2.10

Deferral Right.

2.10.1 General

The Issuer may, in its sole discretion, elect to defer any payment of interest (in whole or in part) which is otherwise scheduled to be paid on an Interest Payment Date, provided that any such deferred interest will become due and payable on the date the Issuer declares any distributions on any of the Issuer’s common shares or preferred shares. If the Issuer elects not to make all or part of any payment of interest on an Interest Payment Date, then neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will have any obligation to pay such interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Deferred interest shall accrue, compounding on each subsequent Interest Payment Date, until paid. Such deferral will not constitute an Event of Default or any other breach under the Indenture or under the Notes or any Guarantee Obligations.

2.10.2 Notice of Interest Deferral.

The Issuer will notify the Holders of Notes, the Trustee and, if required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Notes are listed from time to time, such stock exchange, of any determination by the Issuer not to pay all or part of the Interest Amount which would otherwise fall due on an Interest Payment Date with respect to the Notes not more than 30 Business Days and not less than five Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date.

2.11

Form.

The Notes and the certificate of the Trustee endorsed thereon shall each be issuable initially as one or more Global Securities in minimum denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof and shall be substantially in the form set forth in Annex A hereto. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as Authenticating Agent for the Notes, and the Trustee shall authenticate the certificate of the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee or as Authenticating Agent. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as Security Registrar for the Notes. The Issuer hereby appoints The Depository Trust Company as the Depositary for Global Securities.

2.12

Event of Default.

2.12.1 General.

Solely with respect to the Notes (and not with respect to any other Securities issued or outstanding under the Original Indenture), only clause (d) of Section 6.1 of the Original Indenture shall constitute an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes.

If an Event of Default in respect of the Notes occurs, the principal amount of the Notes will automatically, and without any action by the Trustee or any holder thereof, become immediately due and payable. Other than pursuant to the redemption events discussed in Section 2.6, Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 above, the Issuer or the Partnership, as applicable, shall become obligated to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes at the time of the distribution of the assets of the Issuer or the Partnership, as applicable, arising from an Event of Default.

For the avoidance of doubt, holders of Notes will have no right of acceleration in the case of a default in the payment of any amount due on the Notes or any default in the performance of any covenant of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors in the Indenture (or any other Event of Default contemplated in the Original Indenture, other than as provided in Section 6.1(d) of the Original Indenture).

2.13

Additional Covenants.

The covenants contained in Article 3 of this Second Supplemental Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

Additionally, in the event that any Successor of the Issuer or the Partnership is formed or organized outside of Canada or Bermuda, the applicable supplemental indenture in respect of such Successor shall include a provision for (i) the payment of Additional Amounts in the form substantially similar to that described in Section 2.14, with such modifications (including to the definition of “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) as the Issuer, the Partnership and such Successor reasonably determine are customary and appropriate for U.S. bondholders to address then-applicable (or potentially applicable future) taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or other governmental charges imposed or levied by or on behalf of the applicable governmental authority in respect of payments made by such Successor under or with respect to the Notes, including any exceptions thereto as the Issuer, the Partnership and such Successor shall reasonably determine would be customary and appropriate for U.S. bondholders and (ii) the right of the Issuer to redeem the Notes at 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon in the event that Additional Amounts become payable by a Successor in respect of the Notes as a result of any change in law or official position regarding the application or interpretation of any law that is announced or becomes effective after the date of such supplemental indenture.

2.14

Payment of Additional Amounts.

All payments made by the Issuer or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (“Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of Canada or Bermuda or of any province or territory therein or thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) is required to withhold or deduct taxes by the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If the Issuer or any Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes imposed or levied by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made by it under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer or such Guarantor (as applicable) will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received (including Additional Amounts) by each Holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such Holder) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the Holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such Holder) would have received if such taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to: (a) any payment to a Holder or beneficial owner who is liable for such taxes in respect of such Note (i) by reason of such Holder or beneficial owner, or any other person entitled to payments on the Note, being a person with whom the Issuer or any Guarantor does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”)), (ii) by reason of the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company or corporation) and Canada or any province or territory thereof or therein other than the mere ownership, or receiving payments under or enforcing any rights in respect of such Note as a non-resident or deemed non-resident of Canada or any province or territory thereof or therein, or (iii) by reason of such Holder or beneficial owner being a “specified shareholder” of the Issuer or not dealing at arm’s length with a “specified shareholder” of the Issuer as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act; (b) any tax that is levied or collected other than by withholding from payments on or in respect of the Notes; (c) any Note presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of (i) the date on which such payment first becomes due or (ii) if the full amount of the monies payable has not been paid to the Holders of the Notes on or prior to such date, the date on which the full amount of such monies has been paid to the Holders of the Notes, except to the extent that the Holder of the Notes would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presentation of the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days; (d) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or personal property tax or any similar tax; (e) any tax imposed as a result of the failure of a Holder or beneficial owner to comply with certification, identification, declaration or similar reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Canada or any province or territory thereof or therein of such Holder or beneficial owner, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation, as a precondition to reduction of, or exemption, from such tax; (f) any (i) withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“FATCA”), or any successor version thereof, or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority, or (ii) tax or penalty arising from the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s failure to properly comply with the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s obligations imposed under the Canada-United States Enhanced Tax Information Exchange Agreement Implementation Act (Canada) or any treaty, law or regulation or other official guidance enacted by Canada implementing FATCA or an intergovernmental agreement with respect to FATCA or any similar legislation imposed by any other governmental authority, including, for greater certainty, Part XVIII and Part XIX of the Tax Act; or (g) any combination of the foregoing clauses (a) to (f).

The Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) will also (1) make such withholding or deduction and (2) remit the full amount deducted or withheld by it to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) will furnish to the Holders of the Notes, within 30 days after the date the payment of any taxes by it is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by it. The Issuer and the Guarantors will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such Holder) and, upon written request, will reimburse each such Holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such Holder) for the amount of (i) any taxes (other than any taxes for which Additional Amounts would not be payable pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above) levied or imposed and paid by such Holder (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such Holder) as a result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes which have not been withheld or deducted and remitted by the Issuer or any Guarantor (as applicable) in accordance with applicable law, (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and (iii) any taxes (other than any taxes for which Additional Amounts would not be payable pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above) imposed with respect to any reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii) above, but excluding any such taxes on such Holder’s (including, as applicable, the beneficial owners in respect of any such Holder’s) net income.

Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), redemption amount, purchase price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 2.14 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the payment of all amounts under or with respect to the Notes.

2.15

Defeasance.

The Notes shall be defeasible pursuant to both of Section 14.2 and Section 14.3 of the Original Indenture.

2.16

Subordination.

The Issuer covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Notes, by the acceptance thereof, covenants and agrees, that the Notes will be direct unsecured subordinated obligations of the Issuer. The obligations of the Issuer under the Notes are hereby subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Issuer Senior Indebtedness. The payment of principal, premium (if any), and interest and any Additional Amounts on the Notes shall rank senior to all obligations of the Issuer in respect of its own equity and in respect of equity (including preferred equity) that has been issued by any Guarantor or BRP (including pursuant to any guarantee by the Issuer of the existing equity obligations of any such person) but will be subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Issuer Senior Indebtedness.

The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated and joint and several basis, as to payment of principal, premium and Additional Amounts (if any) and interest and all other Obligations payable by the Issuer in respect of the Notes, by each Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture. All Guarantee Obligations are hereby subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Guarantor Senior Indebtedness. The Guarantee Obligations of each Guarantor shall rank senior to all obligations of such Guarantor in respect of its own equity and in respect of equity (including preferred equity) that has been issued by the Issuer, any other Guarantor or BRP (including pursuant to any guarantee by such Guarantor of the existing equity obligations of any such Person), but will be subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities, or other property, shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder in contravention of the subordination provisions set out in this Second Supplemental Indenture, such payment or distribution shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for applications to the payment of all Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all such Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, in full. In the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution, or any security or property related thereto, each holder of Issuer Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, is irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of April 15, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 9, 2021 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) (the Base Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture together herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Issuer, Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.

(“BRELP”), BRP Bermuda Holdings I Limited (“LATAM HoldCo”), Brookfield BRP Europe Holdings (Bermuda) Limited (“Euro HoldCo”), Brookfield Renewable Investments Limited (“InvestCo”) and BEP Subco Inc. (“Canada SubCo”, and together with BRELP, LATAM HoldCo, Euro HoldCo and InvestCo, the “Guarantors”, and all guarantees together, the “Guarantees”), each as guarantor, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (hereinafter, the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee(s) under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to US$260,000,000, all of which are issued under the Second Supplemental Indenture. The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions in all respects as the Securities issued on the date hereof, except for the issue date, the issue price and the first payment of interest thereon. Additional securities issued in this manner will be consolidated with and will form a single series with the Securities; provided that any additional securities will only be issued if they are fungible with the original Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Issuer or one or more Guarantors (as applicable) will pay to each relevant Holder or beneficial owner certain Additional Amounts in the event of the withholding or deduction of certain Bermudian or Canadian taxes as described in the Indenture.

In the event of purchase of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unpurchased portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The only Events of Default in respect of the Securities of this series are as provided for in Section 6.1(d) of the Base Indenture. If any such Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall occur, the outstanding principal amount of such Securities shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. Other than pursuant to certain redemption events specified in the Indenture, the Issuer or the Partnership, as applicable, shall become obligated to pay accrued and unpaid interest at the time of the distribution of the assets of the Issuer or the Partnership, as applicable, arising from an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) of the Base Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuer or the Guarantors with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereafter or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder hereof or attorney duly authorized in writing, and, thereupon, one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of US$25.00 and multiples of US$25.00 in excess thereof.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Partnership, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
