Ladies and Gentlemen:

TransCanada Trust, a trust governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario (the “Trust”), proposes to sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you (the “Representatives”) are acting as representatives, the principal amount of its securities identified in Schedule I hereto (the “Trust Notes”), to be issued under a trust indenture dated as of May 20, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), between CST Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and the Trust (the “Offering”) as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), among the Trust, the Trustee and TransCanada PipeLines Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (the “Company”) (the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Trust Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis as to the payment of principal and interest by the Company (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”, and together with the Trust Notes, the “Securities”). To the extent there are no additional Underwriters listed on Schedule II other than you, the term Representatives as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Supplemental PREP Prospectus, the U.S. Supplemental Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus or the U.S. Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 4 of Form F-10 which were filed under the

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 4(a) above, if, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Canadian Final Prospectus or the U.S. Final Prospectus, each as

then amended or supplemented, or the Disclosure Package, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Canadian Final Prospectus, the U.S. Final Prospectus or the Disclosure Package to comply with Applicable Canadian Securities Law, the Act or the Exchange Act, each of the Trust and the Company will promptly (i) notify the Representatives of such event, (ii) prepare and file with the Reviewing Authorities and the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and (iii) supply any amended or supplemented Canadian Final Prospectus and U.S. Final Prospectus or Disclosure Package to the Representatives in such quantities as they may reasonably request;

(f) Each of the Trust and the Company agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with each of the Trust and the Company that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Trust or the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Trust or the Company with the Commission or retained by the Trust or the Company under Rule 433; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectus substantially in the form included in Schedule III hereto and in respect of Roadshows, if any, furnished to you before first use. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Trust or the Company is

6. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 5 hereof is not satisfied, or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Trust or the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company or the Trust will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Each of the Company and the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed, the Canadian Final Base PREP Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus, the U.S. Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Roadshow, or in all cases any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that neither the Trust nor the Company will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Trust or the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Trust or the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Trust and the Company, each of its directors, its officers, and each person who controls the Trust or the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Trust and the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Trust or the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. Each of the Trust and the Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the twenty ninth paragraph of the cover page regarding stabilization and concessions and the seventh paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Underwriting”, (i) the names listed in the table included in the first paragraph of the text, (ii) the fifth paragraph of text concerning concessions, (iii) the eighth paragraph of text concerning confirmation of sales to any account over which the Underwriters exercise discretionary authority, (iv) the third sentence in the ninth paragraph of text concerning market making by the Underwriters, and (v) the tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth paragraphs of text concerning short sales, stabilizing transactions and penalty bids, in the Canadian Final Base PREP Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Canadian Final Base PREP Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the U.S. Final Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus or any Roadshow.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Trust and the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively, “Losses”) to which the Trust and the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Trust and the Company, on the one hand, and by the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among Underwriters relating to the Offering) be responsible for any amount in excess of the total price at which the Securities underwritten and distributed to the public by such Underwriter was offered to the public. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Trust and the Company and the Underwriters severally shall

contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Trust and the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Trust and the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Trust, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Trust or the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Trust and the Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Trust or the Company within the meaning of the Act, each officer of the Trust or the Company and each director of the Trust or the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Trust and the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

8. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, then the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all of the unsold Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the non-defaulting Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Trust or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 8, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement, the Canadian Final Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Trust or the Company and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Trust prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time, (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock

Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on any of such Exchanges, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by authorities in the United States, Canada or New York state, (iii) there shall have occurred a change or development involving a prospective change in Canadian taxation affecting the Securities or the transfer thereof or the imposition of exchange controls by the United States or Canada, or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, except as existing with similar severity on the date hereof involving Canada or the United States, declaration by the United States or Canada of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis, except as existing with similar severity on the date hereof the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Canadian Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus.

10. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Trust, the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Trust or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

(ii) Assuming the compliance of the Canadian Final Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, with the requirements of the securities laws and regulations of the Provinces of Alberta and Ontario and other requirements of Canadian law, the Registration Statement, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it was declared effective, and the U.S. Supplemental 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 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 Trust or the Company under any Applicable Law for the issuance or sale of the Securities or the performance by each of the Trust and the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture, the Assignment and Set-Off Agreement and the Share Exchange 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) Assuming that the Base Indenture has been duly authorized by the Trust and that the Second Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized by each of the Trust and the Company, the Base Indenture (to the extent execution and delivery are governed by the laws of New York) has been duly executed and delivered by the Trust and the Second Supplemental Indenture (to the extent execution and delivery are governed by the laws of New York) has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Trust and the Company; the Indenture conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in each of the U.S. Final Prospectus and the Disclosure Package under

I-1

the caption “Description of the Trust Securities”. The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

(vi) Assuming that this Agreement has been duly authorized by each of the Trust and the Company, this Agreement (to the extent execution and delivery are governed by the laws of New York) has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Trust and the Company.

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

(x) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Indenture, nor the issue and sale of the Securities, nor the execution and delivery of the Assignment and Set-Off Agreement and the Share Exchange Agreement, 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 Trust or the Company 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 Trust’s and the Company’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 Trust or the Company or its subsidiaries of any United States federal or

I-2

New York State court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Trust or the Company 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 Trust or the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(xi) Neither the execution and delivery of the Letter Agreement, nor the consummation of any of the transactions therein contemplated nor the fulfillment of the terms thereof, will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of TransCanada 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 TransCanada 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 TransCanada 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 TransCanada 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 TransCanada Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Such counsel will state that they have been advised by the Commission 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 Trust and the Company, representatives of the independent chartered accountants for the Trust and the Company, 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 (ix) above), and have made no independent check or verification thereof (other than as explicitly stated in paragraphs (iv) and (v) above). 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 Trust and

I-3

the Company), no facts came to such counsel’s attention that caused them to believe that (a) the Registration Statement, at its effective date and at the Initial Sale Time, 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 its date 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 or (ii) discussions of the regulation of the Company’s business under the federal and provincial laws of Canada in documents filed with the Reviewing Authorities or filed with the Commission 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 Company 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, the General Corporation Law, the Limited Liability Company Act and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware 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 Company and public officials.

II-4

any jurisdiction relating to the same cause of action; and further provided that the New York judgment has not already been satisfied or is otherwise void under New York law; and further provided, that interest payable on a judgment debt may be limited by the proper or governing law of the respective contract or obligation and that a monetary judgment of courts of the Province of Alberta and the Province of Ontario may only be awarded in Canadian currency and that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. We have no reason to believe that the enforcement of any such judgment in respect of the Agreement, the Indenture or the Securities would be inconsistent with public policy as such term is understood under Applicable Law;

(xviii) in the event that the Agreement is sought to be enforced in any action or proceedings in the Province of Alberta or the Province of Ontario in accordance with the laws applicable thereto as chosen by the parties, namely the laws of the State of New York, the courts of the Province of Alberta and the Province of Ontario, as applicable, would recognize such choice of laws, provided that such choice of laws was bona fide and legal and not made with a view to avoiding the consequences of the laws of any other jurisdiction and provided that such choice is not contrary to public policy as such term is understood under Applicable Law. We have no reason to believe that such choice of laws was made for the purpose of avoiding the consequences of the laws of any other jurisdiction or that such choice of laws would be inconsistent with public policy as such term is understood under Applicable Law;

(xix) in the event that the Agreement is sought to be enforced in any action or proceeding in the Province of Alberta or the Province of Ontario in accordance with the laws applicable thereto as chosen by the parties, namely the laws of the State of New York, the courts of the Province of Alberta and the Province of Ontario, as applicable, would, subject to paragraph (xviii) above, apply the laws of the State of New York, upon appropriate evidence as to such laws being adduced, to all issues that, under the conflict of laws rules of Applicable Law, are to be determined in accordance with the proper or governing law of the respective contract or obligation, provided that (i) none of the provisions of the applicable document or the laws of the State of New York are contrary to public policy as such term is understood under Applicable Law and that performance is not illegal under the laws of the place where the obligations thereunder are to be performed, (ii) such courts will not apply New York law and will apply Applicable Law to matters which would be characterized under Applicable Law as procedural, (iii) such courts will apply provisions of Applicable Law that have overriding effect (e.g., insolvency laws), and (iv) such courts will not apply New York law if such application would be characterized under Applicable Law as the direct or indirect enforcement of a foreign revenue, expropriatory, penal or other public law or if its application would be contrary to public policy in Alberta or Ontario, as the case may be; and further provided, however, that interest payable on a judgment debt may be limited by the proper or governing law of the respective contract or obligation and that a monetary judgment of courts of the Province of Alberta and the Province of Ontario may only be awarded in Canadian currency. Courts in the Province of Alberta and the Province of Ontario have, however, an inherent power to decline to hear such an action or proceeding if it is

II-5

contrary to public policy, as such term is understood under Applicable Law for it to do so, or if it is not the proper forum to hear such action, or if concurrent proceedings are brought elsewhere. We have no reason to believe that any of the provisions of the Agreement are contrary to public policy as such term is understood under Applicable Law or that it would be inconsistent with public policy as such term is understood under Applicable Law for a court of the Province of Alberta or the Province of Ontario, as applicable, to hear an action or proceeding to enforce the Agreement;

(xx) the submission by each of the Trust and the Company to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts, contained in the Agreement would be recognized and given effect by the courts of the Province of Alberta and the Province of Ontario as a valid submission to the jurisdiction of such courts, provided that the applicable provisions, if any, of the Agreement respecting service of process on the Company are duly complied with; and

(xxi) the courts in the Province of Alberta and the Province of Ontario would recognize the appointment by each of the Trust and the Company of TransCanada PipeLine USA Ltd. as its agent for service of process in the United States of America under the Agreement.

In giving the opinions described above, such counsel may (A) exclude from such opinions the effect or applicability of any United States or Canadian federal, provincial, territorial, 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, including without limitation activities, businesses, operations or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries regulated by or subject to the jurisdiction of (i) the Canadian National Energy Board, (ii) the Alberta Utilities Commission or (iii) the Alberta Energy Regulator, (B) state that the opinions above are limited to the laws of the Province of Alberta, the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada therein, (C) rely solely upon the opinion of Mayer Brown LLP to be delivered pursuant to Section 5(b) of this Agreement with respect to all matters relating to the laws of the United States and the State of New York and (D) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials.

We refer to the proposed public offering (the “Offering”) of Trust Notes-Series 2016-A due 2076 (the “Trust Notes”) of TransCanada Trust (the “Trust”), a unit trust formed under the laws of Ontario, and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of TransCanada Corporation (“TCC”), and to the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) that the Trust and the Company (as defined below) expect to enter into with the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), for whom you will act as representatives. The Trust Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis as to the payment of principal and interest by TransCanada PipeLines Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (the “Company”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCC.

The Trust Notes will be issued under a trust indenture dated as of May 20, 2015 (the “Base Indenture”), between CST Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and the Trust, as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture to be dated as of the date of the closing of the Offering (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Trustee, the Trust and the Company. In connection with the Offering, TCC, the Trust, the Company and the Trustee will enter into an agreement (the “Assignment and Set-Off Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, each of TCC and the Company will covenant to refrain from declaring dividends on certain of its securities under certain circumstances specified in such agreement.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Underwriting Agreement.

V-1

Underwriting Agreement, TCC hereby makes the following representations and warranties and agrees with the Underwriters as follows:

1. TCC represents and warrants to each Underwriter that as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(a) TCC has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation under the laws of Canada and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of TCC and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

(b) TCC has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Letter Agreement and the Assignment and Set-Off Agreement; this Letter Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by TCC and constitutes, and the Assignment and Set-Off Agreement has been duly authorized by TCC and when executed and delivered by TCC, the Company, the Trust and the Trustee will constitute, a valid and legally binding instrument, enforceable against TCC in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyances or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and to the provisions of the Currency Act (Canada) or to the usury provisions of the Criminal Code (Canada); no registration, filing or recording of the Assignment and Set-Off Agreement under the laws of Canada or any province thereof is necessary in order to preserve or protect the validity or enforceability of the Assignment and Set-Off Agreement;

(c) TCC is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Trust Notes by the Trust and the application of the proceeds as described in the Canadian Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds,” and to the offering and sale of the TCPL Sub Notes by the Company and the application of the proceeds as described in the Canadian Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds,” will not be an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder;

(d) Neither the execution and delivery of the Assignment and Set-Off Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will conflict with or result in a breach or violation of or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of TCC pursuant to (i) the charter or by-laws of TCC, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which TCC is a party or bound or to which its property is subject, or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to TCC of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over TCC or any of its properties, except, in the case of (ii) or (iii), such breaches, violations, liens, charges or encumbrances as would not,

V-2

individually or in the aggregate, constitute a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of TCC and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; TCC is not in violation or default of (i) any provision of its articles or bylaws, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which it is a party or bound or to which its property is subject, or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over TCC or any of its properties, as applicable, except, in the case of (ii) or (iii) such violation or default as would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of TCC and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; other than the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company listed in Annex A to the Underwriting Agreement, TCC has no other “significant subsidiary” as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

2. TCC acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the purchase and sale of the Trust Notes from the Trust pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of TCC, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of TCC with respect to the offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising TCC on other matters) or any other obligation to TCC and (iv) TCC has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. TCC agrees that it will not claim that any Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to TCC, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

To the extent that TCC has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or

V-3

otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the above-referenced documents, to the extent permitted by law.
