any template version thereof, to be provided to potential investors in the Shares, and approve in writing any such marketing materials (including any template version thereof), as may reasonably be requested by the Underwriters, such Marketing Materials to comply with Canadian Securities Laws and to be acceptable in form and substance to the Underwriters and their counsel, acting reasonably, (ii) RBC Dominion Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc. and BMO Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Inc., shall, on behalf of the Underwriters, approve in writing any such Marketing Materials, as contemplated by the Canadian Securities Laws, prior to any Marketing Materials being provided to potential investors of Shares and/or filed with the Canadian Securities Commissions; and (iii) the Corporation shall: (A) file any such Marketing Materials (or any template version thereof) with the Canadian Securities Commissions as soon as reasonably practicable after such Marketing Materials are so approved in writing by the Corporation and RBC Dominion Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc. and BMO Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Inc., on behalf of the Underwriters, and in any event on or before the day the Marketing Materials are first provided to any potential investor of Shares, and file any such Marketing Materials with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act on or before the day such Marketing Materials are first provided to any potential investor of the Shares, unless an exemption is available from such filing requirement and the conditions to the availability of such exemption are satisfied; and (B) remove or redact any comparables from any template version so filed, in compliance with the Shelf Procedures, prior to filing such template version with the Canadian Securities Commissions (but such comparables shall not be removed from the version filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act); provided that a complete template version containing such comparables and any disclosure relating to the comparables, if any, shall be delivered to the Canadian Securities Commissions in compliance with the Shelf Procedures by the Corporation, and a copy thereof provided to the Underwriters as soon as practicable following such filing.

(p) The Corporation and each Underwriter, on a several basis, covenants and agrees that, during the distribution of the Shares, it will not provide any potential investor with any materials or information in relation to the distribution of the Shares or the Corporation other than the Prospectuses and any amendments or supplements thereto in accordance with this Agreement, provided that: (A) any such materials that constitute marketing materials have been approved and filed in accordance with Section 8(o); and (B) any such materials that constitute standard term sheets have been approved in writing by the Corporation and RBC Dominion Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc. and BMO Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Inc., on behalf of the Underwriters, and are provided in compliance with Canadian Securities Laws in each case only in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions.

(q) Notwithstanding Section 8(o) and 8(p), following the approval and filing of a template version of marketing materials in accordance with Section

Section 8(o), the Underwriters may provide a “limited-use version” (as such term is defined in NI 41-101) of such template version to potential investors in the Shares in accordance with Canadian Securities Laws.

9. Covenants of the Underwriters. (a) Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Corporation not to take any action that would result in the Corporation being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus (other than the free writing prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule III hereto, or any free writing prospectus prepared and filed in accordance with the terms of Section 8(o)) prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Corporation thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

(b)The Underwriters hereby severally further covenant and agree with the Corporation the following:(i) during the period of distribution of the Shares by or through the Underwriters, the Underwriters will offer and sell the Shares to the public only in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions and in the United States directly and through other duly registered investment dealers and brokers (the Underwriters, together with such other investment dealers and brokers, are referred to herein as the “Selling Firms”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectuses and in this Underwriting Agreement; (ii) the Underwriters will use reasonable efforts to sell the Shares at the Purchase Price and if any such Shares remain unsold after such reasonable efforts, the Underwriters may sell such Shares at such price lower than the Purchase Price as is permitted under applicable law; and (iii) the Underwriters will notify the Corporation when, in the Underwriters’ opinion, the Underwriters have ceased the distribution of the Shares, and, as soon as reasonably practicable after completion of the distribution, will provide the Corporation, in writing, with a breakdown of the number of Shares distributed in each of the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions where that breakdown is required by a Canadian Securities Commission for the purpose of calculating fees payable to, or making filings with, that Canadian Securities Commission. The Underwriters will (and will cause the Selling Firms to) comply with Canadian Securities Laws and securities laws applicable to the Underwriters in the United States with respect to the offer to sell and the distribution of the Shares. Except in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions and in the United States, the Underwriters will not, directly or indirectly, solicit offers to purchase or sell the Shares or deliver any Prospectus so as to require the registration of the Shares or the filing of a prospectus with respect to the Shares under the laws of any jurisdiction.

10. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, and each of their respective officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the

meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses (other than loss of profits), claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by or based upon:

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Corporation information that the Corporation has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or the Prospectuses or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Marketing Materials, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Corporation in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein,

(ii) the Corporation not complying with any requirement of Canadian Securities Laws or the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or stock exchange requirement in connection with this offering, and

(iii) any breach by the Corporation of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement.

(b) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 10(a) , such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named

parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters, and all of their respective officers, employees and agents, and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Corporation, the officers of the Corporation who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of either such Section. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such officers, employees and agents, and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by RBC Dominion Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc. and BMO Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Inc. In the case of any such separate firm for the Corporation, officers of the Corporation and control persons of the Corporation, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Corporation. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested the indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior 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 indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(c) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount

paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 10(c)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 10(c)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, 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 in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Corporation and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of each of the Prospectuses, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Corporation or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint (nor joint and several).

(d) The Corporation and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 10(c). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 10(c) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public 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 remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(e) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Corporation contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, and any of their respective officers, employees or agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, or any affiliate of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Corporation, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Corporation and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

(f) The indemnifying party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Section 10, the Underwriters are contracting on their own behalf and as agents for their affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Beneficiaries”). In this regard, each of the Underwriters will act as trustee for the Beneficiaries of the covenants of the indemnifying party under this Section 10 with respect to the Beneficiaries and accepts these trusts and will hold and enforce those covenants on behalf of the Beneficiaries.

11. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Corporation, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, either of the TSX or the NYSE, (ii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in Canada or the United States shall have occurred, (iii) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Canadian or United States authorities, (iv) any inquiry, investigation or proceeding in relation to the Corporation or its directors or officers, whether formal or informal, is commenced, announced, or threatened, which, in the opinion of the Underwriters, acting in good faith, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (v) any law or regulation under or pursuant to any statute of Canada or of any province thereof, or of the United States or any state or territory thereof, is promulgated or changed which in the opinion of the Underwriters, acting in good faith, operates to prevent or materially restrict the distribution or trading of the Shares or which, in the opinion of the Underwriters, acting in good faith, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, including as to the market price or value of the Shares, (vi) there is, in the opinion of the Underwriters, acting in good faith, a material change or a change in any material fact or a new material fact arises that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, including as to the market price or value of the Shares, (vii)

there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, terrorist action, or any change in financial markets, currency exchange rates or controls or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause, makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectuses.

12. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the other Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, but not the obligation to purchase, in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and non-defaulting Underwriters have not elected to purchase such default Shares within 36 hours after such default, then each non-defaulting Underwriter shall have the several right to terminate its purchase obligation under this Agreement without any liability to it, and the Corporation shall have the right to proceed with the sale of the Shares (less the defaulted shares and any other terminations by the Underwriters) to the remaining Underwriters or to terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Corporation. In any such case either you or the Corporation shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectuses or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional

Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Corporation to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Corporation shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Corporation will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder. In all other instances, the Underwriters shall be solely responsible for their out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

13. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Corporation and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectuses, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares. This Agreement supersedes that certain Bid Letter, by and between RBC Dominion Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc. and BMO Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Inc. and the Corporation, dated August 13, 2014.

(b) The Corporation acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and have assumed no, and owe no, fiduciary or advisory duties to the Corporation or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Corporation only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Corporation. The Corporation waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

14. Action by the Underwriters. All steps which must or may be taken by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement, with the exception of matters relating to termination, and the settlement of any indemnity claim may be taken by you on your behalf and on behalf of the other Underwriters, and the

execution of this Agreement shall constitute the Corporation’s authority for accepting notification of any such steps or instructions by you.

15. TMX Group. Each of CIBC World Markets Inc., GMP Securities L.P., National Bank Financial Inc., Scotia Capital Inc. and TD Securities Inc. or an affiliate thereof, owns or controls an equity interest in TMX Group Limited (“TMX Group”) and has a nominee director serving on the TMX Group’s board of directors. As such, each such investment dealer may be considered to have an economic interest in the listing of securities on any exchange owned or operated by TMX Group, including the TSX, the TSX Venture Exchange and the Alpha Exchange. No person or company is required to obtain products or services from TMX Group or its affiliates as a condition of any such dealer supplying or continuing to supply a product or service.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or pdf), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

17. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

18. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

19. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you in care of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. Royal Bank Plaza, 000 Xxx Xxxxxx.

20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such void or unenforceable provision

shall not affect or impair the validity of any other provision of this Agreement and shall be severable from this Agreement.

21. Time of The Essence. Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

22. Language. The parties have expressly required this Agreement and all other documents required or permitted to be given or entered into pursuant hereto to be drawn up in the English language only.

In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to reserves and resources and gold equivalent ounces are forward looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates will be realized. Such forward looking statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management.

“anticipates” or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Franco-Nevada to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward looking statement, including, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the primary commodities that drive royalty and stream revenue (gold, platinum group metals, copper, nickel, uranium, silver, iron-ore and oil and gas); fluctuations in the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar, Mexican peso and any other currency in which revenue is generated, relative to the U.S. dollar; changes in national and local government legislation, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies; regulations and political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including changes in the ownership and control of such operators; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Franco-Nevada; reduced access to debt and equity capital; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; whether or not the Corporation is determined to have PFIC status; excessive cost escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates; risks and hazards associated with the business of development and mining on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters or civil unrest; and the integration of acquired assets. The forward looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the asset portfolio; the Corporation’s ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.

Franco-Nevada cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
