EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO THE

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the general partner of the Managing General Partner approved a three-for-two unit split of the limited partnership units of BIP (“BIP LP Units”) by way of a subdivision of the outstanding BIP LP Units (the “LP Unit Split”) to be effective on June 10, 2022 (the “Effective Date”);

 

AND WHEREAS, the board of directors of the general partner of the Managing General Partner also approved a subdivision of the Partnership’s Managing General Partner Units, Redemption-Exchange Units and Special General Partner Units (each an “Infrastructure Partnership Interest”) so that the proportion of each type of Infrastructure Partnership Interest outstanding to the number of BIP LP Units outstanding prior to the Effective Date remains as close as possible after giving effect to the LP Unit Split and the rounding up of fractional interests thereunder (such split to be 3.00001986831353 for every two Infrastructure Partnership Units, based on the number of BIP LP Units held by registered holders as at June 6, 2022, the record date for the LP Unit Split) (the “Infrastructure Partnership Unit Split” and, together with the LP Unit Split, the “Unit Splits”);

 

AND WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the Agreement to adjust the First Distribution Threshold and the Second Distribution Threshold to reflect the Unit Splits;
