to a date specified by such requesting Party, provided that such meeting, as so adjourned or postponed, shall occur not later than 15
business days after the date on which such meeting was originally scheduled to occur and in any event shall occur not later than the date
that is three business days prior to the Outside Date. |
| (c) | Notwithstanding the receipt by IPL of a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 7.1, unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by Pembina or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or except as required by applicable
Law or by a Governmental Entity, IPL shall continue to take all steps reasonably necessary to hold the IPL Shareholders' Meeting and to
cause the Arrangement Resolution to be voted on at the IPL Shareholders' Meeting and shall not propose to adjourn or postpone the IPL
Shareholders' Meeting other than as contemplated by Section 2.7(a). |
| (d) | Each Party shall advise the other Party as reasonably requested, and on a daily basis on each of the last
seven business days prior to the date of its meeting as to the aggregate tally of the proxies and votes received in respect of such meeting
and all matters to be considered at such meeting. |
| (e) | IPL shall promptly advise Pembina of any written communication received after the date of this Agreement
from any securityholder of IPL or other Person in opposition to the Arrangement Resolution or any written notice of dissent, purported
dissent exercise or withdrawal of Dissent Rights by a holder of IPL Common Shares, and written communications sent by or on behalf of
IPL to any such holder exercising or purporting to exercise Dissent Rights. Pembina shall promptly advise IPL of any written communication

In connection with all Court
proceedings relating to obtaining the Interim Order and the Final Order, IPL will diligently pursue, and cooperate with Pembina in diligently
pursuing, the Interim Order and the Final Order, and IPL will provide Pembina and its legal counsel with reasonable opportunity to review
and comment upon drafts of all material to be filed with the Court in connection with the Arrangement, including by providing on a timely
basis a description of any information required to be supplied by Pembina for inclusion in such material, prior to the service and filing
of that material, and will accept the reasonable comments of Pembina and its legal counsel with respect to any such information required
to be supplied by Pembina and included in such material and any other matters contained therein. IPL will ensure that all material filed
with the Court in connection with the Arrangement is consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan

and the application for the Final Order as such counsel considers appropriate, provided such submissions are consistent with this Agreement
and the Plan of Arrangement.
IPL will also provide legal
counsel to Pembina on a timely basis with copies of any notice and evidence served on IPL or its legal counsel in respect of the application
for the Interim Order or Final Order or any appeal therefrom and any notice, written or oral, indicating the intention of any Person to

or make any submissions to, the Court in connection with the Arrangement or serve any such material, and will not agree to modify or amend
materials so filed or served, except as contemplated hereby or with Pembina's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided that nothing herein shall require Pembina to agree or consent to any increased purchase price or other consideration
or other modification or amendment to such filed or served materials that expands or increases Pembina's obligations, or diminishes or
limits Pembina's rights, set forth in any such filed or served materials or under this Agreement. IPL shall oppose any proposal from any
Person that would result in the Interim Order or Final Order containing any provision that is inconsistent with this Agreement. Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, Pembina shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist IPL in seeking the Interim
Order and the Final Order, including by providing to IPL, on a timely basis, any information reasonably required to be supplied by Pembina
in connection therewith.
| 2.9 | IPL Incentive Awards and Employee Matters |
The Parties acknowledge that the
Arrangement will result in a "change of control" under the IPL Incentive Award Plans and IPL Employment Agreements and that:
| (a) | in accordance with the applicable plans, the vesting of all IPL RSUs and IPL PSUs granted in 2019 under
the IPL Incentive Award Plans (as disclosed in the IPL Disclosure Letter) shall accelerate and be settled in cash immediately prior to
the Effective Time based on the five day weighted average trading price of the IPL Common Shares ending on the second trading day prior
to the Effective Date (the "IPL VWAP") and, in the case of such IPL PSUs, using a "Performance Multiplier"
as agreed to by Pembina and as set forth in the IPL Disclosure Letter; |
| (b) | with respect to the IPL RSUs and IPL PSUs granted in 2020 and 2021 under the IPL Incentive Award Plans
(as disclosed in the IPL Disclosure Letter), (i) in the event of a "Change of Control Termination" under the IPL Incentive Award
Plans, the vesting of such IPL RSUs and IPL PSUs shall be accelerated and settled in cash immediately prior to the Effective Time based
on the IPL VWAP and, in the case of such IPL PSUs, using a "Performance Multiplier" as agreed to by Pembina and set forth in
the IPL Disclosure Letter, and (ii) if a Change of Control Termination has not occurred with respect to the holder of such IPL RSUs or
IPL PSUs, Pembina hereby directs and agrees with IPL and the IPL Board to take all necessary action prior to the Effective Time to accelerate
the vesting and cash settlement of such IPL RSUs and IPL PSUs in the same manner as those IPL RSUs and IPL PSUs accelerated and settled
in clause (i) of this Section 2.9(b); and |
| (c) | any payments under the IPL Employment Agreements, as disclosed in the IPL Disclosure Letter, will be made
in accordance with the terms thereof, and IPL has disclosed in the IPL Disclosure Letter its best estimate of the amounts of any payments
that would be made upon a termination of employment of IPL Employees party to the IPL Employment Agreements, |
and other than in respect
of payments to be made in respect of IPL Incentive Awards and IPL Employment Agreements set forth in this Section 2.9 and as set forth
in the IPL Disclosure Letter, there are no accelerated vesting or payout of any incentive or equity awards or any other securities of
IPL, nor are there any change of control, severance, separation, retention, bonus or similar payments triggered under any employment or
change of control agreements, retention or bonus plans or other arrangements applicable to any IPL Employees or directors or consultants
of IPL or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the completion of the Arrangement (for greater certainty, without any related termination
of employment by IPL or Pembina upon or immediately following completion of the Arrangement).
In addition to the foregoing IPL
has disclosed in the IPL Disclosure Letter the estimated amount of any change of control, severance, separation, retention, bonus or similar
payments which would be payable to all IPL Employees and directors and consultants of IPL and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the IPL Employee
Obligations, assuming the relevant conditions to the payment of such amounts pursuant to such obligations are satisfied at or prior to
the Effective Time (whether or not such conditions are actually met).
IPL shall be exclusively
responsible for any withholding obligations of Taxes pursuant to the Tax Act or other applicable Laws from any amounts paid for the IPL
Employee Obligations to be paid at or prior to the Effective Time and in connection with the exercise or settlement of any IPL Incentive
Awards (whether pursuant to this Section 2.9 or otherwise), and IPL shall deliver the consideration for the foregoing net of such amounts
to IPL Employees and holders of IPL Incentive Awards, as applicable. Any such amounts deducted, withheld and remitted by IPL will be treated
for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the IPL Employees and holders of IPL Incentive Awards, as applicable, in
respect of which such deduction, withholding and remittance was made; provided that such deducted and withheld amounts are actually remitted
to the appropriate Tax authority.
The Arrangement shall become
effective at the Effective Time. Upon issuance of the Final Order and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent
in Article 6, each of the Parties shall, as soon as practicable, execute and deliver such closing documents and instruments and IPL shall
proceed to file the Articles of Arrangement, the Final Order and such other documents as may be required to give effect to the Arrangement
with the Registrar pursuant to Section 193 of the ABCA no later than the third business day following the satisfaction or waiver
of such conditions precedent (other than the conditions precedent that by their terms are to be satisfied as of the Effective Date) or
such other date as agreed to in writing by Pembina and IPL, whereupon the transactions comprising the Arrangement shall occur and shall
be deemed to have occurred in the order set out therein without any further act or formality.
| (a) | Commencing with the dividend to be declared with a record date in August 2021, IPL shall amend its record
dates for monthly dividends on the IPL Common Shares to match the corresponding record dates set by Pembina for monthly dividends on the
Pembina Common Shares. |
| (b) | Subject to applicable Laws and general economic conditions, Pembina confirms that (i) it has no current
intention to reduce the amount of the current monthly dividend in respect of the Pembina Common Shares, (ii) upon closing of the Arrangement,
it intends to increase the monthly dividend in respect of the Pembina Common Shares to $0.22 per share, and (iii) upon the successful
commissioning and in-service date of the HPC Project (currently expected in 2022), it intends to increase its monthly dividend on the
Pembina Common Shares to $0.23 per share. |
Pembina and IPL shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable to any Person, including any IPL Shareholder and, for greater certainty,
from any amount payable to a IPL Shareholder who has validly exercised, and not withdrawn, Dissent Rights, as the case may be, under the
Plan of Arrangement such amounts as Pembina or IPL, as the case may be, is required or reasonably believes is required to deduct and withhold
from such consideration in accordance with applicable Laws. Any such amounts will be deducted, withheld and remitted from the consideration
payable pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to such Person in respect of which
such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity.
Each of Pembina or IPL is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of any share consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient
funds to Pembina or IPL, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with all deduction or withholding requirements applicable to it, and
none of Pembina or IPL shall be liable to any Person for any deficiency in respect of any proceeds received, and Pembina and IPL, as applicable,
shall notify the holder thereof and remit to the holder thereof any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.
| 2.13 | Shareholder Communications |
Each Party agrees to reasonably
co-operate with the other Party and, if requested by the other Party, participate in presentations to securityholders or other stakeholders
of the other Party, as applicable, regarding the Arrangement. Each Party shall seek prior consent of the other Party, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, prior to the making of any presentations regarding the Arrangement and shall promptly advise,
consult and co-operate with the other Party in issuing any press releases, posting any website communications or materials or otherwise
making public statements with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement (including in the case of IPL in respect of the Existing Bid,
and any extensions, changes or variations to the Existing Bid (or any other Acquisition Proposal by or involving Brookfield)) and in making
any filing with any Governmental Entity or with any stock exchange, including the Exchanges, with respect thereto. Each Party shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to enable the other Party to review and comment on all such press releases website materials, filings
and other communications and statements prior to the release or filing thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall be subject
to such Party's overriding obligation to make disclosure in accordance with applicable Laws, and if such disclosure is required and the
other Party has not reviewed or commented on the disclosure, such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prior oral or
written notice to the other Party, and if such prior notice is not possible, to give such notice immediately following the making of such
disclosure or filing. Upon the request of Pembina, IPL Shall issue a press release, post website materials or communications or otherwise
make public statements in support of the Arrangement and the completion thereof in response to any statement of any Person that is made
(or could reasonably be considered to be made) to impede or impair the successful completion of the Arrangement, in a manner and including
such content that is acceptable to both Pembina and IPL, each acting reasonably.
The Parties agree to issue
jointly a press release in a mutually acceptable form with respect to this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing in this Section 2.13 shall require a notice by a Party or its affiliates to the other Party or the other Party's prior consent
in connection with, or prevent such Party or any of its affiliates from: (a) issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements
with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement; or (b) making internal announcements or presentations to employees and having discussions
with their respective securityholders, financial analysts or other stakeholders, in each case so long as such statements and announcements
are consistent with the press releases, public disclosures or public statements previously made by the Parties.
The Parties agree that the
Arrangement will be carried out with the intention that, and will use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that, the issuance of Pembina
Common Shares to holders of IPL Common Shares under the Arrangement will qualify for the exemption from the registration requirements
of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act. Therefore, each Party agrees to act in good faith,
consistent with the intent of the Parties and the intended treatment of the Arrangement as set forth in this Section 2.14. In order to
ensure the availability of the exemption under Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act and to facilitate Pembina's compliance with
other U.S. Securities Laws, the Parties agree that the Arrangement will be carried out on the following basis: (a) the Court will be asked
to approve the procedural and substantive fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement; (b) prior to the issuance of the Interim
Order, the Court will be advised of the intention of the Parties to rely on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities
Act with respect to the issuance of Pembina Common Shares to holders of IPL Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, based on the Court's
approval of the Arrangement; and (c) the Court will be advised prior to the hearing that its approval of the Arrangement will be relied
upon as a determination that the Court has satisfied itself as to the procedural and substantive fairness of the terms and conditions
of the Arrangement to all Persons who are entitled to receive Pembina Common Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.
| 2.15 | Adjustment to Exchange Ratio |
Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding Pembina Common
Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares by reason of any split or consolidation of the issued and outstanding
Pembina Common Shares, then the Exchange Ratio to be paid per IPL Common Share shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to holders of
IPL Common Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement and the Arrangement prior to such action and as so adjusted
shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Exchange Ratio.

Approvals; |

shall require Pembina or any of its Subsidiaries to offer, agree or consent to sell, assign, license, hold separate, restrict, impair,
terminate or take any other action (individually, and collectively, a "Regulatory Action"), before or after the Effective
Date, with respect to any assets or businesses, or interests in any assets or businesses, of IPL or Pembina, or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, as applicable and as the case may be, including agreeing and consenting to (i) restrictions on, or impairment of, its ability

or (ii) the creation of, termination or amendment of relationships, contractual rights, obligations, licenses, ventures or other arrangements,
with respect to, before or after the Effective Date, any assets or businesses, or interests in any assets or businesses, of any Party

| (f) | subject to Section 5.4(d), it shall not wilfully or intentionally take any action, refrain from taking

Arrangement, or that will have, or which would reasonably be expected to have, the effect of materially delaying, impairing or impeding
the granting of the Regulatory Approvals; |
| (g) | except for non-substantive communications with securityholders or documents filed by such Party on SEDAR,

| 5.5 | Pre-Arrangement Reorganizations |
| (a) | Subject to Section 5.5(b), IPL agrees that, upon request of Pembina, IPL shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to (i) perform such reorganizations of its corporate structure, capital structure, business, operations and assets or such other
transactions as Pembina may request, acting reasonably (each a "Pre-Arrangement Reorganization"), (ii) cooperate with
Pembina and its Representatives to determine the nature of the Pre-Arrangement Reorganizations that might be undertaken and the manner
in which they would most effectively be undertaken, and (iii) cooperate with Pembina and its Representatives to seek to obtain consents
or waivers which might be required from IPL's lenders under the IPL Credit Facilities in connection with the Pre-Arrangement Reorganizations,
if any, provided that any costs, fees or expenses associated therewith shall be at Pembina's sole expense. |
| (b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, IPL will not be obligated to participate in any Pre-Arrangement Reorganization
under Section 5.5(a) unless it determines in good faith that such Pre-Arrangement Reorganization: |
| (i) | does not impair, impede, delay or prevent the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in Article 6, or
the ability of IPL or Pembina to consummate, and will not materially delay the consummation of, the Arrangement; |
| (ii) | is not prejudicial to IPL or the IPL Shareholders in any material respect; |
| (iii) | does not reduce or change the form of the consideration to be received by the IPL Shareholders; |
| (iv) | does not require IPL or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that could reasonably be expected to
result in Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other consequences to, the IPL Shareholders incrementally greater than the Taxes
or other consequences to them in connection with the completion of the Arrangement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement
in the absence of action being taken pursuant to Section 5.5(a); |
| (v) | does not become effective unless Pembina has waived or confirmed in writing the satisfaction of all conditions
in its favour under Article 6, and has confirmed in writing that it is prepared to promptly and without condition (other than compliance

| (vi) | does not require IPL to obtain the approval of any IPL Shareholders; and |
| (vii) | is effected as close as reasonably practicable prior to the Effective Time. |

business days prior to the Effective Date. Upon receipt of such notice, IPL and Pembina shall work cooperatively and use their commercially
reasonable efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do such other acts and things as are necessary
to give effect to such Pre-Arrangement Reorganization, including any amendment to this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement (provided
that such amendments do not require IPL to obtain approval of IPL Shareholders). |
| (d) | Pembina waives any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by IPL, where such breach is a result
of an action taken by IPL or a Subsidiary in good faith pursuant to a request by Pembina in accordance with this Section 5.5. |
| (a) | IPL shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have
its and their Representatives, provide such cooperation to Pembina as Pembina may reasonably request in connection with the arrangements
by Pembina to obtain new or amend any existing credit facilities or notes (including any credit facilities or notes of IPL and as outlined
in the IPL Disclosure Letter) or issue equity or debt securities publicly or privately, subject to the terms hereof (provided that (i)
such request is made on reasonable notice, (ii) such cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of IPL
and its Subsidiaries or unreasonably interfere with or hinder or delay the performance by IPL or its Subsidiaries of their obligations
hereunder, (iii) IPL shall not be required to provide, or cause any of its Subsidiaries to provide, cooperation that involves any binding
commitment by IPL or its Subsidiaries, which commitment is not conditional on the completion of the Arrangement and does not terminate
without liability to IPL or its Subsidiaries upon the termination of this Agreement; and (iv) any actions taken hereunder are in compliance
with Sections 5.2 and 5.4), including one or more of the following cooperative actions as so requested: |
| (i) | participating in meetings (including meetings with rating agencies), drafting sessions and due diligence
sessions; |
| (ii) | furnishing Pembina and its proposed lenders or underwriters with such financial and other pertinent information
regarding IPL as may be reasonably requested by Pembina; |

such consents, approvals or authorizations which may be reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with such financing, debt reorganization,
consents or amendments; |
| (iv) | using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain customary accountants' consent and comfort letters
and other documentation and items relating to such issue of securities as reasonably requested by Pembina and, if requested by Pembina,
to cooperate with and assist it in obtaining such documentation and items; |
| (v) | executing and delivering, or where applicable, obtaining, any certificates, legal opinions or documents,
as may be reasonably requested by Pembina (including a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of IPL or any of its Subsidiaries with
respect to consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to such securities issue); and |
| (vi) | taking all corporate actions, to be effective at the Effective Time, requested by Pembina that are necessary
or customary to permit the consummation of such financing or such other matters contemplated by this Section 5.6. |
| (b) | Notwithstanding Section 5.6(a), neither IPL, nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required by Pembina
to: (i) take any action or do anything that would (A) contravene any applicable Law, or (B) be capable of impairing or preventing
the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6; (ii) commit to take any action that is not contingent on the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the Effective Time; (iii) pay any commitment, consent or other fee or incur any
other liability in connection with such financing prior to the Effective Date; or (iv) except as required to comply with applicable Laws,
disclose any information that in the reasonable judgment of IPL would violate any obligations of IPL or any other Person with respect
to confidentiality. |
| 5.7 | Access to Information; Confidentiality |
From the date hereof until
the earlier of the Effective Date and the termination of this Agreement, IPL shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives
to, subject to all applicable Laws and any confidentiality obligations owed by IPL to a third party or in respect to customer-specific
or competitively sensitive information and in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreements and any other subsequent written agreement
that addresses confidentiality between the Parties, afford to Pembina and its Representatives reasonable access at all reasonable times
to their officers, employees, agents, properties, books, records and contracts, and shall furnish Pembina with all data and information
as Pembina may reasonably request, subject to any confidentiality obligations owed by IPL to a third party, in respect to customer-specific
or competitively sensitive information, the conditions contained in the Confidentiality Agreements and any other subsequent written agreement
that addresses confidentiality between the Parties, in order to permit Pembina to be in a position to expeditiously and efficiently continue
and integrate the businesses and operations of Pembina and its Subsidiaries and IPL and its Subsidiaries immediately upon, but not prior
to, the Effective Date.
| 5.8 | Insurance and Indemnification |
| (a) | Pembina acknowledges that IPL has arranged to purchase the tail directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy disclosed in the IPL Disclosure Letter. |
| (b) | From and after the Effective Date, Pembina shall, and shall cause IPL and its Subsidiaries, (or any successor(s)
thereto) to, until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Date (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, for so long thereafter as
any claim for indemnification asserted on or prior to such date has not been finally adjudicated): (i) keep and not amend, modify or repeal
any provision of the current indemnity agreements in place for the current and former directors and officers of IPL and its Subsidiaries;
(ii) continue to cause IPL (or a substitute entity with access to sufficient assets to satisfy such indemnity) to indemnify the current

indemnify such directors and officers with respect to any claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or prior to the Effective
Date (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby); and (iii) not take any action so as to amend,
modify or repeal the provisions for indemnification of directors, officers or employees contained in the organizational documents of IPL
and its Subsidiaries in such a manner as would adversely affect the rights of any individual who shall have served as a director or officer
of any of IPL and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Date to be indemnified by such entities in respect of their serving in such
capacities at or prior to the Effective Time. For greater certainty, Pembina's insurance and indemnification obligations hereunder shall
extend to all Subsidiaries of IPL. |
| (c) | The provisions of this Section 5.8 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each individual referred to in this Section 5.8,
his or her heirs and successors and his or her legal representatives (collectively, the "Directors and Officers") and,
for such purpose, IPL hereby confirms that it is acting as agent and trustee on behalf of the Directors and Officers. Pembina agrees to
pay from time to time as necessary all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by the Directors
and Officers in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 5.8. The rights of the Directors and Officers
under this Section 5.8 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Directors and Officers may have. |
| (d) | If, after the date hereof, any of Pembina or IPL or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their
respective successors or assigns shall: (i) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge or wind up into any other Person and shall not be the
continuing or surviving entity; or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its prospective assets to any Person; then, and in each such
case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of such entity, as applicable, shall assume all of the obligations
set forth in this Section 5.8. |
| (a) | For the purposes of this Section 5.9, the following definitions shall apply: |
| (i) | "applicable law" means, in relation to any Person, transaction or event, all applicable
provisions of Laws by which such Person is bound or having application to the transaction or event in question, including applicable privacy
laws; |

collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information in all applicable jurisdictions, including the Personal Information Protection
and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) and/or any comparable provincial law including the Personal Information Protection Act
(Alberta); |
| (iii) | "authorized authority" means, in relation to any Person, transaction or event, any (A) federal,
provincial, municipal or local governmental body (whether administrative, legislative, executive or otherwise), both domestic and foreign,

judicial, taxing, regulatory or administrative powers or functions of or pertaining to government, (C) court, arbitrator, commission
or body exercising judicial, quasi-judicial, administrative or similar functions, and (D) other body or entity created under the
authority of or otherwise subject to the jurisdiction of any of the foregoing, including any stock or other securities exchange, in each
case having jurisdiction over such Person, transaction or event; and |
| (iv) | "Personal Information" means information (other than business contact information when
used or disclosed for the purpose of contacting such individual in that individual's capacity as an employee or an official of an organization
and for no other purpose) about an identifiable individual disclosed in accordance with this Agreement and/or as a condition of the Arrangement. |
| (b) | The Parties hereto acknowledge that they are responsible for compliance at all times with applicable privacy
laws as such pertain to the collection, use or disclosure of Personal Information disclosed to either Party pursuant to or in connection
with this Agreement (the "Disclosed Personal Information"). |
| (c) | Prior to the completion of the Arrangement, neither Party shall use or disclose the Disclosed Personal
Information for any purposes other than those related to the performance of this Agreement and the completion of the Arrangement. After
the completion of the transactions contemplated herein, a Party may only collect, use and disclose the Disclosed Personal Information
for the purposes for which the Disclosed Personal Information was initially collected from or in respect of the individual to which such
Disclosed Personal Information relates or for the completion of the transactions contemplated herein, unless (i) either Party shall
have first notified such individual of such additional purpose, and where required by applicable law, obtained the consent of such individual
to such additional purpose, or (ii) such use or disclosure is permitted or authorized by applicable law, without notice to, or consent
from, such individual. |
| (d) | Each Party acknowledges and confirms that the disclosure of the Disclosed Personal Information is necessary
for the purposes of determining if the Parties shall proceed with the Arrangement, and that the Disclosed Personal Information relates
solely to the carrying on of the business or the completion of the Arrangement. |
| (e) | Each Party acknowledges and confirms that it has taken and shall continue to take reasonable steps to,
in accordance with applicable law, prevent accidental loss or corruption of the Disclosed Personal Information, unauthorized access to
the Disclosed Personal Information, or unauthorized or unlawful collection, storage, disclosure, recording, copying, alteration, removal,
deletion, use or other processing of such Disclosed Personal Information. |
| (f) | Subject to the following provisions, each Party shall at all times keep strictly confidential all Disclosed
Personal Information made available or otherwise provided to it, and shall instruct those Representatives responsible for processing such
Disclosed Personal Information to protect the confidentiality of such information in a manner consistent with the Parties' obligations
hereunder. Prior to the completion of the Arrangement, each Party shall take reasonable steps to ensure that access to the Disclosed Personal
Information shall be restricted to those Representatives of the respective Party who have a bona fide need to access such information
in order to complete the Arrangement. |
| (g) | Where authorized by applicable law, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of all inquiries,
complaints, requests for access, variations or withdrawals of consent and claims of which the Party is made aware in connection with the
Disclosed Personal Information. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties shall fully co-operate with one another, with the
Persons to whom the Personal Information relates, and any authorized authority charged with enforcement of applicable privacy laws, in
responding to such inquiries, complaints, requests for access, variations or withdrawals of consent and claims. |

acquired by it in connection with this Agreement and will return to the requesting Party or, at the requesting Party's request, destroy
in a secured manner, in accordance with applicable law, the Disclosed Personal Information (and any copies thereof) in its possession. |

or permitted by this Agreement), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct: (A) individually

for this purpose, any reference to "material", "Material Adverse Effect" or other concepts of materiality in such
representations and warranties shall be ignored; or (B) would not, individually or in the aggregate prevent or materially delay, or individually
or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay, the consummation of the Arrangement or IPL from performing
its material obligations under this Agreement in any material respect; |
and IPL shall have provided to Pembina
a certificate of two executive officers of IPL (on IPL's behalf and without personal liability) certifying the foregoing on the Effective

Date; or (ii) if neither Brookfield nor its affiliates nor any Person or group of Persons acting jointly or in concert with Brookfield
has validly exercised Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement, holders of not greater than 5% of the outstanding IPL Common Shares
shall have validly exercised Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement that have not been withdrawn as of the Effective Date. |
The conditions set forth
in this Section 6.2 are for the exclusive benefit of Pembina and may be asserted by Pembina regardless of the circumstances or may
be waived in writing by Pembina in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without prejudice to any
other rights which Pembina may have.
The obligation of IPL to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and in particular the Arrangement, is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Effective
Date or such other time specified, of the following conditions:
| (a) | the representations and warranties made by Pembina: |
| (i) | in paragraph (l) of Schedule C shall be true and correct (other than de minimis inaccuracies) as
of the date of this Agreement; and |
| (ii) | in the remainder of Schedule C shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date as if made on such

or permitted by this Agreement), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct: (A) individually
or in the aggregate, would not result or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change in respect of Pembina
(and for this purpose, any reference to "material", "Material Adverse Effect" or other concepts of materiality in
such representations and warranties shall be ignored); or (B) would not, individually or in the aggregate prevent or materially delay,
or individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay, the consummation of the Arrangement or
Pembina from performing its material obligations under this Agreement in any material respect; |
and Pembina shall have
provided to IPL a certificate of two executive officers of Pembina (on Pembina's behalf and without personal liability) certifying the
foregoing on the Effective Date;
| (b) | Pembina shall have complied in all material respects with its covenants herein to be complied with by
it on or prior to the Effective Time, and Pembina shall have provided to IPL a certificate of two executive officers of Pembina (on behalf
of Pembina and without personal liability) certifying compliance with such covenants on the Effective Date; and |
| (c) | no Material Adverse Change in respect of Pembina shall have occurred after the date hereof and prior to
the Effective Date. |
The conditions set forth
in this Section 6.3 are for the exclusive benefit of IPL and may be asserted by IPL regardless of the circumstances or may be waived
by IPL, in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without prejudice to any other rights which IPL
may have.
| 6.4 | Notice and Cure Provisions |
Each Party will give prompt
notice to the other Party of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the Effective Date, of any event,
state of facts, circumstance or change in circumstances (actual, anticipated, contemplated, or to the knowledge of such Party, threatened)
which would, or would reasonably be expected to:
| (a) | cause any of the representations or warranties of such Party contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate
in any material respect (or, in the case of any representations or warranties that are not subject to materiality qualifications in respect
of the conditions contained in Section 6.2(a)(i) or Section 6.3(a)(i), as applicable, cause any of such representations or warranties
of such Party to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect); or |
| (b) | result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with
or satisfied by such Party, |
and it shall in good faith discuss with the
other Party any event, state of facts, circumstance or change in circumstances (actual, anticipated, contemplated, or to the knowledge
of such Party, threatened) which is of such a nature that there may be a reasonable question as to whether notice need to be given to
the other Party pursuant to this Section 6.4. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall not limit or otherwise
affect the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Parties under this Agreement or any remedies available
pursuant to this Agreement with respect thereto to the Party receiving that notice.
Neither Party may elect
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iv) [Failure to Satisfy Mutual Conditions], Section 8.1(c)(i)
[IPL Reps and Warranties and Covenants Condition] or Section 8.1(d)(i) [Pembina Reps and Warranties and Covenants Condition],
as applicable, unless promptly, and in any event prior to the issuance of the Certificate by the Registrar, the Party intending to terminate
this Agreement (the "Terminating Party") has delivered a written notice (a "Termination Notice") to
the other Party (the "Receiving Party") specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, inaccuracies of representations
and warranties, inability to satisfy conditions or other matters which the Terminating Party is asserting as the basis for termination.
If any Termination Notice is delivered: (a) if such matter is capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date, provided that the Receiving
Party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter to the satisfaction of the Terminating Party, acting reasonably, the Terminating Party
may not exercise such termination until the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of 15 business days from the date of receipt of
the Termination Notice by the Receiving Party, and (ii) the Outside Date, if such matter has not been cured by such date; and (b) if such
matter is incapable of being cured prior to the Outside Date (and any fraudulent, wilful or intentional breach shall be deemed to be incapable
or being cured), or if the Receiving Party is not proceeding diligently to cure such matter to the satisfaction of the Terminating Party,
acting reasonably, no cure period shall be provided in respect of such matter and the Terminating Party may exercise such termination.
If a Termination Notice has been delivered to IPL or Pembina within 15 business days prior to the date of the IPL Shareholders' Meeting
or the Pembina Shareholders' Meeting, respectively, then IPL or Pembina, as the Receiving Party, as the case may be, may elect to postpone
the meeting of its shareholders until the expiry of such period.
| 6.5 | Frustration of Conditions |
Neither Pembina nor IPL
may rely, either as a basis for not consummating the conditions contemplated by this Agreement or terminating this Agreement and abandoning
the Arrangement, on the failure of any condition set forth in Sections 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such
failure was primarily caused by, or primarily resulted from, such Party's failure to perform any of its covenants or agreements under
this Agreement.
Subject to applicable Law,
the conditions set out in Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 shall be conclusively deemed to have been satisfied, waived or released upon the issuance
of a Certificate in respect of the Arrangement.

ADDITIONAL Covenants Regarding Non-Solicitation
| 7.1 | IPL Covenant Regarding Non-Solicitation |
| (a) | IPL shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing solicitations, discussions or negotiations
(including through any Representatives on its behalf), if any, with any Person (other than Pembina and its Representatives) with respect
to any Acquisition Proposal and, in connection therewith, IPL shall discontinue access to any of its confidential information (including
any data room), and shall promptly request the return or destruction of all information respecting IPL or any of its Subsidiaries provided
to any Person (other than Pembina or its Representatives) who has entered into a confidentiality agreement with IPL or any of its Subsidiaries
relating to an Acquisition Proposal in the last twelve months and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such
requests are honoured. IPL and its Subsidiaries shall enforce all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar
agreements or covenants that IPL or any of its Subsidiaries has entered into prior to the date of this Agreement and that IPL or any of
its Subsidiaries enters into after the date of this Agreement in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (it being
acknowledged by Pembina that IPL shall not be obligated to enforce any standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and
similar agreements or covenants that are automatically terminated or released as a result of entering into and announcing this Agreement). |
| (b) | Except as provided in this Article 7, IPL shall not, directly or indirectly, do or authorize or permit
any of its Representatives to do, any of the following: |
| (i) | solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or otherwise facilitate (including by way of furnishing information)
any Acquisition Proposal; |
| (ii) | enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, or furnish
to any other Person any information with respect to its businesses, properties, operations, prospects or conditions (financial or otherwise)
in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage,
any effort or attempt of any other Person to do or seek to do any of the foregoing; provided that IPL may (A) communicate with any Person
for the purposes of clarifying the terms of any inquiry, proposal or offer made by such Person that constitutes or could reasonably be
expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (B) advise any Person of the restrictions of this Agreement, and (C) advise
any Person making an Acquisition Proposal that the IPL Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute a Superior
Proposal; |
| (iii) | waive, terminate, amend, modify or release any third party or otherwise forbear in the enforcement of,
or enter into or participate in any discussions, negotiations or agreements to waive, terminate, amend, modify or release any third party
from or otherwise forbear in respect of, any rights or other benefits under confidentiality and/or standstill agreements relating to an
Acquisition Proposal (which, for greater certainty, does not prohibit the automatic release of a party or termination of such provisions
in accordance with the pre-existing and express terms of any standstill provision); |
| (iv) | accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or
take no position or remain neutral with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that publicly taking no position or
a neutral position with respect to a publicly announced, or otherwise publicly disclosed, Acquisition Proposal for a period of no more
than five business days will not be considered to be in violation of this Section 7.1(b)(iv)); or |
| (v) | accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in
principle, agreement, arrangement or undertaking related to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality and standstill agreement
contemplated under Section 7.1(b)(vi)); |
provided, however, that
notwithstanding any other provision hereof, IPL and its Representatives may, prior to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution at the
IPL Shareholders' Meeting:
| (vi) | enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with a third party that is not in breach
of any confidentiality or standstill agreement and that, without any solicitation, initiation or knowing encouragement or facilitation,
directly or indirectly, after the date of this Agreement, by IPL or any of its Representatives, seeks to initiate such discussions or
negotiations and, subject to execution of a confidentiality and standstill agreement in favour of IPL that contains a standstill provision
that IPL determines in good faith is no less onerous or more beneficial to such third party than that in the Confidentiality Agreement
under which information was provided and made available to Pembina and is otherwise on terms that IPL determines in good faith are no
less favourable to IPL than those found in such Confidentiality Agreement (provided that such confidentiality and standstill agreement
shall (A) allow for disclosure thereof, along with all information provided thereunder, to Pembina as set out below, (B) allow
disclosure to Pembina of the making and terms of any Acquisition Proposal made by the third party as contemplated herein, (C) not
contain any provision restricting IPL from complying with this Section 7.1, and (D) not contain any exclusivity provision or other
term that would restrict, in any manner, IPL’s ability to consummate the Arrangement pursuant to this Agreement) may furnish to
such third party any information concerning IPL and its Subsidiaries and their businesses, properties and assets, in each case if, and
only to the extent that: |
| (A) | the third party has first made a written bona fide Acquisition Proposal, which did not result from
a breach of this Section 7.1, and in respect of which the IPL Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside
legal and financial advisors, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (disregarding, for the purposes
of such determination, any due diligence or access condition to which such Acquisition Proposal is subject) (for additional clarity, the
Existing Bid is deemed not to be, and may not constitute, a Superior Proposal pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and therefore cannot
constitute or be reasonably expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal in any circumstances); and |
| (B) | prior to furnishing such information to or entering into or participating in any such discussions or negotiations
with such third party regarding the Acquisition Proposal, IPL shall: |
| (1) | provide prompt notice to Pembina to the effect that it is furnishing information to or entering into or
participating in discussions or negotiations with such third party, together with a copy of the confidentiality and standstill agreement
referenced above and, if not previously made available to Pembina, copies of all information provided to such third party concurrently
with the provision of such information to such third party; |
| (2) | notify Pembina orally and in writing of any inquiries, offers or proposals with respect to an actual or
contemplated Superior Proposal (which written notice shall include a summary of the material terms of such proposal (and any amendments
or supplements thereto)) and the identity of the Person making it, and shall include copies of any such inquiries, offers or proposals
made in writing and any amendments to any of the foregoing within 24 hours of the receipt thereof; and |
| (3) | keep Pembina promptly informed of the status and reasonable details of any such inquiry, offer or proposal
and answer Pembina's reasonable questions with respect thereto; and |
| (vii) | accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal from a third party
or make a Change in Recommendation, but only if prior to such acceptance, recommendation, approval or implementation or making such Change
in Recommendation, the IPL Board concludes in good faith, after considering all proposals to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement
as contemplated by Section 7.1(c) and after receiving the advice of outside legal counsel that the failure by the IPL Board to take
such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws, and IPL (A) complies with its obligations set
forth in this Section 7.1, (B) terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii), and (C) concurrently
therewith pays the amount required by Section 8.3(b)(ii) to Pembina. |
| (c) | Following determination by the IPL Board that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal,
IPL shall give Pembina, orally and in writing, at least five complete business days advance notice of any decision by the IPL Board to
accept, recommend, approve or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal or to make a Change in Recommendation, which notice
shall confirm that the IPL Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and shall identify the
third party making the Superior Proposal and IPL shall provide Pembina with a true and complete copy thereof and the agreement to implement
the Superior Proposal and any amendments thereto. During such five business day period, IPL agrees not to accept, recommend, approve or
enter into any agreement to implement such Superior Proposal and not to release the party making the Superior Proposal from any standstill
provisions and shall not make a Change in Recommendation. In addition, during such five business day period IPL shall, and shall cause
its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate in good faith with Pembina and its financial and legal advisors to make such adjustments
in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable IPL to proceed with the Arrangement as amended rather
than the Superior Proposal. In the event Pembina proposes to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement on a basis such that the IPL Board
determines that the alternative proposed transaction is no longer a Superior Proposal and so advises the board of directors of Pembina
prior to the expiry of such five business day period, the IPL Board shall not accept, recommend, approve or enter into any agreement to
implement such Acquisition Proposal and shall not release the party making the Acquisition Proposal from any standstill provisions and
shall not make a Change in Recommendation. In the event that IPL provides the notice contemplated by this Section 7.1(c) on a date which
is less than five business days prior to the IPL Shareholders' Meeting, Pembina shall be entitled to (i) adjourn or postpone the Pembina
Shareholders' Meeting, and (ii) require IPL to adjourn or postpone the IPL Shareholders' Meeting, in each case to a date that is not more
than 10 business days after the date of such notice. |
In addition, if Brookfield (or any affiliate
thereof) amends the amount or form of the consideration offered under the Existing Bid or announces its intention to do so (each, an "Amended
Bid"), and whether or not such Amended Bid is determined to constitute a Superior Proposal for the purposes of the preceding
paragraph, if requested by Pembina, IPL shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate in good faith with Pembina
and its financial and legal advisors in order to allow Pembina to make any increases to the Exchange Ratio or other adjustments in the
consideration offered or to otherwise amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Arrangement (which for clarity, shall not
be less favourable to IPL or the IPL Shareholders than those included in this Agreement and the Arrangement). In the event that the Amended
Bid is made or announced on a date which is less than five business days prior to the IPL Shareholders' Meeting, Pembina shall be entitled
to (i) adjourn or postpone the Pembina Shareholders' Meeting, and (ii) require IPL to adjourn or postpone the IPL Shareholders' Meeting,
in each case to a date that is not more than 10 business days after the date of such notice.
| (d) | Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal (including any Amended Bid) that results in an increase
in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by IPL Shareholders or other material terms
or condition thereof, shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal or Amended Bid for the purposes of Section 7.1(c), and, in respect
of a Superior Proposal, Pembina shall be afforded a new five business day period from the date on which Pembina received all of the materials
set forth in Section 7.1(c) with respect to the new Superior Proposal from IPL. |
| (e) | The IPL Board shall promptly reaffirm the recommendation and determination outlined in Section 2.2(a)
by press release after (i) any Acquisition Proposal which is publicly announced is determined not to be a Superior Proposal, or (ii) the
Parties have entered into an amended agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c) which results in any Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior
Proposal. |
| (f) | IPL shall ensure that its affiliates and Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 7.1.
IPL shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 7.1 by IPL's affiliates or IPL's Representatives. |
| (g) | Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit IPL or the IPL Board from complying with Part 2 - Division 3
of NI 62-104 relating to the provision of directors' circulars and making appropriate disclosure with respect thereto to IPL's securityholders. |

by the Outside Date or is not cured in accordance with the terms of Section 6.4; provided that (A) any fraudulent, wilful or intentional

costs, which Pembina or IPL, as applicable, will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination
of this Agreement, and are not penalties. Each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated
damages are excessive or punitive. |
| (b) | Each Party agrees that the payment of the IPL Termination Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee or amounts
under Sections 8.3(d) or 8.3(g) in the manner provided in Section 8.3 is the sole monetary remedy of the Party receiving such payment
in respect of the event giving rise to such payment; provided that this limitation shall not (a) apply in the event of fraud or willful
or intentional breach of this Agreement by the Party making such payment, and (b) prior to any termination of this Agreement, preclude
a Party from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach by the other Party of its covenants in this Agreement,
or otherwise obtain specific performance of any of such covenants in accordance with Section 9.8. |
Each Party shall pay all
fees, costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the Arrangement. Pembina and IPL shall share equally

Dissenting IPL ShareholderS
| 4.1 | Each registered holder of IPL Common Shares shall have the right to dissent with respect to the Arrangement
in accordance with the Interim Order and this Article 4. Notwithstanding subsection 191(5) of the ABCA, the written objection to
the Arrangement referred to in subsection 191(5) of the ABCA must be received by IPL from the Dissenting IPL Shareholder not later
than 4:00 p.m. on the date that is five Business Days prior to the date of the IPL Shareholders’ Meeting, all in accordance
with the Interim Order. |
| 4.2 | A Dissenting IPL Shareholder shall, at the Effective Time, cease to have any rights as a holder of IPL
Common Shares (other than as set forth herein), and shall only be entitled to be paid by IPL the fair value of the holder's IPL Common
Shares. A Dissenting IPL Shareholder who is entitled to be paid by IPL the fair value of the holder's IPL Common Shares shall, pursuant
to Section 3.1(b), be deemed to have transferred the holder's IPL Common Shares, (free and clear of any Encumbrances) to IPL for
cancellation without any further act or formality notwithstanding the provisions of section 191 of the ABCA. |
| 4.3 | A Dissenting IPL Shareholder who for any reason is not ultimately entitled to be paid the fair value of

IPL Common Shares notwithstanding the provisions of section 191 of the ABCA. |
| 4.4 | The fair value of the IPL Common Shares shall be determined as of the close of business on the last Business
Day before the day on which the Arrangement Resolution is approved by the IPL Shareholders. |

IPL Shareholder after the Effective Time, and the names of such holders shall be removed from the register of IPL Shareholders as at the

| 4.6 | For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in section 191 of the ABCA, any person
who has voted in favour of the Arrangement Resolution shall not be entitled to dissent with respect to such person's IPL Common Shares
for the Arrangement. In addition, a Dissenting IPL Shareholder may only exercise Dissent Rights in respect of all, and not less than all,

Article
5
OUTSTANDING CERTIFICATES AND FRACTIONAL SHARES
| 5.1 | Forthwith following the Effective Time, Pembina and AmalCo shall, subject to Section 5.2, cause to
be issued to the IPL Shareholders, the number of Pembina Common Shares issuable in respect of the IPL Common Shares required by Section
3.1(c). |
| 5.2 | Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or certificates (as applicable) which,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding IPL Common Shares, together with a duly completed and executed Letter
of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, each IPL Shareholder represented
by such surrendered certificate(s) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder,
the consideration which such holder has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such IPL Common Shares, less any amounts
withheld pursuant to Section 3.2, and any certificate(s) so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. |
| 5.3 | Until deposited with the Depositary (in the case of IPL Common Shares), as contemplated by Section 5.2,
each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented IPL Common Shares shall be deemed after the Effective Time to
represent only the right to receive upon such deposit the consideration and other property to which the holders of such IPL Common Shares
are entitled under the Arrangement, or as to those held by Dissenting IPL Shareholders, other than those Dissenting IPL Shareholders deemed
to have participated in the Arrangement pursuant to Section 4.3, to receive the fair value of the IPL Common Shares represented by
such certificates. Any such certificate formerly representing IPL Common Shares not duly surrendered on or before the last Business Day
prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former IPL Shareholder of
any kind or nature against IPL, AmalCo or Pembina. On such date, all consideration and other property to which such former holder was
entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to IPL, AmalCo or Pembina, as applicable. |
| 5.4 | No IPL Shareholder shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such IPL Common Shares
other than the consideration and other property to which such holder is entitled to receive under the Arrangement and, for greater certainty,
no such holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividend, premium or other payment in connection therewith. |
| 5.5 | If any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented an interest in outstanding
IPL Common Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Section 3.1 has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit
of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue and deliver in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the consideration and other property to which the holder is entitled pursuant
to the Arrangement as determined in accordance with the Arrangement. The person who is entitled to receive such consideration and other
property shall, as a condition precedent to the receipt thereof, give a bond satisfactory to Pembina and its transfer agent in such form
as is satisfactory to Pembina and such transfer agent, or otherwise indemnify IPL, AmalCo, Pembina and the transfer agent, to the reasonable
satisfaction of such persons, against any claim that may be made against any of them with respect to the certificate alleged to have been
lost, stolen or destroyed. |
| 5.6 | No certificates representing fractional Pembina Common Shares shall be issued under the Arrangement. In
lieu of any fractional Pembina Common Shares, each registered IPL Shareholder otherwise entitled to a fractional interest in Pembina Common
Shares will receive the nearest whole number of Pembina Common Shares. For greater certainty, where such fractional interest is greater
than or equal to 0.5, the number of Pembina Common Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole number, and where such
fractional interest is less than 0.5, the number of Pembina Common Shares to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
In calculating such fractional interests, all IPL Common Shares registered in the name of or beneficially held by such holders thereof
or their nominee shall be aggregated. |
