We are offering to exchange new US$500,000,000 2.150% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “New 2019 Notes”), US$750,000,000 2.700% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “New 2021 Notes”), US$750,000,000 3.550% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “New 2026 Notes”) and US$1,250,000,000 4.750% Senior Notes due 2046 (the “New 2046 Notes,” and together with the New 2019 Notes, the New 2021 Notes and the New 2026 Notes, collectively, the “new notes”), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for our currently outstanding US$500,000,000 2.150% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Old 2019 Notes”), US$750,000,000 2.700% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Old 2021 Notes”), US$750,000,000 3.550% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Old 2026 Notes”) and US$1,250,000,000 4.750% Senior Notes due 2046 (the “Old 2046 Notes,” together with the Old 2019 Notes, the Old 2021 Notes and the Old 2026 Notes, collectively, the “old notes”). We refer to the old notes and the new notes together as the “notes.” The terms of the new notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the old notes, except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act, and the transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the old notes do not apply to the new notes. The old notes are, and the new notes will be, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Emera Incorporated and Emera US Holdings Inc. (each a “Guarantor” and together the “Guarantors”), on a joint and several basis, subject to customary release provisions as set forth in the indenture.

The Exchange Offer

• We will exchange all old notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn for an equal principal amount of new notes that are freely tradable in the United States.

• You may withdraw tenders of old notes at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.

• The exchange offer expires at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2016, unless extended. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date.

• The exchange of old notes for new notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

• We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.

The New Notes

• The new notes are being offered in order to satisfy certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the placement of the old notes.

• The terms of the new notes to be issued in the exchange offer are substantially identical to the old notes, except that the new notes will be freely tradable in the United States.

• The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis (the “guarantee”), by Emera Incorporated, a Nova Scotia company (“Emera”), and Emera US Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EUSHI,” and together with Emera, the “Guarantors”). See “Description of the Notes—Guarantees.” EUSHI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emera. Emera owns, directly or indirectly, all of the limited and general partnership interests of Emera US Finance LP.

Resales of New Notes

• The new notes may be sold in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or through a combination of such methods. We do not plan to list the new notes on a national market.

• You are required to make the representations described on page 22 to us.

All untendered old notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the old notes and in the indenture governing the notes. In general, the old notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not currently anticipate that we will register the old notes under the Securities Act.

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 for a discussion of risk factors that should be considered by you prior to tendering your old notes in the exchange offer.

The notes have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any state securities commission nor has the SEC or any state securities commission passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Emera is permitted, under the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States (“U.S.”), to prepare this prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. You should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the U.S.

Financial statements incorporated herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Owning the notes may subject you to tax consequences both in the United States and Canada. You should read the tax discussion in this prospectus. This prospectus may not describe these tax consequences fully.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Emera is organized under the laws of Nova Scotia, that some or all of the officers and directors of Emera may be residents of Canada, that some or all of the experts named herein may be residents of Canada and that all or a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of said persons are located outside of the U.S.

Prospective investors should be aware that, during the period of the exchange offer, the registrants or their respective affiliates, directly or indirectly, may bid for or make purchases of the debt securities to be distributed or to be exchanged, or certain related debt securities, as permitted by applicable laws or regulations of Canada, or its provinces or territories.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of six months after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The date of this prospectus is                     , 2016

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

On June 9, 2016, we privately placed US$3,250,000,000, aggregate principal amount of the old notes in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In connection with the private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of June 16, 2016, with the initial purchasers of the old notes. In the registration rights agreement, we agreed to offer to exchange old notes for new notes registered under the Securities Act. We also agreed to deliver this prospectus to the holders of the old notes. In this prospectus the old notes and the new notes are referred to together as the “notes.” You should read the discussion under the heading “Description of the Notes” for information regarding the notes.

The Issuer and the guarantors of the old notes (the “guarantors”) entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers in the private offering in which the Issuer and the guarantors agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a registered offer to exchange the old notes for the new notes, use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the exchange offer within 365 days after the issue date of the Notes, and keep the exchange offer open for not less than 20 business days after the date notice of the exchange offer is mailed to the holders of the Notes. You are entitled to exchange in the exchange offer your old notes for new notes which are identical in all material respects to the old notes except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act and will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions in the United States, and are not entitled to registration rights and additional interest provisions applicable to the old notes.

The Exchange Offer We are offering up to US$3.25 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes, consisting of: US$500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.150% Senior Notes due June 15, 2019, US$750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.700% Senior Notes due June 15, 2021, US$750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.550% Senior Notes due June 15, 2026, and US$1,250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due June 15, 2046, which will be registered under the Securities Act. Old notes may be exchanged only in denominations of US$2,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess of US$2,000.

Resale The Issuer has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person who will receive new notes in the exchange offer to distribute those securities following completion of the exchange offer. The Issuer is not aware of any person that will participate in the exchange offer with a view to distribute the new notes.

Based on an interpretation by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for the old notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you (unless you are our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in the United States without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

• you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business; and

2

• you have not engaged in, do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the new notes.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal also includes an acknowledgment that each person participating in the exchange offer does not intend to engage in a distribution of the new notes. In addition, the letter of transmittal includes an acknowledgment for each person that is a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities that such broker-dealer will satisfy any prospectus delivery requirements in connection with any resale of new notes received pursuant to the exchange offer. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by such broker-dealers for such prospectus delivery requirements. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the expiration date (as defined herein), it will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Any holder of old notes who:

• is our affiliate;

• does not acquire new notes in the ordinary course of its business; or

• tenders its old notes in the exchange offer with the intention to participate, or for the purpose of participating, in a distribution of new notes;

cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC enunciated in Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993), or similar no-action letters and, in the absence of an exemption therefrom, must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new notes in the United States.

Expiration Date, Withdrawal of Tender The exchange offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on                     , 2016, unless extended by us. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date. You may withdraw the tender of your old notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange

3

offer. We will return to you any of your old notes that are not accepted for any reason for exchange, without expense to you, promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Interest on the New Notes The new 2019 notes will accrue interest at the rate of 2.150% per annum. The new 2021 notes will accrue interest at the rate of 2.700% per annum. The new 2026 notes will accrue interest at the rate of 3.550% per annum. The new 2046 notes will accrue interest at the rate of 4.750% per annum. On the first interest payment date following the exchange, holders of new notes will receive interest for the period from and including the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the old notes. No additional or other interest relating to such period will be paid to such holders.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, which we may waive. See “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” of this prospectus for more information.

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes If you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date the accompanying letter of transmittal according to the instructions contained in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal. You must then mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal together with your old notes and any other required documents, to the exchange agent at the address set forth on the cover page of the letter of transmittal.

If you hold old notes through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must comply with the Automated Tender Offer Program procedures of DTC by which you will agree to be bound by the letter of transmittal. By signing, or agreeing to be bound by, the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:

• you are not our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

• you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the new notes;

• you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business; and

• if you are a broker-dealer that will receive new notes for your own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities, you will deliver a prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale of such new notes in the United States.

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners If you are a beneficial owner of old notes which are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other

4

nominee, and you wish to tender such old notes in the exchange offer, you should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such registered holder to tender on your behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your old notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be able to be completed prior to the expiration date.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures If you wish to tender your old notes and your old notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your old notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents, or you cannot comply with the procedures under DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program for transfer of book-entry interests prior to the expiration date, you must tender your old notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in this prospectus under “The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”

Effect on Holders of Old Notes As a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange of all validly tendered old notes pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer, we and the guarantors will have fulfilled a covenant contained in the registration rights agreement and, accordingly, there will be no increase in the interest rate on the old notes under the circumstances described in the registration rights agreement. If you are a holder of old notes and you do not tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to hold such old notes and you will be entitled to all the rights and limitations applicable to the old notes as set forth in the indenture governing the notes, except we and the guarantors will not have any further obligations to you to provide for the exchange and registration of untendered old notes under the registration rights agreement. To the extent that old notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market, if any, for old notes that are not so tendered and accepted could be adversely affected.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange All untendered old notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided for in the old notes and in the indenture governing the notes. In general, the old notes may not be offered or sold in the United States, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we and the guarantors do not currently anticipate that we will register the old notes under the Securities Act.

Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations The exchange of old notes for new notes in the exchange offer will not constitute a taxable event for United States federal income tax

5

purposes and no Canadian federal income tax will be payable in respect of the exchange by a Non-Canadian Holder (as defined under the heading “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations”). See “Material United States Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer” and “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Accounting Treatment We will record the new notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the old notes, which is the aggregate principal amount as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the consummation of the exchange offer. We will record the expenses of the exchange offer as incurred.

Regulatory Approvals Other than compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws and qualification of the indenture governing the notes under the Trust Indenture Act, there are no federal or state regulatory requirements that must be complied with or approvals that must be obtained in connection with the exchange offer.

Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the new notes in the exchange offer.

Exchange Agent D.F. King & Co., Inc. is the exchange agent for the exchange offer. The contact information for the exchange agent is set forth in the section captioned “The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent” of this prospectus.

Risk Factors An investment in the notes involves certain risks which should be carefully considered by prospective investors, including risks in respect of the Acquisition, the notes and the post-Acquisition business and operations of Emera and TECO Energy. See “Risk Factors.”

9

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein before you decide to tender old notes in the exchange offer, including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed under (i) the heading “Risk Factors” in the AIF of Emera dated March 30, 2016 for the year ended December 31, 2015 (filed on EDGAR as Exhibit 4.1 to Emera’s Form F-10/A filed June 8, 2014 and incorporated by reference herein); (ii) the heading “Principal Risks and Uncertainties” in note 32 to Emera’s audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 filed on Exhibit 4.2 to Emera’s Form F-10/A filed June 8, 2016; (iii) the heading “Principal Risks and Uncertainties” in note 26 to Emera’s unaudited interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended September 30, 2016 filed on Exhibit 99.2 to Emera’s Form 6-K filed November 9, 2016; and (iv) “Risk Factors Relating to the Post-Acquisition Business and Opportunities of the Company and TECO Energy” in the Business Acquisition Report of Emera dated August 5, 2016 in respect of the TECO Acquisition filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Emera’s Form 6-K filed August 17, 2016. The risks described below are not the only risks that may affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, you may lose all or a part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

If you choose not to exchange your old notes in the exchange offer, the transfer restrictions currently applicable to your old notes will remain in force and the market price of your old notes could decline.

If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes in the exchange offer, then you will continue to be subject to the transfer restrictions on the old notes as set forth in the prospectus distributed in connection with the private offering of the old notes. In general, the old notes may not be offered or sold unless they are registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the private offering of the old notes, we do not intend to register resales of the old notes under the Securities Act. The tender of old notes under the exchange offer will reduce the principal amount of the old notes outstanding, which may have an adverse effect upon, and increase the volatility of, the market price of the old notes due to a reduction in liquidity. Holders who do not tender their old notes will not have any further registration rights or any right to receive additional interest under the registration rights agreement or otherwise.

You must follow the exchange offer procedures carefully in order to receive the new notes.

If you do not follow the procedures described in this prospectus, you will not receive any new notes. If you want to tender your old notes in exchange for new notes, you will need to contact a DTC participant to complete the book-entry transfer procedures, or otherwise complete and transmit a letter of transmittal, in each case described under “The Exchange Offer,” prior to the expiration date, and you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely completion of these procedures to ensure delivery. No one is under any obligation to give you notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes for exchange. For additional information, see the section captioned “The Exchange Offer” in this prospectus.

You may not be able to sell your old notes if you do not exchange them for new notes in the exchange offer.

If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes in the exchange offer, your old notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer as stated in the legend on the old notes. In general, you may not reoffer, resell or otherwise transfer the old notes in the United States unless they are:

• registered under the Securities Act;

• offered or sold under an exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; or

10

• offered or sold in a transaction not subject to the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

We do not currently anticipate that we will register the old notes under the Securities Act.

The market for old notes may be significantly more limited after the exchange offer and you may not be able to sell your old notes after the exchange offer.

If old notes are tendered and accepted for exchange under the exchange offer, the trading market for old notes that remain outstanding may be significantly more limited. As a result, the liquidity of the old notes not tendered for exchange could be adversely affected. The extent of the market for old notes and the availability of price quotations would depend upon a number of factors, including the number of holders of old notes remaining outstanding and the interest of securities firms in maintaining a market in the old notes. An issue of securities with a similar outstanding market value available for trading, which is called the “float,” may command a lower price than would be comparable to an issue of securities with a greater float. As a result, the market price for old notes that are not exchanged in the exchange offer may be affected adversely as old notes exchanged in the exchange offer reduce the float. The reduced float also may make the trading price of the old notes that are not exchanged more volatile.

Your old notes will not be accepted for exchange if you fail to follow the exchange offer procedures and, as a result, your old notes will continue to be subject to existing transfer restrictions and you may not be able to sell your old notes.

We will not accept your old notes for exchange if you do not follow the exchange offer procedures. We will issue new notes as part of the exchange offer only after timely receipt of your old notes, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents. Therefore, if you want to tender your old notes, please allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. If we do not receive your old notes, letter of transmittal and other required documents by the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will not accept your old notes for exchange. We are under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of old notes for exchange. If there are defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of old notes, we will not accept your old notes for exchange.

There is no established trading market for the new notes.

The new notes will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. A trading market for the new notes may not develop. If a market does develop, it may not provide you the ability to sell your new notes. Further, you may not be able to sell your new notes at a favorable price or at all. If a market does develop, the new notes could trade at prices that may be higher or lower than their principal amount or purchase price, depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes and our financial performance.

Some persons who participate in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the new notes.

Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC contained in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC No-Action Letter available May 13, 1988, Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated, SEC No-Action Letter available June 5, 1991 and Shearman & Sterling, SEC No-Action Letter available July 2, 1993, we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the new notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under “Plan of Distribution,” you will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer your new notes. In these cases, if you transfer any new note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your new notes under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under this Act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability.

Risks Related to the Notes

Emera has a substantial amount of indebtedness which may adversely affect its cash flow and ability to operate its business.

Emera has incurred a significant amount of debt, including US$4.1 billion of debt of TECO Energy assumed by Emera as a result of the Acquisition. As of September 30, 2016, Emera has approximately Cdn$15.4 billion of total indebtedness outstanding.

Although the notes are designated as “Senior,” your right to receive payment on the notes and the guarantees will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to any future secured debt of the Issuer and the Guarantors, to the extent of the value of the collateral therefor. Additionally, your rights will be structurally subordinated to future indebtedness and other liabilities of Emera’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The notes will be general senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and therefore will be effectively subordinated to the Issuer’s future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral therefor. The guarantees will be general senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor and therefore will be effectively subordinated to future secured indebtedness of the Guarantors, to the extent of the collateral therefor. Subject to the limitation on liens covenant described under “Description of the Notes—Covenants—Limitation on Liens,” in the future, the Issuer and the Guarantors could incur a certain amount of indebtedness that is secured by their respective assets. If the Issuer defaults on the notes or certain other indebtedness, or becomes bankrupt, liquidates or reorganizes, any secured creditors could use the value of the collateral securing that debt to satisfy their secured indebtedness before you would receive any payment on the notes. If the value of such collateral is not sufficient to pay any secured indebtedness in full, the Issuer’s secured creditors would share the value of the Issuer’s other assets, if any, with you and the holders of other claims against us which rank equally with the notes. The guarantees of the notes will have a similar ranking with respect to any future secured indebtedness of the Guarantors as the notes will have with respect to any of the Issuer’s future secured indebtedness. See “Description of the Notes.”

The notes will also be structurally subordinated to any indebtedness and other liabilities of Emera’s subsidiaries (other than EUSHI and the Issuer).

As of September 30, 2016, the Issuer and the Guarantors had Cdn$4.2 billion of indebtedness, none of which was secured and Emera’s subsidiaries (other than EUSHI and the Issuer, but including TECO Energy and its subsidiaries) had Cdn$11.2 billion in indebtedness.

The Issuer or the Guarantors could enter into various transactions that could increase the amount of its outstanding indebtedness, or adversely affect their capital structure or credit ratings, or otherwise adversely affect holders of the notes.

The terms of the notes will not prevent the Issuer or the Guarantors from entering into a variety of acquisition, refinancing, recapitalization or other highly-leveraged transactions. As a result, the Issuer or the Guarantors may enter into a transaction even though the transaction could increase the total amount of their outstanding indebtedness, adversely affect their capital structure or credit ratings or otherwise adversely affect the holders of the notes.

12

Each Guarantor’s guarantee of the notes could be voided or subordinated by federal bankruptcy law or comparable state law provisions.

The Issuer’s obligations under the notes will be guaranteed by the Guarantors. Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, each Guarantor’s guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of such guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of such Guarantor if, among other things, such Guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee; and

• was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

• was engaged in a business or transactions for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

• intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

In addition, any payment by a Guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the Guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the Guarantor.

The measure of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

• the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;

• the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

• it could not pay its debts as they become due.

We cannot be sure as to the standards that a court would use to determine whether or not each Guarantor was solvent at the relevant time, or, regardless of the standard that the court uses, that the issuance of each guarantee of the notes would not be voided or each guarantee of the notes would not be subordinated to each Guarantor’s other debt.

If a guarantee were legally challenged, such guarantee could also be subject to the claim that, since the guarantee was incurred for the Issuer’s benefit, and only indirectly for the benefit of the Guarantor, the obligations of the Guarantor were incurred for less than fair consideration.

A court could thus void the obligations under each guarantee or subordinate each guarantee to each Guarantor’s other debt or take other action detrimental to holders of the notes.

Canadian bankruptcy and insolvency laws may impair the trustee’s ability to enforce remedies under the notes.

Emera is organized under the laws of Canada and a portion of its assets are located in Canada. The rights of the trustee to enforce remedies under the Indenture could be delayed by the restructuring provisions of applicable Canadian federal bankruptcy, insolvency and other restructuring legislation if the benefit of such legislation is sought with respect to Emera. For example, both the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) and the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) contain provisions enabling an insolvent person to obtain a stay of proceedings against its creditors and to file a proposal or plan of compromise or arrangement to be voted on by the various classes of its affected creditors. A restructuring proposal, compromise or arrangement if

13

accepted by the requisite majorities of each affected class of creditors, and if approved by the relevant Canadian court, would be binding on all creditors within each affected class, including those creditors that did not vote to accept the proposal, compromise or arrangement. Moreover, this legislation, in certain instances, permits the insolvent debtor to retain possession and administration of its property, subject to court oversight, even though it may be in default under the applicable debt instrument, during the period that the stay against proceedings remains in place.

Investors in the notes located outside of Canada may have difficulties enforcing civil liabilities.

Emera is incorporated under the laws of Canada. Moreover, substantially all of our directors, controlling persons and officers, as well as certain of the experts named in this offering memorandum, are residents of Canada or other jurisdictions outside of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets and a substantial portion of our assets are located outside of the United States. We will agree, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, to accept service of process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to the Indenture or the notes brought in any federal or state court located in New York City by an agent designated for such purpose, and to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts in connection with such suits, actions or proceedings. Nevertheless, it may be difficult for holders of the notes to effect service of process within the United States upon directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability under U.S. federal or state securities laws or other laws of the United States. In addition, there is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada against Emera or against Emera’s directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of courts of the United States, of liabilities predicated solely upon U.S. federal or state securities laws.

The Issuer’s cash flow is dependent on the operating cash flows of Emera and its other subsidiaries and their ability to pay cash to the Issuer.

The Issuer’s cash flow is dependent on the operating cash flows of Emera and its subsidiaries and their ability to pay cash to the Issuer. As a result, distributions or advances from Emera and its subsidiaries are the principal source of funds necessary to meet the debt service obligations of the Issuer. Contractual provisions or laws, as well as Emera’s and its subsidiaries’ financial condition and operating requirements, may limit the ability of the Issuer to obtain cash from Emera and its subsidiaries that it requires to pay its debt service obligations, and may also limit the ability of the Guarantors to meet their obligations under their respective guarantees, including any payments required to be made under the notes. In addition, certain of Emera’s businesses are regulated by entities that possess broad oversight powers to ensure that the needs of utility customers are being met. While Emera is not currently aware of any plans to do so, such regulators could attempt to impose restrictions on the ability of Emera or its subsidiaries to pay cash to the Issuer pursuant to these broad powers. Other than EUSHI and the Issuer, the subsidiaries of Emera are legally distinct and have no obligations to pay amounts due on the indebtedness of the Issuer or the Guarantors, or to make funds available for such payment. In addition, nonguarantor subsidiaries of Emera will be permitted under the terms of the Indenture to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to the Issuer and the Guarantors. The agreements governing current and future indebtedness of Emera’s subsidiaries may not permit such subsidiaries to provide Emera with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans to fund payments on the notes when due.

The Guarantors are holding companies.

The Guarantors are holding companies and depend on dividends and other distributions from their subsidiaries. Each of Emera and EUSHI conducts substantially all its operations through subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries generate substantially all of its operating income and cash flow. As a result, distributions or advances from those subsidiaries are the principal source of funds necessary to meet the debt service obligations of the Guarantors. Contractual provisions or laws, as well as the subsidiaries’ financial condition and operating requirements, may

14

limit the ability of the Guarantors to obtain cash from their subsidiaries that they require to pay their debt service obligations, including any payments required to be made under the notes.

An increase in interest rates could result in a decrease in the relative value of the notes.

In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in value because the premium, if any, over market interest rates will decline. Consequently, if you purchase notes and market interest rates increase, the market value of your notes may decline. We cannot predict future levels of market interest rates.

The trading prices for the notes will be directly affected by many factors, including our credit rating.

Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for companies they follow or discontinue rating companies, which could include us. Any ratings downgrade or decisions by a credit rating agency to discontinue rating us could adversely affect the trading price of the notes, or the trading market for the notes, to the extent a trading market for the notes develops. The condition of the financial and credit markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future and any fluctuation may impact the trading price of the notes.

We expect the notes to be rated by “nationally recognized statistical rating organizations” within the meaning of the Exchange Act. The notes may in the future be rated by additional rating agencies. We cannot assure you that any rating so assigned will remain for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in that rating agency’s judgment, circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes to our business, so warrant. Any lowering or withdrawal of a rating by a rating agency could reduce the liquidity or market value of the notes.

Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of a trading market for the notes.

There is no established trading market for the notes of any series, and we have no plans to list the notes or, if issued, the Exchange Notes, on a securities exchange. We have been advised by each Initial Purchaser that it presently intends to make a market in the notes of each series and, if issued, the Exchange Notes; however, no Initial Purchaser is obligated to do so. Any market making activity, if initiated, may be discontinued at any time, for any reason, without notice. If the Initial Purchasers cease to act as market makers for the notes or the Exchange Notes of any series for any reason, we cannot assure you that another firm or person will make a market in such notes or Exchange Notes. The liquidity of any market for the notes or the Exchange Notes of any series will depend upon the number of holders of such notes or Exchange Notes, our results of operations and financial condition, the market for similar securities, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes or the Exchange Notes and other factors. An active or liquid trading market may not develop for the notes or the Exchange Notes of any series.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On November 28, 2016 Emera announced that it had entered into an agreement with a syndicate led by TD Securities Inc., CIBC Capital Markets, RBC Capital Markets and Scotiabank, under which they have agreed to purchase from Emera and sell to the public 6,630,000 Common Shares of Emera. The underwriters will also have the option to purchase up to an additional 994,500 Common Shares to cover overallotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes, during the 30 days following the closing of the offering. The purchase price of Cdn$45.25 per Common Share will result in gross proceeds to Emera of Cdn$300,007,500 (Cdn$345,008,625 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full). The net proceeds of the offering will be used for general corporate purposes. The offering is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the new notes pursuant to the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the new notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange a like principal amount of old notes, the terms of which are identical in all material respects to the new notes, except that the new notes are registered under the Securities Act, are not entitled to the registration rights which are applicable to the old notes, and are not subject to certain special mandatory redemption provisions applicable to the old notes. The old notes surrendered in exchange for the new notes will be retired and canceled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, issuance of the new notes will not result in any material change in our capitalization.

18

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There have been no material changes in the share and local capital of Emera, on a consolidated basis, since September 30, 2016, and the issuance of the new notes will not result in any material changes in our capitalization. See “Use of Proceeds.”

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

We and the guarantors have entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the old notes in which we and the guarantors agreed, under some circumstances, to file a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange the old notes for new notes and to use our reasonable best efforts to consummate the exchange offer within 365 days after the issue date of the old notes and to keep the exchange offer open for at least 20 business days (or longer, if required by the federal securities laws). The new notes will have terms substantially identical to the old notes, except that the new notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions in the United States, registration rights and additional interest for failure to observe certain obligations in the registration rights agreement. The old notes were issued on June 16, 2016.

Under the circumstances set below, we will use our reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare effective a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of the old notes within the time periods specified in the registration rights agreement and to keep such shelf registration statement continuously effective until the earlier of (A) the time when all such old notes covered by the shelf registration statement can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitations by non-affiliates of ours under clause (d) of Rule 144, (B) the date on which all such old notes are disposed of in accordance with the shelf registration statement, (C) one year after the effective date of the shelf registration statement, or (D) the old notes cease to be registrable securities. These circumstances include:

(1) effecting this exchange offer would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC; or

(2) for any other reason we do not consummate the exchange offer within 365 days of the issue date of the old notes; or

(3) any initial purchaser of the old notes shall notify us following consummation of the exchange offer that notes held by it are not eligible to be exchanged for new notes in the exchange offer.

Under the registration rights agreement, in the event that (i) the exchange offer registration has not been consummated or, if required in lieu thereof, such shelf registration statement has not become effective or been declared effective by the SEC within the time periods described above, or (iii) if any exchange offer registration statement or shelf registration statement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or usable (except as specifically permitted in the registration rights agreement) (each such event referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Registration Default” and each period during which Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, a “Registration Default Period”), then, additional interest shall accrue in a rate equal to 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period, and such rate will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per annum; provided that in no event shall the additional interest on the old notes exceed 0.50% per annum. A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

If we fail to comply with certain obligations under the registration rights agreement, we will be required to pay additional interest to holders of the old notes.

If you wish to exchange your old notes for new notes in the exchange offer, you will be required to make the following written representations:

• you are not our affiliate or an affiliate of any guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act;

• you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the new notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act;

22

• you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new notes; and

• you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where the broker-dealer acquired the old notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes in the United States. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Resale of New Notes

The Issuer has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person who will receive new notes in the exchange offer to distribute those securities following completion of the exchange offer. The Issuer is not aware of any person that will participate in the exchange offer with a view to distribute the new notes.

Based on interpretations by the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that you may resell or otherwise transfer new notes issued in the exchange offer in the United States without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act if:

• you are not our affiliate or an affiliate of any guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

• you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the new notes;

• you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new notes; and

• you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business.

We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, a no-action letter from the SEC with respect to the effects of the exchange offer, and we cannot assure you that the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the new notes as it has in such no-action letters.

If you are our affiliate or an affiliate of any guarantor, or are engaging in, or intend to engage in, or have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the new notes, or are not acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business:

• you cannot rely on the position of the SEC set forth in Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter to Shearman & Sterling, dated July 2, 1993, or similar no-action letters; and

• in the absence of an exception from the position stated immediately above, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new notes in the United States.

This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, resale or other transfer of new notes only as specifically set forth in this prospectus. With regard to broker-dealers, only broker-dealers that acquired the old notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer. Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes in the United States. Please read “Plan of Distribution” for more details regarding the transfer of new notes.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange in the exchange offer any old notes that are properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the

23

expiration date. old notes may only be tendered in minimum denominations of US$2,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess of US$2,000. We will issue new notes in a principal amount identical to old notes surrendered in the exchange offer.

The form and terms of the new notes will be substantially identical to the form and terms of the old notes except the new notes will be registered under the Securities Act, will not bear legends restricting their transfer in the United States and will not provide for any additional interest upon our failure to fulfill our obligations under the registration rights agreement to complete the exchange offer, or file, and cause to be effective, a registration statement, if required thereby, within the specified time periods described above. The new notes will evidence the same continuing debt as is evidenced by the old notes and will not constitute a new debt. The new notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the same indenture that authorized the issuance of the old notes. Consequently, the old notes and the new notes will be treated as a single class of debt securities under the indenture. For a description of the indenture, see “Description of the new notes.”

The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of old notes being tendered for exchange.

As of the date of this prospectus, US$3.25 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes, consisting of: US$500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.150% Senior Notes due June 15, 2019, US$750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.700% Senior Notes due June 15, 2021, US$750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.550% Senior Notes due June 15, 2026, and US$1,250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due June 15, 2046 are outstanding. This prospectus and a letter of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of old notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable securities laws, and the rules and regulations of the SEC. old notes that are not tendered for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and will be entitled to the rights and benefits the holders have under the indenture relating to the old notes and the registration rights agreement, except for any rights under the registration rights agreement that by their terms terminate upon the consummation of the exchange offer.

We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered old notes when we have given written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the new notes from us and delivering new notes to holders. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, we expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to refuse to accept for exchange any old notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

If you tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of old notes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below in connection with the exchange offer. It is important that you read “—Fees and Expenses” below for more details regarding fees and expenses incurred in the exchange offer.

Expiration Date, Extensions and Amendments

As used in this prospectus, the term “expiration date” means midnight, New York City time, on,                     , 2016. However, if we, in our sole discretion, extend the period of time for which the exchange offer is open, the term “expiration date” will mean the latest time and date to which we shall have extended the expiration of the exchange offer.

To extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open, we will notify the exchange agent of any extension by written notice, followed by notification by press release or other public announcement to the

24

registered holders of the old notes no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

• to delay accepting for exchange any old notes (only in the case that we amend or extend the exchange offer);

• to extend the exchange offer or to terminate the exchange offer and refuse to accept old notes not previously accepted if any of the conditions set forth below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied, by giving written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; and

• subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner. In the event of a material change in the exchange offer, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend the offer period, if necessary, so that at least five business days remain in such offer period following notice of the material change.

Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by written notice to the registered holders of the old notes. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose the amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holders of the old notes of that amendment.

Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make public announcements of any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment of the exchange offer, we will have no obligation to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any public announcement, other than by making a timely release to a financial news service.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Despite any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue new notes in exchange for, any old notes and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus prior to the expiration date if in our reasonable judgment:

• the exchange offer or the making of any exchange by a holder violates any applicable law or interpretation of the SEC;

• any action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in writing in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer that, in our judgment, would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer or to realize the anticipated benefits of the exchange offer;

• there shall have occurred: (a) any general suspension of or limitation on trading in securities in Canadian or United States securities or financial markets, whether or not mandatory, (b) any material adverse change in the prices of the old notes that are the subject of the exchange offer, (c) a material impairment in the general trading market for debt securities, (d) a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks by federal or state authorities in Canada or the United States, whether or not mandatory, (e) a commencement of a war, armed hostilities, a terrorist act or other national or international calamity directly or indirectly relating to Canada or the United States, (f) any limitation, whether or not mandatory, by any governmental authority on, or other event having a reasonable likelihood of affecting, the extension of credit by banks or other lending institutions in Canada or the United States, (g) any material adverse change in the securities or financial markets in Canada or the United States generally or (h) in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the exchange offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof; or

25

• the Trustee (as defined below) with respect to the Indenture for the old notes that are the subject of the exchange offer and the new notes to be issued in the exchange offer shall have been directed by any holders of old notes to object in any respect to, or take any action that could adversely affect the consummation of the exchange offer or the exchange of old notes for new notes under the exchange offer, or the Trustee shall have taken any action that challenges the validity or effectiveness of the procedures used by us in making the exchange offer or the exchange of old notes for new notes under the exchange offer.

In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the old notes of any holder that has not made to us:

• the representations described under “—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer,” “—Procedures for Tendering old notes” and “Plan of Distribution”; or

• any other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to make available to us an appropriate form for registration of the new notes under the Securities Act.

We expressly reserve the right at any time or at various times to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. Consequently, we may delay acceptance of any old notes by giving written notice of such extension to their holders. We will return any old notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to their tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to reject for exchange any old notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the exchange offer specified above. We will give written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the exchange agent and holders of the old notes as promptly as practicable. In the case of any extension, such notice will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances that may give rise to them or waive them in whole or in part at any or at various times prior to the expiration date in our sole discretion. If we fail at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights, this failure will not constitute a waiver of such rights. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times prior to the expiration date.

In addition, we will not accept for exchange any old notes tendered, and will not issue new notes in exchange for any such old notes, if at such time any stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”).

Interest on the new notes

The New 2026 Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 3.550% per annum. The New 2046 Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 4.750% per annum.

Procedures for Tendering old notes

To tender your old notes in the exchange offer, you must comply with either of the following:

• complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal and have the signature(s) on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal and mail or deliver such letter of transmittal (or a copy thereof if the letter of transmittal does not require a signature guarantee), to the exchange agent at the address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent” prior to the expiration date; or

• comply with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures described below.

In addition, either:

• the exchange agent must receive certificates for the old notes along with the letter of transmittal prior to the expiration date;

• the exchange agent must receive a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of the old notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedures for book-entry transfer described below and a properly transmitted agent’s message prior to the expiration date; or

• you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Your tender, if not withdrawn prior to the expiration date, constitutes an agreement between us and you upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

The method of delivery of old notes, letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk. We recommend that instead of delivery by mail, you use an overnight or hand delivery service, properly insured. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. You should not send letters of transmittal or certificates representing old notes to us. You may request that your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or nominee effect the above transactions for you.

If you are a beneficial owner whose old notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your old notes, you should promptly contact the registered holder and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. If you wish to tender the old notes yourself, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your old notes, either:

• make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old notes in your name; or

• obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder of old notes.

The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be able to be completed prior to the expiration date. Signatures on the letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or another “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17A(d)-15 under the Exchange Act unless the old notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

• by a registered holder of the old notes who has not completed the box entitled “Special Registration Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal; or

• for the account of an eligible guarantor institution.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any old notes listed on the old notes, such old notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The bond power must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the old notes, and an eligible guarantor institution must guarantee the signature on the bond power.

27

If the letter of transmittal, any certificates representing old notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should also indicate when signing and, unless waived by us, they should also submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act.

The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may use DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program to tender old notes. Participants in the program may, instead of physically completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering it to the exchange agent, electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange by causing DTC to transfer the old notes to the exchange agent in accordance with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent’s message to the exchange agent. The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by DTC, received by the exchange agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, which states that:

• DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant in its Automated Tender Offer Program that is tendering old notes that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation;

• the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, or in the case of an agent’s message relating to guaranteed delivery, that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the notice of guaranteed delivery; and

• we may enforce that agreement against such participant.

DTC is referred to herein as a “book-entry transfer facility.”

Acceptance of new notes

Upon satisfaction or waiver off all of the conditions to the exchange offer, see “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer,” we will promptly issue new notes for old notes that we have accepted for exchange under the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:

• old notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such old notes into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility; and

• a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents or a properly transmitted agent’s message.

By tendering old notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will represent to us that, among other things:

• you are not our affiliate or an affiliate of any guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

• you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in a distribution of the new notes; and

• you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business.

In addition, each broker-dealer that is to receive new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes must represent that such old notes were acquired by that broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus that meets the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new notes in the United States. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution.”

We will interpret the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letter of transmittal and the instructions to the letter of transmittal, and will resolve all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, acceptance and withdrawal of old notes tendered for exchange. Our determinations in this regard

28

will be final and binding on all parties. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of any particular old notes not properly tendered or to not accept any particular old notes if the acceptance might, in our or our counsel’s judgment, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities as to any particular old notes prior to the expiration date.

Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes for exchange must be cured within such reasonable period of time as we determine. Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of old notes for exchange, nor will any of them incur any liability for any failure to give notification. Any old notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly after the expiration date.

Book-Entry Delivery Procedures

Promptly after the date of this prospectus, the exchange agent will establish an account with respect to the old notes at DTC, as the book-entry transfer facility, for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility’s system may make book-entry delivery of the old notes by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer those old notes into the exchange agent’s account at the facility in accordance with the facility’s procedures for such transfer. To be timely, book-entry delivery of old notes requires receipt of a confirmation of a book-entry transfer, a “book-entry confirmation,” and an agent’s message prior to the expiration date, or the guaranteed delivery procedure described below must be complied with. Book-entry tenders will not be deemed made until the book-entry confirmation and agent’s message are received by the exchange agent. Delivery of documents to the book-entry transfer facility does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

Holders of old notes who are unable to deliver confirmation of the book-entry tender of their old notes into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility or all other documents required by the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date may tender their old notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If you wish to tender your old notes but your old notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your old notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent or comply with the procedures under DTC’s Automatic Tender Offer Program in the case of old notes, prior to the expiration date, you may still tender if:

• you are acquiring the new notes in the ordinary course of your business.

• the tender is made through an eligible guarantor institution;

• prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible guarantor institution either a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, by facsimile transmission (if the notice of guaranteed delivery does not require a signature guarantee), mail, or hand delivery or a properly transmitted agent’s message, that (1) sets forth your name and address, the certificate number(s) of such old notes and the principal amount of old notes tendered; (2) states that the tender is being made thereby; and (3) guarantees that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal, or copy thereof, together with the old notes, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, or a book-entry confirmation and an agent’s message will be deposited by the eligible guarantor institution with the exchange agent; and

• the exchange agent receives the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or copy (if the letter of transmittal does not require a signature guarantee) thereof and all other documents required by

29

the letter of transmittal, as well as certificate(s) representing all tendered old notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation of transfer of the old notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC and agent’s message within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.

Upon request, the exchange agent will send to you a notice of guaranteed delivery if you hold certificated notes and you wish to tender your old notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures.

Withdrawal Rights

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender of old notes at any time prior to midnight, New York City time, on the expiration date.

For a withdrawal to be effective:

• the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal at its address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent”, such notice of withdrawal may be delivered by mail or hand delivery or by facsimile transmission (if no medallion guarantee of signatures is required); or

• you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program system.

Any notice of withdrawal must:

• specify the name of the person who tendered the old notes to be withdrawn;

• identify the old notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate numbers and principal amount of the old notes;

• in the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer, specify the number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility from which the old notes were tendered and specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn old notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility;

• contain a statement that such holder is withdrawing its election to have such old notes exchanged;

• be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which such old notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer to have the trustees with respect to the old notes in the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and

• specify the name in which such old notes are registered, if different from the person who tendered such old notes.

If certificates for old notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, you must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and the signatures in the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution unless you are an eligible guarantor institution.

If old notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn old notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of the facility. We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt of notices of withdrawal, and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any old notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any old notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder, without cost to the holder, or, in the case of book-entry transfer, the old notes will be credited to an account at the book-entry

30

transfer facility, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn old notes may be retendered by following the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering old notes” above at any time on or prior to the expiration date.

If you deliver the letter of transmittal or the notice of guaranteed delivery to an address other than the one set forth above or transmit instructions via facsimile (if the letter of transmittal or the notice of guaranteed delivery does not require a signature guarantee) to a number other than the one set forth above, that delivery or those instructions will not be effective.

Fees and Expenses

The registration rights agreement provides that we will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations relating to the registration of the new notes and the conduct of the exchange offer. These expenses include registration and filing fees, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as well as the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding this prospectus and related documents to their clients that are holders of old notes and for handling or tendering for such clients.

We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not pay any fee or commission to any broker, dealer, nominee or other person, other than the exchange agent, for soliciting tenders of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

Accounting Treatment

We will record the new notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the old notes, which is the aggregate principal amount as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the consummation of the exchange offer. We will record the expenses of the exchange offer as incurred.

Transfer Taxes

We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if:

• certificates representing old notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of old notes tendered;

31

• tendered old notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or

• a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes under the exchange offer.

If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed to that tendering holder.

In addition, holders who instruct us to register new notes in the name of a person other than the registered tendering holder of old notes tendered will be required to pay any applicable transfer tax.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes under the exchange offer, your old notes will remain subject to the restrictions on transfer of such old notes:

• as set forth in the legend(s) printed on the old notes as a consequence of the issuance of the old notes pursuant to the exemption from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or applicable state and other securities laws; and

• as otherwise set forth in the offering circular distributed in connection with the private offering.

In general, you may not offer or sell your old notes in the United States unless they are registered under the Securities Act or if the offer or sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the old notes under the Securities Act.

Other

Participating in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.

In addition, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, subject to the provisions of the indenture pursuant to which the old notes were issued:

• to purchase or make offers for any old notes that remain outstanding subsequent to the expiration date or, as described under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer,” to terminate the exchange offer,

• to redeem old notes as a whole, or in part, at any time and from time to time, as described under “Description of the New Notes-Optional Redemption,” and

• to the extent permitted under applicable law, to purchase old notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

The terms of any such purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer.

We have no present plans to acquire any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered old notes.

32

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES

As used below, the terms (i) “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Emera Incorporated, Emera US Finance LP, Emera US Holdings Inc., and, if the context requires, Emera Incorporated’s subsidiaries, (ii) “Emera” refers to Emera Incorporated and, if the context requires, its subsidiaries, (iii) the “Issuer” refers to Emera US Finance LP (iv) the “Guarantors” refers collectively to Emera Incorporated and Emera US Holdings Inc., and (v) “EUSHI” refers to Emera US Holdings Inc.

General

The old notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of June 16, 2016 among us, the guarantors party thereto and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the Notes and the Indenture. However, this summary does not purport to be a complete description of the Notes or the Indenture and is subject to the detailed provisions of, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Indenture, a copy of which is available from us upon request. We urge you to read the Indenture carefully because it, and not the following description, will govern your rights as a holder of the Notes.

The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities which the Issuer may issue under it and provides that the Issuer may issue debt securities under it from time to time in one or more series. The Old 2019 Notes, the Old 2021 Notes, the Old 2026 Notes and the Old 2046 Notes were issued as a separate series.

The Issuer may “reopen” each series of notes and issue additional notes of any series (the “additional notes”) from time to time without notice or the consent of holders of the notes. If the Issuer reopens a series of notes, the period of any resale restriction applicable to the notes of such series may be extended to the last day of the term of any resale restrictions imposed on any notes of such series sold under any such reopening. The new notes of each series and any additional notes of that series subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments and redemptions; provided that if such additional notes are not fungible with the notes of the applicable series offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will have a separate CUSIP and/or ISIN number. Except as otherwise specified herein, all references to the notes of any series include any additional notes of that series.

The terms of the notes included those expressly set forth in the Indenture those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

This description of the notes is intended to be a useful overview of the material provisions of the notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture. Since this description is only a summary, you should refer to the Indenture for a complete description of the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors and your rights.

Interest

The Issuer issued the old notes initially with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $325 billion, and will issue the new notes in such amounts as are tendered for exchange pursuant to this prospectus. Interest on the New 2019 Notes will begin to accrue on December 16, 2016, at the rate of 2.150% per annum. Interest on the New 2021 Notes will begin to accrue on December 16, 2016, at the rate of 2.700% per annum. Interest on the New 2026 Notes will begin to accrue on December 16, 2016, at the rate of 3.550% per annum. Interest on the New 2046 Notes will begin to accrue on December 16, 2016, at the rate of 4.750% per annum. Additional interest may also accrue on the notes in the circumstances described under “Additional Interest” above and all references to “interest” in this description include any such additional interest that may be payable on the notes.

33

Interest on the notes of each series will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2016, to the persons in whose names such notes are registered at the close of business on the preceding June 1 and December 1, respectively (whether or not a business day). In the event that any interest payment date for the notes (other than the interest payment date that is the maturity date of the notes) would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, the interest payment date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day and holders thereof will not be entitled to any further interest or other payment as a result of any such delay. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Ranking

Each series of the notes will:

• be unsecured;

• be effectively junior in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s existing and future secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt);

• rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s existing and future unsubordinated, unsecured indebtedness, and;

• be senior in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness; and

• will be guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis as described below under “Subsidiary Guarantees.”

The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each of the Guarantors pursuant to the Guarantees. Each Guarantee will be a direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of each Guarantor and will have the same ranking with respect to indebtedness of such Guarantor as the notes will have with respect to the Issuer’s indebtedness. See “—Guarantees.”

As of September 30, 2016 the Issuer and the Guarantors had Cdn$4.2 billion of indebtedness, none of which was secured, and Emera’s subsidiaries (other than EUSHI and the Issuer, but including TECO Energy and its subsidiaries) had Cdn$11.2 billion in indebtedness.

Guarantees

Each Guarantor will fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes of each series and any other obligations of the Issuer under the notes of each series when and as they become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise if the Issuer is unable to satisfy these obligations.

Emera is a holding company and conducts substantially all of its business through its direct and indirect operating subsidiaries. EUSHI, a direct subsidiary of Emera, serves as a holding company for Emera’s current assets located in the United States and, upon consummation of the Acquisition, for the TECO Energy assets. The principal sources of income of Emera and EUSHI are the dividends and distributions they receive from their subsidiaries.

The Guarantees will be the joint and several obligations exclusively of Emera and EUSHI. None of Emera’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than EUSHI) will guarantee or otherwise be responsible for the payment of principal of, any premium or interest or other payments required to be made by the Guarantors under the Guarantees. Accordingly, obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables and indebtedness) of Emera’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than EUSHI). In the event of an insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of any of

34

Emera’s subsidiaries (other than EUSHI), the creditors of the Guarantors (including the holders of the notes) will have no right to proceed against the assets of such subsidiary. Also, creditors of such subsidiary would generally be entitled to payment in full from such assets before any assets are made available for distribution to the Guarantors. As of September 30, 2016, Emera’s subsidiaries (other than EUSHI and the Issuer) had Cdn$11.2 billion of indebtedness.

The Indenture provides that upon a default in payment of principal or any premium or interest on a note, the holder of the notes may institute legal proceedings directly against the Guarantors to enforce the Guarantees without first proceeding against the Issuer. The obligations of each Guarantor under the Guarantees of the notes will be limited as necessary to prevent such Guarantees from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law

Optional Redemption

Prior to the maturity date, the New 2019 Notes will be redeemable, at the Issuer’s option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a price equal to the greater of:

• 100% of the principal amount of the New 2019 Notes of to be redeemed; and

• the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (at the rate in effect on the date of calculation of the redemption price) on the New 2019 Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield, plus 20 basis points;

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

Prior to the applicable Par Call Date, the New 2021 Notes, the New 2026 Notes and the New 2046 Notes will be redeemable, at the Issuer’s option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a price equal to the greater of:

• 100% of the principal amount of the notes of such series to be redeemed; and

• the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (at the rate in effect on the date of calculation of the redemption price) on the notes of such series to be redeemed that would be due if such notes matured on the applicable Par Call date (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Yield, plus basis 25 points in the case of the New 2021 Notes, 30 basis points in the case of the New 2026 Notes and 35 basis points in the case of the New 2046 Notes;

plus, in any case, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the New 2021 Notes, the New 2026 Notes and the New 2046 Notes will be redeemable, at the Issuer’s option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes of such series to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to the date of redemption.

For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means (i) in the case of the New 2019 Notes, the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the New 2019 Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the

35

notes of such series, and (ii) in the case of the New 2021 Notes, the New 2026 Notes and the New 2046 Notes, the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes of the applicable series to be redeemed, calculated as if the maturity date of such notes were the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”), that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of the notes of such series.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date and as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations obtained by the Independent Investment Banker for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. (and their respective successors), or, if each of such firms is unwilling or unable to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by us.

“Par Call Date” means May 15, 2021 (one month prior to the maturity date) in the case of the New 2021 Notes, March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date) in the case of the New 2026 Notes and December 15, 2045 (six months prior to the maturity date) in the case of the New 2046 Notes.

“Primary Treasury Dealer” means any primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. (or their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers), and any other Primary Treasury Dealer designated by, and not affiliated with, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., or their respective successors, provided, however, that if any of the foregoing, or any of their respective designees, ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Issuer will appoint another Primary Treasury Dealer as a substitute and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for the notes of a series, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for such notes (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any redemption date applicable to the notes of a series, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed by the Independent Investment Banker as of the third business day immediately preceding such redemption date) of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

The Issuer will deliver notice of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the applicable redemption date to each holder of the notes to be redeemed. If the Issuer elects to redeem the notes in part, the Trustee will select the notes to be redeemed in a fair and appropriate manner in accordance with methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar circumstances (or, in the case of notes evidenced by global notes, in accordance with the Depository’s applicable procedures).

Notes called for redemption will be redeemed in principal amounts of US$2,000 or any integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess of US$2,000. Upon the payment of the redemption price, premium, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on and after the applicable redemption date on the notes called for redemption.

36

Once a notice of redemption is given in accordance with the Indenture, the notes called for redemption become due and payable on the applicable redemption date.

Additional Amounts

All payments made by or on behalf of Emera, EUSHI or the Issuer under or with respect to the notes or the Guarantees 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 imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Government of Canada or any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax (“Canadian Taxes”), unless Emera, EUSHI or the Issuer, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Canadian Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. If Emera, EUSHI or the Issuer, as the case may be, is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Canadian Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the notes or the Guarantees, Emera, EUSHI or the Issuer, as the case may be, will pay to each holder of such notes as additional interest such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each such holder after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting any Canadian Taxes on such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such holder would have received if such Canadian Taxes had not been withheld or deducted. However, no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a recipient or beneficial owner of such payment:

• with which Emera, EUSHI, the Issuer or a partner of the Issuer or the Issuer General Partner, as the case may be, does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) at the time of making such payment;

• which is liable to such Canadian Taxes by reason of the recipient or beneficial owner being a resident, domicile or national of, or engaged in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or other physical presence in or otherwise having some connection with Canada or any province or territory thereof otherwise than by the mere holding of notes or the receipt of payments thereunder;

• which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of the failure of the recipient or beneficial owner to comply with any certification, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such Canadian Taxes;

• which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of the legal nature of the recipient or beneficial owner disentitling such recipient or beneficial owner to the benefit of an applicable treaty if and to the extent that the application of such treaty would have resulted in the reduction or elimination of any Canadian Taxes as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to a notes holder on behalf of such beneficial owner;

• which failed to duly and timely comply with a timely request by Emera, EUSHI or the Issuer, as the case may be, to provide information, documents, certification or other evidence concerning such recipient or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, entitlement to treaty benefits, identity or connection with Canada or any political subdivision or authority thereof, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request would have resulted in the reduction or elimination of any Canadian Taxes as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to a recipient or beneficial owner but for this clause;

• which is a fiduciary, limited liability company, partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner, to the extent that, any beneficiary or settlor of such fiduciary, any member of such limited liability company, any partner in such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment (as the case may be) would not have been entitled to receive Additional Amounts with respect to such payment if such beneficiary, settlor, member, partner or beneficial owner had been the recipient of such payment; or

• which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of any combination of the above.

37

In addition, no Additional Amounts will be payable on account of:

• any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by us or a paying agent from the payment;

• any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

• any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

• any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;

• any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of any note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

• any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986; or

• any combination of any of the foregoing exceptions.

The Issuer will also (i) make such withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.

The Issuer will furnish to the holders of the notes within 60 days after the date the payment of any Canadian Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts or other documents evidencing such payment by the Issuer.

In the event the Issuer fails to remit any Canadian Taxes in respect of which Additional Amounts are payable, the Issuer will indemnify and hold harmless each holder of notes (other than, for certainty, a recipient or beneficial owner not entitled to receive Additional Amounts) and upon written request reimburse each such holder for the amount, excluding any payment of Additional Amounts by the Issuer, of:

• any Canadian Taxes levied or imposed and paid by such holder as a result of payments made under or with respect to the notes;

• any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; and

• any Canadian Taxes imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the preceding two bullet points, but excluding any such Canadian Taxes on such holder’s net income.

Wherever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to the notes or the Guarantees, 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.

Optional Tax Redemption

The notes will be subject to redemption at any time, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption, upon the giving of a notice as described below, if the Issuer (or its successor) determines that (i) as a result of (A) any

38

amendment to or change (including any announced prospective change) in the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of Canada (or the jurisdiction of organization of the successor to the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as the case may be) (a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, as applicable, or (B) any amendment to or change in an interpretation or application of such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), which amendment or change is announced or becomes effective on or after June 9, 2016 (or the date a party organized in a jurisdiction other than Canada or the United States becomes a successor to the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as the case may be), the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as the case may be, has or will become obligated to pay, on the next succeeding date on which interest is due, Additional Amounts with respect to the notes or the Guarantees as described under “—Additional Amounts,” (ii) on or after June 9, 2016 (or the date a party organized in a jurisdiction other than Canada or the United States becomes a successor of the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera), any action has been taken by any taxing authority of, or any decision has been rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction in, a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including any of those actions specified in (i) above, whether or not such action was taken or decision was rendered with respect to the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as the case may be, or any change, amendment, application or interpretation shall be officially proposed, which, in any such case, in the written opinion to the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as the case may be, of Canadian legal counsel of recognized standing, will result in the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as the case may be, becoming obligated to pay, on the next succeeding date on which interest is due, Additional Amounts with respect to the notes and, in any such case, in business judgment of the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as the case may be, the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as the case may be, determines that such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as the case may be, or (iii) an “interest tax event” has occurred within 90 days of the date fixed for redemption.

“Interest tax event” means the receipt by the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera of an opinion of independent counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of any:

• amendment to, clarification of or change (including any officially announced prospective change) in the laws or treaties of the United States or Canada, as the case may be, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or any regulations under those laws or treaties, that is enacted or effective on or after the initial issuance of the notes;

• administrative action, which means any judicial decision or any official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, notice or other similar announcement, including any notice or announcement of intent to issue or adopt any administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation, that is taken on or after the initial issuance of the notes;

• amendment to, clarification of or change in the official position or the interpretation of any administrative action or judicial decision or any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to an administrative action or judicial decision that differs from the previously generally accepted position, in each case by any legislative body, court, governmental authority or regulatory body, regardless of the time or manner in which that amendment, clarification or change is introduced or made known, that is enacted or effective on or after the initial issuance of the notes; or

• threatened challenge asserted in writing in connection with an audit of the Issuer or its partners, or a threatened challenge asserted in writing against any other taxpayer that has raised capital through the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the notes, which challenge is asserted against the Issuer or its partners or becomes publicly known on or after the initial issuance of the notes;

it is more likely than not that the Issuer or its partners (other than Emera acting in its capacity as Guarantor) will be denied a current deduction in whole or in part in calculating its income tax liability in the United States or Canada that is attributable to any portion of the interest payable on the notes.

In the event that we elect to redeem a series of notes pursuant to the provisions set forth in the preceding paragraph, we shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate, signed by an authorized officer, stating that we are entitled to redeem such series of notes pursuant to their terms.

39

Notice of intention to redeem such series of notes will be given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption and will specify the date fixed for redemption.

Restrictions On Transfer

The notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer and will bear a restrictive legend substantially as described in “Transfer Restrictions.”

Covenants

Various capitalized terms used within this “Covenants” subsection are defined at the end of this subsection.

Limitation On Liens

While the notes remain outstanding, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors will create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by a mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or security interest (together, “liens”) in any shares of the capital stock or other equity interests of any subsidiary now or hereafter directly owned by the Issuer or the Guarantors, or otherwise encumber any assets owned directly by the Issuer or the Guarantors unless at the same time all the notes then outstanding shall be secured equally and ratably with such indebtedness until such time as such indebtedness is no longer secured by such lien; provided that this covenant will not apply to each of the following:

(i) Purchase Money Mortgages and Capital Lease Obligations;

(ii) liens securing Non-Recourse Debt;

(iii) liens on property of an entity existing at the time such entity is merged into or consolidated with the Issuer or the Guarantors or incurred within 180 days of the time of merger or consolidation thereof or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition to the Issuer or the Guarantors of the properties of an entity, provided that such liens on property were not created in anticipation of the merger, consolidation, sale, lease or other disposition;

(iv) liens on any shares of the capital stock or other equity interests of any entity existing at the time such entity becomes a subsidiary of the Issuer or any Guarantor;

(v) liens in favor of the Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries;

(E) the right reserved to or vested in any municipality or governmental or other public authority by any statutory provision or by the terms of any lease, license, franchise, grant or permit, which affects any land, to terminate any such lease, license, franchise, grant or permit or to require annual or other periodic payments as a condition to the continuance thereof;

40

(F) undetermined or inchoate liens and charges incidental to the current operations of the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, which have not at the time been filed against the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, provided, however, that if any such lien or charge shall have been filed, the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review with respect to which it shall have secured a stay in the enforcement of any such lien or charge;

(G) any mortgage, charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance the validity of which is being contested at the time by the Issuer or the Guarantors in good faith or payment of which has been provided for by deposit with the Trustee of an amount in cash sufficient to pay the same in full;

(H) liens and privileges arising out of judgments or awards with respect to which the Issuer or the Guarantors shall be prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review and with respect to which it shall have secured a stay of execution pending such appeal or proceedings for review;

(K) any other liens of a nature similar to the foregoing which do not materially impair the use of the property subject thereto or the operation of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantors or the value of such property for the purpose of such business;

(viii) liens on property of the Issuer or the Guarantors which, in aggregate, do not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of consolidated net assets of Emera and its consolidated subsidiaries;

(x) any refinancing, extensions, renewal, alteration, substitution or replacement (or successive refinancings, extensions, renewals, alterations, substitutions or replacements), in whole or in part, of any lien or similar interest referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (ix), provided the refinancing, extension, renewal, alteration, substitution or replacement of such lien or similar interest is limited to all or any part of the same property that secured the lien or similar interest refinanced, extended, renewed, altered, substituted or replaced (plus improvements on such property) and the principal amount of the obligations secured thereby is not thereby increased.

Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance or Transfer

The Indenture will limit the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantors to enter into mergers, consolidations or transfers of all of their respective assets. Accordingly, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors will be permitted to consolidate or merge with any other entity or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets or properties to any entity unless:

• with respect to the Issuer or EUSHI, that entity is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, Canada or any province or territory thereof, or Bermuda or The Cayman Islands; provided, however, that if that entity is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof, that entity assumes obligations of the Issuer or EUSHI, as the case may be, to pay Additional Amounts, substituting the name of such successor jurisdiction for Canada in each place that Canada appears in “Additional Amounts” below;

41

• that entity assumes the obligations of the Issuer, Emera or EUSHI, as applicable, under the Indenture;

• after giving effect to the transaction, the Issuer, Emera or EUSHI, as applicable, is not in default under the Indenture; and

• the Issuer, Emera or EUSHI, as applicable, delivers to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel to the effect that the transaction complies with the Indenture.

Provision of Financial Information

Regardless of whether Emera is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Indenture will require Emera to provide to the Trustee:

• within 140 days after the end of the fiscal year, the information required to be contained in reports on Form 40-F or Form 20-F, as applicable, or any successor form, provided, however, that neither management’s report on internal control over financial reporting required by Section 13a-15(c) of the Exchange Act nor the annual disclosure of changes in internal control over financial reporting required by Section 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act for foreign private issuers (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the associated certifications of the principal executive and financial officers required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) shall be required to be included until Emera’s second annual report on Form 40-F or Form 20-F, as applicable, filed with the SEC; and

• within 65 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, the information required to be contained in reports on Form 6-K (or any successor form), containing the information which, regardless of applicable requirements shall, at a minimum, contain such information required to be provided in quarterly reports under the laws of Nova Scotia, including applicable securities laws and the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange or any province thereof to security holders of a corporation with securities listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, whether or not Emera has any of our securities listed on such exchange.

Emera is a foreign private issuer eligible to use the Multi-Jurisdictional Disclosure System available to certain issuers incorporated pursuant to the laws of a Canadian province. As such, Emera is exempt from certain sections of the Exchange Act that U.S. issuers would otherwise be subject to, including the requirement to provide information statements or proxy statements that comply with U.S. securities laws and to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the above reporting requirements shall be construed to require such statements or reports that would not otherwise be required to be filed by foreign private issuers subject to the Multi-Jurisdictional Disclosure System.

Each such report, to the extent permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, will be prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, provided, however, that Emera shall not be obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filings.

Nothing herein shall be construed to require the registered public accounting firm that prepares or issues the audit report for Emera to attest to, and report on, the assessment made by the management of Emera pursuant to the requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, unless otherwise required by the Exchange Act.

Event Risk

Except for the limitations described above under the subsection “—Limitation on Liens,” neither the Indenture, the Guarantees nor the notes will afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction involving the Issuer, Emera or EUSHI, as applicable, or will contain any restrictions on the amount of additional indebtedness that the Issuer, Emera or EUSHI, as applicable, may incur.

Book-entry; Delivery and Form

The notes will initially be issued only in registered, book-entry form, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof as described under “—Book-Entry System.” We will issue one or more global notes in denominations that together equal the total principal amount of the outstanding notes of each series.

Modification of the Indenture

Amendments of the Indenture and any series of notes may be made by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding series of notes affected thereby; provided, however, that no such amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected thereby:

• extend the final maturity of the principal of such notes;

• reduce the principal amount of such notes;

• reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, including default interest, on such notes;

• reduce any amount payable on redemption of any such notes;

• change the currency in which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on any such notes is payable;

• waive a continuing default or event of default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such notes;

• make any change in the percentage in principal amount of such series of notes, the consent of the holders of which is required for any such amendment.

45

Without the consent of any holder of outstanding notes, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture and the notes to:

• cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

• provide for the assumption by a successor to the obligations of the Issuer, EUSHI or Emera, as applicable, under the Indenture;

• provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;

• provide for the issuance of new notes and related guarantees or additional notes in accordance with the Indenture;

• effect or maintain, or otherwise comply with the requirements of the Commission in connection with, the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

• secure all or any of the notes of any series, to the extent otherwise permitted by the Indenture;

• add to the covenants of the Issuer or the Guarantors or events of default for the benefit of the holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or the Guarantors;

• effect any provision of the Indenture;

• conform the text of the Indenture or the notes to the “Description of the Notes” set forth in this prospectus to the extent such provision in the “Description of the Notes” was intended to be a verbatim, or substantially verbatim, recitation of a provision of the Indenture or the notes; or

• make other provisions that do not adversely affect the rights of any holder of outstanding notes.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of any series may, on behalf of the holders of all notes of such series, waive compliance with any covenant or any past default under the Indenture with respect to such notes, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any note of that series or in respect of a provision which under the Indenture cannot be amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected.

It is not necessary for the consent of the holders under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or waiver. A consent to any amendment or waiver under the Indenture by any holder of notes given in connection with a tender of such holder’s notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment or waiver under the Indenture requiring consent of the holders becomes effective, the Issuer will deliver to the holders and the Trustee a notice briefly describing such amendment or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or waiver.

Events of Default

The Indenture will provide, with respect to any series of notes, that any of the following events constitutes an Event of Default:

(1) the Issuer defaults in the payment of any interest on any note of that series that becomes due and payable and the default continues for 30 days;

(2) the Issuer defaults in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any note of that series when due at its maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration or otherwise;

(3) the Issuer, Emera or EUSHI, as applicable, defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant or warranty in the Indenture or the notes of that series and such default or breach continues for a period of 90 days after written notice of such default or breach has been given to the Issuer, Emera and EUSHI, as applicable, from the Trustee or to the Issuer, Emera, EUSHI, as applicable, and the Trustee from the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes of that series;

46

(4) Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the Issuer, Emera or EUSHI, as applicable, is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds in the aggregate the greater of US$100,000,000 and 3% of Emera’s consolidated net assets;

(5) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, Emera or EUSHI; and

(6) any guarantee related to the notes ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such guarantee) or Emera or EUSHI denies or disaffirms its obligations under its respective Guarantee.

If an event of default (other than one described in clause (5) above) occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of notes, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes of that series may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on those notes to be due and payable immediately. If any event of default described in clause (5) above occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the notes will be automatically due and payable immediately, without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder. However, any time after an acceleration with respect to the notes of any series has occurred, but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding notes of that series may, under some circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration. The majority-holders, however, may not annul or waive a continuing default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the notes of that series.

The Trustee will be entitled to receive reasonable indemnification satisfactory to it from the holders of the notes before the Trustee exercises any of its rights or powers under the Indenture. This indemnification is subject to the Trustee’s duty to act with the required standard of care during a default.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of any series may direct the time, method and place of:

• the conduct of any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to such series; or

• the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series.

• This right of the holders of the notes is, however, subject to the provisions in the Indenture providing for the indemnification of the Trustee and other specified limitations.

• In general, the holders of notes of any series may institute an action against the Issuer or the Guarantors or any other obligor under the notes only if the following four conditions are fulfilled:

• the holder previously has given to the Trustee written notice of default and the default continues;

• the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the notes of such series then outstanding have both requested the Trustee to institute such action and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it;

• the Trustee has not instituted this action within 60 days of receipt of such request and the furnishing of such indemnity; and

• the Trustee has not received a direction inconsistent with such written request by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes of that series then outstanding.

The above four conditions do not apply to actions by holders of the notes against the Issuer or the Guarantors or any other obligor under the notes for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on or after the due date.

The Indenture will contain a covenant that the Issuer, the Guarantors and any other obligor under the notes will file annually with the Trustee a statement by an officer as to whether or not the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the

47

case may be, to his or her knowledge, is in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture and, if so, specifying all such known defaults, provided, however, that a failure to deliver such statement of a default shall not constitute a default under the Indenture, if such default is remedied within any applicable cure period.

Discharge, Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The Issuer may discharge or defease its obligations under any series of notes as set forth below.

Under terms specified in the Indenture, the Issuer may discharge certain obligations to holders of the notes of any series that have not already been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The notes of such series must also:

• have become due and payable;

• be due and payable by their terms within one year; or

• be scheduled for redemption by their terms within one year.

The Issuer may discharge the notes of any series by, among other things, irrevocably depositing an amount certified to be sufficient to pay at final maturity, or upon redemption, the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the notes of such series. The Issuer may make the deposit in cash, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, as defined in the Indenture.

The Issuer may terminate all its obligations under the notes of any series and the Indenture (as it applies to such series) at any time, except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the notes. This is referred to as “legal defeasance.” If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option with respect to a series of notes, the Guarantees in effect at such time will terminate with respect to that series.

Under terms specified in the Indenture, the Issuer and the Guarantors may be released with respect to any outstanding notes of any series from the obligations imposed by the sections of the Indenture that contain the covenants described above under “—Guarantees,” “—Covenants—Limitation on Liens” and “—Covenants—Consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer.” In that case, the Issuer and the Guarantors would no longer be required to comply with these sections without the creation of an event of default under such series of notes. This is typically referred to as “covenant defeasance.” If the Issuer exercises the covenant defeasance option with respect to a series of notes, the Guarantees of such series of notes in effect at such time will terminate. The Issuer may exercise the legal defeasance option notwithstanding the prior exercise of the covenant defeasance option.

Legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to a series of notes may be effected by the Issuer only if, among other things:

• the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof as trust funds in an amount certified by a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants to be sufficient to pay at final maturity or upon redemption the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all outstanding notes of such series; and

• the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of the notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance. This opinion must further state that these beneficial owners will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if our legal defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred. In the case of a legal defeasance, this opinion must be based on a ruling of the IRS or a change in U.S. federal income tax law occurring after the date of the Indenture.

48

Payments on the Notes; Paying Agent and Registrar

The Issuer will pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any notes issued in certificated form (“Certificated Notes”) at the office or agency we designate in The City of New York, except that the Issuer may pay interest on any Certificated Notes either at the corporate trust office of the trustee in The City of New York or, at the Issuer’s option, by check mailed to holders of the notes at their registered addresses as they appear in the registrar’s books. In addition, if a holder of any Certificated Notes has given wire transfer instructions in accordance with the Indenture, the Issuer will make all payments on those notes by wire transfer.

The Issuer has initially designated the Trustee, at its corporate trust office in The City of New York, to act as the Issuer’s paying agent and registrar. The Issuer may, however, change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

The Issuer will pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, any note in global form registered in the name of or held by the Depository or its nominee in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such global note.

The Issuer will pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes in U.S. dollars.

Transfer and Exchange

A holder of notes may transfer or exchange notes at the office of the registrar in accordance with the Indenture. The registrar and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge will be imposed by us, the Trustee or the registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but the Issuer may require a holder or beneficial owner to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge or other fee required by law. The Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before sending a notice of redemption. The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

Concerning the Trustee

The Trustee is one of a number of banks with which we and our affiliates maintain ordinary banking relationships.

Consent to Jurisdiction and Service

Under the Indenture, Emera has irrevocably appointed Emera US Finance LP as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture, the notes and the Guarantees and for actions brought under federal or state securities laws brought in any Federal or state court located in The City of New York, and has submitted to such non-exclusive jurisdiction.

Book-entry System

The following description of the operations and procedures of the Depository, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience and are not intended to serve as a representation or warranty of any kind. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. We do not take any responsibility for these operations and procedures, and investors are urged to contact the relevant system or its participants directly to discuss these matters.

DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in

49

those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the “Indirect Participants”). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants. DTC has also advised us that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

• upon deposit of the global notes, the Depository will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the Initial Purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the global notes; and

• ownership of these interests in the global notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the global notes).

Investors in the notes represented by the 144A global notes who are Participants in the Depository’s system may hold their interests therein directly through the Depository. Investors in such notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) which are Participants. Investors in the notes represented by the Regulation S global notes must initially hold their interests therein through Euroclear or Clearstream, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants. After the expiration of the Restricted Period (but not earlier), investors may also hold interests in the Regulation S global notes through Participants in the Depository system other than Euroclear and Clearstream. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests in the global notes on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories, which are Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of Euroclear, and Citibank, N.A., as operator of Clearstream. All interests in a global note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of the Depository. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems.

The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because the Depository can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a global note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the Depository’s system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

Except as described below, owners of an interest in the global notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Certificated Notes and will not be considered the registered owners or “holders” thereof under the Indenture for any purpose.

Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, a global note registered in the name of the nominee of the Depository will be payable to the nominee in its capacity as the registered holder under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, we, the Guarantors and the Trustee will treat the persons in whose names the notes, including the global notes, are registered as the owners thereof for the purpose of receiving such payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither we, the Guarantors, the Trustee, nor any agent of any of such parties have or will have any responsibility or liability for:

• any aspect of the Depository’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the global notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of the Depository’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the global notes; or

50

• any other matter relating to the actions and practices of the Depository or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

The Depository has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless the Depository has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of the Depository. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of the notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of us, the Depository, the Trustee or the Guarantors. Neither we, the Guarantors nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by the Depository or any of the Participants or the Indirect Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and we, the Guarantors and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in conclusively relying on instructions from the Depository or its nominee for all purposes.

Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the notes described herein, cross-market transfers between the Participants in the Depository, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through the Depository in accordance with the Depository’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its depository; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its depository to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global note, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to the Depository. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the notes described herein, cross-market transfers between the Participants in the Depository, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through the Depository in accordance with the Depository’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its depository; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its depository to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global note, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to the Depository. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

The Depository has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of the notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account the Depository has credited the interests in the global notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the Indenture, the Depository reserves the right to exchange the global notes for Certificated Notes, which may be legended if required by the Indenture, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

Although the Depository, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the preceding procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants in the Depository, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time. Neither we, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by the Depository, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

51

Governing Law

The Indenture, the notes and the Guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

A global note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if (1) the Depository (A) notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the global note or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, we fail to appoint a successor depository within 90 days, (2) we, at our option but subject to the Depository’s requirements, notify the Trustee in writing that we elect to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S temporary global notes be exchanged for Certificated Notes prior to (a) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (b) the receipt of any certificates required under the provisions of Regulation S; or (3) there has occurred and is continuing an event of default under the Indenture and the Depository notifies the Trustee of its decision to exchange global notes for Certificated Notes.

In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any global note or beneficial interest therein will be registered in names, and issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, requested by or on behalf of the Depository (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear the restrictive legend referred to in “Transfer Restrictions,” unless we determine otherwise in compliance with applicable law.

Neither we, the Guarantors nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by a global note holder or the Depository in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes and we, the Guarantors and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the global note holder or the Depository for all purposes.

Same Day Settlement and Payment

Payments in respect of the notes represented by a global note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the global note holder. With respect to Certificated Notes, we will make all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in the manner described above under “—Payments on the notes; Paying Agent and Registrar.” We expect that secondary trading in the Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a global note from a Participant in the Depository will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of the Depository. The Depository has advised us that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant in the Depository will be received with value on the settlement date of the Depository but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following the Depository’s settlement date.

52

MATERIAL UNITED STATES TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

The exchange of an old note for a new note in the exchange offer will not be treated as a taxable event to holders for United States federal income tax purposes. Consequently, for United States federal income tax purposes, you will not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of a new note, the holding period of the new note will include the holding period of the old note exchanged therefor and the basis of the new note will be the same as the basis of the old note immediately before the exchange.

53

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder of old notes who acquires new notes, including entitlement to all payments thereunder, as beneficial owner, pursuant to this exchange offer and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Tax Act”), (1) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada; (2) deals at arm’s length with the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Issuer General Partner and with any transferee resident (or deemed to be resident) in Canada to whom the holder disposes of the new notes; (3) does not use of hold the old notes or the new notes in a business carried on in Canada; and (4) is not a “specified non-resident shareholder” of Emera or the Issuer General Partner for purposes of the Tax Act or a non-resident person not dealing at arm’s length with a “specified shareholder” (within the meaning of subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act) of Emera or the Issuer General Partner (a “Non-Canadian Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a non-Canadian holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere. This summary assumes that no interest paid on the new notes will be in respect of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount to a person with whom the Issuer, Emera or the Issuer General Partner do not deal at arm’s length within the meaning of the Tax Act.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and on counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, administrative or judicial action nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, holders of notes should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

This summary does not address any Canadian federal income tax considerations applicable to a holder of old notes who exchanges old notes for new notes pursuant to this exchange offer and who, for purposes of the application of the Tax Act, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada. Accordingly, any such Canadian resident holder is urged to consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own circumstances and, in particular, with respect to the exchange of old notes for new notes.

Exchange of old notes for new notes

No tax will be payable by a Non-Canadian Holder on the exchange of old notes for new notes made pursuant to this exchange offer.

Holding and disposing of new notes

No Canadian withholding tax will apply to interest, principal or premium, if any, paid or credited to a Non-Canadian Holder on a new note or to the proceeds received by a Non-Canadian Holder on the disposition of a new note, including on a redemption, payment on maturity or repurchase.

No other tax on income or gains will be payable by a Non-Canadian Holder on interest, principal or premium, if any, on a new note or on the proceeds received by a Non-Canadian Holder on the disposition of a new note, including a redemption, payment on maturity or repurchase.

54

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes in the United States. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes in the United States received in exchange for old notes where the old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, all dealers effecting transactions in the new notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from any exchange of old notes for new notes or from any sale of new notes by broker-dealers. new notes received by broker-dealers for their own accounts pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of these methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of the new notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by these persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of 180 days after the expiration date, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the reasonable expenses of one counsel for the holders of the securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealer and will indemnify the holders of old notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

Indemnification of Certain Persons

Emera Incorporated is incorporated under the laws of Nova Scotia, Canada

Under Emera Incorporated’s (“Emera” or the “F-10 Registrant”) Amended Articles of Association, the F-10 Registrant must indemnify directors and officers, each former director and officer and each other individual who acts or acted at the F-10 Registrant’s request as a director or officer or in a similar capacity of an Other Entity (as defined below) and their respective heirs and legal representatives against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by any such person in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, arbitration, mediation, or other proceeding or investigation to which he is made a party or involved in by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the F-10 Registrant or such Other Entity at the request of the F-10 Registrant or in a similar capacity, provided that: (i) the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the F-10 Registrant or, as the case may be, to the best interest of the Other Entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the F-10 Registrant’s request; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds to believe that his conduct was lawful. The F-10 Registrant shall, to the full extent permitted by law, advance funds to an individual referred to above for any costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding or investigation provided that such individual shall repay the funds advanced if the individual does not fulfill the conditions of indemnification. The right of any person to indemnification granted is not exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, resolution or other vote of shareholders or directors, at law or otherwise; and the amount for which such indemnity is proved immediately attaches as a lien on the property of the F-10 Registrant and has priority against the members over all other claims. The term “Other Entity” means any affiliate or subsidiary of the F-10 Registrant, and any other body corporate, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, unincorporated association, unincorporated organization, unincorporated syndicate or other enterprise in which the F-10 Registrant, directly or indirectly, now or in the future, holds an interest, whether in debt, equity or otherwise, for which the director, officer or other individual serves or served as a director or officer or in a capacity similar thereto at the request of the F-10 Registrant. The F-10 Registrant is authorized to enter into an agreement evidencing and setting out the terms and conditions of an indemnity in favour of any of the persons referred to in the article regarding indemnification of its Amended Articles of Association. In addition, no director or officer of the F-10 Registrant shall, in the absence of any dishonesty on the part of such director or officer, be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or for joining in any receipt or other act for conformity, or for any loss or expense happening to the F-10 Registrant through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by order of the directors for or on behalf of the F-10 Registrant, or through the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the funds of the F-10 Registrant are invested, or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person with whom any funds, securities or effects are deposited, or for any loss occasioned by error of judgment or oversight on his or her part, or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which happens in the execution of the duties of his or her office or in relation thereto. The F-10 Registrant purchases directors’ and officers’ insurance which provides protection for directors and officers in cases where they incur a liability as a result of their activities on behalf of the F-10 Registrant.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Emera pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Emera has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Public Utilities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Delaware Registrants

Emera US Finance LP and Emera US Holdings Inc. are formed under the laws of Delaware.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders of monetary damages for violations of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care, except (i) for any breach of the directors’ duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

The certificate of incorporation of Emera US Holdings Inc. indemnifies advances and expenses to all current and former directors and officers of Emera US Holdings Inc. to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. Under Emera US Holdings Inc.’s (“EUSHI”) bylaws, EUSHI shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of EUSHI) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of EUSHI, or is or was serving at the request of EUSHI as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of EUSHI, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of EUSHI, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. EUSHI shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of EUSHI to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of EUSHI, or is or was serving at the request of EUSHI as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of EUSHI and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to EUSHI unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. EUSHI may, at the discretion of the board of directors, indemnify all employees and agents of EUSHI (other than directors and officers) to the extent that directors and officers shall be indemnified. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of EUSHI has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any such claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Any indemnification (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by EUSHI only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made (1) by majority vote of the directors who are not

S-4 II-1

parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by EUSHI in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by EUSHI. He shall not repay the amount if it shall be ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, EUSHI’s bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. EUSHI is authorized, according to the discretion of the board of directors, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of EUSHI, or is or was serving at the request of EUSHI as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not EUSHI must indemnify him against such liability.

Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the exhibit index, which appears elsewhere herein.

Item 22. Undertakings.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Form S-4 registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions set forth in Item 20 above, or otherwise, such registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by such registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Form S-4 registrants hereby undertake to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of the responding to the request.

The Form S-4 registrants hereby undertake to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being involved therein, that was not the subject of disclosure included in the registration statement when it became effective.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

27. If any shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment on or before the day appointed for payment, the Directors may at any time thereafter while the call or instalment remains unpaid serve a notice on such shareholder requiring the shareholder to pay the call or instalment together with any interest that may have accrued and all expenses that may have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment.

28. The notice shall name a day (not being less than fourteen days after the date of the notice) and a place or places on and at which such call or instalment and such interest and expenses are to be paid. The notice shall also state that, in the event of non-payment on or before the day and at the place or one of the places so named, the shares in respect of which the call was made or instalment is payable will be liable to be forfeited.

29.

30. When any share has been so forfeited, notice of the resolution shall be given to the shareholder in whose name it stood immediately prior to the forfeiture and an entry of the forfeiture shall be made in the Register.

32. Directors may at any time before any share so forfeited has been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, annul the forfeiture thereof upon such conditions as they think fit.

Any shareholder whose shares have been forfeited shall nevertheless be liable to pay and shall forthwith pay to the Company all calls, instalments, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares at the time of the forfeiture together with interest thereon at the rate of fifteen per cent per annum from the time of forfeiture until payment. The Directors may enforce such payment if they think fit, but are under no obligation to do so.

34. A certificate in writing under the hand of the Secretary stating that a share has been duly forfeited on a specified date in pursuance of these Articles and the time when it was forfeited shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons who would have been entitled to the share but for such forfeiture.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

39. The instrument of transfer of any share in the Company shall be signed by the transferor. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof and shall be entitled to receive any dividend declared thereon before the registration of the transfer.

47. Notwithstanding anything in these Articles, if the Company has only one member, not being one of several joint holders, and that member dies, the executors or administrators of such deceased member shall be entitled to register themselves in the Register as the holders of such deceased member’s share whereupon they shall have all the rights given by these Articles and law to members.

ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

52. Subject to the Act, the Reorganization Act, the provisions of this Article and Part B of these Articles, and the rights, if any, under the Act or other applicable law, of the holders of shares of any class or series of shares to vote separately as a class or series thereon, the Company may by resolution of its shareholders, add, change or remove any provision of its Memorandum to increase its share capital by the creation of new shares of such amount as it thinks expedient and may by special resolution, add, change or remove any provision of its Memorandum to:

- 10 -

(a) increase its share capital to authorize a new class of shares without nominal or par value, either stating the maximum number of shares of such class that the Company is authorized to issue or, where there is no limit on the number of shares of such class, a statement to that effect;

(b) change the maximum number of shares of a class of shares without nominal or par value that the Company is authorized to issue, which may include a change to or from an unlimited number of shares of that class;

(c) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amounts than its existing shares;

(d) change the shares of any classes, whether issued or unissued, into a different number of shares of the same class or into the same or different number of shares of another class;

(e) convert all or any of its paid-up shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid-up shares of any denomination or into shares without nominal or par value;

(f) subdivide its shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller amounts than is fixed by the Memorandum, so, however, that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share is derived, and the special resolution whereby any share is subdivided may determine that as between the holders of the shares resulting from such subdivision, one or more of such shares shall have some preference or special advantage as regards dividend, capital, voting or otherwise, over, or as compared with, the others or other;

(g) exchange shares of one denomination for another, including shares without nominal or par value;

(h) convert any part of its issued or unissued share capital into preferred shares redeemable or purchasable by the Company;

(i) except in the case of preferred shares, convert all or any of its previously authorized unissued or issued and fully paid-up shares with nominal or par value into the same number of shares without any nominal or par value and reduce, maintain or increase accordingly its liability on any of its shares so converted, but the power to reduce its liability on any of its shares so converted where it results in a reduction of paid-up capital may only be exercised in accordance with any applicable restriction in the Act;

(j) convert all or any of its previously authorized, unissued or issued, fully paid-up shares without nominal or par value into the same or a different number of shares with nominal or par value, and for such purpose the shares issued without nominal or par value and replaced by shares with a nominal or par value shall be considered as fully paid, but their aggregate par value shall not exceed the value of the net assets of the Company as represented by the shares without par value issued before the conversion;

- 11 -

(k) change the designation of all or any of its shares and add, change or remove any rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions including rights to accrued dividends, in respect of all or any of the shares, whether issued or unissued; or

(l) make any change or do anything which is permitted by, or not restricted by, the Act.

53. Subject to the Act, the Company may by resolution of its shareholders, add, change or remove any provision of its Memorandum to cancel shares that at the date of the passing of the resolution in that behalf, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person, and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

54. Where the shares of a class are issued in series, and any designation, rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attaching to any series of such shares are set out in the Memorandum, all provisions of these Articles respecting the creation, amendment, exchange, cancellation or other change of shares of any class, apply thereto.

55. Subject to the Act, the Reorganization Act, the provisions of this Article and Part B of these Articles, and the rights, if any, under the Act or other applicable law, of the holders of shares of any class or series of shares to vote separately as a class or series thereon and the restrictions on allotment and issuance in these Articles and the Memorandum, any shares authorized to be issued may be issued upon such terms and conditions and with such rights, privileges, limitations, restrictions and conditions attached thereto as the Company by resolution of its shareholders shall direct or, if no direction is given, as the Directors determine, and in particular such shares may be issued with a preferential or qualified right to dividends and in the distribution of assets of the Company, and with a special right, or without any right, of voting. Except as otherwise provided by the conditions of issue, or by these Articles, any capital raised by the creation of new shares shall be considered part of the original capital and shall be subject to the provisions herein contained with reference to payment of calls and instalments, transfer and transmission, forfeiture, surrender, lien and otherwise.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES AND OTHER REDUCTIONS OF CAPITAL

56. Subject to the Act, the Reorganization Act, the provisions of this Article and Part B of these Articles, and the rights, if any, under the Act or other applicable law, of the holders of shares of any class or series of shares to vote separately as a class or series thereon, the Company may reduce all or a portion of the paid-up capital on a class or series of shares, or certain shares of such class or series of shares, in any way and for any purpose. Where such reduction of paid-up capital is so authorized, the shareholders approving such reduction may in such authorizing resolution determine when the paid-up capital shall be reduced on the shares of the particular class or series of shares, or certain shares of such class or series of shares, the amount of paid-up capital to be reduced on each such share (where such does not necessarily follow from the determination of the amount reduced on the class or series as a whole) and the manner in which and purpose for which such reduction shall be effected. If the shareholders fail to determine any such matter in such resolution they may subsequently determine such matter by special resolution, failing which the Directors, or such persons as may be authorized by the shareholders by special resolution, may make any such determination or determinations not inconsistent with a prior determination of the shareholders as may

- 12 -

be necessary or desirable from time to time. The manner in which or purpose for which the reduction shall be effected may include, without limitation, any of the following:

(a) reducing or extinguishing any liability of the holders of any shares of any class or series including, without limitation, extinguishing or reducing the liability on any of such shares not paid-up;

(b) either with or without extinguishing or reducing liability on shares of any class or series, paying or distributing to the holder of an issued share of any such class or series of shares an amount not exceeding the paid-up capital thereof;

(c) declaring its paid-up capital to be reduced, without payment or distribution, by an amount that is lost or unrepresented by realizable assets, or by such other amount as the Company may see fit;

(d) paying cash or transferring other property;

(e) issuing other securities, debentures, bonds, securities, promissory notes or other indebtedness;

(f) increasing any share premium, contributed surplus or other surplus account; or

(g) providing a sinking fund on any terms thought fit for the redemption, purchase or acquisition of shares of any class or series.

Without limiting the foregoing but subject to the Act and any provisions attached to such shares, the Company may redeem, purchase or acquire any of its shares and the Directors may determine the manner and the terms for redeeming, purchasing or acquiring such shares and may provide a sinking fund on such terms as they think fit for the redemption, purchase or acquisition of shares of any class or series.

57. The amount of the reduction in the paid-up capital of the class or series of shares, or certain shares of such class or series of shares, including upon the purchase or redemption of any shares acquired by the Company, shall be recorded, or shall be deemed to have been recorded, in the accounts of the Company maintained or deemed to be maintained for such class or series of shares. Where the Company has issued more than one class or series of shares, the special resolution authorizing the reduction in paid-up capital must specify the capital account or accounts from which the paid-up capital returned, cancelled or otherwise extinguished will be deducted.

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

58. The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to a class or series of shares may be added to, changed or removed only with the prior approval of the holders of the issued shares of that class or series given as specified herein, in addition to any vote or authorization required by law. Any approval of the holders of the shares with respect to the modification of the rights, privileges, restrictions, and conditions attached to the shares may be given in such manner as may then be required by law, subject to a minimum requirement that such approval either (i) be given by resolution signed by all the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of the class or series, or (ii) passed by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of the shares who voted in respect of that resolution at a meeting of the holders of the shares duly called for that purpose at which the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the

- 13 -

outstanding shares of that class or series are present in person or represented by proxy, or, if such quorum is not present at such meeting, at an adjournment thereof at which the holders of shares of that class or series then present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum for all purposes. The formalities to be observed with respect to proxies, the giving of notice, voting, and the conduct of any such meeting or any adjourned meeting shall be those from time to time prescribed by these Articles or otherwise prescribed by law with respect to meetings of shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the rights, privileges, terms or conditions attached to a class or series of shares provide otherwise, the holders of shares of a class or of a series are not entitled to vote separately as a class or series to amend the Memorandum or these Articles to,

(a) increase or decrease any maximum number of authorized shares of such class or series, or increase any maximum number of authorized shares of a class or series having rights or privileges equal or superior to the shares of such class or series;

(b) effect an exchange, reclassification or cancellation of all or part of the shares of such class or series; or

(c) create a new class or series of shares equal or superior to such class or series.

This Article shall not be deemed by implication to limit, restrict or curtail the power of modification which the Company would have if this Article were omitted.

SURRENDER OF SHARES

59. The Directors may accept the surrender of any share by way of compromise of any question as to the holder being properly registered in respect thereof. Any share so surrendered may be disposed of in the same manner as a forfeited share.

BORROWING POWERS AND POWER OF GUARANTEE

60. The Directors on behalf of the Company may from time to time in their discretion:

(a) raise or borrow funds for any of the purposes of the Company;

(b) secure the repayment of funds so raised or borrowed in such manner and upon such terms and conditions in all respects as they think fit, and in particular by the execution and delivery of mortgages of the Company’s real or personal property, or by the issue of bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company secured by mortgage or other charge upon all or any part of the property of the Company, both present and future, including its uncalled capital for the time being;

(c) sign or endorse bills, notes, acceptances, cheques, contracts, and other evidence of or securities for funds borrowed or to be borrowed for the purposes aforesaid; and

(d) pledge debentures as security for loans.

61. Bonds, debentures and other securities may be made assignable, free from any equities between the Company and the person to whom such securities were issued.

- 14 -

62. Any bonds, debentures and other securities may be issued at a discount, premium or otherwise and with special privileges as to redemption, surrender, drawings, allotments of shares, attending and voting at general meetings of the Company, appointment of Directors and other matters.

63. The Directors may, from time to time and in their discretion:

(a) guarantee on behalf of the Company the performance of liabilities, contracts and loans of any kind whatsoever, and give any postponements required in connection with such a guarantee; and

(b) delegate authority to such officers and Directors of the Company and on such terms and conditions as they, in their sole discretion determine appropriate, to provide guarantees on behalf of the Company as set out in the preceding sub-paragraph including to give any postponements required in connection with such guarantees.

MEETINGS

64. Annual general meetings of the Company shall be held at least once in every calendar year at such time and place as may be determined by the Directors and not later than fifteen months after the preceding annual general meeting of the Company. All other meetings of the Company shall be called special general meetings. Annual or special general meetings may be held either within or without the Province of Nova Scotia.

65. The Directors may whenever they think fit, convene a special general meeting and they shall, upon the requisition of shareholders of the Company holding not less than five percent of the issued share capital of the Company in respect of whose shares all calls or other sums then due have been paid, or otherwise as provided in the Act, forthwith proceed to convene a special general meeting of the Company, to be held at such time and place as the Directors determine.

66. The requisition shall state the objects of the meeting requested, be signed by the shareholders making it and deposited at the Office. It may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more of the requisitionists.

67. If the Directors do not proceed to cause a meeting to be held within twenty-one days (21) days from the date that the requisition is so deposited, or within such longer period as may be permitted by applicable law, the requisitionists, or a majority of them in value, may themselves convene a meeting, provided it is held within three (3) months after the date of the deposit of the requisition.

68.

(a) No business may be transacted at an annual general meeting of shareholders, other than business that is either (i) specified in the Company’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual general meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual general meeting by any shareholder of the Company who complies with the proposal procedures set forth in this Article 68. For business to be properly brought before an annual general meeting by a shareholder of the Company, such shareholder must submit a proposal to the Company for inclusion in the

- 15 -

Company’s management proxy circular; provided that any proposal that includes nominations for the election of Directors shall be submitted to the Company in accordance with the requirements set forth in Article 69.

(b) At a special general meeting of shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board.

Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors of the Company may be made at any annual general meeting of shareholders, or at any special general meeting of shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special general meeting was called was the election of Directors:

(i) by or at the direction of the Board, including pursuant to a notice of meeting;

(ii) with respect to the Company the proposed nominee has one or more of the relationships described in Sections 1.4(3), 1.4(8) and 1.5 of National NI 52-110 and, if so, which ones.

(f) The chair of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the foregoing provisions and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with such foregoing provisions, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy holder of a Nominating Shareholder shall be entitled to nominate at a meeting of shareholders the Directors nominated by the Nominating Shareholder, provided that all of the requirements of this Article 69 have been satisfied. If the Nominating Shareholder or its duly appointed proxy holder does not attend at the meeting of shareholders to present the nomination, the nomination shall be disregarded notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination may have been received by the Company.

(g) In addition to the provisions of this Article 69, a Nominating Shareholder and any individual nominated by the Nominating Shareholder shall also comply with all of the applicable requirements of the Act, applicable securities laws and applicable stock exchange rules regarding the matters set forth herein.

- 18 -

Document Analysis and Retrieval at www.sedar.com or such other location as may be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time), and shall be deemed to have been given and made only at the time it is so served by personal delivery to the Corporate Secretary of the Company or sent by e-mail to such e-mail address (provided that receipt of confirmation of such transmission has been received); provided that if such delivery or electronic communication is made on a day which is a not a business day or later than 5:00 p.m. (Halifax Time) on a day which is a business day, then such delivery or electronic communication shall be deemed to have been made on the next following day that is a business day.

(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement in this Article 69.

70. At least twenty-one (21) days’ notice, or such shorter notice period as is fixed from time to time by the Directors and complies with all applicable laws, of every general meeting, specifying the place, day and hour of the meeting and, when special business is to be considered, the general nature of such business, shall be given to the shareholders entitled to be present at such meeting by notice given in accordance with the provisions of these Articles. Subject to any exemption authorized pursuant to the Act, when the Company is a reporting issuer it shall, concurrently with or prior to sending notice of a meeting of the Company, send a form of proxy to each shareholder who is entitled to receive notice of the meeting. With the consent in writing of all the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, a meeting may be convened by a shorter notice and in any manner the Directors think fit, or if all the shareholders are present at a meeting either in person or by proxy, notice of the time, place and purpose of the meeting may be waived. Any previously scheduled annual general meeting of shareholders may be postponed, and any shareholders’ meeting other than an annual general meeting of shareholders may be postponed or cancelled, by the Company by public notice given to the shareholders prior to the time previously scheduled for such meeting of shareholders.

71. The accidental omission to give any such notice to any of the shareholders or the failure of any shareholder to receive such notice shall not invalidate any resolution passed at any general meeting.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

72. The business of any annual general meeting shall be to receive and consider the financial statements of the Company and the reports of the Directors and auditors thereon, to elect Directors in the place of those retiring, to appoint auditors, and to transact any other business which under these Articles ought to be transacted at an annual general meeting.

73. If authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to any applicable law and such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, shareholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of shareholders may, by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately during the meeting, if the Company makes available such a communication facility: (a) participate in a meeting of shareholders; and (b) be deemed present in person at the meeting to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (c) vote at the meeting whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility, provided that (i) the Company

- 19 -

shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility is a shareholder or proxyholder, (ii) the Company shall implement reasonable measures to provide such shareholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings and to vote on matters submitted to the shareholders, and (iii) if any shareholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Company.

74. No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless the quorum requisite is present at the commencement of the business. A body corporate that is a member of the Company and has a duly authorized agent or representative present at any such meeting shall for the purpose of this Article be deemed to be personally present at such meeting.

75. Three members, where there are more than two members, personally present and entitled to vote shall be a quorum for a general meeting for the choice of a chair and the adjournment of the meeting. For all other purposes the quorum for a general meeting shall be three members personally present and entitled to vote and holding or representing by proxy not less than twenty-five per cent of such of the issued shares of the Company as confer upon the holders thereof the right to vote at such meeting.

76. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Chair of the Board shall be entitled to take the chair at every general meeting or, if there be no Chair of the Board, or if the Chair of the Board is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or declines to take the chair, the President, or if the President is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or declines to take the chair, a vice-president, shall be entitled to take the chair. If the Chair or the President or a vice-president is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or is present but declines to take the chair, the members present entitled to vote at the meeting shall choose another Director as chair of the meeting and, if no Director is present or if all the Directors present decline to take the chair, then the members present entitled to vote shall choose one of their number to be chair of the meeting.

77. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if it was convened pursuant to a requisition made pursuant to these Articles shall be dissolved; if it was convened in any other way, it shall stand adjourned to the same day, in the next week, at the same time and place. If at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present, those members entitled to vote who are present shall be a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was called.

78. Subject to the Act, at any general meeting a resolution put to the meeting may be decided by a show of hands unless, either before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands, a poll is demanded by the chair, a member or a proxyholder; and unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chair of the meeting that the resolution has been carried, carried by a particular majority, lost or not carried by a particular majority, and an entry to that effect in the Company’s book of proceedings shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour or against such resolution.

- 20 -

79. A poll shall be taken at the meeting in such manner as the chair of the meeting directs, and either at once or after an interval. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was taken. The demand of a poll may be withdrawn. When any dispute occurs over the admission or rejection of a vote, it shall be resolved by the chair and such determination made in good faith shall be final and conclusive. The demand of a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which a poll has been demanded.

80. When on any motion there is an equality of votes, the motion shall fail.

81. Any person entitled to vote at a general meeting where the Company has made available a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility for the purposes of attending and voting at such meeting may vote by means of the telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that the Company has made available for that purpose. Subject to any applicable law and such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, any vote referred to in these Articles may be held entirely by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility if the Company makes available such a communication facility, provided, in each case, that the facility: (i) enables the votes to be gathered in a manner that permits their subsequent verification; and (ii) permits the tallied votes to be presented to the Company.

82. The chair of a general meeting may, and if so directed by the meeting must, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting that was adjourned.

VOTES OF MEMBERS

83. Subject to the Reorganization Act and Part B of these Articles and the provisions applicable to any shares issued under conditions limiting or excluding the rights of the holders thereof to vote at general meetings, every member present in person or by proxy (including members deemed to be present) shall have one vote for every share held by such member. In computing the majority on a poll reference shall be had to the number of votes to which each member is entitled by their shares or by these Articles.

84. Any person entitled under Article 48 to transfer any shares may vote at any general meeting in respect thereof in the same manner as if such person were the registered holder of such shares so long as the person, at least forty-eight hours before the time of holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person proposes to vote, satisfies the Directors that such person has the right to transfer such shares.

85. Where there are joint registered holders of any share, any one of such persons may vote such share at any meeting, either personally or by proxy, as if such person were solely entitled to it. If more than one of such joint holders is present and voting in person at any meeting, the one whose name stands first on the Register in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote it. Several executors or administrators of a deceased member in whose name any share stands shall for the purpose of this Article be deemed joint holders thereof.

86. Votes may be cast either personally or by proxy or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative duly authorized under the Act.

- 21 -

87. A member of unsound mind in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction may vote by such member’s guardian or other person in the nature of a guardian appointed by that court and any such guardian or other person may vote by proxy.

88. Subject to the Act, no member shall be entitled to be present or to vote on any question, either personally or by proxy or as proxy for another member, at any meeting or be recognized for the purposes of a quorum while any call or other sum is due and payable to the Company in respect of any of the shares of such member.

PROXIES

89. A proxy shall be in writing and executed in the manner provided in the Act. A proxy or other authority of a corporate shareholder does not require its seal. The provisions of the Act, and the regulations made thereunder, relating to proxies shall otherwise apply to the Company.

90. The chair of any meeting of shareholders may, but need not, at his or her sole discretion, make determinations as to the acceptability of proxies deposited for use at the meeting, including the acceptability of proxies which may not strictly comply with the requirements of these Articles as to form, execution, accompanying documentation or otherwise, and any such determination made in good faith shall be final and conclusive. A proxy and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power or authority shall be deposited at the Office of the Company or at such other place as the Directors may direct. The Directors may, by resolution, fix a time not exceeding 48 hours excluding Saturdays and holidays, preceding any meeting or adjourned meeting before which time proxies to be used at that meeting must be deposited with the Company at its Office or with an agent of the Company. Notice of the requirement for depositing proxies shall be given in the notice calling the meeting. The chair of the meeting shall determine all questions as to validity of proxies and other instruments of authority. No instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid after the expiration of twelve months from the date of its execution. Notwithstanding any specified time limits for the deposit of proxies by shareholders, the chair of any meeting or the Chair of the Board may, but need not, at his, her or their sole discretion, waive the time limits for the deposit of proxies by shareholders, including any deadline set out in the notice calling the meeting of shareholders or in any proxy circular, and any such waiver made in good faith shall be final and conclusive.

91. A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death of the principal, the revocation of the proxy, or the transfer of the share in respect of which the vote is given, provided no intimation in writing of the death, revocation or transfer is received at the Office of the Company before the meeting or by the chair of the meeting before the vote is given.

92. Subject to Articles 90 and 94, every proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing that is received: (a) at the Office at any time up to and including the last business day before the day set for holding of the meeting at which the proxy is to be used; or (b) by the chair of the meeting, at the meeting, before any vote in respect of which the proxy is to be used shall have been taken.

93. An instrument referred to in Article 89 must be signed as follows: (a) if the shareholder for whom the proxy holder is appointed is an individual, the instrument must be signed by the shareholder or his or her legal personal representative; (b) if the shareholder for

- 22 -

whom the proxy holder is appointed is a body corporate, the instrument must be signed by the body corporate or by a representative appointed for the body corporate.

94. Every instrument of proxy, whether for a specified meeting or otherwise, shall be in such form as the Directors may from time to time determine and as required by law. Unless otherwise determined by the board in its sole discretion, no shareholder will be provided with access to any proxy materials relating to a meeting of shareholders prior to such meeting taking place. Upon the request of a shareholder not earlier than one day following a meeting of shareholders, the Company shall provide such shareholder with access to the proxies deposited with the Company in connection with such meeting.

RESOLUTIONS IN WRITING

95. A resolution, including a special resolution, in writing and signed by every shareholder who would be entitled to vote on the resolution at a meeting is as valid as if it were passed by such shareholders at a meeting and satisfied all the requirements of the Act and these Articles respecting meetings of shareholders. A Resolution so passed shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of all notices required to have been given for that meeting. The signature of a shareholder which is a body corporate shall be evidenced by the signature of an officer or officers, director or directors of such body corporate, or other person or persons authorized by the body corporate.

DIRECTORS

96. Unless otherwise determined by general meeting, the number of Directors shall be determined by the Board of Directors but shall not be less than eight nor more than fifteen provided however that the number of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are employees of the Company or of a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall not exceed two. No director may appoint any other person to act as his or her alternate to attend or vote at meetings of directors or otherwise act as a director in his or her absence.

97. The Directors shall have power to increase the number of Directors on the Board at any time and from time to time to appoint any one or more other persons as Directors so long as the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number permitted in Article 96. No such appointment shall be effective unless two-thirds of the Directors concur in it.

98. The Directors shall be paid out of the funds of the Company as remuneration for their service such sums, if any, as the Board may from time to time determine and such remuneration shall be divided among them in such proportions and in such manner as the Directors determine. Any remuneration so payable to a Director who is also an officer or employee of the Company or who is counsel or solicitor to the Company or otherwise serves it in a professional capacity may be in addition to the Director’s salary as an officer or professional fees as the case may be. In addition, the Board may by resolution from time to time award special remuneration out of the funds of the Company to any Director who performs or undertakes any special work or service for, or on behalf of, the Company outside the work or services ordinarily required of a Director of the Company. The Directors shall also be reimbursed for their out of pocket expenses incurred in attending Board, Committee or Shareholders’ meetings or otherwise in respect of the performance by them of their duties as the Board may from time to time determine. Notwithstanding Article 102, the Directors shall not be required to declare

- 23 -

their interest in nor shall the Directors be prohibited from voting in respect of the determination of their remuneration in accordance with this Article.

99. The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if the number of Directors falls below the minimum permitted under these Articles, the Directors shall not, except in emergencies or for the purpose of filling up vacancies, act so long as the number is below the minimum. If the number of Directors falls below the quorum requirement under these Articles, nominees shall be proposed by the continuing Directors, or any committee established by them for the purpose, for election at a meeting of shareholders of the Company and called pursuant to the Act.

100. A Director may, in conjunction with the office of Director, and on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Directors arrange or determine, hold any other office or position in the Company or in any body corporate in which the Company is a shareholder or is otherwise interested.

101. The office of a Director shall ipso facto be vacated:

(a) if such Director becomes bankrupt or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(b) if such Director is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be mentally incompetent or of unsound mind; or

(c) if by notice in writing to the Company such Director resigns the office of Director; or

(d) if such Director is removed by special resolution of the Company or as otherwise provided by law.

DIRECTORS’ INTEREST IN CONTRACTS

102. No Director shall be disqualified from contracting with the Company, either as vendor, purchaser, or otherwise, nor shall any such contract, or any contract or arrangement entered into or proposed to be entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director is in any way interested, either directly or indirectly, be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realized by any such contract or arrangement by reason only of such Director holding office as a Director of the Company or of the fiduciary relation thereby established. However, the existence and nature of the Director’s interest must be declared by such Director at a meeting of the Directors of the Company unless the contract, arrangement or transaction is one involving the fixing of remuneration payable to the Directors in their capacities as Directors (herein referred to as an “Excluded Transaction”). In the case of a proposed contract or transaction, other than an Excluded Transaction, any Director with an interest in the contract or transaction shall declare the interest of such Director at the meeting of Directors at which the matter is first taken into consideration, or if the Director was not then interested, at the next meeting held after the Director became so interested. A general notice given to the Directors by a Director that the Director is a member, shareholder or Director of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction or contract with such firm or company shall be deemed to be a sufficient declaration under this Article and no further or other notice shall be required. No Director shall as a Director vote in respect of any contract or arrangement in which the Director is so interested, and if the Director does so

- 24 -

vote, the vote shall not be counted. This prohibition may at any time or times be suspended or relaxed to any extent by a general meeting and shall not apply to any Excluded Transaction or any contract or arrangement by or on behalf of the Company to give to the Directors or any of them any security for advances or by way of indemnity.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

103. Subject to the next following Article, at the dissolution of every annual general meeting all the Directors shall retire from office and be succeeded by the Directors elected at such meeting. Retiring Directors shall be eligible for re-election at such meeting.

104. If at any annual general meeting at which an election of Directors ought to take place no such election takes place, or if no annual general meeting is held in any year or period of years, the retiring Directors shall continue in office until their successors are elected and a general meeting for that purpose may on notice be held at any time.

105. The Directors, or a committee established by them for the purpose, may nominate, and provide to the annual general meeting, nominees to be elected or re-elected as Directors. The Directors or any such committee shall nominate individuals who, in the reasonable opinion of the Directors or such committee, shall have the ability to contribute to the broad range of issues with which the Directors must deal and who are able to devote the time necessary to prepare for and attend meetings of the Board and committees of the Board to which they may be appointed.

106. The Company in general meeting may from time to time increase or reduce the number of Directors and may determine or alter their qualification.

107. The Company may, by special resolution or in any other manner permitted by law, remove any Director before the expiration of their period of office and appoint another person in their stead. The person so appointed shall hold office during such time only as the Director in whose place the person is appointed would have held office if the Director had not been removed.

108. If at any time, a vacancy occurs on the Board as a result of a Director ceasing to be a Director, the Board of Directors shall fill such vacancy, after receiving a recommendation from the nominating committee (if any has been established), by the appointment as a Director of an individual who meets the requirements of Article 105.

CHAIR OF THE BOARD

109. At the first meeting of the Directors of the Company following each annual general meeting of Shareholders, the Directors shall appoint a Chair of the Board from their number provided that such Chair is not an employee of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. The Chair of the Board shall perform such duties and receive such special remuneration as the Board may from time to time provide. At any meeting of Directors and at any meeting of shareholders, the Chair of the Board shall not have a casting vote in the event of an equality of votes.

PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT AND OTHER OFFICERS

110. The Directors shall elect from their number the President of the Company and may determine the period for which he or she is to hold office. The President shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall have general supervision of the

- 25 -

business of the Company and shall perform such duties as may be assigned to him or her from time to time by the Board.

111. The Directors may also appoint Vice-Presidents and determine the periods for which they are to hold office. A Vice-President need not be a Director and any Vice-President shall, at the request of the President or the Board and subject to the directions of the Board, perform the duties of the President during the absence, illness or incapacity of the President.

112. The Directors may appoint such other officer or officers of the Company, having such powers and duties, as they see fit.

113. If the Directors so decide, the same person may hold more than one of the offices provided for in these Articles.

PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS

114. The Directors may meet together for the dispatch of business, and adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings and proceedings as they think fit, provided that no business shall be transacted unless there is a quorum. A quorum for a meeting of the Board of Directors shall be a majority of the Directors in office at the commencement of the meeting.

115. Meetings of Directors may be held either within or without the Province of Nova Scotia and the Directors may from time to time make arrangements relating to the time and place of holding Directors’ meetings, the notices to be given for such meetings and what meetings may be held without notice. Unless otherwise provided by such arrangements:

(1)    A meeting of Directors may be held at the close of every annual general meeting of the Company without notice.

(2)    Notice of every other Directors’ meeting may be in writing and delivered by personal delivery, telex or facsimile transmission or electronic mail, or mailed, or may be given by telephone to each Director before the meeting is to take place. Such notice shall be delivered, transmitted, mailed or given by telephone at least forty-eight hours before the time fixed for the meeting.

(3)    A meeting of Directors may be held without formal notice if all the Directors are present or if those absent have signified their assent to such meeting or their consent to the business transacted at such meeting.

(4)    The accidental omission to give any such notice to any of the Directors or the failure of any Director to receive such notice shall not invalidate any resolution passed at any such meeting.

116. A Director may participate in meetings of the Board and in meetings of a Committee of the Board by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other during the meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, a meeting of the Board or of a committee of the Board may be held entirely by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility. A director participating in a meeting by such means shall be deemed to be present at that meeting.

- 26 -

117. The President or any other Director may at any time, and the Secretary, upon the request of the President or any other Director, shall summon a meeting of the Directors to be held at the Office of the Company. The Chair of the Board or a majority of the Board may at any time summon a meeting to be held elsewhere.

118. Questions arising at any meeting of Directors shall be decided by a majority of votes and when, on any motion before the Board, there is an equality of votes, the motion shall fail.

119. If no Chair of the Board is elected, or if at any meeting of Directors the Chair is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or declines to take the chair, the President shall preside. If neither the Chair nor the President is present at such time and willing to take the chair, the Directors present shall choose some one of their number to chair the meeting.

120. A meeting of the Directors at which a quorum is present shall be competent to exercise all or any of the authorities, powers and discretions for the time being vested in or exercisable by the Directors generally.

121. Any Director participating in a meeting by a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility may vote by any reasonable means (including verbal assent) given the nature of such telephonic, electronic or other communication facility.

122. A resolution in writing signed by all the Directors who would be entitled to vote thereon at a meeting of Directors shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors duly called and constituted. A resolution so effected shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any notice required under these Articles or the Act to have been given for such a meeting.

COMMITTEES

123. The Directors may establish from time to time such committees, including without limitation, an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and a Management Resources and Compensation Committee, as the Directors think fit and entrust to and confer upon any such committee established such powers exercisable under these Articles by the Directors as they think fit, and may confer such powers for such time, and to be exercised for such objects and purposes and upon such terms and conditions, and with such restrictions as they think expedient; and they may confer such powers either collaterally with, or to the exclusion of, and in substitution for, all or any of the powers of the Directors in that behalf; and may from time to time revoke, withdraw, alter or vary all or any of such powers. Any committee so formed shall in the exercise of the powers so entrusted upon them conform to any rules or regulations that may be imposed on them by the Directors or by these Articles.

124. The Directors, when establishing any committee, shall determine the membership thereof, which membership may include persons who hold a particular office or other position with the Company, if a director, from time to time. Members of committees shall have such terms of office as the Directors may establish or may serve at pleasure. The Directors may at any time and from time to time change the membership of any committee.

125. At least a majority of members of any committee of Directors appointed by the Board shall be Directors who are not employees of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate

- 27 -

of the Company. For greater certainty, unless expressly otherwise provided, the provisions of this Article apply to committees named in these Articles.

126. The meetings and proceedings of any such committee consisting of two or more Directors shall be governed by the provisions contained in these Articles for regulating the meetings and proceedings of the Directors, including notice and quorum, insofar as they are applicable and are not superseded by any rules or regulations made by the Directors. The Directors may make any rules or regulations which they see fit to govern meetings and proceedings of any committee and shall not be limited by the provisions of these Articles.

127. All acts done at any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors or by any person acting as a Director shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of the Directors or persons so acting, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director.

128. A resolution in writing signed by all the members of any committee established hereunder shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of such committee duly called and constituted. A Resolution so effected shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any notice required under these Articles or the Act to have been given for such a meeting.

129. Subject to rules and regulations established by the Directors from time to time with respect to such committee or applying to committees generally:

(a) Any committee shall choose one of its own members to be its Chair and the secretary.

(b) The times of and places where meetings of the committee shall be held and the calling of and procedure at such meetings, shall be determined from time to time by the committee.

(c) The committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report to the Board as required.

130. The members of any Audit Committee shall have the right for the purpose of performing their duties of inspecting all the books and records of the Company and its affiliates and of discussing such accounts and records and any matters relating to the financial position of the Company with the officers and auditors of the Company and its affiliates.

REGISTERS

131. The Directors shall cause to be kept at the Office or as may otherwise be permitted in accordance with the Act, the Register, a register of holders of bonds, debentures and securities of the Company and a register of its Directors and may cause to be kept branch registers, including branch registers of holders of bonds, debentures and securities, either within or without the Province of Nova Scotia in accordance with the Act. The Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents to maintain the Register, and any other registers and branch registers of the Company at any place within Canada.

132. The Directors shall:

- 28 -

(a) ensure that the Register and all other registers required by these Articles to be prepared and maintained are in a bound or loose-leaf form or in a photographic film form or entered or recorded by any system of mechanical or electronic data processing or other information storage device that is capable of reproducing in Nova Scotia any required information in intelligible written form within a reasonable time and, where applicable, conforms to the provisions of the Act; and

(b) cause the Company or its transfer agent to maintain within Nova Scotia an office or other facility at which the transfer of shares, bonds, debentures and securities of the Company may be effected.

133. The Directors shall cause minutes to be entered in books designated for the purpose:

(a) of all appointments of officers;

(b) of the names of the Directors present at each meeting of Directors and of any committees of Directors;

(c) of all orders made by the Directors and committees of Directors;

(d) of all resolutions and proceedings of meetings of the Shareholders and of the Directors.

134. Any such minutes of any meeting of the Directors or of any committee of the Directors or of the Company, if purporting to be signed by the chair of such meeting or by the chair of the next succeeding meeting, shall be receivable as prima facie evidence of the matters stated in such minutes. The Directors shall cause the books containing the minutes of proceedings of any general meeting of the Company to be kept at the Company’s Office or at such other place or places as designated by the Directors as permitted by the Act.

135. Any resolution of the Shareholders, the Directors, or a committee of the Directors, passed pursuant to the provisions of Articles 95, 122 or 128, shall be receivable as prima facie evidence of the matters stated therein.

POWER OF DIRECTORS

136. The management of the business of the Company shall be vested in the Directors who, in addition to the powers and authorities by these Articles or otherwise expressly conferred upon them, may exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Company and are not hereby or by statute expressly directed or required to be exercised or done by the Company in general meeting, but subject nevertheless to the provisions of any statute in that behalf and of the Memorandum and these Articles and to any regulations from time to time made by the Company in general meeting; provided that no regulation so made or modification of the Memorandum or these Articles shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors that would have been valid if such regulation or modification had not been made.

137. Without restricting the generality of the terms of the last preceding Article and without prejudice to the powers conferred thereby, and the other powers conferred by these Articles, the Directors shall have power:

(p) To give any officer or employee of the Company a commission on the profits of any particular business or transaction or a share in the general profits of the Company;

(q) To set aside out of the profits of the Company before declaring any dividend such amounts as they think proper as a reserve fund to meet contingencies or provide for dividends, depreciation, repairing, improving and maintaining any of the property of the Company and such other purposes as the Directors may in their absolute discretion think conducive to the interests of the Company; and to invest the amounts set aside in such investments, other than shares of the Company, as they may think fit, and from time to time to deal with and vary such investments, and to dispose of all or any part of them for the benefit of the Company, and to divide the reserve fund into such special funds as they think fit, with full power to employ the assets constituting the reserve fund in the business of the Company without being bound to keep them separate from the other assets;

SOLICITORS

138. The Company may employ or retain a solicitor or solicitors and such solicitor may, at the request of the Board of Directors or on instructions of the Chair of the Board, or the President, attend meetings of the Directors or Shareholders, whether or not the solicitor is a member or a Director of the Company. If such solicitor is also a Director, the solicitor may nevertheless charge for services rendered to the Company as a solicitor.

The Directors shall appoint a Secretary of the Company to keep the minutes of the shareholders’ and Directors’ meetings and perform such other duties as may be assigned to the Secretary by the Board.

- 32 -

DIVIDENDS

141. The Directors may from time to time declare such dividend as they deem proper upon the shares of the Company according to the rights of the members and the respective classes thereof, and may determine the date upon which such dividend will be payable and that it will be payable to the persons registered as the holders of such shares at the close of business upon the record date determined in accordance with Article 51. No transfer of such shares made or registered after the record date so specified shall pass any right to the dividend so declared.

142. The Company may declare or pay an otherwise lawful dividend, including without limitation from profits, retained earnings or other surplus account. The Directors may from time to time pay to the members such interim dividends as in their judgment the position of the Company justifies.

143. The Directors may deduct from the dividends payable to any member all such amounts as may be due and payable by the member to the Company on account of calls, instalments or otherwise, and may apply the same in or towards satisfaction of such amounts so due and payable.

144. The Directors may retain any dividends on which the Company has a lien, and may apply the same in or towards satisfaction of the debts, liabilities or engagements in respect of which the lien exists.

145. The Directors may retain the dividends payable upon shares in respect of which any person is under Article 48 entitled to become a member, or which any person under that clause is entitled to transfer, until such person has become a member in respect of or has duly transferred such shares.

146. Any meeting declaring a dividend may make a call on the members for such amount as the meeting fixes so long as the call on each member does not exceed the dividend payable to him or her. The call shall be made payable at the same time as the dividend and the dividend may, if so arranged between the Company and the member, be set off against the call. The making of a call under this Article shall be deemed to be and be business of a meeting which declares such a dividend.

147. Any meeting declaring a dividend may resolve that such dividend be paid wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets, paid up shares, debentures, bonds or other securities of the Company or paid up shares, debentures, bonds, or other securities of any other body corporate, or in any one or more of such ways.

148. Any meeting may resolve that any cash, investments or other assets forming part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of the reserve fund or in the hands of the Company and available for dividends or representing premiums received on the issue of shares and standing to the credit of share premium account, be capitalized and distributed to the members who would be entitled to receive them if distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions, that all or any part or such capitalized fund be applied on behalf of such members in paying up in full, either at par or at such premium as the resolution may provide, any unissued shares or debentures or other securities of the Company (which shall be distributed accordingly) or in or towards payment of the uncalled liability on any issued shares or debentures or other securities, and that such distribution or payment shall be accepted by such members in full satisfaction of their interest in such capitalized sum.

- 33 -

149. For the purpose of giving effect to any resolution under the two last preceding Articles, the Directors may settle any difficulty that may arise in regard to the distribution as they think expedient, and in particular may issue fractional certificates, may fix the value for distribution of any specific assets, may determine that cash payments will be made to any members upon the footing of the value so fixed or that fractions of less value than $5.00 may be disregarded in order to adjust the rights of all parties, and may vest any such cash or specific assets in trustees upon such trusts for the persons entitled to the dividend or capitalized fund as may seem expedient to the Directors.

150. A transfer of shares shall not pass the right to any dividend declared thereon after such transfer and before the registration of the transfer.

151. Any one of several persons registered as the joint holder of any share may give effectual receipts for all dividends and payments on account of dividends in respect of such share.

152.

(A) on any of the excess voting shares of that person or of any associate of that person; or

(B) if the directors of the Company determine that the contravention of the individual ownership constraint was intentional and that it would not be inequitable to do so, on all of the voting shares of that person and of each associate of that person;

and any entitlement to such dividend or other distribution shall be forfeited; and

(vi) the Company shall send a sell-down notice to the registered holder of the voting shares of that person and of each associate of that person.

(d) In the event that it appears from the register of members of the Company that, or in the event of a directors’ determination that, any person, together with the associates of that person, after any proposed subscription, issue or transfer of voting shares, would be in contravention of the individual share constraint, the Company shall not:

(i) accept the proposed subscription for voting shares from;

(ii) issue the proposed voting shares to; or

176.

(a) Non-residents shall not hold, beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, otherwise than by way of security only, in the aggregate voting shares to which are attached more than 25 per cent of the votes that may ordinarily be cast to elect directors of the Company. (The foregoing prohibition is referred to in this Part B as the “non-resident share constraint”.)

(b) In the event that it appears from the register of members of the Company that, or in the event of a directors’ determination that, there is a contravention of the non-resident share constraint:

(C) register or otherwise recognize the transfer of any voting shares from any resident to any non-resident.

(d) In the event that it appears from the register of members of the Company that, or in the event of a directors’ determination that, after any proposed subscription, issue or transfer of voting shares to a non-resident, there would be a contravention of the non-resident share constraint, the Company shall not:

- 41 -

controlled, directly or indirectly, by non-residents, all votes cast, in person or by proxy, in respect of such voting shares on that motion shall be proportionally adjusted so that such votes cast equal twenty-five percent of all votes cast. (The foregoing adjustment is referred to in this Part B as the “non-resident voting constraint”.)

SELL-DOWN NOTICE

178.

(a) Any notice (a “sell-down notice”) required to be sent to a registered holder of voting shares pursuant to Article 175(c)(vi) or Article 176(c):

(i) shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the contravention of the individual share constraint or the non-resident share constraint, as the case may be, the number of voting shares determined to be excess voting shares and the consequences of the contravention specified in Article 175 or 176, as the case may be;

(ii) shall request an initial or further shareholder’s declaration;

(iii) shall specify a date, which shall be not less than, in the case of a contravention of the individual share constraint, 45 days (or such shorter period as is fixed from time to time by the Directors and complies with all applicable laws), or, in the case of a contravention of the non-resident share constraint, 60 days (or such shorter period as is fixed from time to time by the Directors and complies with all applicable laws), after the date of the sell-down notice, by which the excess voting shares are to be sold or disposed of; and

(iv) shall state that unless the registered holder either:

(A) sells or otherwise disposes of the excess voting shares by the date specified in the sell-down notice on a basis that does not result in any contravention of the individual share constraint or the non-resident share constraint and provides to the Company, in addition to the shareholder’s declaration requested pursuant to Article 178(a)(ii), written evidence satisfactory to the Company of such sale or other disposition; or

(B) provides to the Company, in addition to the shareholder’s declaration requested pursuant to the Article 178(a)(ii), written evidence satisfactory to the Company that no such sale or other disposition of excess voting shares is required;

such default (a “shareholder default”) shall result in the consequence of suspension pursuant to Article 179 and may result in the consequence of sale in accordance with Article 180 or redemption in accordance with Article 181, in each case without further notice to the registered holder, and shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and timing of those consequences.

(b) In the event that, following the sending of a sell-down notice, written evidence is submitted to the Company for purposes of Article 178(a)(iv)(B), the Company

- 42 -

shall assess the evidence as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event shall give a second notice to the person submitting the evidence not later than 10 days after the receipt thereof stating whether the evidence has or has not satisfied the Company that no sale or other disposition of excess voting shares is required. If the evidence has so satisfied the Company, such sell-down notice shall be cancelled and such second notice shall so state. If the evidence has not so satisfied the Company, such second notice shall reiterate the statements required to be made in such sell-down notice pursuant to Articles 178(a)(iii) and (iv). In either case, the applicable periods referred to in Article 178(a)(iii) shall be automatically extended to the end of the 10 day period referred to in this Article 178(b) if such 10 day period extends beyond such otherwise applicable period.

(iv) the Company shall not send any form of proxy, information circular or financial statements of the Company or any other communication from the Company to any person in respect of such voting shares; and

(v) no person may exercise any other right or privilege ordinarily attached to such voting shares.

(All of the foregoing consequences of a shareholder default are referred to in this Part B as a “suspension”.) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a registered holder of suspended voting shares shall have the right to transfer such voting shares on any securities register of the Company on a basis that does not result in contravention of the individual share constraint or the non-resident share constraint.

(b) The Directors of the Company shall cancel any suspension of voting shares of a registered holder and reinstate the registered holder to the register of members of the Company for all purposes if they determine that, following the cancellation and reinstatement, none of such voting shares will be held, beneficially owned or controlled in contravention of the individual share constraint or the non-resident share constraint. For greater certainty, any such reinstatement shall permit, from and after the reinstatement, the exercise of all rights and privileges attached to the voting shares so reinstated but, subject to Article 184(a), shall have no retroactive effect.

- 43 -

SALE

180.

(a) In the event of a shareholder default in respect of any registered holder of voting shares, the Company may elect by directors’ determination to sell, on behalf of the registered holder, the excess voting shares thereof, without further notice thereto, on the terms set forth in this Article 180 and Article 182.

(b) The Company may sell any excess voting shares in accordance with this Article 180:

(i) on the principal stock exchange; or

(ii) if there is no principal stock exchange, on such other stock exchange or organized market on which the voting shares are then listed or traded as the directors of the Company shall determine; or

(iii) if the voting shares are not then listed on any stock exchange or traded on any organized market, in such other manner as the directors of the Company shall determine.

(c) The net proceeds of sale of excess voting shares sold in accordance with this Article 180 shall be the net proceeds after deduction of any commission, tax or other cost of sale.

(d) For all purposes of a sale of excess voting shares in accordance with this section, the Company is the agent and lawful attorney of the registered holder and the beneficial owner of the excess voting shares.

REDEMPTION

181.

(a) For the purposes of enforcing the ownership restrictions and constraints imposed pursuant to the foregoing articles and the Reorganization Act, in the event of a shareholder default in respect of any registered holder of voting shares and in the event that the Directors of the Company determine either that the Company has used reasonable efforts to sell excess voting shares in accordance with Article 180 but that such sale is impracticable or that it is likely that such sale would have material adverse consequences to the Company or the holders of voting shares, the Company may, notwithstanding section 51 of the Act, elect by directors’ determination, to redeem the excess voting shares thereof, without further notice thereto, on the terms set forth in this Article 181 and Article 182.

(b) The redemption price paid the Company to redeem any excess voting shares in accordance with this Article 181 shall be:

(i) the average of the closing prices per share of the voting shares on the principal stock exchange (or, if there is no principal stock exchange or if the requisite trading of voting shares has not occurred on the principal stock exchange, such other stock exchange or such other organized market on which such requisite trading has occurred as the directors of

- 44 -

the Company shall determine) over the last 10 trading days on which at least one board lot of voting shares has traded on the principal stock exchange (or such other stock exchange or such other organized market) in the period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

(ii) if the requisite trading of voting shares has not occurred on any stock exchange or other organized market, on such basis as the Directors of the Company shall determine.

PROCEDURES RELATING TO SALE AND REDEMPTION

182.

(a) In the event of any sale or redemption of excess voting shares in accordance with Article 180 or Article 181, respectively, the Company shall deposit an amount equal to the amount of the net proceeds of sale or the redemption price, respectively, in a special account in any bank or trust company in Canada selected by it. The amount of the deposit, less the reasonable costs of administration of the special account, shall be payable to the registered holder of the excess voting shares sold or redeemed on presentation and surrender by the registered holder to that bank or trust company of the certificate or certificates, if any, representing the excess voting shares. Any interest earned on any amount so deposited shall accrue to the benefit of the Company.

(b) From and after any deposit made pursuant to Article 182(a), the registered holder shall not be entitled to any of the remaining rights of a registered holder in respect of the excess voting shares sold or redeemed, other than the right to receive the funds so deposited on presentation and surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares sold or redeemed.

(c) If a part only of the voting shares represented by any certificate is sold or redeemed in accordance with Articles 180 or 181, respectively, the Company shall, on presentation and surrender of such certificate and at the expense of the registered holder, and subject to any regulations made by the Directors, issue a new certificate representing the balance of the voting shares.

(d) So soon as is reasonably practicable after, and, in any event, not later than 30 days (or such longer period as is fixed from time to time by the Directors and complies with all applicable laws) after, a deposit made pursuant to Article 182(a), the Company shall send a notice to the registered holder of the excess voting shares sold or redeemed and the notice shall state:

(i) that a specified number of voting shares has been sold or redeemed, as the case maybe;

(ii) the amount of the net proceeds of sale or the redemption price, respectively;

(iii) the name and address of the bank or trust company at which the Company has made the deposit of the net proceeds of sale or the redemption price, respectively; and

- 45 -

(iv) all other relevant particular of the sale or redemption, respectively.

(e) For greater certainty, the Company may sell or redeem excess voting shares in accordance with Articles 180 or 181, respectively, despite the fact that the Company does not possess the certificate or certificates, if any, representing the excess voting shares at the time of the sale or redemption. If, in accordance with Article 180, the Company sells excess voting shares without possession of the certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares, the Company shall, subject to any regulations made by the Directors, issue to the purchaser of such excess voting shares or its nominee a new certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares sold. If, in accordance with Articles 180 or 181, the Company sells or redeems excess voting shares without possession of the certificate or certificates representing the excess voting shares and, after the sale or redemption, a person establishes that it is a bona fide purchaser of the excess voting shares sold or redeemed, then, subject to applicable law:

(i) the excess voting shares held or beneficially owned by the bona fide purchaser are deemed to be, from the date of the sale or redemption by the Company, as the case may be, validly issued and outstanding voting shares in addition to the excess voting shares sold or redeemed; and

(ii) notwithstanding Article 182(b), the Company is entitled to the deposit made pursuant to Article 182(a) and, in the case of a sale in accordance with Article 180, shall add the amount of the deposit to the stated capital account for the class of voting shares issued.

EXCEPTIONS

183.

(a) Notwithstanding Article 175 or 176, neither the individual share constraint nor the non-resident share constraint applies in respect of voting shares of the Company that are held:

(i) by one or more underwriters solely for the purpose of distributing the voting shares to the public; or

(ii) by any person who provides centralized facilities for the clearing of trades in securities and is acting in relation to trades in the voting shares solely as an intermediary in the payment of funds or the delivery of securities, or both.

(b) A person referred to in Article 183(a)(ii) shall not exercise voting rights attached to the voting shares so held by that person.

SAVING PROVISIONS

184.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part B;

- 46 -

(i) the Directors of the Company may determine to pay a dividend or to make any other distribution on voting shares that would otherwise be prohibited by any other provision of this Part B where the contravention of the individual share constraint or the non-resident share constraint that gave rise to the prohibition was inadvertent or of a technical nature or it would otherwise be inequitable not to pay the dividend or make the distribution; and

(ii) where a dividend has not been paid or any other distribution has not been made on voting shares as a result of a directors’ determination of a contravention of the individual share constraint or the non-resident share constraint, or where the amount of a dividend or any other distribution has been restored to the Company pursuant to Article 175(e)(ii) as a result of a directors’ determination of a contravention of the individual share constraint, the Directors of the Company shall declare and pay the dividend, make the distribution, or refund the restored amount, respectively, if they subsequently determine that no such contravention occurred.

(b) In the event that the Company suspends or redeems voting shares in accordance with Article 179 or 181, respectively, or otherwise redeems, purchases for cancellation or otherwise acquires voting shares, and the result of such action is that any person and the associates of that person who, prior to such action, were not in contravention of the individual share constraint are, after such action, in contravention, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Part B, the sole consequence of such action to that person and the associates of that person, in respect of the voting shares of that person and of the associates of that person held, beneficially owned or controlled at the time of such action, shall be that the number of votes attached to those voting shares shall be reduced to a number that is the largest whole number of votes that may be attached to the voting shares which that person and the associates of that person could hold, beneficially own or control from time to time in compliance with the individual share constraint.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Part B, a contravention of the individual share constraint or the non-resident share constraint shall have no consequences except those that are expressly provided for in this Part B. For greater certainty but without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) no transfer, issue or ownership of, and no title to, voting shares;

(ii) no resolution of shareholders (except to the extent that the result thereof is affected as a result of a directors’ determination under Article 175(e)(i)); and

(iii) no act of the Company, including any transfer of property to or by the Company;

shall be invalid or otherwise affected by any contravention of the individual share constraint or the non-resident share constraint or the failure to make the adjustment required pursuant to the non-resident voting constraint.

- 47 -

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer , employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

- 7 -

(b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) The Corporation may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, indemnify all employees and agents of the Corporation (other than directors and officers) to the extent that directors and officers shall be indemnified pursuant to subsections (a) and (b).

(d) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this Article IX, Section 1, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(e) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this Article IX, Section 1 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b). Such determination shall be made (1) by majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

(f) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section. He shall not repay the amount if it shall be ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by this section.

- 8 -

(g) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(h) The Corporation is authorized, according to the discretion of the Board of Directors, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation must indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section.

(i) For purposes of this Section, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account maintained in the United States by the payee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on a global Security registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Principal paid in relation to any Security of this series at Stated Maturity shall be paid to the Holder of such Security only upon presentation and surrender of such Security to such office or agency referred to above.

As provided for in the Indenture, the Issuer may from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, the Holders of the Securities, create and issue additional Securities of this series under the Indenture, equal in rank to the Outstanding Securities of this series in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the new Securities of this series or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of the new Securities of this series) so that the new Securities of this series shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Outstanding Securities of this series and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Outstanding Securities of this series; provided that, if the additional Securities of this series are not fungible with the Outstanding Securities of this series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional Securities shall have a separate CUSIP and/or ISIN number.

The Issuer shall pay to the Holder of this Security (i) such Additional Amounts and other amounts as may be payable under Section 10.05 of the Original Indenture and (ii) such Additional Interest as may be payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Whenever in this Security there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (or premium, if any), interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to this Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts and/or Additional Interest to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts and/or Additional Interest are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

If (i) the closing of the Acquisition has not occurred by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Special Mandatory Redemption Triggering Date; or (ii) the Acquisition Agreement is terminated at any time prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Triggering Date, then the Issuer shall be required to redeem the Securities of this series, in whole, on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a Redemption Price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of this Security plus accrued and unpaid interest from and including the date of initial issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid, whichever later, to but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable Redemption Date, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.08 of the Original Indenture.

In the event of redemption of the Securities of this series in part only, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed in accordance with Section 11.03 of the Original Indenture.

In the case of any redemption of Securities of this series, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 11.06 of the Indenture. Securities of this series (or portions thereof) for whose redemption payment is made or duly provided for in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Securities do not have the benefit of sinking fund obligations.

Sections 14.02 and 14.03 of the Indenture shall be applicable to the Securities of this series, upon compliance by the Indenture with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

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 under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding affected by such amendment or modification. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities with respect to which a Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on this Security at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register of the Issuer, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

6

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

Prior to the time of due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer 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 is overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

If at any time, (i) the Depositary for the Securities of this series notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable or no longer qualified to continue as Depositary for the Securities of this series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of this series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, (ii) the Issuer determines that the Securities of this series shall no longer be represented by a global Security or Securities or (iii) any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities of this series, then in such event the Issuer will execute and Trustee will authenticate and deliver Securities of this series in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Security in exchange for this Security. Such Securities of this series in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and issued in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities of this series to the Persons in whose names such Securities of this series are so registered.

In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Securities under the Indenture, Holders of the Securities of this series shall have the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2016, among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the initial purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), including the right to receive additional interest as provided therein.

If the Securities of this series are redeemed on or after the 2046 Par Call Date, the Securities may be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

In the event of redemption of the Securities of this series in part only, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed in accordance with Section 11.03 of the Original Indenture.

Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

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

Prior to the time of due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer 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 is overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

If at any time, (i) the Depositary for the Securities of this series notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable or no longer qualified to continue as Depositary for the Securities of this series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of this series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, (ii) the Issuer determines that the Securities of this series shall no longer be represented by a global Security or Securities or (iii) any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities of this series, then in such event the Issuer will execute and Trustee will authenticate and deliver Securities of this series in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Security in exchange for this Security. Such Securities of this series in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and issued in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Emera US Finance LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), as issuer, and Emera Incorporated, a Nova Scotia company (“Emera”), and Emera US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EUSHI”), as guarantors (the “Guarantors”) in connection with the Partnership’s offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange its 2.150% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “New 2019 Notes”), 2.700% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “ New 2021 Notes”), 3.550% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “New 2026 Notes”) and 4.750% Senior Notes due 2046 (the “New 2046 Notes” and, together with the related guarantees by the Guarantors, (the “New Guarantees”), collectively, the “New Securities”), issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 16, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by a supplemental indenture dated as of June 16, 2016 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Partnership, the Guarantors and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as trustee, for any and all of its outstanding 2.150% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Old 2019 Notes”), 2.700% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Old 2021 Notes”), 3.550% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Old 2026 Notes”) and 4.750% Senior Notes due 2046 (the “Old 2046 Notes” and, together with the Old 2019 Notes, the Old 2021 Notes, the Old 2026 Notes and the related guarantees by the Guarantors (the “Old Guarantees”), collectively, the “Old Securities”) pursuant to the registration statement on Form F-10/S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Partnership and the Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We, as your counsel, have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (iv) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (v) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Partnership and the Guarantors that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vi) all representations made by the Partnership and the Guarantors as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.

2 December 1, 2016

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, assuming that the New Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Emera insofar as the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia are concerned, we are of the opinion that the New Securities, when the New Securities are executed, authenticated and delivered in exchange for the Old Securities in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Exchange Offer, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Partnership and the Guarantors, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and may be subject to possible judicial or regulatory actions giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights, provided that we express no opinion as to the (w) enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law, (x) effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above, and (y) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision that permits holders to collect any portion of stated principal amount upon acceleration of the New Securities to the extent determined to constitute unearned interest.

In connection with the opinions expressed above, we have assumed that (i) the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective and such effectiveness shall not have been suspended; (ii) the Indenture and the New Securities are each valid, binding and enforceable agreements of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Partnership and the Guarantors); and (iii) there shall not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the New Securities.

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York, and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware except that we express no opinion as to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Partnership and the Guarantors, the Exchange Offer or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to the Exchange Offer or any such party’s affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate. With respect to all matters of the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia and the federal laws of Canada, you have received, and we understand that you are relying upon, the opinion of Stephen D. Aftanas, Corporate Secretary of Emera.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to the reference to our name under the caption “Validity of Securities” in the prospectus, which is a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

i. Transfer and Exchange. When Certificates are presented to the Company with a request to register a transfer, the Company shall register the transfer or make the exchange on the register or transfer books of the Company; provided, that any Certificates presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to register the transfer, or exchange, any Certificate if as a result the transfer of the Common Interest at issue would cause the Company or the Member to violate the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act, or the laws, rules, regulations, orders and other directives of any Governmental Authority or otherwise violate the terms of this Agreement or the Shareholders Agreement.

j. Record Holder. Except to the extent that the Company shall have received written notice of an assignment of Common Interests and such assignment complies with the requirements of Section 7(a) of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to treat the individual or entity in whose name any Certificates issued by the Company stand on the books of the Company as the absolute owner thereof, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such Common Interests on the part of any other individual or entity.

ARTICLE 5

Profits, Losses and Distributions

a. Profits and Losses. For financial accounting and tax purposes, the Company’s net profits or net losses shall be determined on an annual basis in accordance with the manner determined by the Board. In each year, profits and losses shall be allocated entirely to the Member.

b. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“Claims”), in which the Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its management of the affairs of the Company or which relates to or arises out of the Company or its property, business or affairs. A Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 with respect to (i) any Claim with respect to which such Covered Person has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or (ii) any Claim initiated by such Covered Person unless such Claim (or part thereof) (A) was brought to enforce such Covered Person’s rights to indemnification hereunder or (B) was authorized or consented to by the Board. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending any Claim shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Claim upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Article 8.

c. Insurance. The Board in its discretion shall have the power to cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance in accordance with, and subject to, the Act and Banking Law.

d. Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Article 8 by the Member shall not adversely affect any rights of such Covered Person pursuant to this Article 8, including the right to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a Covered Person existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE 9

Miscellaneous

a. Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise determined by the Member, the Company shall be a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as well as for any analogous state or local tax purposes), and the Member and the Company shall timely make any and all necessary elections and filings for the Company to be treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as well as for any analogous state or local tax purposes).

b. Amendments. Amendments to this Agreement and to the Certificate of Formation shall be approved in writing by the Member. An amendment shall become effective as of the date specified in the approval of the Member or if none is specified as of the date of such approval or as otherwise provided in the Act.

c. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way unless such invalid or unenforceable provision or clause shall be so significant as to materially affect the expectations of the Member regarding this Agreement. Otherwise, any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by the Member with a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

d. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

e. Limited Liability Trust Company. The Member intends to form a limited liability trust company and does not intend to form a partnership under the laws of the State of New York or any other laws.

The Outstanding Notes are unconditionally guaranteed (the “Old Guarantees”) by the Guarantors and the Exchange Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed (the “New Guarantees”) by the Guarantors. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, the Guarantors offer to issue the New Guarantees with respect to all Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange Offer in exchange for the Old Guarantees of the Outstanding Notes for which such Exchange Notes are issued in the Exchange Offer. Throughout this Letter of Transmittal, unless the context otherwise requires and whether so expressed or not, references to the “Exchange Offer” include the Guarantors’ offer to exchange the New Guarantees for the Old Guarantees, references to the “Exchange Notes” include the related New Guarantees and references to the “Outstanding Notes” include the related Old Guarantees.

The New 2019 Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 2.150% per annum. The New 2021 Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 2.700% per annum.

The undersigned also acknowledges that the Exchange Offer is being made based on the Partnership’s understanding of an interpretation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, including Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (available June 5, 1991), Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter to Shearman & Sterling, dated July 2, 1993, or similar no-action letters, that the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Outstanding Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred in the United States by each holder thereof (other than a broker-dealer who acquires such Exchange Notes directly from the Partnership for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or any such holder that is an “affiliate” of the Partnership or the Guarantors within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holder’s business and such holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of such Exchange Notes and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes. If a holder of the Outstanding Notes is an affiliate of the Partnership or the Guarantors, is not acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business, is engaged in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such holder (x) may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC and (y) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any secondary resale transaction. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive the Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for the Outstanding Notes, it represents that the Outstanding Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange Notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale or transfer of such Exchange Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Partnership or the Exchange Agent to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of the tendered Outstanding Notes or transfer ownership of such Outstanding Notes on the account books maintained by the book-entry transfer facility. The undersigned further agrees that acceptance of any and all validly tendered Outstanding Notes by the Partnership and the issuance of Exchange Notes in exchange therefor shall constitute performance in full by the Partnership of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 16, 2016 among the Partnership, the Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the Outstanding Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and that the Partnership shall have no further obligations or liabilities thereunder except as provided in Section 5 (indemnification and contribution) of such agreement. The undersigned will comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” The undersigned recognizes that as a result of these conditions (which may be waived, in whole or in part, by the Partnership), as more particularly set forth in the Prospectus, the Partnership may not be required to exchange any of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby and, in such event, the Outstanding Notes not exchanged will be returned to the undersigned at the address shown above, promptly following the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer. In addition, the Partnership may amend the Exchange Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Date if any of the conditions set forth under “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Exchange Offer” occur.

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of the undersigned. Tendered Outstanding Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with the procedures set forth in the terms of this Letter of Transmittal.

Unless otherwise indicated herein in the box entitled “Special Registration Instructions” below, please deliver the Exchange Notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing the Outstanding Notes for any Outstanding Notes not exchanged) in the name of the undersigned or, in the case of a book-entry delivery of the Outstanding Notes, please credit the account indicated above. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” below, please send the Exchange Notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing the Outstanding Notes for any Outstanding Notes not exchanged) to the undersigned at the address shown above in the box entitled “Description of Outstanding Notes Tendered Herewith.”

FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

General

Please do not send certificates for Outstanding Notes directly to the Partnership. Your certificates for Outstanding Notes, together with your signed and completed Letter of Transmittal and any required supporting documents, should be mailed or otherwise delivered to the Exchange Agent at the address set forth on the first page hereof. The method of delivery of Outstanding Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents is at your sole option and risk and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Exchange Agent. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, or overnight or hand delivery service is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.

1. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Certificates; Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. A holder of Outstanding Notes (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include the book-entry transfer facility whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Outstanding Notes) may tender the same by (i) properly completing and signing this Letter of Transmittal or a facsimile hereof (all references in the Prospectus to the Letter of Transmittal shall be deemed to include a facsimile thereof) and delivering the same, together with the certificate or certificates, if applicable, representing the Outstanding Notes being tendered and any required signature guarantees and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, to the Exchange Agent at its address set forth above on or prior to the Expiration Date, (ii) complying with the procedure for book-entry transfer described below or (iii) complying with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Holders who wish to tender their Outstanding Notes and (i) whose Outstanding Notes are not immediately available or (ii) who cannot deliver their Outstanding Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date or (iii) who cannot comply with the book-entry transfer procedures on a timely basis, must tender their Outstanding Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery Procedures” in the Prospectus and by completing Box 3. Holders may tender their Outstanding Notes if: (i) the tender is made by or through an Eligible Guarantor Institution (as defined below); (ii) the Exchange Agent receives by mail or hand delivery, or, if no signatures must be guaranteed, facsimile transmission, on or prior to the Expiration Date, a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in the form provided or Agent’s Message regarding Notice of Guaranteed Delivery that (a) sets forth the name and address of the holder of Outstanding Notes, if applicable, the certificate number(s) of the Outstanding Notes to be tendered and the principal amount of Outstanding Notes tendered; (b) states that the tender is being made thereby; and (c) guarantees that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date, this Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, together with the Outstanding Notes, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal or a book-entry confirmation and Agent’s Message, will be deposited by the Eligible Guarantor Institution with the Exchange Agent; and (iii) the Exchange Agent receives a properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, or facsimile thereof, and the certificate(s) representing all tendered Outstanding Notes in proper form and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of the Outstanding Notes into the Exchange Agent’s account at the appropriate book-entry transfer facility and an Agent’s Message within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date.

Any Holder who wishes to tender Outstanding Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described above must ensure that the Exchange Agent receives the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery relating to such Outstanding Notes prior to the Expiration Date. Failure to complete the guaranteed delivery procedures outlined above will not, of itself, affect the validity or effect a revocation of any Letter of Transmittal form properly completed and executed by a holder who attempted to use the guaranteed delivery procedures.

No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. Each tendering holder, by tendering its Outstanding Notes, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of the Outstanding Notes for exchange.

2. Partial Tenders; Withdrawals. Tenders of Outstanding Notes will be accepted only in the principal amount of US$2,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. If less than the entire principal amount of Outstanding Notes evidenced by a submitted certificate is tendered, the tendering holder(s) must fill in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes tendered in the column entitled “Description of Outstanding Notes Tendered Herewith” in Box 1 above. A newly issued certificate for the Outstanding Notes submitted but not tendered will be sent to such holder promptly after the Expiration Date, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal. All Outstanding Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered in full unless otherwise clearly indicated. Outstanding Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date, after which tenders of Outstanding Notes are irrevocable.

To be effective with respect to the tender of Outstanding Notes, a written notice of withdrawal (which may be delivered by telegram, telex or facsimile if signatures are not required to be medallion guaranteed) must: (i) be received by the Exchange Agent at the address for the Exchange Agent set forth above before the Partnership notifies the Exchange Agent that it has accepted the tender of Outstanding Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer; (ii) specify the name of the person who tendered the Outstanding Notes to be withdrawn; (iii) identify the Outstanding Notes to be withdrawn (including the principal amount of such Outstanding Notes, or, if applicable, the certificate numbers shown on the particular certificates evidencing such Outstanding Notes and the principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented by such certificates); (iv) include a statement that such holder is withdrawing its election to have such Outstanding Notes exchanged; (v) specify the name in which any such Outstanding Notes are to be registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder; and (vi) be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on this Letter of Transmittal (including any required signature guarantee). The Exchange Agent will return the properly withdrawn Outstanding Notes promptly following receipt of notice of withdrawal. If Outstanding Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn Outstanding Notes or otherwise comply with the book-entry transfer facility’s procedures. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility of notices of withdrawals, including time of receipt, will be determined by the Partnership, and such determination will be final and binding on all parties.

Any Outstanding Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Any Outstanding Notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder (or, in the case of Outstanding Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent’s account at the book entry transfer facility pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described above, such Outstanding Notes will be credited to an account with such book-entry transfer facility specified by the holder) promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn Outstanding Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under the caption “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes” in the Prospectus at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

Neither the Partnership, any affiliate or assigns of the Partnership, the Exchange Agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give any notification of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give such notification (even if such notice is given to other persons).

3. Beneficial Owner Instructions. Only a holder of Outstanding Notes (i.e., a person in whose name Outstanding Notes are registered on the books of the registrar or, or, in the case of Outstanding Notes held through book-entry, such book-entry transfer facility specified by the holder), or the legal representative or attorney-in-fact of a holder, may execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal. Any beneficial owner of Outstanding Notes who wishes to accept the Exchange Offer must arrange promptly for the appropriate holder to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal on his or her behalf through the execution and delivery to the appropriate holder of the “Instructions to Registered Holder from Beneficial Owner” form accompanying this Letter of Transmittal.

4. Signature on this Letter of Transmittal; Written Instruments and Endorsements; Guarantee of Signatures. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include the book-entry transfer facility whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Outstanding Notes) of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond exactly with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificates (or on such security listing) without alteration, addition, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

If any of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If a number of Outstanding Notes registered in different names are tendered, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimiles hereof) as there are different registrations of

10

Outstanding Notes.

When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of Outstanding Notes (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include the book-entry transfer facility whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Outstanding Notes) listed and tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are required. If, however, this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Outstanding Notes listed or the Exchange Notes are to be issued, or any untendered Outstanding Notes are to be reissued, to a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Outstanding Notes, such Outstanding Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by separate written instruments of transfer or exchange in form satisfactory to the Partnership and duly executed by the registered holder, in each case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the Outstanding Notes and the signatures on such certificates must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution. If this Letter of Transmittal, any certificates or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Partnership, submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Partnership, in its sole discretion, of such persons’ authority to so act.

Endorsements on certificates for the Outstanding Notes or signatures on bond powers required by this Instruction 4 must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or another “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17A(d)-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (an “Eligible Guarantor Institution”).

Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution, unless Outstanding Notes are tendered: (i) by a registered holder (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include the book-entry transfer facility whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Outstanding Notes) who has not completed the box entitled “Special Registration Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal; or (ii) for the account of an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

5. Special Registration and Delivery Instructions. Tendering holders should indicate, in the applicable Box 6 or Box 7, the name and address in/to which the Exchange Notes and/or certificates for Outstanding Notes not exchanged are to be issued or sent, if different from the name(s) and address(es) of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the tax identification number or social security number of the person named must also be indicated. A holder tendering the Outstanding Notes by book-entry transfer may request that the Outstanding Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at the book-entry transfer facility as such holder may designate. See Box 4.

If no such instructions are given, the Exchange Notes (and any Outstanding Notes not tendered or not accepted) will be issued in the name of and sent to the holder signing this Letter of Transmittal or deposited into such holder’s account at the applicable book-entry transfer facility.

6. Transfer Taxes. The Partnership shall pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer and exchange of the Outstanding Notes to it or its order pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, certificates representing Outstanding Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of Outstanding Notes tendered, or the Exchange Notes are delivered to or issued in the name of a person other than the registered holder, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer and exchange of Outstanding Notes to the Partnership or its order pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Outstanding Notes listed in this Letter of Transmittal.

7. Waiver of Conditions. The Partnership reserves the absolute right to waive, in whole or in part, any of the conditions to the Exchange Offer set forth in the Prospectus.

8. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Securities. Any holder whose Outstanding Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, should promptly contact the Exchange Agent at the address set forth on the first page hereof for further instructions. The holder will then be instructed as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the certificate(s). This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost, destroyed or stolen

11

certificate(s) have been completed.

9. No Conditional Tenders; No Notice of Irregularities. No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Outstanding Notes for exchange. The Partnership reserves the right, in its reasonable judgment, to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Outstanding Notes. The Partnership’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Outstanding Notes must be cured within such time as the Partnership shall determine. Although the Partnership intends to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Outstanding Notes, neither the Partnership, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is under any obligation to give such notice nor shall they incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Outstanding Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Outstanding Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the tendering holder promptly following the Expiration Date.

10. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Questions relating to the procedure for tendering, as well as requests for additional copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address and telephone number set forth on the first page hereof.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR A FACSIMILE OR COPY THEREOF (TOGETHER WITH CERTIFICATES OF OUTSTANDING NOTES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS), OR A CONFIRMATION OF BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER AND AGENT’S MESSAGE OR A NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT ON OR PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION¹

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a tendering holder whose Outstanding Notes are accepted for exchange may be subject to backup withholding unless the holder provides the Exchange Agent with either (i) such holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on the Form W-9 attached hereto, certifying (A) that the TIN provided on Form W-9 is correct (or that such holder of Outstanding Notes is awaiting a TIN), (B) that the holder of Outstanding Notes is not subject to backup withholding because (x) such holder of Outstanding Notes is exempt from backup withholding, (y) such holder of Outstanding Notes has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (z) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder of Outstanding Notes that it is no longer subject to backup withholding and (C) that the holder of Outstanding Notes is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien) or (ii) an adequate basis for exemption from backup withholding.

A holder of Outstanding Notes (other than an exempt or foreign holder subject to the requirements described below) is required to give its TIN (in general, if an individual, the holder’s Social Security number, otherwise, the holder’s employer identification number). If the Outstanding Notes are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed Form W-9 for additional guidance on which number to report. If the holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such holder should follow the applicable instructions included with the Form W-9. If the Exchange Agent or the Issuer are not provided with the correct TIN, the holder may be subject to certain penalties, and any reportable payments that are made to such holder may be subject to backup withholding. The Exchange Agent will withhold 28% of all reportable payments made prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Exchange Agent and, if the Exchange Agent is not provided with a TIN within 60 days, such amounts will be paid over to the Internal Revenue Service.

Certain holders of Outstanding Notes (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign holders) are not subject to these backup withholding requirements. However, exempt holders of Outstanding Notes should indicate their exempt status on the Form W-9. For example, a U.S. corporation should complete the Form W-9, providing its TIN and indicating that it is exempt from backup withholding. In order for a foreign holder to qualify as an exempt recipient, the holder must submit a Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable Form W-8), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that holder’s exempt status. A Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable Form W-8) can be obtained from the Exchange Agent or from the IRS at www.irs.gov. See the enclosed Form W-9 or the instructions to the applicable Form W-8 for additional guidance. Holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are exempt from these backup withholding requirements.

¹  NTD: DPW Tax to review.

12

If backup withholding applies, the Exchange Agent will be required to withhold 28% of any reportable payments made to the holder of Outstanding Notes or other payee. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be credited with the amount withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service, provided the required information is furnished. The Exchange Agent cannot refund amounts withheld by reason of backup withholding.

An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)

• Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)

• Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)

14

• Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers)

• Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

• Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

• Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition)

• Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

• Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding? on page 2.

By signing the filled-out form, you:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and

4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting? on page 2 for further information.

Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2014) Page 2

Note. If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;

• An estate (other than a foreign estate); or

• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States:

• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;

• In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and

• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 28% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code on page 3 and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Also see Special rules for partnerships above.

What is FATCA reporting?

16

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code on page 3 and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions

Line 1

You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

If this Form W-9 is for a joint account, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9.

a. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

Note. ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application.

b. Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2.

c. Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C Corporation, or S Corporation. Enter the entity’s name as shown on the entity’s tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

d. Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

e. Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner’s name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner’s name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity name.” If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

17

Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2014) Page 3

Line 2

If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, you may enter it on line 2.

Line 3

Check the appropriate box in line 3 for the U.S. federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on line 1. Check only one box in line 3.

Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the name on line 1 is an LLC treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes, check the “Limited Liability Company” box and enter “P” in the space provided. If the LLC has filed Form 8832 or 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, check the “Limited Liability Company” box and in the space provided enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation. If it is a single-member LLC that is a disregarded entity, do not check the “Limited Liability Company” box; instead check the first box in line 3 “Individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC.”

Line 4, Exemptions

Consult with the person requesting this form if you are uncertain if the financial institution is subject to these requirements. A requester may indicate that a code is not required by providing you with a Form W-9 with “Not Applicable” (or any similar indication) written or printed on the line for a FATCA exemption code.

Line 5

Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns.

Line 6

Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on this page), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

19

Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2014) Page 4

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if items 1, 4, or 5 below indicate otherwise.

3. Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

4. Other payments. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. “Other payments” include payments made in the course of the requester’s trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

5. Mortgage interest paid by you, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, qualified tuition program payments (under section 529), IRA, Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA or HSA contributions or distributions, and pension distributions.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

20

• Protect your SSN,

• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

• Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).

Visit IRS.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.

Privacy Act Notice

Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information. Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions for use in administering their laws. The information also may be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payers must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payer. Certain penalties may also apply for providing false or fraudulent information.
