On
November 14, 2007 TC PipeLines GP, Inc., the General Partner of TC PipeLines,
LP
passed a resolution approving an amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement
of Limited Partnership dated as of May 28, 1999 (the “Partnership Agreement”) to
allow for participation in the issuance of book-based securities as required
by
NASDAQ effective January 1, 2008.
The
definition of certificate and the general certificates clause were amended
to permit the use of an uncertificated electronic registration system.
The
text
of the amendments is as follows:
The
definition of “Certificate” in Article I – Definitions, of the Partnership
Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“CERTIFICATE”
means a certificate or an uncertificated electronic registration system (i)
substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement, (ii) issued in global
form in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Depositary, (iii)
in
such other form as may be adopted by the General Partner in its discretion,
evidencing ownership of one or more Common Units, or in such form as may be
adopted by the General Partner in its discretion, evidencing ownership of one
or
more other Partnership Securities.
And,
A
new
sentence is added to the end of Section 4.1 – Certificate, of the
Partnership Agreement as follows:
Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 4.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, at the
General Partner’s discretion, the Partnership’s securities may be issued,
recorded and transferred by electronic or other means not involving the issuance
of physical Certificates. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
interpreted as reasonably required to implement such a system. For
example, no signature shall be required with respect to an uncertificated
electronic registration system.
