WHEREAS, BAM intends to make a Special Dividend to holders of its Class A limited voting shares (the “BAM Shares”) and its class B limited voting shares of class A exchangeable limited voting shares (the “Class A Shares”) in the capital of the Company (the “Special Dividend”);

WHEREAS, the Class A Shares have been structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to the BAM Shares, including receiving distributions at the same time and in the same amount per share (an “Equivalent Distribution”) as the cash dividends paid on each BAM Share;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Share Terms (as defined below), each Class A Share will be exchangeable (the “Exchange Feature”) at the option of the holder for one BAM Share (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of BAM);

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make covenants and agreements with each with a view to ensuring that the Principle of Economic Equivalence (defined below) is upheld; and
