The applicants hereby amend this Application for Qualification on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effectiveness until: (i) the 20th day after the filing of an amendment which specifically states that it shall supersede this Application for Qualification, or (ii) such date as the Securities and Exchange Commission, acting pursuant to Section 307(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, may determine upon the written request of the applicants.
1. General Information.
Trust Indenture Act of 1939
Each of the Issuer, BREP, BRELP, CanHoldco and Bermuda Holdco hereby acknowledges that, under Section 306(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), it shall be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, to make use of any means or instruments of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or of the mails to offer to sell through the use or medium of any prospectus or otherwise any security which is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to which this subsection is applicable notwithstanding the provisions of Section 304 of the Trust Indenture Act, unless such security has been or is to be issued under an indenture and an application for qualification has been filed as to such indenture, or while the application is the subject of a refusal order or stop order or (prior to qualification) any public proceeding or examination under Section 307(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. The failure to file an application on a timely basis could result in an enforcement or other action by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Each of the Issuer, BREP, BRELP, CanHoldco and Bermuda Holdco (i) represents that (x) the Issuer has not assumed the obligations of Brookfield Power under the Notes (as defined below), (y) Brookfield Power has not been released from the obligations relating to the Notes, and (z) none of the Note Guarantees (as defined below) have been issued, and (ii) covenants that (x) the Issuer will not assume the obligations of Brookfield Power under the Notes, (y) Brookfield Power will not be released from the obligations relating to the Notes, and (z) none of the Note Guarantees will be issued, in each case, prior to this Application for Qualification (this "Application") being declared effective.
2. Securities Act Exemption Applicable.
The Issuer, BREP, BRELP, CanHoldco and Bermuda Holdco are offering securities pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.
The following is a summary of the key elements of the proposed transaction (the "Transaction"):
2
CanHoldco (the "CanHoldco Note Guarantee") and Bermuda Holdco (the "Bermuda Holdco Note Guarantee" and, collectively with the BREP Note Guarantee, the BRELP Note Guarantee and the Bermuda Holdco Guarantee, the "Note Guarantees"); and (iv) the current guarantee of the BRP Equity Preferred Shares will be exchanged for guarantees of BREP, BRELP, CanHoldco and Bermuda Holdco.
Brookfield Power intends to hold a meeting of the holders of the Notes on or about October 25, 2011 to approve the Transaction. The Fund and BRP Equity intend to hold meetings of Fund unitholders and holders of the BRP Equity Preferred Shares on or about November 18, 2011 and November 10, 2011, respectively, to approve the Transaction.
Registration of the distribution of the Notes and the Note Guarantees under the Securities Act is not required by reason of the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. The complete terms of the Arrangement are contained in Brookfield Power's Information Circular, dated September 28, 2011 (the "Circular") incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit T3E. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Circular.
The Notes will be issued under the indenture (the "Indenture") to be qualified by this Application. For more detailed information on the Indenture, see Item 8 of this Application.
Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act provides an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act for, in relevant part:
"... any security which is issued in exchange for one or more bona fide outstanding securities, claims or property interests... where the terms and conditions of such issuance are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange shall have the right to appear, by any court..."
The three main elements of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act are (a) an exchange of outstanding securities, claims or property interests, (b) a fairness hearing and (c) court approval of the issuance and exchange of securities. As described below and in the Circular, each of these elements will be satisfied in connection with the issuance of the Notes.
(a) Exchange of Securities.
In the course of the Arrangement, the obligations of Brookfield Power under the Indenture will be exchanged for the obligations of the Issuer and the Note Guarantees.
(b) Fairness Hearing.
On October 5, 2011, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the "Court") entered an Interim Order, which, among other things, confirmed that delivery of the Circular to the holders of the Notes (the "Noteholders") and posting of the Interim Order as described in the Circular, constituted good and sufficient service of the notice of application for the Final Order and the Interim Order upon the Noteholders.
If the Arrangement is approved by the Noteholders and if all other conditions to completion of the Arrangement are satisfied (or waived), the parties to the Arrangement will apply to the Court for a Final Order approving the Arrangement. All Noteholders have been notified of the hearing for the Final Order through the Circular, and will have the right to appear at such hearing and to present evidence or testimony with respect to the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement.
(c) Court Approval.
The Assumption and certain other aspects of the Arrangement are subject to the approval of the Court. It is anticipated that the Court will rule on the fairness of such exchange and the fairness of such other aspects of the Arrangement. The Court will be advised that its ruling will be the basis for claiming an exemption from registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption afforded by Section 3(a)(10) thereof.

8. Analysis of Indenture Provisions.
Insert at this point the analysis of indenture provisions required under Section 305(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
The Notes will be issued under the Indenture. The following is a general description of certain provisions of the Indenture, and the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Indenture relating to the Notes filed as Exhibit T3C hereto. All capitalized and otherwise undefined terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
(a) Event of Default
Each of the following constitutes an event of default under the Indenture:
11
petition seeking reorganization, arrangement or adjustment of or in respect of the Issuer or any Guarantor is approved under applicable law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or relief of debtors, unless such proceedings, decrees, orders or approvals are actively and diligently contested by the Issuer or such Guarantor in good faith and are dismissed or stayed within 60 days of commencement;
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustees, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustees will be under no obligation to exercise any of their rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have provided the Canadian Trustee with sufficient funds for the purpose of exercising such rights or powers or in the case of a U.S. Trustee, reasonable indemnity. Subject to such provisions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustees or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustees.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, either Trustee shall, within 30 days after it has received notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default, give notice of such Event of Default to the Noteholders; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or Premium, if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustees shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or responsible officers of each Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Holders and the Trustees so advise the Issuer in writing.
(b) Authentication and Delivery of the Notes and Application of Proceeds.
All Notes shall be signed (either manually or by facsimile signature) by any two of the chairman of the Issuer's board of directors, the president and chief executive officer of the Issuer, the chief financial officer of the Issuer and the secretary of the Issuer. A facsimile signature on any Note shall for all purposes of the Indenture be deemed to be the signature of the individual whose signature it purports to be and to have been signed at the time such facsimile signature was reproduced, and each Note so signed shall be valid and binding upon the Issuer notwithstanding that any individual whose signature (either manual or facsimile) appears on a Note is not at the date of this Indenture or at the date of the Note or at the date of the authentication and delivery thereof an officer of the Issuer.
No Note shall be issued or, if issued, shall be obligatory or entitle the Holder thereof to the benefit thereof until it has been authenticated by or on behalf of one of the Trustees substantially in the form set out in Schedule "A" of the Indenture or in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture or in some other form acceptable to the Trustees. Such execution of the certificate of authentication on any Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly issued under the Indenture and is a valid obligation of the Issuer. The execution of the certificate of authentication by the Trustee shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the authenticating Trustee that such Trustee has examined the form of Note so authenticated and delivered and has found the same to be in substantially the form called for by the Indenture
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered under the Indenture but never issued and sold by the Issuer and the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation, for all purposes of the Indenture such Note will be deemed never to have been authenticated and
12
delivered under the Indenture and will never be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. The Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Except as otherwise provided in a Term Schedule or Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Series of Notes, each Series of Notes shall be issued as Book-Entry Only Debentures represented by a Global Debenture. Each Global Debenture authenticated in accordance with any Supplemental Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository designated for such Global Debenture or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depository or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Debenture shall constitute a single Debenture for all purposes of the Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures. None of the Issuer, the Trustees or any other Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or payments made by any Depository on account of the beneficial interest in any Global Debenture. Except as provided in Section 2.5 (Book-Entry Only Debentures) of the Indenture, owners of beneficial interests in any Global Debenture shall not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive Notes in definitive form and shall not be considered owners or holders thereof under the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture.
(c) Release of Property Subject to Lien
The Issuer will not create or permit to exist any lien on any present or future assets of the Issuer to secure any borrowed money, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to create or permit to exist any lien on any present or future assets of such Subsidiary to secure any borrowed money, unless at the same time the Notes are secured equally and ratably with such borrowed money, provided that this shall not apply to Permitted Encumbrances. Upon being advised by the Issuer in writing in an Officers' Certificate that security has been provided for the Notes on an equal and ratable basis in connection with the grant to a third party of security for borrowed money and subsequently that such security to the third party has been released, the Trustees will forthwith release the security granted for the Notes.
(d) Satisfaction and Discharge
The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder, when, upon notice being given to the Trustees that the principal of all the Notes and the Premium thereon and interest (including interest on amounts in default) thereon and other amounts payable under the Indenture have been paid or satisfied, or that all the outstanding Notes have matured or have been duly called for redemption, or the Trustees having been given irrevocable instructions by the Issuer to publish within 90 days of receipt of such instructions a notice of redemption of all the outstanding Notes, such payment or redemption has been duly, irrevocably and effectually provided for by payment to the Trustees or otherwise, and upon payment of all costs, charges and expenses properly incurred by the Trustees in relation to the Indenture and all interest thereon and the remuneration of the Trustees, or upon provision satisfactory to the Trustees being made therefor, the Trustees shall, at the request and at the expense of the Issuer, and upon receipt of an Opinion of Corporation Counsel and Officers' Certificate that all conditions precedent to the discharge of the Indenture have been complied with, execute and deliver to the Issuer an acknowledgement of discharge or such deeds or other instruments as shall be requested of them to evidence the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and to release the Issuer from its covenants in the Indenture contained other than those relating to the indemnification of the Trustees.
(e) Evidence of Compliance with Conditions and Covenants
Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer, and at any other time if requested by the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish the Canadian Trustee (or the U.S. Trustee in the case of a U.S. Dollar Note) with an Officers' Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers thereof of their duties as officers or directors of the Issuer they would normally have knowledge of any default by the Issuer in the performance of its covenants under the Indenture or of any Event of Default and certifying that the Issuer has complied with all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in the Indenture the non-compliance with which would, with notification or with the lapse of time or otherwise, constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or, if such is not the case, setting forth with reasonable particulars the circumstances of any failure to comply.
13
9. Other Obligors.
