.6.2. which would render the Partnership unable to pay its debts as and when they fall due; or

5.6.3. which, in the opinion of the General Partner, would or might leave the Partnership with insufficient funds to meet any future or contingent obligations or which would contravene the Limited Partnership Act.

ARTICLE 6

REDEMPTION-EXCHANGE RIGHTS

6.1

Redemption-Exchange Rights

6.1.1. Subject to Section 6.1.3, the Redemption-Exchange Units entitle the Redemption-Exchange Unitholder to redeem all or any portion of its Redemption-Exchange Units in accordance with this Article 6 at any time after the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

6.1.2. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a Redemption-Exchange Unitholder may require the Partnership to redeem all or any portion of the Redemption-Exchange Units (the “Redemption Right”) for an amount of cash equal to the Redemption Amount, provided that exercise of the Redemption Right or the payment of the Redemption Amount would not otherwise cause the Partnership to be in breach or violation of any agreement material to the Partnership or the BREP Group or applicable Law.

6.1.3.

Redemption and Exchange Procedures

6.2.1. In order to exercise its Redemption Right, a Redemption-Exchange Unitholder shall deliver to the Partnership and BREP a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) of its intention to redeem the Redemption-Exchange Units that contains all relevant information

6.2.2. At any time within two Business Days from the date of BREP’s receipt of the Redemption Notice, BREP may elect to exercise the Exchange Right with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Redemption-Exchange Units to be redeemed pursuant to the Redemption Notice and shall give written notice to the Partnership and to the Redemption-Exchange Unitholder of such election (the “Exchange Notice”). The Exchange Notice shall contain all relevant information, and shall be presented together with all related certificates and documents that the Partnership and Redemption-Exchange Unitholder may reasonably require or as may be required by applicable Law to effect the Exchange Right.

6.2.3.

BREP shall take all steps necessary under the BREP Partnership Agreement to effect the issuance of the Applicable Number of BREP Units to the Redemption-Exchange Unitholder, including by issuing a certificate in the name of the Redemption-Exchange Unitholder upon request and subject to the terms of the BREP Partnership Agreement. The General Partner and the Partnership shall take all steps necessary under this Agreement to effect the transfer of the Redemption-Exchange Units specified in the Redemption Notice to BREP, including the register of such transfer in the Partnership’s register of Limited Partners and, upon request, by issuing a new certificate in the name of BREP representing the Redemption-Exchange Units transferred to BREP in accordance with this Article 6, without expense to BREP.

6.2.4. If BREP does not exercise its Exchange Right, on the Redemption-Exchange Date, for each Redemption-Exchange Unit that is presented by the Redemption-Exchange Unitholder for redemption, the Partnership will pay to the Redemption-Exchange Unitholder cash in an amount equal to the Redemption Amount. Upon the surrender of certificates representing more Redemption-Exchange Units than the number of Redemption-Exchange Units to be redeemed under the Redemption Notice, the holder thereof will be entitled, upon request, to receive from the Partnership forthwith, without expense to such holder, a new certificate representing the Redemption-Exchange Units not being redeemed at that time.

6.3

Redemption-Exchange Date

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnification shall not be required unless at all times during the period beginning 30 days before such exercise and ending at the close of the Redemption-Exchange Date on which the Partnership pays to the Redemption-Exchange Unitholder cash in an amount equal to the Redemption Amount or BREP acquires the number of Redemption-Exchange Units specified in the Redemption Notice in exchange for the Applicable Number of BREP Units, whichever is applicable, each of the General Partner of the Partnership and the general partner of BREP is a member of the Brookfield Group.

Unit Reorganization

In the event that there is any change in the number of Redemption-Exchange Units or BREP Units Outstanding from time to time as a result of a subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, capital reorganization or similar change in the Redemption-Exchange Units or the BREP Units, as the case may be, (each such event, a “Unit Reorganization”), the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to be the number of BREP Units that would be received in respect of one Redemption-Exchange Unit immediately following the Unit Reorganization as if the Redemption Right and the Exchange Right had been exercised in respect of such Redemption-Exchange Unit immediately before the Unit Reorganization.

8.2

Unit Reclassification

In the event that there is any consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger or other form of combination of BREP with or into any other entity resulting in a reclassification of the Outstanding BREP Units (“Unit Reclassification”), then the Exchange Ratio will be adjusted in a manner approved by the General Partner, acting reasonably, to ensure that:

8.2.1. the Redemption-Exchange Unitholders would receive the amount of cash equal to the Market Value (or, if no Market Value is available, the fair market value) of the securities that such Redemption-Exchange Unitholder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Unit Reclassification if, on the effective date of such Unit Reclassification, the holders had been the registered holders of the number of BREP Units that they would have received had such Redemption-Exchange Units been exchanged for the Applicable Number of BREP Units pursuant to the Exchange Right immediately before the effective date of the Unit Reclassification; and

8.2.2. the Redemption-Exchange Unitholders would receive the securities that such Redemption-Exchange Unitholders would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Unit Reclassification if, on the effective date of the Unit Reclassification, the holders had been the registered holders of the number of BREP Units that they would have received had such Redemption-Exchange Units been exchanged for the Applicable Number of BREP Units pursuant to the Exchange Right immediately before the effective date of the Unit Reclassification.

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

Person that the General Partner designates as an indemnified person (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be indemnified on an after Tax basis out of the Assets (and the General Partner shall be entitled to grant indemnities on behalf of the Partnership, and to make payments out of the Assets, to any Indemnified Party in each case in accordance with this Section 9.6) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements and other amounts (collectively, “Liabilities”) arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits and proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnified Party is or may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, in connection with the investments and activities of the Partnership or by reason of such Person being the General Partner, or an Affiliate of the General Partner, or an officer, director, agent, shareholder, partner, member or employee of the General Partner or an Affiliate of the General Partner, or a Person who serves on the board of directors or other Governing Body of any member of the BREP Group, provided that no such Indemnified Party shall be so indemnified, with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines pursuant to a final and non-appealable judgment that, in respect of such matter, the Indemnified Party acted in a grossly negligent manner or in bad faith or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct, or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnified Party’s conduct was unlawful. An Indemnified Party shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 9.6 because the Indemnified Party had an interest in the transaction with respect to which indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

9.6.2. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, amounts incurred in respect of Liabilities incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, shall from time to time be advanced by the Partnership prior to a determination that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified, upon receipt by the Partnership of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified as provided by the proviso of Section 9.6.1.

The indemnification provisions of this Section 9.6 are for the benefit of each Indemnified Party, its heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Person.

9.6.4. No amendment, modification or repeal of this provision or any other provision of this Agreement shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnified Party to be indemnified by the Partnership or the obligations of the Partnership to indemnify any such Indemnified Party under and in accordance with the

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Partnership, any Partner or any other Person who has acquired an interest in a Partnership Interest for any Liabilities sustained or incurred by such Person as a result of any act or omission of the Indemnified Party, except to the extent there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that such Liabilities resulted from the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith, fraud, wilful misconduct, or in the case of a criminal matter, actions with knowledge that the conduct was unlawful and (ii) subject to applicable Law, any matter that is approved by a majority of the members of the Independent Committee shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duties to the Partnership or to the Partners stated or implied by Law or equity, including fiduciary duties.

9.6.6. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 9.6 (or that otherwise affects Section 9.6) that limits its scope shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 9.6 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding may arise or be asserted, provided that the Indemnified Party became an Indemnified Party hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

9.6.7. The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive the dissolution of the Partnership.

9.7

All Assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which record title to such Assets is held.

Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring and/or holding Units, as between the Partnership on the one hand and such other Person on the other hand, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest. A Person may become a Record Holder without the consent or approval of any Partner.

13.4

Transfer Generally

13.4.1. The term “transfer”, when used in this Agreement with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction (i) by which the General Partner assigns its General Partner Units to another Person or (ii) by which the holder of a Unit assigns such Unit to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment (including the foreclosure of a pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or mortgage), gift, or exchange; save that the term transfer shall not be deemed to include the grant of a security interest, mortgage, charge or pledge of any kind over a Partnership Interest.

13.4.2. No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 13. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 13 shall be null and void.

13.4.3. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the parent entity of the General Partner from disposing of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the General Partner.

13.5

Registration and Transfer of Units

13.5.1. The General Partner shall cause to be kept at its registered office in Bermuda on behalf of the Partnership a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe and subject to the provisions of Section 13.5.2, the General Partner will provide for the registration and transfer of Units. The Partnership shall not recognize transfers of

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

Certificates representing Units unless such transfers are effected in the manner described in this Section 13.5. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Units evidenced by a Certificate, and subject to the provisions of Section 13.5.2, the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership shall execute, countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number of Units as was evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered.

13.5.2. Except as otherwise provided in Article 14, the Partnership shall not recognize any transfer of Units until the Certificates evidencing such Units are surrendered for registration of transfer.

13.5.3. Subject to (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.5; (ii) Section 13.3; (iii) Section 13.7; (iv) with respect to any class or series of Units, the provisions of any statement of designations or amendment to this Agreement establishing such class or series; (v) any contractual provisions binding on any Limited Partner; (vi) Section 12.7; and (vii) provisions of applicable Law including the Limited Partnership Act and the Exempted Partnerships Act, Units shall be freely transferable.

13.5.4. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion and without giving a reason, refuse to register a transfer of any Unit in Certificated form which is not fully paid or on which the Partnership has a lien.

13.6

Transfer of General Partner Units

13.6.1. The General Partner may transfer its General Partner Units to a single transferee (including upon its merger, consolidation or other combination into any other Person or the transfer by it of all or substantially all of its assets to another Person) if, but only if, (i) the transferee is an Affiliate of the general partner of BREP (or the transfer is being made concurrently with a transfer of the general partnership units of BREP to an Affiliate of the transferee), (ii) the transferee agrees to assume and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and (iii) the Partnership receives an Opinion of Counsel (delivered by counsel acceptable to the Independent Committee) that such transfer (or merger, consolidation or combination) would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner or of any limited partner of BREP or cause the Partnership or BREP to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for tax purposes (to the extent not previously treated as such).

13.6.2. In the case of a transfer pursuant to this Section 13.6, the transferee or successor (as the case may be) shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner immediately after the transfer of the General Partner Units, and the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

13.6.3. The Parties agree that no transfer under this Section 13.6 will occur without the notification to and approval of the relevant Bermuda regulatory authorities in accordance with Bermuda law.

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

13.7

Restrictions on Transfers

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 13, no transfer of any Partnership Interest shall be made if such transfer would (a) violate the then applicable securities Laws or rules and regulations of any securities commission of any jurisdiction or any other Governmental Authorities with jurisdiction over such transfer, (b) result in the taxation of the Partnership as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise subject the Partnership to entity-level taxation for tax purposes (in either case, for U.S. tax purposes, to the extent not otherwise elected by the General Partner pursuant to Section 12.6 to be treated as such) or (c) affect the Partnership’s existence or qualification as an exempted limited partnership under the Limited Partnership Act or Exempted Partnerships Act.

The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the Assets, discharge its liabilities, and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period as the Liquidator determines to be in the best interest of the Partners, subject to applicable Laws and the following:

16.3.1. the Assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such terms as the Liquidators and such Partners or Partners may agree; if any property is distributed in kind, the Partner receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 16.3.3 to have received cash equal to its fair market value; and contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners; the Liquidator may distribute the Assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners;

16.3.2. liabilities of the Partnership, including amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 16.3) and amounts to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Section 5.2, shall be discharged; with respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment; when paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be distributed as additional liquidation proceeds; and

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

16.3.3. by the end of the taxable year in which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation), all property and cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities of the Partnership pursuant to Section 16.3.2 shall be distributed to the Partners as provided in this Section 16.3.3:

16.3.3.1 an amount equal to the amount of cash or property held by the Partnership at such time, that is attributable to a realization event occurring prior to the date of an event specified in Section 16.1 and that has not been deemed by the General Partner as Capital Surplus shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.2.2 as if such distribution were a distribution occurring prior to dissolution;

16.3.3.2 an amount equal to the amount of cash or property held by the Partnership at such time, that is attributable to a realization event occurring prior to the date of an event specified in Section 16.1 and that has been deemed by the General Partner as Capital Surplus shall be distributed in accordance with Section 5.2.3 as if such distribution were a distribution occurring prior to dissolution; and

16.3.3.3 all other cash and property of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners as follows:

16.3.3.3.1 first, 100% to BREP until BREP has received pursuant to this Section 16.3.3.3.1 an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of BREP’s outlays and expenses incurred during the term of the Partnership, over (2) the aggregate amount of distributions received by BREP pursuant to Section 5.2.2.1;

16.3.3.3.2 second, to the Partners pro rata in proportion to the Unrecovered Capital Amounts attributable to the Units and General Partner Units held by the Partners until the Unrecovered Capital Amount attributable to each Unit and General Partner Unit is equal to zero;

16.3.3.3.3 third, to the Partners pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests until there has been distributed pursuant to this Section 16.3.3.3.3 in respect of each Unit Outstanding an amount equal to the excess of (1) the First Distribution Threshold for each Quarter during the period beginning on the date the Capital Amount in respect of each Unit and General Partner Unit was last adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4.3 and ending on the date of distribution pursuant to this Section 16.3.3.3.3, over (2) the aggregate amount of distributions (if any) made in respect of a Unit pursuant to Section 5.2.2.2 during such period of time;

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

16.3.3.3.4 fourth, 15% to the General Partner and 85% to the Partners, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, until there has been distributed pursuant to this Section 16.3.3.3.4 in respect of each Unit Outstanding an amount equal to the excess of (1) the Second Distribution Threshold less the First Distribution Threshold for each Quarter during the period beginning on the date the Capital Amount in respect of each Unit and General Partner Unit was last adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4.3 and ending on the date of distribution pursuant to this Section 16.3.3.3.4, over (2) the aggregate amount of distributions (if any) made in respect of a Unit pursuant to Section 5.2.2.3 during such period of time; and

16.3.3.3.5 thereafter, 25% to the General Partner and 75% to the Partners, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

16.4

Distributions in Kind

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16.3, which require the liquidation of the Assets, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any Assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including those to Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners or to specific classes of Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.3, undivided interests in such Assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Limited Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

16.5

Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership

Upon the completion of the distribution of Partnership cash and property as provided in Sections 16.3 and 16.4, the Partnership shall be terminated and the Certificate of Limited Partnership and Certificate of Exempted Limited Partnership and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than Bermuda shall be cancelled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

16.8

No Capital Account Restoration

No Partner shall have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation of the Partnership.

Waiver of Partition

Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 17.1 and 17.2, no provision of this Agreement that establishes a percentage of the voting power of the Outstanding Units required to take any action shall be amended, altered, changed, repealed or rescinded in any respect that would have the effect of reducing such voting requirement unless such amendment is approved by the written consent or the affirmative vote of the voting power of Outstanding Units whose aggregate Outstanding Units constitute voting power not less than the voting requirement sought to be reduced.

17.3.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 17.1 and 17.2, no amendment to this Agreement may (i) enlarge the obligations of any Limited Partner without its consent except if the same occurs as a result of any amendment approved pursuant to Section 17.3.3, or (ii) enlarge the obligations, restrict in any way any action by or rights of or reduce in any way the amounts distributable, reimbursable or otherwise payable by the Partnership to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates without the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion.

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

17.3.3. Except as otherwise provided, and without limitation of the General Partner’s authority to adopt amendments to this Agreement as contemplated in Section 17.1, the General Partner may amend the Partnership Agreement without the approval of holders of Outstanding Units, except that any amendment that would have a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of any class of Outstanding Units in relation to other classes of Partnership Interests must be consented to or approved by the holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Partnership Interests of the class affected.

17.3.4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except for amendments pursuant to Section 17.1, no amendments shall become effective without the approval of at least 90% of the voting power of the Outstanding Units unless the Partnership obtains an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such amendment will not cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise taxable as an entity for tax purposes (provided that for U.S. tax purposes the General Partner has not made the election contemplated by Section 12.6) and (b) such amendment will not affect the limited liability of any Limited Partner or any limited partner of BREP under applicable Law; provided, however, that no such opinion shall be required in connection with an election described in Section 12.6 made by the General Partner or in connection with a transfer following such election.

17.3.5. This Section 17.3 shall only be amended with the approval of not less than 90% of the Outstanding Units.

17.4

Meetings

17.4.1. All acts of Limited Partners to be taken hereunder shall be taken in the manner provided in this Article 17. Special meetings of the Limited Partners may be called by the General Partner or by Limited Partners holding greater than 50% or more of the voting power of the Outstanding Partnership Interests of the class or classes for which a meeting is proposed, provided that, for this purpose, the Partnership Interests Outstanding shall not include Partnership Interests owned by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates other than any member of the BREP Group. (For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Units and the Redemption-Exchange Units shall not constitute separate classes for this purpose.) Limited Partners shall call a special meeting by delivering to the General Partner one or more requests in writing stating that the signing Limited Partners wish to call a special meeting and indicating the general or specific purposes for which the special meeting is to be called. Within 60 days after receipt of such a call from Limited Partners or within such greater time as may be reasonably necessary for the Partnership to comply with any Laws, governing the holding of a meeting or the solicitation of proxies for use at such a meeting, the General Partner shall send a notice of the meeting to the Limited Partners.

17.4.2. A meeting shall be held at a time and place (outside of Canada) determined by the General Partner on a date not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days after the mailing of notice of the meeting. Limited Partners shall not vote on matters that would cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the activities and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability under the Limited Partnership Act or the Law of any other jurisdiction in which the Partnership is qualified to conduct activities and affairs.

17.5

Notice of Meeting

Notice of a meeting called pursuant to Section 17.4 shall be given to the Record Holders of the class or classes of Partnership Interests in writing by mail or other means of written communication in accordance with Section 18.2 and shall include details of any proposal or other matter required by any provision of this Agreement or Law to be submitted for the consideration and approval of the Limited Partners. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication. In addition, notices of special meetings pursuant to Section 17.4 shall be delivered, announced and/or published to the extent required for the Partnership to comply with applicable Law.

17.6

Record Date

For purposes of determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of and participation in or to vote at a meeting of the Limited Partners or to provide consents or give approvals to any action by the Partnership as provided in Section 17.11 without a meeting as provided in Section 17.10, the General Partner may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than 10 nor more than 60 days before (a) the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any applicable Law, in which case the applicable Law shall govern) or (b) in the event that consents or approvals to any action by the Partnership are sought without a meeting, the date by which Limited Partners are requested in writing by the General Partner to provide such consents or approvals.

17.7

Adjournment

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not be fixed if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than 45 days. At the adjourned meeting, the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting and/or the new Record Date, as applicable, shall be given in accordance with this Article 17.

17.8

Quorum

A majority of the Outstanding Units of the class or classes for which a meeting has been called (including Units held by the General Partner) represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Limited Partners of such class or classes unless any such action by the Limited Partners requires approval by Limited Partners holding a greater percentage of the voting power of such Units, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. At any meeting of the Limited Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent a majority of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote and be present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Limited

[A&R LP AGR_BRELP]

Partners, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Limited Partners holding Outstanding Units that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required. The Limited Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Limited Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of the voting power of Outstanding Units specified in this Agreement (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner). In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of Units holding at least a majority of the voting power of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting (including Outstanding Units deemed owned by the General Partner) represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section 17.7.

17.9

Conduct of Meeting

The General Partner shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of consents or approvals in writing, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 17.4, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The General Partner shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting, in either case including a Partner or a director or officer of the General Partner. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner. The General Partner may make such other regulations consistent with applicable Law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote, and the revocation of consents or approvals in writing.

17.10

Action Without a Meeting

If authorized by the General Partner, any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Limited Partners may be taken without a meeting if (i) written consent to such action is solicited by or on behalf of the General Partner, and (ii) an approval in writing setting forth the action to be taken is signed by Limited Partners owning not less than the minimum percentage of the Outstanding Units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Limited Partners were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of action by written consent or without a meeting shall be given to the Limited Partners who have not approved in writing. The General Partner may specify that any written ballot from Limited Partners for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Partnership within the time period, which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the General Partner. If a ballot returned to the Partnership does not vote all of the Units held by the Limited Partner, the Partnership shall be deemed to have failed to receive a ballot for the Units that were not voted.

17.11

Voting and Other Rights

17.11.1. Only those Record Holders of Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 17.6 (and also subject to the limitations contained in the definition of “Outstanding”) shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Partners or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Outstanding Units have the right to vote or to act. All references in this Agreement to votes, consents or approvals of, or other acts that may be taken by, the Outstanding Units shall be deemed to be references to the votes, consents, approvals or acts of the Record Holders of such Outstanding Units.

17.11.2. Each Outstanding Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote for the purposes of any approval at a meeting of Limited Partners or by written consent.

17.11.3. With respect to Units that are held for a Person’s account by another Person, in whose name such Units are registered, such other Person shall, in exercising the voting or consent rights in respect of such Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Units in favor of, and at the direction of, the Person who is the beneficial owner, and the Partnership shall be entitled to assume it is so acting without further inquiry. The provisions of this Section 17.11.3 (as well as all other provisions of this Agreement) are subject to the provisions of Section 13.3.
