Dear Sirs and Mesdames:

(individually, an “Underwriter” and collectively, the “Underwriters”) understand that Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (the “Corporation”) proposes to issue and sell 16,860,000 Common Shares of the Corporation (the “Firm Securities”). In addition, the Underwriters understand that the Corporation proposes to grant to the Underwriters a one-time option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase additional Common Shares from the Corporation (the “Optional Securities”) for the sole purpose of covering over-allotments, in an amount equal to up to 15% of the number of Firm Securities (collectively, the Firm Securities and the Optional Securities are referred to as the “Purchased Securities”).

We also understand that the Corporation has filed a Base Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) relating to the qualification for distribution of subscription receipts, common shares and preferred shares of any series in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions (as hereinafter defined) and is prepared:

(a) to authorize and issue the Purchased Securities; and

(b) to prepare and file, without delay, a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Base Prospectus, in both the English and French languages and all necessary related documents in order to qualify the distribution of the Purchased Securities and the Over-Allotment Option in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions (the “Offering”).

Based upon the foregoing and on the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions set out below, the Corporation agrees to (i) sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) to purchase from the Corporation, the respective percentage of the Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Section 15.1 at a purchase price of $8.90 per Firm Security (for an aggregate purchase price of $150,054,000.00); and (ii) in the event and to the extent the Over-Allotment Option granted to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement is exercised by the Underwriters, the Corporation agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) to purchase from the Corporation the respective percentage of the Optional Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Section 15.1 at the purchase price of $8.90 per Optional Security in the manner contemplated in Article 3.

The Corporation shall pay to the Underwriters a fee (the “Commission”) at the Time of Closing (as hereinafter defined) or the Option Closing Time (as hereinafter defined), as applicable, equal to 4.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of Purchased Securities in consideration of the services to be rendered by the Underwriters in connection with such distributions, including, without limitation, acting as financial advisor to the Corporation in the preparation of documentation relating to the sale of the Purchased Securities; assisting the Corporation in connection with the preparation and finalization of the Prospectus Supplement (as hereinafter defined) and any amendments thereto; performing administrative work in connection with these matters; and all other services arising out of this agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters’ Fee”).

The Purchased Securities will be offered for sale at an initial offering price not exceeding the price per security specified on the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement (as hereinafter defined), provided that after the Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Purchased Securities at such price, the Underwriters may subsequently reduce the offering price of the Purchased Securities from time to time in order to sell any of the Purchased Securities remaining unsold. Each agreement of the Underwriters establishing a banking, selling or other group in respect of the distribution shall contain a similar covenant by each selling firm. Any such reduction in the offering price shall not affect the Purchase Price to be paid to the Corporation.

The services provided by the Underwriters in connection herewith will not be subject to the goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax provided for in the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and taxable supplies provided will be incidental to the exempt financial services provided.

The agreement resulting from the acceptance of this letter by the Corporation shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

INDEMNIFICATION

1. Indemnity

(a) Indemnity

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (the “Indemnitor”) hereby agrees to indemnify and save harmless CIBC World Markets Inc., TD Securities Inc., BMO Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Canada Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., Cormark Securities Inc. and/or any of their subsidiaries or affiliated companies (hereinafter referred to as the “Underwriters”) and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all liabilities, claims, losses (other than loss of profits), reasonable costs, damages and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (a “Claim”) in any way caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from, or in consequence of:

(i) any information or statement (except any statement relating solely to any of the Underwriters which has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Joint Bookrunners specifically for inclusion therein) contained in the attached letter of agreement (the “Agreement”), the Prospectus, any Supplementary Material, including the Documents Incorporated by Reference, or any Prospectus Amendments (as such terms are defined in the Agreement) thereto, supplements or in any certificate of the Corporation delivered pursuant to the Agreement which, at the time and in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation;

(ii) any omission or alleged omission to state in the Prospectus, any Supplementary Material, including the Documents Incorporated by Reference, or any Prospectus Amendments thereto, supplements or in any certificate of the Corporation delivered pursuant to the Agreement, any fact (except facts relating solely to any of the Underwriters), whether material or not, regarding the Corporation and its operations and affairs that is necessary to make any statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made;

(iii) any order made or enquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any securities commission or other competent authority based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or alleged omission or any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (except a statement or omission or alleged statement or omission regarding facts relating solely to any of the Underwriters) in the Prospectus, including any Documents

Incorporated by Reference or any Prospectus Amendments or supplements thereto or based upon any failure to comply with the Applicable Securities Laws (as such term is defined in the Agreement) (other than any failure or alleged failure to comply by any of the Underwriters), preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale or distribution of the Purchased Securities in any of the Qualifying Jurisdictions (as such term is defined in the Agreement);

(iv) the non-compliance or alleged noncompliance by the Corporation with any of the Applicable Securities Laws, including, in the case of the Corporation, the Corporation’s non-compliance with any statutory requirement to make any document available for inspection; or

(v) any breach by the Corporation of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations to be complied with under the Agreement.

This indemnity shall cease to be available to an Underwriter, if (i) a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment in which such Underwriter is named as a party determines that the Claim in respect of which indemnification is sought is a result of or arises out of the recklessness, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Underwriter (provided that, for greater certainty, the Corporation and the Underwriters agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Underwriters to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Underwriters with reasonable grounds for believing the Prospectus, any Supplementary Material, including any Documents Incorporated by Reference, or any Prospectus Amendments contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “recklessness”, “gross negligence” or “willful misconduct” for purposes of this Section 1 or otherwise disentitle the Underwriters from indemnification hereunder); or (ii) a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented, if the Corporation shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Underwriters to a person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, but only (x) if required by law so to have been delivered by the Underwriters to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Purchased Securities to such person, and (y) if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) delivered to the Underwriters a reasonable amount of time in advance of such confirmation would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. In such event, such Underwriter shall reimburse any funds advanced by the Corporation to the Underwriter pursuant to the indemnification contained in this Schedule “B” in respect of such Claim and thereafter this indemnity shall cease to apply to such Underwriter in respect of such Claim.

(b) Notification of Claims

If any Claim is asserted against any person or company in respect of which indemnification is or might reasonably be considered to be provided, such person or company (the “Indemnified Party”) will notify the Corporation as soon as possible of the nature of such Claim (but the omission so to notify the Corporation of any potential Claim shall not relieve the Corporation from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party and any omission so to notify the Corporation of any actual Claim shall affect the Corporation’s liability only to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by that failure). Subject to subsection 1(d), the Corporation

shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce such Claim; provided, however, that the defense shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, that no settlement of any such Claim or admission of liability may be made by the Corporation or the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other parties, acting reasonably, and the Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Claim unless it has consented in writing to such settlement. The Corporation shall not settle any Claim, or compromise a consent to any judgment unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

(c) Right of Indemnity in Favour of Others

With respect to any Indemnified Party who is not a party to the Agreement, the Indemnified Parties who are party to the Agreement shall obtain and hold the rights and benefits of this Section in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

(d) Retaining Counsel

In any Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain other counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Corporation fails to assume the defense of such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party within 10 days of receiving written notice of such suit; (ii) the Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of the other counsel; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including any added third or impleaded party) include the Indemnified Party and the Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that the representation of all parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them. In no event shall the Corporation be liable to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one firm of separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties and, in addition, one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction.

2. Contribution

(a) Contribution by the Corporation

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 1 of this Schedule “B” is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Claim, the Corporation (the “Indemnifier”) and the Underwriters 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 the Corporation as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Purchased Securities; or if this allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the information, statement,

omission, misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in Section 1 of this Schedule “B” which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds (net of the fee payable to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses (to the extent that such expenses are payable by the Corporation pursuant to Section 3 of this Schedule “B”)) received by the Corporation from the issue and sale of the Purchased Securities bears to the fee received by the Underwriters, in each case, as set out in the table on the face page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the information, statement, omission, misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in Section 1 of this Schedule “B” which resulted in such Claim relates to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done by or on behalf of the Corporation or to information supplied by or steps or actions 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, misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in Section 1 of this Schedule “B”. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Claim referred to above shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim, whether or not resulting in any such action, suit, proceeding or claim. The Corporation and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to immediately above.

A person who is engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, recklessness or gross negligence shall not, to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment determines that the Claim was caused by that activity, be entitled to claim contribution therefor from any person who has not also been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment to have engaged in that fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, recklessness or gross negligence.

(b) Right of Contribution in Addition to Other Rights

The rights to contribution provided in this Section 2 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

(c) Calculation of Contribution

In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment determines that an Indemnifier is entitled to contribution from the Underwriters under the provisions of any statute or at law, the Indemnifier shall be limited to contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of:

(i) the portion of the full amount of the loss or liability giving rise to such contribution for which the Underwriters are responsible, as determined in subsection 2(a) of this Schedule “B”, and

(ii) the amount of the fee actually received by the Underwriters from the Corporation under the Agreement.

(d) Notice of Claim for Contribution

Notification to the Corporation of a Claim pursuant to subsection 1(b) of this Schedule “B” shall be deemed to also constitute notice to the Corporation that a claim for contribution by the Underwriters may arise and omission to so notify shall have similar effect.

(e) Right of Contribution in Favour of Others

The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Schedule “B”, the Underwriters are contracting on their own behalf and as agents for their affiliates and for their affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Beneficiaries”). In this regard the Underwriters shall act as trustees for the Beneficiaries of the Corporation’s covenants under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Schedule “B” with respect to the Beneficiaries and accept these trusts and shall hold and enforce the covenants on behalf of the Beneficiaries. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 2 are several in proportion to the percentages set forth opposite their names in Section 24 of the Agreement and not joint.

3. Severability

If any provision of Section 1 or 2 of this Schedule “B” 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 the Agreement and such void or unenforceable provision shall be severable from the Agreement.
