Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Clearway Energy Operating LLC (or its permitted successor), a Delaware limited liability company
(the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and Delaware Trust
Company, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).


 


W I T N E S S E T H


 


WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore
executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of October 1, 2021 providing for the
issuance of 3.750% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”);


 


WHEREAS, the Indenture provides
that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant
to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall fully and unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes
and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections
4.10 and 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee, the Company and the other Guarantors are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental
Indenture.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:


 


1.                  
CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.


 


2.                
AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby becomes a party to the Indenture as a Guarantor and as such will
have all the rights and be subject to all the Obligations and agreements of a Guarantor under the Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary
hereby agrees to provide a full and unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Subsidiary Guarantee
and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 10 thereof.


 


3.                 
NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor,
as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Subsidiary
Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting
a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver
may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL

JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.


 


5.                COUNTERPARTS.
The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together
represent the same agreement.

7.                THE
TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental
Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary
and the Company.


 


8.                 RATIFICATION
OF INDENTURE; SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE FOR ADDITIONAL GUARANTEES PART OF INDENTURE. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is
in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This
Supplemental Indenture for Additional Guarantees shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of Notes heretofore
or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall by bound hereby.


 


9.                 
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES. Each of the transaction parties agrees on behalf of itself, and any Person acting or claiming by,
under or through such transaction party, that any written instrument delivered in connection with this Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture
or any related document, including without limitation any amendments or supplements to such documents, may be executed by electronic methods
(whether by .pdf scan or utilization of an electronic signature platform or application). Any electronic signature document delivered
via email from an Officer of the Company, any Guaranteeing Subsidiary or any other Guarantor to the Trustee shall be considered signed
or executed by such person on behalf of the Company, such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, or such other Guarantor, as applicable. Each of the
Company, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, and the other Guarantors agree to assume all risks arising out of the use of electronic methods
for all purposes including the authorization, execution, delivery, or submission of documents, instruments, notices, directions,
instructions, reports, opinions and certificates to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized

enforceability as a manually executed signature to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar federal or state law, rule
or regulation, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and the parties hereby waive any objection to the contrary. Any document
accepted, executed or agreed to in conformity with such laws will be binding on all parties hereto to the same extent as if it were physically
executed and each party hereby consents to the use of any third party electronic signature capture service providers as may be reasonably
