be fewer than 1,000,000 Series 13 Units outstanding after April 30,
2023, all remaining Series 13 Units will be automatically
reclassified into Series 14 Units on a one-for-one basis effective
April 30, 2023; or (ii) if Brookfield Renewable determines that
there would be fewer than 1,000,000 Series 14 Units outstanding
