SCHEDULE “B”

INDEMNIFICATION

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule “B” shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement to which this Schedule is attached.

Indemnity

(a)

Indemnity

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (the “Indemnitor”) hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Underwriters listed in Schedule A hereto and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act 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 Representatives specifically for inclusion therein) contained in the Agreement, Registration Statement, Disclosure Package, Prospectus, Canadian Offering Memorandum, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Corporation Additional Written Communication, 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 which, at the time and, other than with respect to the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation or untrue statement of a material fact;

(ii)

any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package, Prospectus, Canadian Offering Memorandum, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Corporation Additional Written Communication, 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 material fact (except any fact 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 Representatives specifically for inclusion therein) 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;

B-1

(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 Registration Statement, Disclosure Package, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Corporation Additional Written Communication, Prospectus, Canadian Offering Memorandum and any Supplementary Materials, 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 (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 Notes;

(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 material representations, warranties, covenants or obligations to be complied with under the Agreement.

This indemnity shall cease to be available to an Indemnified Party (as defined below), if (i) a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment in which such Indemnified Party 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 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 Registration Statement, Disclosure Package, Prospectus, Canadian Offering Memorandum, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Corporation Additional Written Communication, any Supplementary Material, including any Documents Incorporated by Reference, or any Prospectus Amendments contained no misrepresentation shall constitute, “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 Notes to such person, and (y) if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) delivered by 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.

The Corporation hereby acknowledges that the only information furnished to the Corporation by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Corporation Additional Written Communication, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Prospectus or the Canadian Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the sixth, thirteenth and fourteenth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum.

B-2

(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 prejudiced as a proximate result of 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 Favor 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 1 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, including the potential availability of one or more legal defenses to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition those available to the other parties or the potential for a conflict to exist between the Corporation and the Indemnified Party. 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.

B-3

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 Notes; 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 respective proportions as the total proceeds (net of the underwriting discount 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 Notes, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case, as set out in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Notes on the cover 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.

B-4

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 underwriting commissions actually received by the Underwriters from the Corporation under the Agreement; provided, that no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Notes underwritten by it.

(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 Favor 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, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents and control persons (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 amounts set forth opposite their names in Schedule “A” of the Agreement and not joint.

B-5

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.

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings assigned in the Company’s Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, dated October 10, 2018.

^* Note: A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

** We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the settlement date specified in this communication, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the U.S. Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing or the next two business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisor.

Changes to Preliminary Prospectus Supplement

References to “October 15, 2023” in the sections entitled “Description of the Conversion Preferred Shares—Redemption of the Conversion Preferred Shares” and “Description of the Conversion Preferred Shares—Purchase for Cancellation” shall be changed to “October 17, 2023”.
