WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Issuer, in accordance with its terms, have been done; and 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Partnership and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Notes.

“controlled by” and “under common control with”) when used with respect to any Person means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or
indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

“person” will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only
after the passage of time. The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have a corresponding meaning. For purposes of this definition, a Person shall be deemed not to Beneficially Own securities that are
the subject of a stock, unit or asset purchase agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement (or voting or option or similar agreement related thereto) until consummation of the transactions or, as applicable, series of related transactions
contemplated by such agreement.

 (3) with respect to any
other Person, the board or committee of such Person serving a similar function.

equivalents (however designated) of corporate stock; 
 (3) in the case of a partnership or limited liability company,
partnership interests (whether general or limited) or membership interests; 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: 
 (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or
consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act), other than a Qualified Owner; 
 (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Partnership or
the removal of the General Partner by the limited partners of the Partnership; or 
 (3) the consummation of any transaction (including any
merger or consolidation), the result of which is that any “person,” other than a Qualified Owner, becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Partnership, the General Partner or
Equitrans Midstream Corporation, measured by voting power rather than number of shares or member interests. 
 Notwithstanding the
preceding, (a) a conversion of the Partnership from a limited partnership to a corporation, limited liability company or other form of entity or an exchange of all of the outstanding limited partner interests for capital stock in a corporation,
for member interests in a limited liability company or for Equity Interests in such other form of entity shall not constitute a Change of Control, so long as following such conversion or exchange the “persons” (as defined above) who
Beneficially Owned the Capital Stock of the Partnership immediately prior to such transactions continue to Beneficially Own in the aggregate more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such entity, or continue to

“person” or “group” shall not be deemed to Beneficially Own securities subject to a stock, unit or asset purchase agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement (or voting or option or similar agreement related thereto) until
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such agreement or, as applicable, series of related transactions contemplated by such agreement. No Change of Control will be deemed to have occurred unless and until such Change of Control has
actually been consummated. 
 “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of a decrease in the rating of the
Notes by one or more gradations by any two Ratings Agencies (including gradations within the rating categories, as well as between categories), within 60 days after the earlier of (x) a Change of Control, (y) the date of public notice of
the occurrence of a Change of Control or (z) public notice of the intention of the Partnership to effect a Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is
under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by a Ratings Agency); provided, however, that a Change of Control Triggering Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in
respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Change of Control Triggering Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control) unless the Ratings Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition
would otherwise apply announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the request of the Partnership or the Trustee 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 applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the Change of Control Triggering Event).

 Section 1.04 Acts of Holders. 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Partnership and to the extent applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Partnership and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04. 
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of
any such instrument or writing may be proved (1) by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof or (2) in any other manner deemed reasonably sufficient by the Trustee. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute proof of the authority of the Person executing the same. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in
any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. 

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind every future
Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee, the Partnership or the Subsidiary
Guarantors in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 (e) The Partnership may set a record date
for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, or to vote on or consent to any action
authorized or permitted to be taken by Holders; provided that the Partnership may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or
direction referred to in clause (f) below. Unless otherwise specified, if not set by the Partnership prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or in the case of any such vote, prior to such
vote, any such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or vote or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation or vote. If any record date is set
pursuant to this clause (e), the Holders on such record date, and only such Holders, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action (including revocation of any
action), whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Notes, or each affected Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Partnership, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed
action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.01. 

(f) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to join in the giving or making of
(1) any notice of default under Section 6.01(a), (2) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 6.02, (3) any direction referred to in Section 6.05 or (4) any request to pursue a remedy as permitted in
Section 6.06. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; 

  
 -11- 













 
provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes or
each affected Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Partnership’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and
the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Partnership and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.01. 
 (g)
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which
may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have
the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part. 
 (h) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, a Holder, including a Depositary that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided
in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the Beneficial Owners of interests in any such Global Note through such Depositary’s standing
instructions and customary practices. 
 (i) The Partnership may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are
Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global Note held by a Depositary entitled under the procedures of such Depositary, if any, to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders; provided that if such a record date is fixed, only the Beneficial Owners of interests in such Global Note on such record date or their
duly appointed proxy or proxies shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Beneficial Owners remain Beneficial Owners of interests in such
Global Note after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date. 

(j) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day
as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 12.01, on or prior to both the existing and the new Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set
pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 90th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the
Expiration Date as provided in this Section 1.04(j).

Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.11, and otherwise as not prohibited by this Indenture. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3.

to this Indenture.

A-2 attached hereto by the manual, facsimile or electronic signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture.

co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Partnership may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Partnership
shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Partnership fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Partnership or
any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

interest on any of the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the Holders entitled to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Partnership shall promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act. The Partnership shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying
Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Partnership in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to
pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Partnership at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. If the
Partnership or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the
Partnership, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Partnership shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of

3.06 and 9.04). 
 (d) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or
Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Partnership, evidencing the same Debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 (e) Neither the Partnership nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to register the transfer of or to
exchange any Note so selected for redemption, or tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in connection with a Change of Control Offer, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in
part or (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 

(f) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Partnership may deem and treat the
Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Partnership shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (g) Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Partnership designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Partnership shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or

the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or
Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Partnership shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with
the provisions of Appendix A. 
 (i) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar
pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission.

 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Partnership shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the
Trustee’s requirements are otherwise met. If required by the Trustee or the Partnership, an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Partnership to protect the Partnership, the
Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Partnership may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Partnership and the Trustee in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is
a contractual obligation of the Partnership and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in
case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Partnership in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 
 (a)
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with
the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Partnership or an Affiliate of the Partnership holds the Note.

 (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York. 

(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to
accrue from and after the date of such payment. 
 (d) If a Paying Agent (other than the Partnership, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any
thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be
deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes
Beneficially Owned by the Partnership, or by any Affiliate of the Partnership, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver
or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Partnership or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Partnership or of such other obligor.

 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Partnership may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Partnership considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without
unreasonable delay, the Partnership shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits
accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 

The Partnership at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes
shall, upon the written request of the Partnership, be delivered to the Partnership. The Partnership may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 

(a) If the Partnership defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the
extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Partnership shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Partnership shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the
related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Partnership of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Partnership (or, upon the written request of the Partnership, the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Partnership) shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance
with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 

(b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon
registration of, transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest, which were carried by such other Note. 

Section 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers 

The Partnership in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN
numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in offers to purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or
as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or in offers to purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or offer to purchase shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Partnership shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

REDEMPTION 
 Section 3.01 Notices to
Trustee. 
 If the Partnership elects to redeem Notes of any series pursuant to Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at
least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03
(unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (1) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note or Section of this Indenture pursuant to
which the redemption shall occur, (2) the redemption date, (3) the principal amount of the Notes of such series to be redeemed and (4) the redemption price, if then ascertainable. 

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. 

(a) If less than all of the Notes of any series are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.07 or purchased in an offer to purchase at any
time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased (1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are
listed or (2) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to be fair and appropriate. In the
event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes of such series to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee
from the then outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. 
 (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Partnership in
writing of the Notes of any series selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes of such series
selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000; provided that no Notes of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that
apply to Notes of any series called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of such Notes called for redemption or purchase. 
 (c)
After the redemption date or purchase date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed or purchased in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the original Note, representing the same Debt to
the extent not redeemed or not purchased, shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption). 

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

(a) The Partnership shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause
to be mailed (or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) notices of redemption of Notes of any series not less than 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each
Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Article at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior
to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. 

  
 -18- 













 (b) The notice shall identify the Notes of any series to be redeemed (including CUSIP and
ISIN number, if applicable) and shall state: 
 (1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest; provided that in
connection with a redemption under Section 3.07(a), the notice need not set forth the redemption price but only the manner of calculation thereof; 

(3) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of such Note that is to be redeemed; 

(4) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(5) that Notes of any series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

 (6) that, unless the Partnership defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making
such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes of any series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; 

(7) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes of any series called
for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes of any series. 
 (c) At the Partnership’s request, the Trustee
shall give the notice of redemption in the Partnership’s name and at the Partnership’s expense; provided that the Partnership shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to
be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to
be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03(b). 
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes of any series called
for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. The notice, if mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether
or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption
of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes of any series or portions of Notes called for redemption.

 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. 

(a) No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date (or such later time as such date to which the Trustee may
reasonably agree), the Partnership shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes of any series to be redeemed or purchased on that
date. If a Note of such series is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date in respect of such Note will be paid on
such redemption or purchase date to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. The Paying Agent shall promptly send to each Holder whose Notes of such series are to be redeemed or repurchased the
applicable redemption or purchase price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Partnership any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Partnership in excess
of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes of such series to be redeemed or purchased. 

(b) If the Partnership complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease
to accrue on the Notes of any series or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note of such series is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date in respect of such Note will be paid on such redemption or purchase date to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note of any series
called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Partnership to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or
purchase date until such principal is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. 

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Note of any series that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Partnership shall issue and, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Partnership a new Note of such series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased
portion of the Note of such series surrendered representing the same Debt to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note of such series shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note. 

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. 

(a) The Notes of any series are subject to redemption, in whole or in part at any time before the applicable Par Call Date, at a redemption
price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes that would have been due
if such Notes matured on the applicable Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points in the case of the 2029 Notes, and the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points in the case of the 2031 Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, such redemption date. On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Partnership may redeem the Notes of the relevant series, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

 (b) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

Guarantors in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Partnership shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Partnership shall fail
to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

The Partnership may also from time to time designate additional offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or
all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Partnership shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

condition, business or results of operations of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (2) on the ability of the Partnership and any Subsidiary Guarantors to perform their respective obligations under the Notes or this
Indenture. 
 Section 4.04 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Partnership and each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the
Partnership and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 

Section 4.05 Existence. 
 Subject to
Article 5, the Partnership shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (1) its limited partnership existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of
each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Partnership or any such Subsidiary and (2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of
the Partnership and its Subsidiaries; provided that the Partnership shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any of its
Subsidiaries, if the Partnership in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

that the Partnership is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 
 (b) If the Partnership is
not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, then the Partnership may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.06 with respect to the information that would be required in Section 4.06(a) above by
posting such information on a publicly available website maintained by the Partnership or, so long as the Partnership is a consolidated Subsidiary (direct or indirect) of Equitrans Midstream Corporation (or any other direct or indirect parent

(d) In addition, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if the Partnership is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act, the Partnership shall furnish to all Holders and prospective purchasers of the Notes designated by the Holders of Notes, promptly upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)

(e) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of
such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Partnership’s compliance with any if its covenants hereunder (as to
which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). 
 Section 4.07 Compliance Certificate.

shall not permit any of its Principal Subsidiaries to, engage in a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, unless: 
 (1) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction
occurs within one year from the date of acquisition of the relevant Principal Property or the date of the completion of construction, development or substantial repair or improvement, or commencement of full operations on such Principal Property,
whichever is later, and the Partnership has elected to designate, as a credit against (but not exceeding) the purchase price or cost of construction, development, repair or improvement of such Principal Property, an amount equal to all or a portion
of the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction (with any such amount not being so designated to be applied as set forth in Section 4.09(3) below); 

(2) the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a Lien on the Principal Property subject to the
Sale-Leaseback Transaction in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or 

(3) the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary, within a 270-day period after such Sale-Leaseback
Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to (a) the prepayment, repayment, redemption or retirement of any unsubordinated Debt of the Partnership or any of
its Subsidiaries or (b) the investment in another Principal Property. 
 Section 4.10 Future Subsidiary Guarantors. 

(a) The Notes of each series initially shall not be entitled to the benefits of any Notes Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor contemplated by
Article 10 of this Indenture. 
 (b) If any Subsidiary of the Partnership that is not then a Subsidiary Guarantor provides a guarantee under
the Credit Agreement, then the Partnership shall cause such Subsidiary to promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in accordance with Article 10 to evidence its Note Guarantee and such Subsidiary shall be named as a
Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Notes of each series. 
 (c) Each Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10.06. 
 Section 4.11 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Partnership has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of
the Notes pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.07, the Partnership will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”), and each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Partnership to, repurchase all or any part (equal to
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of such Holder’s Notes. In the Change of Control Offer, the Partnership will offer a cash payment (a “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate


  
 -26- 













 
principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to, but excluding, the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement
Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Settlement Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control
Triggering Event, unless the Partnership has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.07, the Partnership will send a notice to each Holder of Notes and the Trustee describing the
transaction or transactions and identification of the ratings decline that together constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and providing the below information: 

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.11, the expiration time for such Change of
Control Offer (which shall be no earlier than 15 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to
such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for repurchase by the Partnership at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but
excluding, the Change of Control Settlement Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the applicable Record Date to receive interest due on the Change of Control Settlement Date) pursuant to Section 4.11(d) below; 

(2) the purchase date (which shall be no later than five Business Days after the date such Change of Control Offer expires);

 (3) that Notes must be tendered in integral multiples of $1,000, and any Note not properly tendered will remain
outstanding and continue to accrue interest (subject to clause (7) below); 
 (4) that, unless the Partnership defaults
in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Settlement Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such
Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to such Notes completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business
Day preceding the Change of Control Settlement Date; 
 (6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes
and their election to require the Partnership to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives at the address specified in the notice, not later than the expiration time of such Change of Control Offer, an electronic
transmission, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such
Notes purchased; 
 (7) that, if a Holder is tendering less than all of its Notes, such Holder will be issued new Notes equal
in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (the unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof); and 

(8) the other procedures, as determined by the Partnership, consistent with this Section 4.11 that a Holder must follow.


  
 -27- 













 The notice, if mailed or otherwise delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to
have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (A) the notice is mailed or otherwise delivered in a manner herein provided and (B) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is
defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. 

(b) Promptly following the expiration of the Change of Control Offer, the Partnership will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all Notes
or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly thereafter on or before the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Partnership will: 

(1) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly
tendered; and 
 (2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate
stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased by the Partnership. 
 (c) On the Change of Control
Settlement Date, the Paying Agent will mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or, if all the Notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of the Depository), and the
Trustee will authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unrepurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, however, that each new Note will
be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The Partnership will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Settlement Date.

 (d) If the Change of Control Settlement Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued
and unpaid interest to the Change of Control Settlement Date will be paid on the Change of Control Settlement Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. 

(e) Prior to making a Change of Control Payment, and as a condition to such payment, (1) the requisite lenders or holders of Debt incurred
or issued under a credit facility, an indenture or other agreement that may be violated by such payment shall have consented to such Change of Control Payment being made and waived the event of default, if any, caused by the Change of Control
Payment or (2) the Partnership will repay all outstanding Debt incurred or issued under a credit facility, an indenture or other agreement that may be violated by a Change of Control Payment or the Partnership will offer to repay all such Debt,
make payment to the lenders or holders of such Debt that accept such offer and obtain waivers of any event of default arising under the relevant credit facility, indenture or other agreement from the remaining lenders or holders of such Debt. The
Partnership covenants to effect such repayment or obtain such consent prior to making a Change of Control Payment, it being a default of the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture if the Partnership fails to comply with such covenant. 

(f) The Partnership will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party
makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.11 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Partnership and purchases all Notes properly
tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) in connection with, or in contemplation of any publicly announced Change of Control, the Partnership has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any
and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control 

  
 -28- 













 
Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, a Change of
Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control Triggering Event if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of
Control Offer is made. 
 (g) In the event that upon consummation of a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer less than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) that were originally issued are held by Holders other than the Partnership or its Affiliates, the Partnership will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’
prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer described in this Section 4.11, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a
redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment or Alternate Offer price, as applicable, plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but excluding,
the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date). 

(h) The Partnership will comply 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
securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of this Indenture, the Partnership will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations
under the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 (i) Other than as specifically
provided in this Section 4.11, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.11 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06.

 ARTICLE 6 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 6.01
Events of Default. 
 (a) Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes of each series:

 (1) default in the payment of interest on such Notes when due that continues for 30 days; 

(2) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any such Notes when due, whether at its Stated Maturity, upon

agreements with respect to such Notes contained in this Indenture after written notice by the Trustee or by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series; 

(4) (i) the Partnership, or if the series of Notes is entitled to the benefits of a Note Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor
that is a Significant Subsidiary, any such Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences a voluntary case; 

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; 

  
 -30- 













 (C) consents to the appointment of a Bankruptcy Custodian of it or for all
or substantially all of its property; or 
 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 

(ii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that remains unstayed and in effect
for 90 days and that: 
 (A) is for relief against the Partnership, or if the series of Notes is entitled to the benefits of
a Note Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, any such Subsidiary Guarantor as debtor in an involuntary case; 

(B) appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the Partnership or any such Subsidiary Guarantor or a Bankruptcy Custodian for all or
substantially all of the property of the Partnership or any such Subsidiary Guarantor; or 
 (C) orders the liquidation of
the Partnership or any such Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (5) if a series of Notes is Guaranteed by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is
a Significant Subsidiary, (a) the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect, except as otherwise provided in this Indenture; (b) the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor is declared null and
void in a judicial proceeding; or (c) such Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its Obligations under this Indenture or its Note Guarantee. 
 The
term “Bankruptcy Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 However, a
Default under Section 6.01(a)(3) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series notify the Partnership of the Default and the Partnership
does not cure such Default within the time specified in Section 6.01(a)(3) after receipt of such notice. 
 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(4)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by
written notice to the Partnership, specifying the Event of Default, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any series by notice to the Partnership and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of
such Holders shall, declare the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes of such series to be due and payable. Upon such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, will be due and payable. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes of any series if and so long as a committee of its Responsible
Officers, in good faith, determines acceleration is not in the interest of the Holders. 
 (b) In case an Event of Default described in
Section 6.01(a)(4) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes if each series will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
part of the Trustee or any Holders. 

  
 -31- 













 (c) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each series
may waive all past Events of Default (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium or interest) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes of such series and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with
any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series that have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. 
 Section 6.03 Other Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes of any series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such series or this Indenture. 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes of any series or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note of a series in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of
Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each series by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all
Holders waive any past or existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except: 
 (1) a continuing Default in the payment
of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note of such series held by a non-consenting Holder (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer); and 

(2) a Default with respect to a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder
affected, 
 provided that, subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series
may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment Default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee, or that the Trustee
determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

  
 -32- 













 Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of any series unless: 

(1) the Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default for such Notes; 

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series make a written request to the
Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) the Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee; 

(4) the Trustee fails to act for a period of 60 days after receipt of the request and offer of security or indemnity; and 

(5) during that 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of such
Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or
to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
on its Note of any series, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section 6.01(a)(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Partnership and any other obligor on the Notes of each series for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on such Notes, together with
interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee and its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and
the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted. 

  
 -33- 













 Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Partnership (or any other obligor
upon the Notes, including the Subsidiary Guarantors), its creditors or its property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any
money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.06. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 out of the estate in any such
proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such
proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.13 Priorities. 
 If the
Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 (1)
to the Trustee and its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;


  
 -34- 













 (3) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes of each series for
principal, premium, if any, and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 

(4) to the Partnership or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct, applicable. 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.13. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this Section 6.13, the Trustee shall cause notice of such record date and payment date to be given to the Partnership and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.01. 

Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to
Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of any series. 
 ARTICLE 7

 TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 Duties of
Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in

 (g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in
any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 
 (i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special,
indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action. 
 (j) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee received
written notice of any event which is in fact such a default at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

Section 7.03 May Hold Securities. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Partnership or its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. However, the Trustee is subject to Section 7.09. 

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes other than its certificate of authentication on the Notes. 

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 
 If
a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes of any series occurs and is continuing and it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit to Holders of Notes of such series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within
90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes of such series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of Notes of such series. 
 Section 7.06 Compensation
and Indemnity. 
 (a) The Partnership agrees to pay to the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder such
compensation as the Partnership and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Partnership agrees to reimburse the

administration of its duties under this Indenture, except as set forth in the next following paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Partnership promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice and for which it may
seek indemnity. The Partnership shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Partnership shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Partnership need not pay
for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except for money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest on Notes of any series. Such Lien and the Partnership’s obligations under this Section 7.06
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 (e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(4) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee. 

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. The Trustee may resign and be discharged at any time with respect to the Notes of one or more series by so notifying the Partnership. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Partnership in writing. The Partnership may remove the Trustee if: 

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a Bankruptcy Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

(b) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to the Notes of one or
more series, the Partnership shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Notes of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Notes of one or more or
all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Notes of any particular series). 

  
 -38- 













 
Within one year after the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then
outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Partnership. 
 (c) If a successor Trustee with
respect to the Notes of any series does not take office within 30 days after the retiring or removed Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring or removed Trustee (at the expense of the Partnership), the Partnership or the Holders of at least 10%
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series. 

(d) If the Trustee with respect to the Notes of a series fails to comply with Section 7.09, any Holder of Notes of such series may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series. 

(e) In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to all Notes, each such successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance
of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Partnership. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall transmit a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, upon payment of its charges hereunder and
subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06. 
 (f) In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of
one or more (but not all) series, the Partnership, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more (but not all) series shall execute and deliver a supplemental indenture in which each successor Trustee shall
accept such appointment and that (1) shall confer to each successor Trustee all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates,
(2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Notes, shall confirm that all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not
retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee. Nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees as co-trustees of the same trust, and each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and
apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein
and each such successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. On request of the Partnership or any
successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall transfer to such successor Trustee all property held by such retiring Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.
Such retiring Trustee shall, however, have the right to deduct its unpaid fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. 
 (g)
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees pursuant to this Section 7.07, the obligations of the Partnership under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Trustees. 

(h) As used in this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall also include each Agent.

 Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 

Subject to Section 7.09, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate
trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that in the case of a transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to
another corporation, the transferee corporation expressly assumes all of the Trustee’s liabilities hereunder. 
 In case any Notes
shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated; and in case at
that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

Section 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, shall be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state (or the District of Columbia) authority and
shall have, or be a subsidiary of a bank or bank holding company having, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

The Partnership may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 applied to all outstanding
Notes of a series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 

(a) Upon the Partnership’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Partnership and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to the Indenture, all outstanding Notes of each series and Note
Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Partnership shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the
outstanding Notes of such series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) through (4) below, and to have
satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture, including that of the Subsidiary Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Partnership, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same),
except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 

  
 -40- 













 (1) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of each series when such payments are due, solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04; 

(2) the Partnership’s obligations with respect to such Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes,
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for Note payments held in trust; 

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Partnership’s obligations in connection
therewith; and 
 (4) this Section 8.02. 

(b) Following the Partnership’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event
of Default. 
 (c) Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Partnership may exercise its option under this Section 8.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. 
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Partnership’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Partnership and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 5.01 with respect to
the outstanding Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all Note Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied
(“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection
with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means
that, with respect to this Indenture and the outstanding Notes, the Partnership may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Partnership’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(3) (only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance),
Section 6.01(a)(4) (only with respect to Significant Subsidiaries) and Section 6.01(a)(5), in each case, shall not constitute an Event of Default. 

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 

(a) The following shall be the conditions to the exercise of either the Legal Defeasance option under Section 8.02 or the Covenant
Defeasance option under Section 8.03 with respect to the Notes of each series: 

  
 -41- 













 (1) the Partnership must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for
the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, as confirmed, certified or attested by an Independent Financial Advisor in writing to the Trustee, without
consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Partnership must specify whether
the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date; 
 (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the
Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 

(A) the Partnership has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 

(B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or
loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not
occurred; 
 (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such
deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection
therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Partnership or any Subsidiary
Guarantor is a party or by which the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor is bound; 
 (5) the Partnership has delivered
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Partnership with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor or others; 

(6) the Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of
Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and 

(7) the Partnership has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of
the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be (which instructions may be contained in the Officer’s Certificate referred to in clause (6) above). 

  
 -42- 













 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions. 
 (a) Subject to Section 8.06, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes of each series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture or applicable supplemental indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on such Notes, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

(b) The Partnership will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or
Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders. 

(c) Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Partnership from time to time upon the
request of the Partnership any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be
the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 

Section 8.06 Repayment to the Partnership. 

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Partnership, in
trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Partnership on
its request or (if then held by the Partnership) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Partnership for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect
to such trust money, and all liability of the Partnership as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Partnership cause to be published once, in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (national edition) or other business periodical with national circulation, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Partnership. 

Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 
 If the
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Partnership’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, the Notes of each series and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be;
provided that, if the Partnership makes any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any such Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Partnership shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such
payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders. 

(a) Notwithstanding Section 9.02, without the consent of any Holder, the Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend
this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees: 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; 

(2) to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture by a
successor upon any merger, consolidation or asset transfer permitted under this Indenture; 
 (3) to provide for
uncertificated Notes of the applicable series in addition to or in place of certificated Notes of the applicable series;

 (5) to comply with any requirement to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act; 
 (6) to add covenants that would benefit the Holders of the Notes of the applicable series or to surrender any rights
the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantors have under this Indenture; 
 (7) to add Events of Default with respect to the
Notes of the applicable series; and 
 (8) to make any change that does not adversely affect any outstanding Notes of the
applicable series in any material respect.

described in Section 12.02, the Trustee shall join with the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the addition of a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental
indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B, and delivery of an Officer’s Certificate. 
 Section 9.02 With
Consent of Holders. 
 (a) Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, the Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors
and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes of each series and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding affected by such amendment or
supplement (acting as one class) (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes of such series) and, subject to Section 6.04 and Section 6.07, any past or
existing Default or 

  
 -44- 













 
Event of Default with respect to any series of Notes or all series of Notes (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes,
except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or such Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of such Notes then
outstanding (acting as one class in the case of a waiver impacting all series of Notes) (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes of such series).
Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 

(b) Upon the request of the Partnership, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 and Section 12.02, the Trustee shall join with the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental
indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of such proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. 

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Partnership will give to the Holders a notice
briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure of the Partnership to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

 (e) Without the consent of each affected Holder, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to
any Notes of any series held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (1) reduce the amount of
such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, a supplement or a waiver; 
 (2) reduce the rate of or change the time
for payment of interest on such Note; 
 (3) reduce the principal of such Note or change its Stated Maturity; 

(4) reduce any premium payable on the redemption of such Note or change the time at which such Note may be redeemed; 

(5) make payments on such Note payable in currency other than U.S. dollars; 

(6) impair the Holder’s right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Note; 

(7) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Notes of such series necessary to waive compliance with certain
provisions of this Indenture or to make any change in the provision related to modification; or 
 (8) waive a continuing
Default or Event of Default regarding any payment on the Notes of such series. 

  
 -45- 













 (f) A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes or the
Note Guarantee by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. 
 Section 9.03
Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
 (a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a
Note of any series is a continuing consent by the Holder of such Note and every subsequent Holder of such Note or portion of such Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on
any such Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 (b) The Partnership may,
but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date pursuant to Section 1.04 for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. 

Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

(a) The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note of any series thereafter authenticated.
The Partnership in exchange for all Notes of such series may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 

(b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or
waiver. 
 Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does
not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.02, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such
amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Partnership and any Subsidiary Guarantor party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the
provisions hereof. 
 ARTICLE 10 

GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01 Guarantee.

 (a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally

thereunder, that: (1) the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of each series shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue


  
 -46- 













 
principal and interest on such Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Partnership to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under such Notes shall be promptly paid in full or
performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes of any series or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or
performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”. Failing payment by the Partnership when due of any amount so
guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee
of collection. 
 (b) The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes of each series or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against the Partnership, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Partnership, any right to require a proceeding first against the Partnership, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee
shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes of each series and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 10.06. 

(c) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 (d) If any
Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Partnership or the Subsidiary Guarantors,
any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 

(e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary
Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not
impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees. 
 (f) Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to
be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Partnership for liquidation or reorganization, should the Partnership become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for
all or any significant part of the Partnership’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes of any series are,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced 

  
 -47- 













 
in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on such Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, such Notes Guarantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated
and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (g) In case any provision of any Note
Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

(h) Each payment to be made by a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without
set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature. 
 (i) The Notes of each series
initially shall not be entitled to the benefits of any Notes Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor contemplated by this Article 10. After the Issue Date, any Subsidiary Guarantors will provide a Note Guarantee in accordance with Section 4.10.

 Section 10.02 Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes of any series, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such
parties that the Note Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights
to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its
Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under
this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the
time of such payment, determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery. 

A Subsidiary will become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee
of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B. Upon such execution, such Subsidiary Guarantor will agree that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes of each series. 

  
 -48- 













 Section 10.04 Subrogation. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Partnership in respect of any amounts paid by any Subsidiary
Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such
right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Partnership under this Indenture or the Notes of each series shall have been paid in full. 

Section 10.05 Benefits Acknowledged. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this
Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

Section 10.06 Release of Note Guarantees. 

(a) If no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, and to the extent not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, a
Subsidiary Guarantor will be unconditionally released and discharged from its Note Guarantee: 
 (1) in connection with any
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of, or all of the Partnership’s direct or indirect limited partnership, limited liability company or other equity interests in, that Subsidiary Guarantor
(including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Partnership’s Affiliate; 

(2) upon the merger of that Subsidiary Guarantor into the Partnership or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the liquidation or
dissolution of that Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (3) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture with respect to the Notes of each applicable series in accordance with Article 8 and Article 11 of this Indenture; or 

(4) following delivery of a written notice by the Partnership to the Trustee, upon the release of all Guarantees by that
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement; provided that, if, at any time following any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its initial Note Guarantee of the Notes as described in this Section 10.06(a)(4), the Subsidiary
Guarantor again provides a Guarantee under the Credit Agreement, then the Partnership will cause the Subsidiary Guarantor to again provide a Note Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture. 

(b) At the written request of the Partnership, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents reasonably required in order to evidence
such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Note Guarantee. 
 ARTICLE 11 

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 11.01
Satisfaction and Discharge. 
 (a) This Indenture will be discharged, and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes of each
series, when either: 
 (1) all Notes of the applicable series that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost,
stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

  
 -49- 













 (2) (A) all Notes of the applicable series not theretofore delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Partnership, and the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust
funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the
entire Debt on the Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit (other
than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and the
deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a
party or by which the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor is bound; 
 (C) the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused
to be paid all sums payable by the Partnership under this Indenture; and 
 (D) the Partnership has delivered irrevocable instructions to the
Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes of such series at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. 

(b) In addition, the Partnership shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel
may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01(a)(2)(A), the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive. 

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust
and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes of each series and this Indenture or applicable supplemental indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Partnership acting as its own Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. 
 (b) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with
Section 11.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Partnership’s and any Subsidiary
Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes of each series and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Partnership has made
any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Partnership shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or
Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be.

 (i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or 

(ii) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized

 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met;
provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange: 
 (1) shall be duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and 

(2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of this Appendix A or otherwise in accordance with the Restricted Notes Legend, and are accompanied by a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the
reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions,
certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto. 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a
Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership and the Registrar, together with: 

(i) a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested
pursuant thereto; and 
 (ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an
adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to
be credited with such increase, 

  
 3 













 the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance
with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be
exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If the applicable Global Note
is not then outstanding, the Partnership shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon an Authentication Order, a new applicable Global Note in the appropriate principal amount. 

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. 

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with
the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.2(d) of this Appendix A, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the
Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or another Global Note and
such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note
being transferred. 
 (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest
in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest
to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. 

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.3 of this Appendix
A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
 (d) Restrictions on Transfer of
Global Notes; Voluntary Exchange of Interests in Transfer Restricted Global Notes for Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes. 
 (i)
Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through another Transfer Restricted Global Note shall be made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the
Restricted Notes Legend and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto.

respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit
A-2) and/or upon delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as the Partnership or the Trustee may reasonably request.

ASSETS” OF ANY SUCH PLAN, ACCOUNT OR ARRANGEMENT, OR (2) THE ACQUISITION AND HOLDING OF THIS SECURITY WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION
4975 OF THE CODE OR A SIMILAR VIOLATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE SIMILAR LAWS. 
 (ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted
Note that is a Definitive Note, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Note for a Definitive Note that does not bear the Restricted Notes Legend and the Definitive Notes Legend and rescind any restriction
on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange is in respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on
the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2) and provides such legal opinions, certifications and other information as the Partnership or the
Trustee may reasonably request. 
 (iii) Any Additional Notes sold in a registered offering shall not be required to bear the Restricted
Notes Legend. 
 (f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either
been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by
the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal
amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Registrar (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Registrar or the
Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

 7 













 (iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the
Partnership, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such
Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Partnership, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(iv) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
 (v) In order to effect
any transfer or exchange of an interest in any Transfer Restricted Note for an interest in a Note that does not bear the Restricted Notes Legend and has not been registered under the Securities Act, if the Registrar so requests or if the Applicable
Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel, in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that no registration under the Securities Act is required in respect of such exchange or transfer or the
re-sale of such interest by the beneficial holder thereof, shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar and the Trustee. 

(h) No Obligation of the Trustee. 

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Beneficial Owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the

participant, member, Beneficial Owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to
be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of Beneficial Owners in any
Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to
its members, participants and any Beneficial Owners. 
 (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or
Beneficial Owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine
the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 Section 2.3 Definitive Notes. 

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as Custodian pursuant to Section 2.1 may be transferred to the
Beneficial Owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.2 of this Appendix A
and (i) the Depositary notifies the Partnership that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and,
in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Partnership within 90 days of such notice or after the Partnership becomes aware of such cessation or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar
has received a request from the Depository. In addition, any

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the Beneficial Owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be surrendered by the
Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of
Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
