 THIRTEENTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of June 12, 2020 (this “Supplemental
Indenture”), to the Indenture dated as of January 1, 2006 (the “Indenture”), by and among WESTLAKE CHEMICAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each of the potential guarantors named
therein and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”). 

Each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other parties and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined herein):

 WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee have duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Indenture to provide for the issuance from
time to time of the Company’s debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness to be issued in one or more series as in the Indenture provided (as defined therein, “Securities”); 

WHEREAS, the Company desires and has requested the Trustee to join it in the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture in order to
establish and provide for the issuance by the Company of a series of Securities designated as its 3.375% Senior Notes due 2030, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notes”), on the
terms set forth herein; 
 WHEREAS, Section 2.01 of the Indenture provides that a supplemental indenture may be entered into by the
Company and the Trustee for such purpose provided certain conditions are met; 
 WHEREAS, the conditions set forth in the Indenture for the
execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture have been complied with; and 
 WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this
Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Trustee, in accordance with its terms, and a valid amendment of, and supplement to, the Indenture have been done; 











 NOW, THEREFORE: 

In consideration of the premises and the purchase and acceptance of the Notes by the Holders thereof, the Company covenants and agrees with
the Trustee, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders, that the Indenture is supplemented and amended, to the extent expressed herein, as follows: 

ARTICLE ONE 
 Scope of
Supplemental Indenture; General 
 The changes, modifications and supplements to the Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture
shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes, which shall not be limited in aggregate principal amount, and shall not apply to any other Securities that may be issued under the Indenture unless a supplemental
indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements. Pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, there is hereby created and designated a series of Securities under the Indenture
entitled “3.375% Senior Notes due 2030.” The Notes shall be in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated into this Supplemental Indenture by reference. 

ARTICLE TWO 
 Certain
Definitions 
 The following terms have the meanings set forth below in this Supplemental Indenture. Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture. To the extent terms defined herein differ from the Indenture the terms defined herein will govern. 

“Applicable FATCA Law” has the meaning provided in Section 6.14. 

“Attributable Debt” means, as to any lease in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction under which any Person is at the
time liable, at any date as of which the amount thereof is to be determined, the total net amount of rent required to be paid by such Person under such lease during the remaining term thereof (or, if earlier, the first date upon which such lease may
be terminated without penalty), discounted from the respective due dates thereof to such date at the weighted average rate per annum borne by the Notes, compounded annually. The net amount of rent required to be paid under any such lease for any
such period shall be the aggregate amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to such period after excluding amounts required to be paid on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar
charges. Unless the Company elects to calculate the total amount of rent required to be paid through the first date upon which such lease may be terminated without penalty (if such a provision exists), in the case of any lease which is terminable by
the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated. 

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered and as a result the Notes cease to be rated
Investment Grade by each of the Rating

announcement by the Company of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following the consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended if the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced
consideration for possible downgrade by any Rating Agency on such 60th day, such extension to last with respect to each Rating Agency until the date on which such Rating Agency considering such possible downgrade either (x) rates the Notes
below Investment Grade or (y) publicly announces that it is no longer considering the Notes for possible downgrade; provided that no such extension will occur if on such 60th day the Notes are rated Investment Grade not subject to review for
possible downgrade by any Rating Agency); provided that a rating event will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition
of Change of Control Triggering Event contained in this Article Two) if each Rating Agency making the reduction in rating does not publicly announce or confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was the
result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating
Event). If any Rating Agency withdraws its rating on the Notes or otherwise ceases to provide a rating on the Notes on any day during the Trigger Period for any reason and the Company has not selected a replacement Rating Agency pursuant to the
terms of this Supplemental Indenture, the rating of such Rating Agency shall be deemed to be rated below Investment Grade on such day. 

“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, such “person” will

subsequent condition.

partnership interests (whether general or limited) or membership interests, respectively; and 
 (4)    any other
interest or participation that confers on a Person the right to receive a share of the profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, the issuing Person, but excluding from all of the foregoing any debt securities convertible into Capital
Stock, whether or not such debt securities include any right of participation with Capital Stock. 
 “Change of Control”
means the occurrence of any of the following after the date of this Supplemental Indenture: 
 (1)    the direct or

ownership, employee retirement, employee savings or similar plan and whose shares are voted in accordance with the instructions of such employee shall not be a member of a “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the
Exchange Act) solely because such employee’s shares are held by a trustee under said plan) becomes the ultimate Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of Voting Stock of the Company representing more than 50% of the voting power of the
outstanding Voting Stock of the Company; 
 (3)    the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or
any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or Voting Stock of such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash,
securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitutes, or is converted into or exchanged for, Voting Stock representing more than 50% of the
voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person or its parent immediately after giving effect to such transaction; 

(4)    during any period of 24 consecutive calendar months, the majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the
Company shall no longer be composed of individuals (a) who were members of the Board of Directors of the Company on the first day of such period or (b) whose election or nomination to the Board of Directors of the Company was approved by
individuals referred to in clause (a) above constituting, at the time of such election or nomination, at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or, if directors are nominated by a committee of the Board of Directors of the

(4) if any Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after the Redemption
Date, upon surrender for cancellation of such Security to the Paying Agent, a new Security or Securities in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued without charge to the Holder; 

(5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and the name and address of

a repurchase in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (b)    Within 30 days
following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall deliver a notice to
each Holder of Notes that were not redeemed, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will, among other things, state the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor
later than 60 days 

  
 -14-

the Change of Control Triggering Event and offer to repurchase the Notes. The notice, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being
consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. 
 (c)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the
Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
 (i)    accept or cause a third party to accept for payment all
Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

pursuant to the Change of Control Offer have been complied with. 
 (d)    The Company will not be required to make a
Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes if (i) a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer otherwise required to be made by the Company and such
third party purchases all such Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) a notice of redemption has been given to the Holders of all of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, unless and until there is a
default in payment of the Redemption Price. 
 (e)    A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of
Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place with respect to the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. 

(f)    The Company will comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a
Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

Westlake Chemical Corporation 

3.375% Senior Note due 2030 
 This Note is
one of a duly authorized issue of 3.375% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) of Westlake Chemical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in the
Indenture (as defined below). 
  

	1.	 Interest. 



The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Company shall pay such
interest semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2020. Interest will be paid on each such Interest Payment Date to the Persons who are registered Holders of the Notes at the close of
business on the June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”), even if such Interest Payment Date is a Redemption Date, Change of Control
Payment Date or other Maturity Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if
no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from June 12, 2020. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

 

	2.	 Method of Payment. 



Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments of the Redemption Price and Change of Control
Payment and principal due at Maturity in respect of the Notes to Holders who surrender such Notes to a Paying Agent to collect such payments; provided that if any Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date or other Maturity Date is an Interest
Payment Date, accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Holder as of the immediately preceding Regular Record Date. The Company will pay all amounts due in respect of the Notes in money of the United States of America that at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company will make such payments (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to any account maintained in the United States with respect to Notes evidenced by Global
Securities and any other Notes with any aggregate principal amount in excess of $1,000,000 the Holder of which has provided wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable payment date or
(ii) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any certificated Notes. 
  

	3.	 Paying Agent and Registrar. 



Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar at its
office at 601 Travis Street, 16th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

  
 A-5 













	4.	 Indenture. 



The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of January 1, 2006 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the
Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 12, 2020 (the “Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for
a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company
and are initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000. The Company may, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, issue additional Notes of the same series as the Notes from time to time without the consent of the Holders. The
Notes initially issued and any additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single series for all purposes of the Indenture, including, without limitation, with respect to waivers, amendments, supplements,
redemptions and offers to purchase, provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued for United States federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers from
the Notes initially issued. The Indenture provides for the issuance of other series of debt securities (including the Notes, the “Securities”) thereunder. 
  

	5.	 Optional Redemption. 



The Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to March 15, 2030 (three
months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes (the “Par Call Date”)), in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that the unredeemed portion of a Note must be in a minimum principal
amount of $2,000, for a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: 
  

	 	(a)	 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and 



 

	 	(b)	 the sum, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled
Payments on the Notes being redeemed that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points, 



in each case, plus, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to the Redemption Date. 

The Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the Par Call Date, in
principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that the unredeemed portion of a Note must be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to the Redemption Date. 

  
 A-6 













	6.	 Mandatory Redemption. 



The Company will not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

 

	7.	 Notice of Redemption. 



The Company shall deliver notice of a redemption not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to Holders of Notes to
be redeemed. Once notice of redemption is sent, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 

 

	8.	 Repurchase at the Option of Holder. 



 

	 	(a)	 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to
optionally redeem the Notes, each Holder will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion ($1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Change of Control Payment Date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on
the relevant Interest Payment Date; provided that the principal amount of a Note remaining outstanding after a repurchase in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 



 

	 	(b)	 Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the
Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to deliver a notice to each Holder of the Notes not redeemed, with a copy to the Trustee, which
notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will, among other things, state the Change of Control Payment Date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, other than
as may be required by applicable law, describe the transaction or transactions constituting the Change of Control Triggering Event and offer to repurchase the Notes. 



 

	9.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 



The Notes initially are issued in permanent global form. Under certain circumstances described in the Indenture, Notes may also be issued in
the form of certificated Notes in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any transfer taxes or similar governmental changes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption in whole
or in part (except the unredeemed portion of any Note to be redeemed in part) or any Notes during a period beginning 15 Business Days prior to the delivery of the relevant notice of redemption or repurchase and ending on the close of business on the
day of delivery such notice. 

  
 A-7 













	10.	 Persons Deemed Owners. 



The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 

 

	11.	 Amendment; Waiver. 



Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of all series affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class), and any existing or past Default or Event of Default under, or compliance with any provision
of, the Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) on or interest on the Securities) by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may
amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities in certain respects set forth in the Indenture. 
 Without the consent of each Holder
affected, the Company may not (i) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any
Security; (iii) reduce the principal of or premium on, or change the Stated Maturity of, any Security; (iv) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may or shall be
redeemed; (v) change any obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any Security; (vi) change the coin or currency in which any Security or any premium or interest with respect thereto is payable; (vii) impair
the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on any Security, except as provided in the Indenture; (viii) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Securities
necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or make any change in the provision for modification; or (ix) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest
on the Securities. 
 A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which has
expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities under the Indenture, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be
deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
  

	12.	 Defaults and Remedies. 



Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default in the payment of interest that continues for a period of 30 days;
(ii) default in any payment of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when due and payable; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with any of its other covenants or agreements in the Indenture or the Notes, which shall not have
been remedied within the specified time period after written notice; and (iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (iii) above, if outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities so affected), may declare the principal amount of all the Securities (or the Notes) to be due

and payable immediately, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default that will result in the principal amount of the Notes,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 
 As
set forth in, and subject to the provisions of, the Indenture, no Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or
for any other remedy thereunder, unless certain conditions set forth in the Indenture have been satisfied. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to certain
limitations (including that, in some cases, a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Securities (or the Notes) is required), Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities (or the Notes) have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting certain proceedings, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. 
  

	13.	 Trustee Dealings with the Company. 



Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  

	14.	 Discharge Prior to Maturity. 



The Indenture with respect to the Notes shall be discharged and canceled upon the payment of all of the Notes and shall be discharged except
for certain obligations upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of any combination of funds and U.S. Government Obligations sufficient for such payment as provided in the Indenture. 

 

	15.	 No Recourse Against Others. 



A director, officer, member, manager, employee, stockholder, partner or other owner of the Company or the Trustee, as such, shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, or for any obligations of the Company or the Trustee under the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issuance of Notes. 
  

	16.	 CUSIP Numbers. 



Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers
to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of
redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
  

	17.	 Abbreviations. 



Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
