BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and TD Securities Inc., as co-lead underwriters (the “Co-Lead Underwriters”), and CIBC World Markets Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc., UBS Securities Canada Inc. and Canaccord Capital Corporation (together with the Co-Lead Underwriters, the “Underwriters”) understand that TransCanada Corporation (the “Corporation”) proposes to issue and sell 39,470,000 Subscription Receipts (as hereinafter defined) (the “Firm Securities”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the Underwriters hereby severally, but not jointly, agree to purchase from the Corporation, in the respective percentages provided for in Article 14 hereof, and by its acceptance hereof the Corporation agrees to sell to the Underwriters, at the Closing Time (as hereinafter defined), all but not less than all, of the Firm Securities at a price of $38.00 per Firm Security, being an aggregate purchase price of $1,499,860,000.00.

Upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Corporation hereby grants to the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to an additional 5,920,500 Subscription Receipts (the “Option Securities”) to cover over-allotments, if any, in the sale of the Firm Securities. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Calgary time, on the 30th day after the Closing Date by written notice from the Co-Lead Underwriters on the Underwriters’ behalf to the Corporation, setting forth the aggregate number of Option Securities to be purchased. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised, the Option Securities shall be purchased by the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, in the same proportion as their respective obligations to purchase the Firm Securities as set forth in Article 14 hereof. Option Securities may be purchased by the Underwriters only for the purpose of satisfying over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Firm Securities.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event all of the conditions to the closing of the ANR Acquisition are satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, the Corporation shall deliver Common Shares to the subscribers for Purchased Securities on the Closing Date in place of Subscription Receipts and the term “Purchased Securities” shall thereupon be read to mean Common Shares, mutatis mutandis.

We understand that the Corporation has filed a Base Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) relating to the qualification for distribution of the Securities (as hereinafter defined) in each of the

Provinces and Territories (as hereinafter defined), and a Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) relating to the offer and sale of the Securities in the United States, and is prepared:

(i) to authorize and issue the Purchased Securities (as hereinafter defined) and the Underlying Common Shares (as hereinafter defined); and

(ii) to prepare and file, without delay, (i) a (final) prospectus supplement and all necessary related documents in order to qualify the distribution of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares in each of the Provinces and Territories and (ii) a (final) prospectus supplement in relation to the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares with the SEC.

The purchase price for the Purchased Securities shall be payable to the Escrow Agent (as hereinafter defined) at the Closing Time.

In consideration of the Underwriters’ agreement to purchase the Purchased Securities and to offer them to the public, which agreement will result from the acceptance of this offer by the Corporation, and in consideration of the services rendered and to be rendered by the Underwriters in connection herewith, the Corporation agrees to pay to the Underwriters a fee (the “Underwriting Fee”) equal to 3.50% of the aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Securities, being an aggregate fee with respect to the Firm Securities of $52,495,100.00. Of the total Underwriting Fee, 50% will be payable at the Closing Time and 50% will be deposited by the Corporation in escrow and will be payable upon release to the Corporation by the Escrow Agent of the proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Securities pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if the ANR Acquisition is not completed and escrowed funds are refunded to purchasers, the Underwriting Fee shall consist solely of such 50% amount payable at the Closing Time and the amount deposited by the Corporation in escrow shall be refunded to the Corporation.

The services provided by the Underwriters in connection herewith will not be subject to the goods and services tax provided for in the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and taxable supplies provided will be incidental to the exempt financial services provided.

The gross purchase price for the Purchased Securities shall be paid by the Underwriters to the Escrow Agent, the Underwriters shall invoice the Corporation for the Underwriting Fee payable at the Closing Time and the Corporation shall pay such Underwriting Fee to the Underwriters from the Corporation’s general funds.

The agreement resulting from the acceptance of this letter by the Corporation (herein referred to as “this Agreement”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

10.1 In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Underwriters, the Underwriters (collectively, or any one of them individually) shall be entitled, at their option, to terminate and cancel their obligations under this Agreement, without any liability on their part, if prior to the Closing Time:

(b) any inquiry, investigation (whether formal or informal) or other proceeding in relation to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is announced or commenced or any order is issued by any Securities Commission or by any other competent authority, or there is any change of law or the interpretation or administration thereof by any such authority, if, in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any one of them) acting reasonably, the announcement, commencement or issuance thereof, or change, as the case may be, adversely affects the trading or distribution of the Purchased Securities or Underlying Common Shares;

(c) the Corporation shall be in breach of, default under or non-compliance with any material representation, warranty, covenant, term or condition of this Agreement or the Subscription Receipt Agreement;

(d) (i) there shall occur any change as is contemplated in section 6.1 hereof (other than a change related solely to the Underwriters) or, (ii) as a result of investigations after the date hereof, the Underwriters (or any one of them) determine that there exists any fact or circumstance which existed prior to the date hereof and had not been disclosed prior to the date hereof, which in their sole

opinion, acting reasonably, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price or value of the Subscription Receipts or Underlying Common Shares;

(e) there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence or any law or regulation which, in the opinion of the Underwriters (or any one of them) acting reasonably: (i) materially adversely affects, or involves, or will materially adversely affect, or involve, the financial markets in Canada or the United States or the business, operations or affairs of the Corporation and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole); or (ii) is expected to prevent, suspend or materially restrict the trading in the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares as contemplated by the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus.

Any such termination shall be effected by an Underwriter or the Underwriters giving written notice to the Corporation at any time prior to the Closing Time. In the event of a termination by the Underwriters pursuant to this section 10.1, there shall be no further liability on the part of the Underwriters or of the Corporation to the Underwriters except in respect of the payment of such of the expenses referred to in Article 13 hereof payable by the Corporation as shall previously have been incurred and any liability of the Corporation to the Underwriters which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Article 12 hereof.

The Underwriters may waive in whole or in part or extend the time for compliance with any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to their rights in respect of any other of such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters any such waiver or extension must be in writing.

Article 12
Indemnification and Contribution

12.1 The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Underwriters and the Underwriters’ directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or section 20 of the U.S. Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and individually, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all liabilities, claims, demands, losses (other than loss of profit in connection with the distribution of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares), costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, any legal or other

expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such liability, claim, demand, or loss) in any way caused by or arising directly or indirectly from or in consequence of:

(a) any information or statement (except any information or statement relating solely to the Underwriters or any of them) in the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or any Prospectus Amendment or in any other document incorporated therein by reference being or being alleged to be a misrepresentation or untrue, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein any fact or information (except facts or information relating solely to the Underwriters or any of them that has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Co-Lead Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein) required to be stated therein or necessary to make any of the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made;

(b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the U.S. Base Prospectus, the U.S. Final Prospectus, any Prospectus Amendment, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact (except facts or information relating solely to the Underwriters or any of them that has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Co-Lead Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein) required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(c) any order made or any inquiry, investigation or proceeding commenced or threatened by any securities, regulatory or other competent authority based upon any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation or alleged untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation (except a statement, omission or misrepresentation relating solely to the Underwriters or any of them that has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Co-Lead Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein) in the Public Record, preventing or restricting the trading in or the distribution of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares or any of them in any of the Provinces and Territories or in the United States;

(d) the Corporation not complying with any requirement of applicable Securities Laws or U.S. securities laws in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Corporation and its directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls the Corporation within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act and Section 20 of the

U.S. Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses (other than loss of profits), claims, damages and liabilities (including, without imitation, the legal fess and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relating solely to the Underwriters that has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Co-Lead Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein contained in the Prospectus Supplement or the U.S. Final Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement if the Corporation shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

The Corporation acknowledges that the statements set forth under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the ninth paragraph thereof in the Prospectus Supplement and the U.S. Final Prospectus constitute the only information and statements relating solely to the Underwriters that has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Co-Lead Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein.

In addition to and without limitation of the Corporation’s obligation to indemnify RBC Capital Markets Corporation as an Underwriter, the Corporation also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Independent Underwriter, its affiliates and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or Section 20 of the U.S. Exchange Act, from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, incurred as a result of the Independent Underwriter’s participation as a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the Conduct Rules of the NASD in connection with the offering of the Purchased Securities.

12.2 In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in section 12.1 hereof is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason to an Indemnified Party in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to therein, the Corporation shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (or, if such indemnity is unavailable only in respect of a portion of the amount so paid or payable, such portion of the amount so paid or payable) by such Indemnified Party as a result of such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses:

(a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the distribution of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares; or

(b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the matters or things referred to in section 12.1 hereof which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;

provided that the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the Underwriting Fee or any portion thereof actually received. The relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total net proceeds from the distribution of the Purchased Securities received by the Corporation is to the Underwriting Fee received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in section 12.1 hereof which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Corporation (including indirectly as aforesaid) or to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Underwriters and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in section 12.1 hereof. The Corporation and the Underwriters agree that RBC Capital Markets Corporation will not receive any additional benefits hereunder for serving as the Independent Underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Purchased Securities. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this section 12.2 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this section 12.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section 12.2, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

12.3 If any matter or thing contemplated by this Article 12 shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party concerned shall promptly notify the Corporation and the Underwriters of the nature of such claim (provided that any failure to so notify the Corporation promptly shall relieve the Corporation of liability under this Article 12 only to the extent that such failure prejudices the Corporation’s ability to defend such claim), and the Corporation shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) brought to enforce such claim. Any such defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party (whose acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) and no admission of liability or settlement shall be made by the Corporation or any Indemnified Party in respect of any Indemnified Party without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Corporation fails to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time; or (ii) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Corporation; or (iii) the named parties to any such suit or proceeding include the Indemnified Party as well as the Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall have received a written opinion from counsel acceptable to the Corporation (acting reasonably) that there may be one or more legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Corporation in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Corporation, the Corporation shall not

have the right to assume the defence of such suit or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party and shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party), it being understood, however, that the Corporation shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm for all such Indemnified Parties (other than local counsel); provided that if indemnity is sought pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 12.1, then, in addition to the fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties, the Corporation shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel and that of the other Indemnified Parties for the Independent Underwriter in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter” and all persons, if any, who control the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or Section 20 of U.S. Exchange Act in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances if, in the reasonable judgment of the Independent Underwriter, there may exist a conflict of interest between the Independent Underwriter and the other Indemnified Parties. Any such separate counsel for the Independent Underwriter and such control persons of the Independent Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Independent Underwriter. The Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or suit effected without its written consent. It is the intention of the Corporation to constitute each of the Underwriters as trustees, for the Underwriters’ directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees, and each person who controls any Underwriter of the covenants of the Corporation under sections 12.1 and 12.2 hereof with respect to the Underwriters’ directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees, and each person who controls any Underwriter, and the Underwriters agree to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.

The Corporation agrees that in case any legal proceedings or investigation shall be brought against or initiated against the Corporation by any governmental commission, regulatory authority, exchange, court or other authority and an Indemnified Person or other representative of any of the Underwriters shall be required to testify or respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with or relating to the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by one or more of the Underwriters, the Corporation agrees to pay the Underwriter the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Underwriter for the time spent by the personnel in connection therewith on a per diem basis and out-of-pocket expenses) in connection therewith.

12.4 Each Underwriter agrees that RBC Capital Markets Corporation shall have no additional liability to any Underwriter as a result of its serving as a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the Conduct Rules of the NASD in connection with the offering of the Purchased Securities. In addition, each Underwriter agrees to pay its proportionate share, based upon the respective underwriting obligations of the Underwriters, of any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever incurred by RBC Capital Markets Corporation in its capacity as Independent Underwriter.

12.5 The rights provided in this Article 12 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

Article 13
Expenses

13.1 If the transactions herein contemplated are completed, all expenses of or incidental to the issue and offering of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares shall be borne by the Corporation, including, without limitation, expenses payable in connection with the qualification of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares for distribution in the Provinces and Territories and in the United States; the preparation, printing, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares; if applicable, any registration or qualification of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several states (including filing fees relating to such registration and qualification); any filings required to be made with the NASD (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such filings); the travel, transportation and other expenses in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Purchased Securities; all other costs and expenses of the Corporation and its representatives incident to the performance by the Corporation of its obligations hereunder; the fees and expenses of counsel and auditors for the Corporation; listing fees; and all costs incurred in connection with the preparation, translation, printing, filing and delivery of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement, the U.S. Base Prospectus, the U.S. Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to any of them, excepting Underwriters’ out-of-pocket expenses and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters. The Underwriters’ reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters shall be paid by the Underwriters except that the Underwriters will be reimbursed by the Corporation for all of the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Underwriters (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel) if the sale of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares as contemplated herein is not completed other than by reason of default by any of the Underwriters.

Article 14
Several Obligations

14.1 The Underwriters’ obligations to purchase the Purchased Securities at the Closing Time shall be several and not joint and the Underwriters’ respective obligations in this respect shall be in the following percentages of the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Securities to be purchased at that time:

(a) less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate number of Purchased Securities agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, then each of the other Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase severally the Purchased Securities not taken up, on a pro ratabasis or as they may otherwise agree as between themselves; and

(b) greater than 10% of the aggregate number of Purchased Securities agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, then the remaining Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase such Purchased Securities, however, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, exercisable at their option, to purchase on a pro rata basis (or on such other basis as may be agreed to by the remaining Underwriters) all, but not less than all, of the Purchased Securities which would otherwise have been purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters;

and the remaining Underwriters shall also have the right, by notice in writing to the Corporation, to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding two business days.

Nothing in this Article 14 shall obligate the Corporation to sell to any or all of the Underwriters less than all of the Purchased Securities or shall relieve any of the Underwriters in default hereunder from liability to the Corporation or to any non-defaulting Underwriter in respect of its default hereunder. In the event of a termination by the Corporation of its obligations under this Agreement, there shall be no further liability on the part of the Corporation to the Underwriters except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Article 12 or Article 13 hereof.

ANNEX A

Opinion of Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP

(i) TransCanada PipeLine USA Ltd. and TransCanada Energy USA Inc. are corporations in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are chartered or organized.

(ii) Assuming the compliance of the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, with the requirements of the securities laws and regulations of the Province of Alberta and other requirements of Canadian law, the Registration Statement and the U.S. Final Prospectus (other than the financial statements, including schedules, and other financial and statistical information contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) appear on their face to be appropriately responsive as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; the Form F-X, as of its date, appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

(iii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, which has not been obtained, taken or made (other than as required by any state securities laws, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion) is required on the part of the Corporation under any Applicable Law for the issuance or sale of the Purchased Securities and the Underlying Common Shares or the performance by the Corporation of its obligations under this Agreement and the Subscription Receipt Agreement. For purposes of this opinion, the term “Governmental Authority” means any executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America. For purposes of this opinion, the term “Applicable Law” means those laws, rules and regulations of the United States of America and the State of New York, in each case which in our experience are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv) The Subscription Receipts and the Underlying Common Shares, when issued and delivered, will conform in all material respects to the description contained in each of the U.S. Final Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, under the caption “Description of the Securities Being Distributed “ and “Details of the Offering”.

(v) The Corporation is not and, after giving effect to the offering and the sale of the Subscription Receipts and the Underlying Common Shares and the application of their proceeds as described in each of the U.S. Final Prospectus and the Disclosure Package under the heading “Use of Proceeds,” will not be required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

(vi) The statements in each of the U.S. Final Prospectus and the Disclosure Package under the caption “Certain Income Tax Considerations — Certain United States Income Tax

Considerations,” to the extent that they constitute summaries of United States federal statutes, rules and regulations, or portions thereof, are accurate in all material respects.

(vii) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Subscription Receipt Agreement, nor the issue and sale of the Subscription Receipts and the Underlying Common Shares, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions herein contemplated nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Corporation or its subsidiaries pursuant to (i) the terms of such material agreements as are set out in Schedule A hereto or (ii) any United States federal or New York State statute, law, rule, or regulation known to such counsel to be applicable to the Offering, excluding the Corporation’s and any subsidiary’s specially regulated activities (as to which such counsel need express no opinion) or, to the knowledge of such counsel, any judgment, order or decree applicable to the Corporation or its subsidiaries of any United States federal or New York State court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Corporation or its subsidiaries or any of its or their properties in the United States, except, in the case of (i) or (ii), such conflicts, breaches, violations, liens, charges and encumbrances that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Such counsel will state that they have been advised by the SEC that the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act. Such counsel will further state that, to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened.

Such counsel will state that they have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus and in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Corporation, representatives of the independent chartered accountants for the Corporation, the Underwriters and representatives of the Underwriters at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Final Prospectus and related matters were discussed. Given the limitations inherent in the independent verification of factual matters and the character of determinations involved in the registration process, such counsel may state that they have not verified, and are not passing upon and do not assume responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in any of them (other than as explicitly stated in paragraph (vi) above), and have made no independent check or verification thereof. Subject to the foregoing and in the course of such participation (and relying as to materiality as to factual matters to the extent such counsel deems reasonable on officers, employees and other representatives of the Corporation), no facts have come to our attention to lead us to believe that (a) the Registration Statement, at its effective date and on the date of this Agreement, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) the U.S. Final Prospectus, as of the date the U.S. Final Prospectus was issued and as of the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or

omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (c) the Disclosure Package as of the Initial Sale Time and as of the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In each case, counsel need not express any belief as to (i) financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial and statistical information or data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus, (ii) or discussions of the regulation of the Corporation’s business under the federal and provincial laws of Canada in documents filed with the Securities Commissions or filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus. In connection with the foregoing, such counsel may state that it is the understanding of the addressees of such opinion that such counsel does not act as United States regulatory counsel of the Corporation and does not hold itself out as an expert on the regulation of the generation, transportation, distribution or delivery of natural gas, oil, electricity or other specially regulated commodities or services, including pipelines, transmission lines, storage facilities and related facilities and equipment, or the import or export of such commodities or services.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) exclude from such opinions the effect or applicability of any United States or Canadian federal, state and local laws, rules or regulations relating to the regulation of the generation, transportation, distribution or delivery of natural gas, oil, electricity or other specially regulated commodities or services, including pipelines, transmission lines, storage facilities and related facilities and equipment, or the import or export of such commodities or services, (B) rely as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York or the Federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and (C) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Corporation and public officials.
