Schedule A

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (the “Corporation”)

Number and Designation of and Rights, Privileges, Restrictions and Conditions

Attaching to the Cumulative Class A Preference Shares, Series 50

The fiftieth series of Class A Preference Shares of the Corporation shall consist of an unlimited number of Class A Preference Shares designated as Cumulative Class A Preference Shares, Series 50 (the “Series 50 Preference Shares”) and, in addition to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Class A Preference Shares as a class, shall have attached thereto the following rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions (the “Series 50 Preference Share Provisions”):

1. Issue Price

The issue price of each Series 50 Preference Share shall be $25.00 principal amount of 2080 Subordinated Notes or $25.00 of accrued and unpaid interest on the 2080 Subordinated Notes, if any.

2. Dividends

2.1          Cumulative Preferential Dividends

The holders of the then outstanding Series 50 Preference Shares (the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay thereon, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of moneys of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends (the “Series 50 Dividends”) payable quarterly, on January 16, April 16, July 16 and October 16 of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”) at the Perpetual Preferred Share Rate, by electronic funds transfer or cheque at par in lawful money of Canada at any branch in Canada of the Corporation’s bankers for the time being or by any other reasonable means the Corporation deems desirable.

(a) If on any Dividend Payment Date, the Series 50 Dividends accrued to such date are not paid in full on all of the Series 50 Preference Shares then outstanding, such Series 50 Dividends, or the unpaid part thereof, shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient monies properly applicable to the payment of such Series 50 Dividends.

(b) The Holders shall not be entitled to any dividends other than or in excess of the Series 50 Dividends.

Series 50 Dividends shall (except in case of redemption in which case payment of Series 50 Dividends shall, subject to the provisions of Section 13, be made on surrender of the certificate representing the Series 50 Preference Shares to be redeemed) be paid by electronic funds transfer or by posting in a postage paid envelope addressed to each Holder at the last address of such Holder as it appears on the securities register of the Corporation or, in the case of joint Holders, to the address of that one whose name appears first in the securities register of the Corporation as one of such joint Holders, or, in the event of the address of any Holder not so appearing, then to the address of such Holder last known to the Corporation, a cheque for such Series 50 Dividends (less any tax required to be deducted) payable to the order of such Holder or, in the case of joint Holders, to the order of all such Holders failing written instructions from them to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any dividend cheque may be delivered by the Corporation to a Holder at his address as aforesaid. Such electronic funds transfer or the posting or delivery of such cheque on or before the date on which such dividend is to be paid to a Holder shall be deemed to be payment and shall satisfy and discharge all liabilities for the payment of such dividends to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax required to be deducted as aforesaid) unless such cheque is not paid on due presentation. Subject to applicable law, dividends which are represented by a cheque which has not been presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remain unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which they were declared to be payable shall be forfeited to the Corporation.

2.2          Dividend for Other than a Full Dividend Period

The Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay thereon, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of moneys of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, Series 50 Dividends for any period as follows:

(a) from and including the Issue Date, if such date is not a Dividend Payment Date, up to and including the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date; or

(b) any period which is less than a full Dividend Period,

a dividend in an amount per Series 50 Preference Share equal to the amount obtained (rounded to four decimal places) when the product of the Perpetual Preferred Share Rate and $25.00 is multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days elapsed (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) in the relevant period and the denominator of which is 360.

3. Rights on Liquidation

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, the Holders shall be entitled to receive $25.00 per Series 50 Preference Share, together with all accrued and unpaid Series 50 Dividends up to but excluding the date of payment or distribution (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld by the Corporation), before any amounts shall be paid or any assets of the Corporation distributed to the holders of any shares ranking junior as to capital to the Series 50 Preference Shares. Upon payment of such amounts, the Holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

4. Redemption at the Option of the Corporation

The Corporation may not redeem any of the Series 50 Preference Shares prior to October 16, 2025. On or after October 16, 2025, the Corporation may, subject to applicable law and to the provisions described under Section 5 below, upon giving notice as hereinafter provided, at its option, without the consent of the Holders, at any time, redeem all, or from time to time, any part, of the then outstanding Series 50 Preference Shares by the payment of an amount in cash for each Series 50 Preference Share so redeemed equal to $25.00 per Series 50 Preference Share, together with all accrued and unpaid Series 50 Dividends up to but excluding the date fixed for redemption (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld by the Corporation) (the “Redemption Price”).

If less than all of the then outstanding Series 50 Preference Shares are at any time to be redeemed, then the particular Series 50 Preference Shares to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis disregarding fractions or in such manner as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may, by resolution, determine. The Series 50 Preference Shares do not have a fixed maturity date and are not redeemable at the option of the Holders.

The Corporation shall give notice in writing not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date on which the redemption is to take place of its intention to redeem such Series 50 Preference Shares to each person who at the date of giving such notice is the Holder of Series 50 Preference Shares to be redeemed. Any such notice shall be validly and effectively given on the date on which it is sent and such notice shall be given and sent by posting the same in a postage paid envelope addressed to each Holder of Series 50 Preference Shares to be redeemed at the last address of such Holder as it appears on the securities register of the Corporation, or in the case of joint Holders, to the address of that one whose name appears first in the securities register of the Corporation as one of such joint Holders or, in the event of the address of any Holder not so appearing, then to the address of such Holder last known to the Corporation, provided that the accidental failure or omission to give any such notices as aforesaid to one or more of such Holders shall not affect the validity of the redemption as to the other Holders to be redeemed. Such notice shall set out the number of such Series 50 Preference Shares held by the person to whom it is addressed which are to be redeemed and the Redemption Price and shall also set out the date on which the redemption is to take place. On and after the date so specified for redemption, the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to the Holders to be redeemed the Redemption Price on presentation and surrender, at any place within Canada designated by such notice, of the certificate or certificates for such Series 50 Preference Shares so called for redemption, subject to the provisions of Section 13. Such payment shall be made by electronic funds transfer or cheque payable at par at any branch in Canada of the Corporation’s bankers for the time being or by any other reasonable means the Corporation deems desirable and shall be a full and complete discharge of the Corporation’s obligation to pay the Redemption Price owed to the Holders of Series 50 Preference Shares so called for redemption unless the cheque is not honoured when presented for payment. From and after the date specified in any such notice, the Series 50 Preference Shares called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to Series 50 Dividends and the Holders thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof, except to receive the Redemption Price therefor, provided that if payment of the Redemption Price shall not be duly made by the Corporation on or before the redemption date, the Corporation shall forthwith thereafter return the Holder’s deposited share certificate or certificates to the Holder. At any time after notice of redemption is given as aforesaid, the Corporation shall have the right to deposit the Redemption Price of any or all Series 50 Preference Shares called for redemption (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld by the Corporation), or such part thereof as at the time of deposit has not been claimed by the Holders entitled thereto, with any chartered bank or banks or with any trust company or trust companies in Canada named in the notice of redemption to the credit of a special account or accounts in trust for the respective Holders of such shares, to be paid to them respectively upon surrender to such bank or banks or trust company or trust companies of the certificate or certificates representing the same, subject to the provisions of Section 13. Upon such deposit or deposits being made, such shares shall be deemed to be redeemed on the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption. After the Corporation has made a deposit as aforesaid with respect to any shares, the Holders thereof shall not, from and after the redemption date, be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof and the rights of the Holders thereof shall be limited to receiving a proportion of the amounts so deposited applicable to such shares, without interest. Any interest allowed on such deposit shall belong to the Corporation. Subject to applicable law, redemption monies that are represented by a cheque which has not been presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remain unclaimed (including monies held in deposit as provided for above) for a period of two years from the date specified for redemption shall be forfeited to the Corporation.

5. Restrictions on Dividends and Retirement and Issue of Shares

So long as any of the Series 50 Preference Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the approval of the Holders:

(a) declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividends (other than stock dividends payable in shares of the Corporation ranking as to capital and dividends junior to the Series 50 Preference Shares) on shares of the Corporation ranking as to dividends junior to the Series 50 Preference Shares;

(b) except out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue of shares of the Corporation ranking as to return of capital and dividends junior to the Series 50 Preference Shares, redeem or call for redemption, purchase or otherwise pay off, retire or make any return of capital in respect of any shares of the Corporation ranking as to capital junior to the Series 50 Preference Shares;

(c) redeem or call for redemption, purchase, or otherwise pay off or retire for value or make any return of capital in respect of less than all of the Series 50 Preference Shares then outstanding; or

(d) except pursuant to any purchase obligation, sinking fund, retraction privilege or mandatory redemption provisions attaching thereto, redeem or call for redemption, purchase or otherwise pay off, retire or make any return of capital in respect of any Class A Preference Shares, ranking as to the payment of dividends or return of capital on a parity with the Series 50 Preference Shares;

unless, in each such case, all accrued and unpaid Series 50 Dividends up to and including the Series 50 Dividend payable for the last completed Dividend Period, and all accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the dividend payable for the last completed period for which dividends were payable on all other shares of the Corporation ranking prior to or on a parity with the Series 50 Preference Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, have been declared and paid or set apart for payment.

6. Purchase for Cancellation

Subject to applicable law and to the provisions described in Section 5, the Corporation may at any time purchase for cancellation the whole or any part of the Series 50 Preference Shares outstanding from time to time, in the open market through or from an investment dealer or any firm holding membership on a recognized stock exchange, or by private agreement or otherwise, at the lowest price or prices at which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, such shares are obtainable.

7. Voting Rights

The Holders will not (except as otherwise provided by law and except for meetings of the Holders of Class A Preference Shares as a class and meetings of the Holders as a series) be entitled to receive notice of, attend, or vote at any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation unless and until the Corporation shall have failed to pay eight quarterly Series 50 Dividends, whether or not consecutive and whether or not such dividends have been declared and whether or not there are any monies of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends. In the event of such non-payment, and for only so long as any such dividends remain in arrears, the Holders will be entitled to receive notice of and to attend each meeting of shareholders of the Corporation (other than any meetings at which only holders of another specified class or series are entitled to vote) and such Holders shall have the right, at any such meeting, to one vote for each Series 50 Preference Share held, provided that in respect of the election of directors, Holders will vote with holders of Class A Limited Voting Shares and, in certain circumstances, with the holders of certain other series of the Class A Preference Shares only in the election of one-half of the Board of Directors (less the number of directors which the holders of the Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 may be entitled to elect if dividends on such shares are in arrears). No other voting rights shall attach to the Series 50 Preference Shares in any circumstances. Upon payment of the entire amount of all Series 50 Dividends in arrears, the voting rights of the Holders shall forthwith cease (unless and until the same default shall again arise under the provisions of this Section 7).

8. Modifications

The provisions attaching to the Series 50 Preference Shares as a series may be repealed, altered, modified or amended from time to time with such approval as may then be required by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), any such approval to be given in accordance with Section 9.

If at any such meeting the Holder(s) of at least 25% of the then outstanding Series 50 Preference Shares are not present or represented by proxy within one-half hour after the time appointed for such meeting, then the meeting shall be adjourned to such date not less than 5 days thereafter and to such time and place as may be designated by the chairman of such meeting, and no notice need be given of such adjourned meeting. At such adjourned meeting, the Holders(s) of Series 50 Preference Shares represented in person or by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called and the Holders of Series 50 Preference Shares then represented in person or by proxy shall form the necessary quorum. At any meeting of Holders of Series 50 Preference Shares as a series, each such Holder shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Series 50 Preference Share held.

In the event that the Corporation is required to mail such cheque or share certificate, such mailing shall be made by prepaid mail to the registered address of each person who at the date of mailing is a registered Holder and who is entitled to receive such cheque or share certificate.

(b) Any notice, cheque, invitation for tenders or other communication from the Corporation herein provided for shall be sufficiently given if delivered or if sent by first class unregistered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders at their respective addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation or, in the event of the address of any of such Holders not so appearing, then at the last address of such Holder known to the Corporation. Accidental failure to give such notice, invitation for tenders or other communication to one or more Holders shall not affect the validity of the notices, invitations for tenders or other communications properly given or any action taken pursuant to such notice, invitation for tender or other communication but, upon such failure being discovered, the notice, invitation for tenders or other communication, as the case may be, shall be sent forthwith to such Holder or Holders.

(c) If any notice, cheque, invitation for tenders or other communication from the Corporation given to a Holder of Series 50 Preference Shares pursuant to paragraph (b) is returned on three consecutive occasions because the Holder cannot be found, the Corporation shall not be required to give or mail any further notices, cheques, invitations for tenders or other communications to such shareholder until the Holder informs the Corporation in writing of such Holder’s new address.
