RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (“RBC”), Credit Suisse Securities (Canada), Inc. (“CS”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”), HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc. (“HSBC” and, together with RBC, CS and Citi, the “Representatives”), CIBC World Markets Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., TD Securities Inc., Barclays Capital Canada Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., BMO Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Inc., National Bank Financial Inc. and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Ltd., (each of the foregoing, an “Underwriter”, and, collectively the “Underwriters”) understand that Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (“BIP”) proposes to issue 9,680,000 limited partnership units (the “Units”) through the Underwriters (the “Offering”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Underwriters severally (in accordance with the percentages set forth in section 19.1) and not jointly offer to purchase all but not less than all of the Units at a purchase price of $33.25 per Unit (the “Offering Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of $321,860,000 (the “Purchase Price”), and by its acceptance of this offer BIP agrees to issue and sell the Units to the Underwriters. In addition, BIP hereby grants to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option (as defined herein) and agrees to sell to the Underwriters the Additional Units (as defined herein) on the same basis as the purchase of the Units, to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option is exercised by the Underwriters. Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“BILP”) has also agreed to sell 3,860,000 RPUs (as defined herein) to Brookfield Asset Management Inc. or an affiliate thereof (“BAM”) on a private placement basis at a price of $31.92 per RPU (being the Offering Price net of the Underwriting Fee, as defined herein). If the Underwriters exercise the Over-Allotment Option, in full or in part, BAM shall have the option to purchase concurrently with the closing of each exercise by the Underwriters of the Over-Allotment Option such number of additional RPUs (the “Additional RPUs”), as determined by BAM, required to maintain BAM’s direct and indirect interest in BIP (on a fully exchanged basis).

In consideration of the agreement of the Underwriters to purchase the Units and the Additional Units (if applicable) and the services rendered and to be rendered by the Underwriters in connection herewith, BIP agrees to pay the Underwriting Fee to the Underwriters. Payment of the Purchase Price by the Underwriters and of the Underwriting Fee payable in connection therewith by BIP will be made at the Closing Time (as defined herein) at the offices of Torys LLP in Toronto, Ontario against delivery by BIP of the Units. Payment of the Additional Purchase Price (as defined herein), if applicable, by the Underwriters and of the Underwriting Fee payable in connection therewith by BIP will be made at the Over-Allotment Closing Time (as defined herein) at the offices of Torys LLP in Toronto, Ontario against delivery by BIP of the

Such delivery shall also constitute the consent of BIP to the use of the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Prospectus by the Underwriters in connection with the distribution of the Units and the Additional Units.

8 Distribution of Units

8.1 The Underwriters shall offer the Units and the Additional Units for sale to the public directly and through banking and selling group members only in compliance with Applicable Securities Laws. The Underwriters will not solicit offers to purchase or sell the Units or the Additional Units so as to require registration of the Units or the Additional Units or filing of a prospectus with respect to the distribution of the Units and the Additional Units under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States and the Qualifying Jurisdictions, and will require each banking and selling group member to agree with the Underwriters not to so solicit or sell, provided that the Underwriters and the banking and selling groups may offer and sell Units and Additional Units outside of the Qualifying Jurisdictions and the United States if such offer and sale is conducted in compliance with the securities laws of such jurisdictions and does not require BIP to file any prospectus or registration statement or similar document in connection with such offer and sale. The Underwriters shall be entitled to assume that the Units and the Additional Units are qualified for distribution in any province or territory within the Qualifying Jurisdictions unless the Underwriters receive notice to the contrary from BIP or the applicable Securities Commission. An Underwriter will not be liable to BIP under this section with respect to a default by another Underwriter under this section.

8.3 The Underwriters shall use their reasonable best endeavours to terminate, and cause each banking and selling group member to terminate, the distribution of the Units and the Additional Units as promptly as possible. Each of the Underwriters, within the Distribution Period, will notify the Representatives, and the Representatives will notify

- 10 -

BIP, in writing, when distribution of the Units and the Additional Units has terminated. Each of the Underwriters will notify the Representatives, and the Representatives will notify BIP, in writing, of the number of Units and Additional Units, if any, sold in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions as soon as possible after the distribution of the Units and Additional Units, if any, has been completed, and in any event no later than 30 days following the date on which such distribution has been completed.

9 Material Change

9.1 During the Distribution Period, BIP shall promptly notify the Underwriters in writing, with full particulars, of:

(a) any change (actual, contemplated or threatened) in the business, affairs, operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), capital or ownership of BIP on a consolidated basis (other than a change disclosed in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus); or

which change or fact is, or may be, of such a nature as to render the U.S. Prospectus, the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the U.S. Prospectus or the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus misleading or untrue in any material respect or would result in any of such documents containing a misrepresentation, as defined under Canadian Securities Laws, or which would result in any of such documents not complying in any material respect with any of the Applicable Securities Laws or which would result in any of such documents containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or which change would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value of the Units and/or the Additional Units. BIP shall in good faith discuss with the Underwriters any change in circumstances (actual or proposed within the knowledge of BIP) which is of such a nature that there is reasonable doubt whether notice need be given to the Underwriters pursuant to this section and, in any event, prior to making any filing referred to in section 9.4.

The statements set forth in the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Prospectus under the caption “Description of Limited Partnership Units”, insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Units and under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”, and under the caption “Underwriting”, insofar as they purport to describe the provisions of the laws and documents referred to therein, are accurate, complete and fair.

14.1 In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Underwriters, any Underwriter shall be entitled, at its option, to terminate and cancel its obligations under this Agreement, without any liability on their or its part, in the following circumstances:

(a) Regulatory Proceeding Out. if, after the Bid Letter Time and prior to the Closing Time, an inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding is commenced or threatened or any order is made or issued under or pursuant to any law of Canada or the United States or by any other regulatory authority or stock exchange (except any such proceeding or order based solely upon the activities of any of the Underwriters), or there is any change of law or the interpretation or administration thereof, which in such Underwriter’s opinion, acting reasonably, would prevent, suspend, delay, restrict or adversely affect the trading in or the distribution of the Units or any other securities of BIP in any of the Qualifying Jurisdictions or in the United States; or

(b) Disaster Out. if, after the Bid Letter Time and prior to the Closing Time, there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition or occurrence of national or international consequence or any action, governmental law or regulation, enquiry or other occurrence of any nature whatsoever which, in such Underwriter’s sole opinion in its absolute discretion, acting reasonably, might be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the market price or value of the Units, including, without limitation, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis in the United States or elsewhere; or

- 30 -

(c) Material Change. if, after the Bid Letter Time and prior to the Closing Time, there should occur, be discovered by the Underwriters or be announced by BIP, any material change or a change in any material fact which results or, in the sole opinion of such Underwriter, acting reasonably, might be expected to result, in the purchasers of a material number of Units exercising their right under applicable legislation to withdraw from their purchase of Units or, in the sole opinion of such Underwriter, might reasonably be expected to have a significant adverse effect on the market price or value of the Units or makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Units on the Closing Date or the Over-Allotment Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus; or

(d) Financial Market Out. if there is a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on any of the Exchanges, a suspension or material limitation in trading in BIP’s securities on any of the Exchanges or a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either Canadian, U.S. Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in Canada or the United States which, in each such instance, the effect is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Underwriter, acting reasonably, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Units on the Closing Date or the Over-Allotment Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus.

14.2 The rights of termination contained in section 14.1 may be exercised by any Underwriter giving written notice thereof to BIP and the Representatives at any time prior to the Closing Time and are in addition to any other rights or remedies the Underwriters may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act or non-compliance by BIP in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise. In the event of any such termination, there shall be no further liability or obligation on the part of the Underwriters to BIP or on the part of BIP to the Underwriters except in respect of any liability or obligation under any of sections 13 and 14 which will remain in full force and effect.

15 Conditions

15.1 All terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be construed as conditions and any material breach or failure to comply in all material respects with any such terms or conditions which are for the benefit of the Underwriters shall entitle the Underwriters to terminate their obligation to purchase the Units by notice in writing to that effect given to BIP at or prior to the Closing Time. The Underwriters may waive in whole or in part or extend the time for compliance with any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to their rights in respect of any other of such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters any such waiver or extension must be in writing.

16 Restrictions on Further Issues or Sales

16.1 Neither BIP nor any of its subsidiaries will, nor will any of them announce any intention to, directly or indirectly, for a period ending 90 days after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, acting reasonably, (i) offer or sell, or enter into an agreement to offer or sell any Units or other securities of BIP, or securities convertible into, exchangeable for, or otherwise exercisable into, any Units or other securities of BIP, other than (A) the issuance of RPUs and Additional RPUs pursuant to the Brookfield Investment; (B) for purposes of directors’, officers’ or employee incentive plans; (C) pursuant to BIP’s distribution reinvestment plan; (D) to satisfy existing BIP instruments issued at the date hereof; (E) Units issued in connection with an arms’ length acquisition, merger, consolidation or amalgamation with any company or companies as long as the party receiving such Units agrees to be similarly restricted; (F) the issuance of Units pursuant to the redemption of outstanding RPUs or (G) debt securities or Preferred Units not convertible into Units, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Units of BIP.

16.2 BAM will also agree not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any Units or RPUs (other than to an affiliate), agree to become bound to do so, or disclose to the public any intention to do so for a period ending 90 days after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, acting reasonably.

17 Indemnification

17.1 BIP shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Underwriters (which term, for the purpose of this section shall be deemed to include affiliates of the Underwriters) and the Underwriters’ directors, officers and employees and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (for the purposes of this section 17, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all liabilities, claims, demands, losses (other than loss of profit in connection with the distribution of the Units), costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, in any way caused by or arising directly or indirectly from or in consequence of:

(a) any breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of BIP in this Agreement or any other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, or the failure of BIP to comply with any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder;

(b) any information or statement in the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus and the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any amendments thereto or any other material filed in compliance or intended compliance with Applicable Securities Laws being or being alleged to be a misrepresentation or untrue, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein any information;

- 32 -

(c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the U.S. Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

(d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the U.S. Base Prospectus, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, any Subsequent Disclosure Document, any amendment to the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any other material filed in compliance or intended compliance with Applicable Securities Laws, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(e) BIP not complying with any requirement of Applicable Securities Laws, or any breach or violation or alleged breach or violation of any Applicable Securities Laws or other applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction; or

(f) any order made or any inquiry, investigation, or proceeding instituted, threatened or announced by any court, securities regulatory authority, stock exchange, or other competent authority (except any such proceeding or order based solely upon the activities of any of the Underwriters) or any change of law or the interpretation or administration thereof which operates to prevent or restrict the trading in or the distribution of the Units, the Additional Units, or any other securities of BIP in any of the Qualifying Jurisdictions;

provided that BIP shall cease to be liable for indemnification under this section 17.1 in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses that arise out of or are based upon any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in the U.S. Base Prospectus, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, any Subsequent Disclosure Document, any amendment to the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or in any other material so filed in reliance upon and in conformity with information in respect of any of the Underwriters furnished in writing to BIP by the Underwriters through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in such document, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in section 17.3 below. The rights of indemnity contained in this section 17.1 in respect of a claim based on a misrepresentation, falsehood or omission or alleged misrepresentation, falsehood or omission in the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, any Subsequent Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus shall not apply if BIP has complied with section 7.1 and, if applicable, sections 7.2 and 9.5 and the person asserting such claim was not provided with a copy of the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, any Subsequent

- 33 -

Disclosure Document or any amendment to the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus (which is required under the Canadian Securities Laws to be delivered to such person by the Underwriters) which corrects such misrepresentation, falsehood or omission or alleged misrepresentation, falsehood or omission.

17.2 If any of the Indemnified Parties incurs or suffers any loss, claim, demand, damage, cost, expense or liability (other than loss of profit) caused by or arising directly or indirectly by reason of any circumstance described in section 17.1 in respect of which BIP would be obligated to indemnify pursuant to that section and is indemnified (pursuant to a legal obligation or otherwise) in respect thereof by any of the Underwriters, then such of the Underwriters who provided such indemnity shall be protected and indemnified by BIP to the extent thereof. It is intended that the rights to indemnity provided in section 17.1 be held in trust by the Underwriters for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties other than the Underwriters.

17.3 Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless BIP, its directors, its officers who signed the U.S. Registration Statement and each person who controls BIP within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in 17.1(c) and (d) above, but only with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to BIP by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the U.S. Registration Statement, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the Disclosure Package, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information under the heading “Underwriting” in the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus and the U.S. Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information related to stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids contained in the ninth, tenth and eleventh paragraphs thereunder.

17.4 In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in sections 17.1 and 17.2 are unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason to an Indemnified Party in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to therein, BIP shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (or, if such indemnity is unavailable only in respect of a portion of the amount so paid or payable, such portion of the amount so paid or payable) by such Indemnified Party as a result of such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses:

(a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by BIP on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Units and Additional Units, if any; or

(b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of BIP, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the matters or things referred to in section 17.1 which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands,

- 34 -

losses, costs, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations,

provided that the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the Underwriting Fee or any portion thereof actually received. The relative benefits received by BIP, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total proceeds from the offering of the Units and Additional Units, if any, (net of the Underwriting Fee payable to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by BIP is to the Underwriting Fee received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of BIP on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in section 17.1 which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of BIP or to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Underwriters and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in section 17.1. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses, whether or not resulting in an action, suit, proceeding or claim. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this section 17.4 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this section 17.4. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section 17.4, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Units and Additional Units, if any, exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this section 17.4 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

17.5 If any claim contemplated by this section 17 shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party concerned shall promptly notify BIP of the nature of such claim (provided that any failure to so notify promptly shall relieve BIP of liability under this section 17 only to the extent that such failure prejudices the ability of BIP to defend such claim), and BIP shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) brought to enforce such claim. Any such defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party (whose acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) and no admission of liability or settlement shall be made by BIP or any Indemnified Party in respect of any Indemnified Party without the

- 35 -

prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) BIP fails to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time; or (ii) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by BIP; or (iii) the named parties to any such suit or proceeding include both the Indemnified Party and BIP and the Indemnified Party shall have received a written opinion from counsel that there may be one or more legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to BIP (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies BIP in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of BIP, BIP shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party and shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, BIP shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstance, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties). BIP shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or suit effected without its written consent. It is the intention of BIP to constitute each of the Underwriters as trustees for the Underwriters’ directors, officers, employees, affiliates and persons who control any of the Underwriters, of the covenants of BIP under section 17.1 with respect to the Indemnified Parties and the Underwriters agree to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons. BIP shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

17.6 BIP waives all right of contribution by statute or common law which it may have against the Underwriters in respect of losses, claims, costs, damages or liabilities which it may sustain as a direct or indirect consequence of the U.S. Base Prospectus, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus, any Subsequent Disclosure Document, any amendment to the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any other document containing or being alleged to contain a misrepresentation, provided that such right against any one of the Underwriters is not waived in respect of losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities sustained as a direct or indirect consequence of the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any other document containing a misrepresentation of which such Underwriter was aware of at the time it signed the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or any amendment to the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or a misrepresentation made in reliance upon and in conformity with information in respect of

- 36 -

the Underwriters furnished to BIP by the Underwriters specifically for use in the preparation of the Supplemented Canadian Prospectus or other document.

17.7 The rights provided in this section 17 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

18 Expenses

18.1 Whether or not the Offering is completed, BIP will be responsible for all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, delivery and marketing of the Offering, including without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of BIP’s legal counsel, all fees and disbursements of auditors, prospectus filing fees, rating agency fees and all expenses related to marketing activities and printing costs; provided, however, that the Underwriters will be responsible for their “out of pocket” expenses and the fees and disbursements of the Underwriters’ legal counsel. If the Offering is terminated, other than by reason of a default of one of the Underwriters, BIP shall reimburse the Underwriters for any and all expenses reasonably incurred by them.

19 Several Obligations

19.1 The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Units shall be several and not joint, and the percentage of the Units which each of the Underwriters shall be severally obligated to purchase is as follows:

RBC Dominion Securities Inc.			14	%
Credit Suisse Securities (Canada), Inc.			14	%
Citigroup Global Markets Inc.			14	%
HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc.			14	%
CIBC World Markets Inc.			7	%
Scotia Capital Inc.			7	%
TD Securities Inc.			7	%
Barclays Capital Canada Inc.			7	%
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.			7	%
BMO Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Inc.			4	%
National Bank Financial Inc.			4	%
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Ltd.			1	%
			100	%

For the avoidance of doubt, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. will only distribute the Units and the Additional Units, if any, in the United States.

19.2 If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase its applicable percentage of the Units at the Closing Time, and the number of Units not purchased is less than or equal to 5% of the aggregate number of Units agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, each of the other Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase severally the Units not taken up, on a pro rata basis or as they may otherwise agree as between themselves.

19.3 If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase its applicable percentage of the Units at the Closing Time, and the number of Units not purchased is

- 37 -

greater than 5% of the aggregate number of Units agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, those of the Underwriters who shall be willing and able to purchase their respective percentage of the Units shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase severally the Units not taken up, on a pro rata basis or as they may otherwise agree as between themselves. In the event that such right is not exercised, the Underwriter or Underwriters which are willing and able to purchase its or their respective percentage of the Units shall be relieved, without liability, of its or their obligations to purchase its or their respective percentage of the Units on submission to BIP of reasonable evidence of its or their ability and willingness to fulfil its or their obligations under this Agreement at the Closing Time.

19.4 Notwithstanding anything contained in sections 19.2 or 19.3, nothing in this section 19 shall oblige BIP to sell to the Underwriters less than all of the Units. In addition, nothing contained in sections 19.2 or 19.3 shall relieve from responsibility to BIP any one of the Underwriters who shall default in its obligation to purchase its respective percentage of the Units.

20 Authority of the Representatives

20.1 All steps which must or may be taken by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement, with the exception of any waiver of a material condition precedent pursuant to section 13, any notice of termination pursuant to section 14, any settlement of an indemnified claim pursuant to section 17 and any agreement to amend this Agreement, may be taken by the Representatives on the Underwriters’ behalf, after consultation with the other Underwriters, and this is the authority to BIP for accepting notification of any such steps from the Representatives on their behalf without any further investigation or inquiry.

22 Miscellaneous

22.1 In connection with the distribution of the Units and the Additional Units, if any, the Underwriters and members of their selling group (if any) may, in conformity with all applicable laws, over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Units at levels above those which might otherwise prevail on the open market in compliance with Applicable Securities Laws. Such stabilizing transactions, if any, may be discontinued at any time.

22.2 The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in documents submitted pursuant to this Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive the purchase by the Underwriters of the Units and the Additional Units, if any, and shall continue in full force and effect unaffected by any subsequent disposition by the Underwriters of the Units and Additional Units, if any.

22.3 Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

22.4 This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts by facsimile or electronic PDF copy, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original but which together will constitute one and the same agreement.

22.5 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among such parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

22.6 If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or in part, it shall be deemed not to affect or impair the validity of any other provision of this Agreement and such void or unenforceable provision shall be severable from this Agreement.

22.7 This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

22.8 BIP hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in the City and County of New York and of the United States for the Southern District of New York and the federal and provincial courts in the Province of Ontario in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. BIP irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York in the City and County of New York and of the United States for the Southern District of New York

- 42 -

and the federal and provincial courts in the Province of Ontario and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. BIP irrevocably appoints Torys LLP as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to BIP by the person serving the same to the address provided in section 21.1(a), shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon BIP in any such suit or proceeding. BIP further agrees to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this Agreement.

22.9 BIP acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Units pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Units and the Additional Units, if any, and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between BIP, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the Offering and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of BIP or its unitholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of BIP with respect to the Offering or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising BIP on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to BIP with respect to the Offering except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of BIP, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Offering and BIP has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deems appropriate.

22.10 BIP and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
