of outstanding Securities from time to time as reflected in the records of the Trustee and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. The
Trustee’s records shall be noted to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Securities represented thereby, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.


 






    18


     


    

 


If an Officer whose signature
is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time a Security is authenticated, the Security will nevertheless be valid.


 


A Security will not be valid
until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated
under this Indenture.


 


The Trustee shall, upon receipt
of a written order of the Company signed by at least one Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Securities
for original issue under this Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate
principal amount of Securities authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided
in Section 2.08 hereof.


 


The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever
the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating
agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.


 


Section 2.03           Registrar
and Paying Agent.


 


The Company will maintain
an office or agency with respect to each Series of Securities issued pursuant to this Indenture, where such securities may be presented
for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where such Securities may be presented
for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of all such Securities and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes
any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent
or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party
to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.
The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or parent entities may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


The Company initially appoints
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.


 


The Company initially appoints
the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.


 


Section 2.04           Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust.


 


The Company will require each
Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Securities
for which it is acting as Paying Agent or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company 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 Company at any time may require
a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company
or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate
and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.


 






    19


     


    

 


Section 2.05           Holder
Lists.


 


The Trustee shall preserve
in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the
Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven 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 such date as the Trustee may reasonably require
of the names and addresses of the Holders.


 


Section 2.06           Transfer
and Exchange.


 


(a)            Transfer
and Exchange of Global Securities. A Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such
nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Securities shall be exchanged by the Company for
Definitive Securities if:


 


(1)            the
Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it
is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company
within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;


 


(2)            the
Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Securities (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Securities
and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or


 


(3)            there
has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes.


 


Upon the occurrence of any
of the preceding events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Definitive Securities shall be issued in such names and in any approved denominations
as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in
Sections 2.08 and 2.11 hereof. Every Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion
thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.08 or 2.11 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of,
and shall be, a Global Security. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Security other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a);
however, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.


 


(b)            Transfer
and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Securities. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities
shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Transfers

applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:


 


(1)            Transfer
of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Security. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Security may be transferred to
Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Security in accordance with the transfer

transfers of beneficial interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Security may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or
benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Security may be transferred
to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security. Any person who transfers
a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security prior to the expiration of the applicable Restricted Period with respect to
any Series of Additional Securities shall be deemed to have certified that such transfer was not made to a U.S. Person or for the
account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser). No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered
to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).

to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above.


 


(3)           Transfer
of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Security. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Security may be transferred

A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Security may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted
Global Security or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security
if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following:

Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate

transferred pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(4).

for Definitive Securities or a particular Global Security has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such
Global Security shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof. At any time
prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security or for Definitive Securities, the principal amount of
Securities represented by such Global Security will be reduced accordingly and a notation will be made on the records maintained by the
Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged
for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other

(i)             General
Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.


 


(1)            To
permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Securities and Definitive
Securities upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.


 


(2)            No
service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security or to a Holder of a Definitive Security for any
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer
pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06, 4.09 and 9.05 hereof).


 


(3)            The
Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.


 


(4)            All
Global Securities and Definitive Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Securities or Definitive Securities
shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Global Securities or Definitive Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


(5)            The
Company shall not be required:


 


(A)          to
issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 10 days before the
day of any selection of Securities for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;


 


(B)           to

Security being redeemed in part; or

(6)            Prior
to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person
in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
interest on such Securities and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.


 


(7)           The
Trustee shall authenticate Global Securities and Definitive Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.


 


(8)           All

    29


     


    

 


Section 2.07           Issuance
of Additional Notes.


 


The Company shall be entitled,
upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel and Authentication Order, to issue Additional Notes
under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date
of issuance and issue price. The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes issued shall be treated as a single class
for all purposes under this Indenture; provided that any such Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Initial Notes for
United States federal income tax purposes will be issued with a different CUSIP number than the CUSIP number issued with respect to the
Initial Notes.


 


With respect to any Additional
Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to
the Trustee, the following information:


 


(a)            the
aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and


 


(b)            the
issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes.


 


Section 2.08           Replacement
Securities.


 


If any mutilated Security
is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Security
if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder
that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating
agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.


 


Every replacement Security
is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
all other Securities duly issued hereunder.


 


Section 2.09           Outstanding
Securities.


 


The Securities 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 Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described
in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Security does not cease to be outstanding
because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security; however, Securities held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof.


 


If a Security is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced
Security is held by a protected purchaser.


 


If the principal amount of
any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.


 






    30


     


    

 


If the Paying Agent (other
than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Securities
payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue
interest.


 


Section 2.10           Treasury
Securities.


 


In determining whether the
Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company
or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with
the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only such Notes that the Trustee has received written notice from
the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, certifying that the relevant Notes are owned by either the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable,
will be so disregarded.


 


Section 2.11           Temporary
Securities.


 


Until certificates representing
Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate
temporary Securities. Temporary Securities will be substantially in the form of certificated Securities but may have variations that the
Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay,
the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.


 


Holders of temporary Notes
will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.


 


Section 2.12           Cancellation.


 


The Company at any time may
deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered
to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. Upon receipt of written direction from the Company, the Trustee and no one
else will cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy
canceled Securities (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled
Securities will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.13           Defaulted
Interest.


 


If the Company defaults in
a payment of interest on the Notes, it will 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 hereof. The Company will 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. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and
payment date. At least 10 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in
the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed or delivered electronically to Holders a notice that states
the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.


 


Default interest will be payable
with respect to Additional Securities on the terms provided in the Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Series of Additional
Securities is created.

Section 3.01           Notices
to Trustee.


 


If the Company elects to redeem
Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 days but
not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth:

If less than all of the Notes
are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis among all outstanding Notes or,
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, in either case, unless otherwise required by law or depositary requirements.


 


In the event of partial redemption
by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more
than 60 days prior to the redemption by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.


 


The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess
of $2,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by
such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000 shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions
of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.


 


No Notes of $2,000 or less
shall be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail or delivered electronically at least 10 but not more
than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices
may be mailed or delivered electronically more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance
of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.


 






    32


     


    

 



 


If any Note is to be redeemed
in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is
to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note shall be issued in the name of the
Holder of Notes upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and
after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption, so long as the Company has deposited
with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on, the Notes to
be redeemed.


 


Section 3.03           Notice
of Redemption.

a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be

Notes to be redeemed and will state:


 


(1)            the
redemption date;


 


(2)            the
redemption price or, where the redemption price cannot be calculated at the time of such notice, the method of calculation thereof;


 


(3)            if
any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date
upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation
of the original Note;


 


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


 


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


 


(6)            that,
unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
redemption date;


 


(7)            the
paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and


 


(8)            that
no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.


 


At the Company’s request,
the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company
has delivered to the Trustee, at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date such notice of redemption is to be distributed to
the Holders (or such shorter period as the Trustee in its sole discretion may allow), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the
Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.


 


Any redemption and notice
thereof may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. If a redemption notice
is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will state that, at the Company’s discretion, the redemption
date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions are satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may
be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions have not been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so
delayed.


 






    33


     


    

 


Section 3.04           Effect
of Notice of Redemption.


 


Once notice of redemption
is mailed or delivered in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become, subject to any conditions precedent
set forth in the notice of redemption, irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.


 


Section 3.05           Deposit

time on the redemption or purchase date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the

the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of accrued interest
and premium, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.


 


If the Company complies with
the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on
or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note
was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender
for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, 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 not paid
on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.


 


Section 3.06           Notes
Redeemed or Purchased in Part.


 


Upon surrender of a Note that
is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate
for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered.

any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount

redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

	2030 and thereafter	 	 	100.000	%



 


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

provisions of this Article 3 do not prohibit the Company or its affiliates from acquiring the Notes in market transactions by means
other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer or otherwise.

to purchase), plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment (or payment pursuant to another offer to purchase), accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In determining whether the Holders of at least 90.0% of the aggregate principal
of the then outstanding Notes have validly tendered and not withdrawn such Notes in a tender offer or other offer to purchase, such calculation
shall include all Notes owned by an Affiliate of the Company (notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary).

to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal,
premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof,
holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated
for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.


 


Section 4.02          Maintenance
of Office or Agency.


 


The Company will maintain
an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes
and this Indenture may be served. The Company will 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 Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails 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 Company may also from
time to time designate one or more other 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 Company will 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.


 


The Company hereby designates
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.


 


Section 4.03           Reports.


 


(a)            Whether
or not required by the SEC’s rules and regulations, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish or cause
to be furnished to Holders, within the time periods (including any extensions thereof) specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:


 


(1)            all
quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file
such reports; and


 


(2)            all
current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.


 


All such reports shall be
prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report
on Form 10-K will include a report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements by the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm. To the extent the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above are filed with the SEC for public
availability, the reports will be deemed to be furnished to the Trustee and Holders of Notes.


 






    36


     


    




 


If the Company is no longer
subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company shall nevertheless continue filing the
reports specified in this Section 4.03(a) with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept
such a filing. The Company agrees that it shall not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company shall post the reports
referred to in this Section 4.03(a) on the website of Clearway Energy, Inc. within the time periods that would apply if
the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.


 


(b)           So
long as the Parent Guarantor continues to own, directly or indirectly, all of the Equity Interests of the Company, the Parent Guarantor
may elect to prepare and file and furnish the quarterly, annual and current reports and consolidated financial statements referred to
above in respect of the Parent Guarantor and such reports and consolidated financial statements will be deemed to satisfy the obligations
of the Company under this Section 4.03.


 


(c)            In
addition, the Company and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, at any time they are not required to
file the reports required by the preceding paragraphs with the Commission, they shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts
and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act.


 


Section 4.04           Compliance
Certificate.


 


(a)           The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a
review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the
signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this
Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company
has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance
or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing
all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take
with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments
on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description
of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


(b)           So
long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, promptly after any Officer becoming aware of any Default
or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking
or proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


Section 4.05           Taxes.


 


The Company shall pay, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such
as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders.


 






    37


     


    

 


Section 4.06           Stay,
Extension and Usury Laws.


 


The Company and each of the
Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that they 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 the Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they 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 4.07           Liens.


 


The Company will not, and
will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor, to create or permit to exist any Lien upon any Principal Property owned by the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor or upon any Equity Interests issued by, or Indebtedness of, any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company that
directly or indirectly owns Principal Property to secure any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor without providing
for the Notes to be equally and ratably secured with (or prior to) any and all such Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness similarly
entitled to be equally and ratably secured for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured; provided, however, that this restriction
will not apply to, or prevent the creation or existence of:


 


(1)            Liens
securing Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under one or more Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount
pursuant to this clause (1), measured as of the date of creation of any such Lien and the date of incurrence of any such Indebtedness,
not exceeding the greatest of (a) 20% of Total Assets, (b) $1.0 billion and (c) 2.5 times Adjusted LTM CAFD;


 


(2)            Existing
Liens;


 


(3)            Liens
securing Indebtedness of any Person that (a) is acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, (b) is
merged or amalgamated with or into the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof or (c) becomes consolidated in the
financial statements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof in accordance with GAAP; provided, however,
that in each case contemplated by this clause (3), such Indebtedness was not incurred in contemplation of such acquisition, merger,
amalgamation or consolidation and is only secured by Liens on the Equity Interests and assets of, the Person (and Subsidiaries of the
Person) acquired by, or merged or amalgamated with or into, or consolidated in the financial statements of, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries;


 


(4)            Liens
securing Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor incurred to finance (whether prior to or within 365 days after)
the acquisition, construction or improvement of assets (whether through the direct purchase of assets or through the purchase of the Equity
Interests of any Person owning such assets or through an acquisition of any such Person by merger); provided, however, that such
Indebtedness is only secured by Liens on the Equity Interests and assets acquired, constructed or improved in such financing (and related
contracts, intangibles, and other assets that are incidental thereto or arise therefrom (including accessions thereto and replacements
or proceeds thereof));


 


(5)            Liens
in favor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;


 






    38


     


    

 


(6)            Liens
securing Hedging Obligations; provided that such agreements were not entered into for speculative purposes (as determined by the
Company in its reasonable discretion acting in good faith);


 


(7)            Liens
relating to current or future escrow arrangements securing Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor;


 


(8)            Liens
to secure Environmental CapEx Debt or Necessary CapEx Debt that encumber only the assets purchased, installed or otherwise acquired with
the proceeds of such Environmental CapEx Debt or Necessary CapEx Debt;


 


(9)            Liens
encumbering deposits made to secure obligations arising from statutory, regulatory, contractual or warranty requirements of the Company
or any Guarantor, including rights of offset and set-off;


 


(10)          Refinancing
Liens;


 


(11)          Liens
on the stock or assets of Project Subsidiaries securing Project Debt or Tax Equity Financing of one or more Project Subsidiaries;


 


(12)          Liens
on cash and cash equivalents securing Indebtedness incurred to finance an acquisition of assets or a business or multiple businesses;
provided, that within 180 days from the date the related Indebtedness was Incurred, such cash or cash equivalents are used
to (a) fund the acquisition (or a similar transaction), including any related fees and expenses, and the related Indebtedness is
(1) secured by Liens otherwise permitted under this Section 4.07 or (2) unsecured; or (b) retire or repay the Indebtedness
that it secures and to pay any related fees and expenses; and


 


(13)          other
Liens, in addition to those permitted in clauses (1) through (12) above, securing Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor having an aggregate principal amount, measured as of the date of creation of any such Lien and the date of incurrence of any
such Indebtedness, not to exceed the greater of (i) 2.0% of Total Assets and (ii) $100.0 million.


 


Liens securing Indebtedness
under the Credit Agreement existing on the date of this Indenture will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the
exception provided by clause (1) above. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07, in the event that
a proposed Lien meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Liens described in clauses (1) through (13) above,
the Company (a) will be permitted (i) to classify such Lien on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion
of such Lien, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.07 and (ii) divide and redivide the amount of such Lien arising
among more than one of such clauses and (b) will only be required to include such Lien in one of any such clauses.


 


If the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor proposes to create or permit to exist any Lien upon any Principal Property owned by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor
or upon any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company that directly or indirectly owns Principal
Property to secure any Indebtedness, other than as permitted by clauses (1) through (13) of the previous paragraph, the
Company will give prior written notice thereof to the Trustee, who will give notice to the Holders of the Notes, and the Company will
further agree, prior to or simultaneously with the creation of such Lien, effectively to secure all the Notes equally and ratably with
(or prior to) such other Indebtedness, for so long as such other Indebtedness is so secured.

Section 4.08           Limited
Liability Company Existence.


 


Subject to Article 5
hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:


 


(1)            its
limited liability company existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence, as applicable, of the Parent Guarantor and each
of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the
Company, the Parent Guarantor or any such Subsidiary; and


 


(2)            the
rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company, the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence
of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, if (a) the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company, the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss
thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes or (b) if a Subsidiary is to be dissolved, such Subsidiary
has no assets.


 


Section 4.09           Offer
to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.


 


(a)            Upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”)
to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that Holder’s
Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any
Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail (or deliver electronically) a notice to each Holder describing the transaction
or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:


 


(1)            that
the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.09 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;


 


(2)            the
purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 10 days (or such longer period required by applicable securities
laws and regulations) and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”);


 


(3)            that
any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;


 


(4)            that,
unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;


 


(5)            that
Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the
form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address
specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;


 






    40


     


    

 


(6)            that
Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business
Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and


 


(7)            that
Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
of $2,000.


 


The Company shall 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 provisions of this Section 4.09, the Company
shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09
by virtue of such compliance.


 


(b)            On
the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:


 


(1)            accept
for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;


 


(2)            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


 


(3)            deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate
principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.


 


The Paying Agent shall promptly
distribute to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for the Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate
and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion
of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable
after the Change of Control Payment Date.


 


(c)            The
provisions described in Sections 4.09(a) and (b) shall apply whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.
Except as described in Sections 4.09(a) and (b) hereof, Holders of Notes shall not be permitted to require that the Company
repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.


 


(d)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.09, the Company shall 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 times and otherwise in compliance
with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.09 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change
of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default
in payment of the applicable redemption price. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event,
with the obligation to pay and the timing of payment conditioned upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive
agreement to effect a Change of Control is in place at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.


 






    41


     


    

 


(e)            If
Holders of not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and not withdraw such Notes in a
Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above,
purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, all of the Holders of the Notes will be deemed to have
validly tendered their notes and not withdrawn and, accordingly, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than
60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to redeem all
Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment,
plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In
determining whether the Holders of at least 90.0% of the aggregate principal of the then outstanding Notes have validly tendered and not
withdrawn such Notes in a tender offer or other offer to purchase, such calculation shall include all Notes owned by an Affiliate of the
Company (notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary).


 


Section 4.10           Additional
Subsidiary Guarantees.


 


If,


 


(1)            the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Wholly Owned Subsidiary after the Issue Date and such Wholly Owned Subsidiary
Guarantees any Obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement, or


 


(2)            any
Wholly Owned Subsidiary that does not Guarantee any Obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement as of the date of the Indenture
subsequently Guarantees any Obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement, or


 


(3)            if
there is no Indebtedness of the Company outstanding under the Credit Agreement at that time, any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company
(including any newly acquired or created Wholly Owned Subsidiary) Guarantees any Obligations with respect to any other Material Indebtedness
of the Company,


 


then such newly acquired or created Wholly Owned
Subsidiary or Wholly Owned Subsidiary that subsequently fully and unconditionally Guarantees Obligations under the Credit Agreement or
other Material Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, will become a Guarantor of the Notes and execute a supplemental indenture
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and deliver an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the trustee within 60 business
days of the date on which it was acquired or created or guaranteed other Material Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be.


 


Section 4.11           Holding
Company Status


 


The Parent Guarantor will
not engage in any business, activity or transaction or own any interest (fee, leasehold or otherwise) in any real property, or incur,
assume, or suffer to exist any Indebtedness other than:


 


(1)            the
ownership of debt or Equity Interests in the Company;


 


(2)            maintaining
its corporate existence;


 






    42


     


    

 


(3)            participating
in tax, accounting and other administrative activities as the parent of a consolidated group of companies, including the Company;


 


(4)            making
distributions to holders of its debt or Equity Interests or contributions to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company;


 


(5)            the
performance of its obligations under the Exchange Agreement and similar agreements;


 


(6)            issuing
a Guarantee in respect of, or otherwise becoming liable with respect to, Indebtedness incurred by Clearway Energy, Inc., the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and the execution and delivery of any agreements related to the foregoing, including credit agreements,
indentures, security agreements, and notes;


 


(7)            issuing
equity securities and/or issuing or incurring Indebtedness, including to finance acquisitions; and


 


(8)            activities
incidental to the businesses or activities described in clauses (1) through (7) above.

Section 5.01           Merger,
Consolidation or Sale of Assets.


 


Neither the Parent Guarantor
nor the Company shall, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Parent Guarantor
or the Company is the surviving Person); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of
the properties or assets of the Parent Guarantor or the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the Company or the Company

(1)            either:


 


(A)           the
Parent Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, is the surviving Person; or


 


(B)            the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Parent Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be)
or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability
company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided
that if the Person is a partnership or limited liability company, then a corporation wholly owned by such Person organized or existing

assets or operations shall become a co-issuer of the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture duly executed by the Trustee;

or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the
Parent Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other

merger of the Parent Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reforming the Parent Guarantor
or the Company, as the case may be, in another jurisdiction or forming a direct or indirect holding company of the Company that is a Wholly
Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor; and

of the Parent Guarantor, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries taken as a whole in a transaction that is subject to, and that
complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the
Parent Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition
is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer,

the obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes and that the predecessor Parent Guarantor shall not
be relieved from its obligations under its Guarantee except in the case of a sale of all of the Company’s or the Parent Guarantors
assets, as the case may be, in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof.

    46


     


    

 


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 of, premium, if any, or interest on,
the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.


 


The Trustee may maintain a
proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the
Trustee or any Holder of a Note 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 aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in
the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided,
however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, by written notice to the
Trustee, 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.


 


Subject to certain limitations,
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes that are then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. However, the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
other Holders of Securities or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.


 


Section 6.06           Limitation
on Suits.


 


No Holder of a Note may pursue
any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:


 


(1)            such
Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;


 


(2)            Holders
of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;


 


(3)            such
Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;


 


(4)            the
Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and


 


(5)            Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request
within such 60-day period.


 






    47


     


    

 



  


A Holder of a Note may not
use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a
Note.


  


Section 6.07           Rights
of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.


 


Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the
Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), 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(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name
and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, remaining
unpaid on the Notes and 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,
its agents and counsel.


 


Section 6.09           Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.


 


The Trustee is authorized
to file such 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 Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors
or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and 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, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due to the Trustee under this Indenture, including without limitation, under Section 7.07 hereof. 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 to the Trustee under this Indenture, including without limitation, under Section 7.07 hereof 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 6.10           Priorities.


 


If the Trustee collects any
money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:


 


First:     to
the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;


 






    48


     


    

 


Second:     to
Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively;
and


 


 


Third:     to
the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.


 


The Trustee may fix a record

Section 6.11     Undertaking

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 the 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 6.11 does not apply to
a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

(b)           Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate. The Trustee will not be liable for any action

Rights of Trustee.

to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.05           Notice
of Defaults.


 


If a Default or Event of Default
with respect to any Series of Securities occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the
Trustee will mail to Holders of such Securities a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later,
after a Responsible Officer has knowledge of any Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security, 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 the Holders of the Securities.


 


Section 7.06           [Reserved]


 


Section 7.07           Compensation
and Indemnity.


 


(a)            The
Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder.
The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse
the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation
for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and
counsel.


 


(b)            The
Company and the Guarantors will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of
or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing
this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether
asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by
the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company
or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company
will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without
its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.


 


(c)            The
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.


 


(d)            To
secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior
to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, particular Securities. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.


 


(e)            When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01
hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended
to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(f)            [Reserved]


 


(g)           The

successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.


 


(d)            If
a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company,
or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


(e)            A
successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been
paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08,
the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Article 8 hereof provides the terms upon which legal defeasance and covenant defeasance can occur. For purposes of any Additional
Securities issued under this Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture in respect of such Additional Securities will specify the terms upon
which legal defeasance and covenant defeasance can occur for such Additional Securities, which may include some, all or none of the terms
contained in this Article 8 hereof.


 


Section 8.01           Option
to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 


The Company may at any time,
at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.


 


Section 8.02           Legal
Defeasance and Discharge.


 


Upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations
with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees), which
will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of
this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes,
the Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:


 


(1)            the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes
when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;


 






    54


     


    

 


(2)            the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;


 


(3)            the
rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’
obligations in connection therewith; and


 


(4)            this
Article 8.


 


Subject to compliance with
this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option
under Section 8.03 hereof.


 


Section 8.03           Covenant
Defeasance.


 


Upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under Sections 4.07,
4.09 and 4.10 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof
are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will 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 will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that
such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors 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 will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) and (4) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.


 


Section 8.04          Conditions
to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.


 


In order to exercise either
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:


 


(1)            the
Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government
Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank,
appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the outstanding
Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether
the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;


 


(2)            in
the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee confirming that:


 


(A)           the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or


 






    55


     


    

 


(B)            since
the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,


  


in either case to the effect that, and
based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to 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 an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes
as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to 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 shall have occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness),
and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);


 


(5)            such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement
or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Parent Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
the Parent Guarantor is bound;


 


(6)            the
Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent
of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding
any creditors of the Company or others; and


 


(7)            the
Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.


 


Section 8.05           Deposited
Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.


 


Subject to Section 8.06
hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in
respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and
this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee
may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest,
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities
deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof 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 of the outstanding Notes.


 






    56


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything in
this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company
any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be
the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), 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 Company.


 


Any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on,
any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on its written request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will 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 Company cause to be
published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which will 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 Company.


 


Section 8.07           Reinstatement.


 


If the Trustee or Paying Agent
is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, 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 Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees
will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money
held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.


 


ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER


 


Section 9.01           Without
Consent of Holders of Notes.


 


Notwithstanding Section 9.02
of this Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement
this Indenture, the Securities or the Subsidiary Guarantees:


 


(1)            to
cure any ambiguity, mistake, defect or inconsistency;


 






    57


     


    

 


(2)            to
provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities (provided, that the uncertificated
Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code);


 


(3)            to
provide for the assumption of the Parent Guarantor’s or the Company’s Obligations to Holders of Securities in the case of
a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Parent Guarantor’s or the Company’s assets, as the case
may be;


 


(4)            to
make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Securities or that does not adversely affect
the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder;


 


(5)            to
conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering
Memorandum, relating to the initial offering of the Notes;


 


(6)            to
evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor trustee pursuant to the requirements hereof;


 


(7)            to
provide for the issuance of Additional Notes and Additional Securities in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture
as of the date hereof; or


 


(8)            to
allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Securities.


 


Upon the request of the Company
accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee
of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the 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.


 


Section 9.02           With
Consent of Holders of Notes.


 


Except as provided below in
this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.09
hereof), the Notes and the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities of each Series of Securities affected thereby (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, any Series of Securities), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof,
any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on, any Securities, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any
provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities of each Series of Securities affected thereby (including, without limitation, consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, any Series of Securities). Section 2.09 hereof
shall determine which Securities are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.


 


Upon the request of the Company
accompanied by a Board Resolution and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders
of Securities as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee shall
join with the Company and the 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 will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.


 






    58


     


    

 


It is not necessary for the
consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement
or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.


 


After an amendment, supplement
or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail or deliver electronically to the Holders of Securities
affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail or deliver such notice,
or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.
Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any particular
Series then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision
of this Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder of any Security affected, an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Security held by a non-consenting Holder):


 


(1)            reduce
the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;


 


(2)            reduce
the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Security or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Securities
(other than provisions relating to the covenants described in Section 4.09 hereof and provisions relating to the number of days’
notice to be given in case of redemption);


 


(3)            reduce
the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security;


 


(4)            waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security (except a rescission of acceleration
of any Series of Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities
of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);


 


(5)            make
any Security payable in currency other than that stated in the Securities;


 


(6)            make
any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Securities to receive
payments of principal of, premium, if any, or, interest on, the Securities;


 


(7)            waive
a redemption payment with respect to any Security (other than a payment required by Sections 4.09 hereof); or


 


(8)            make
any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.


 






    59


     


    

 


Section 9.03           [Reserved]


 


Section 9.04           Revocation
and Effect of Consents.


 


Until an amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Security and every subsequent
Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation
of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder of a Security or subsequent Holder of a Security may revoke the consent
as to its Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.
An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.


 


Section 9.05           Notation
on or Exchange of Securities.


 


The Trustee may place an appropriate
notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Security thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Securities
may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Securities that reflect the amendment, supplement
or waiver.


 


Failure to make the appropriate
notation or issue a new Security will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


Section 9.06           Trustee
to Sign Amendments, etc.


 


The Trustee shall sign any
amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect
the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the
Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive
and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.


 


ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEES


 


For purposes of the Notes,
Article 10 hereof provides the terms of the Guarantees of the Notes. For purposes of any Additional Securities issued under this
Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture in respect of such Additional Securities will specify the terms of guarantees for such Additional
Securities, which may include some, all or none of the terms contained in this Article 10 hereof.


 


Section 10.01         Guarantee.


 


(a)            Subject
to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of
a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:


 


(1)            the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other
obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance
with the terms hereof and thereof; and


 






    60


     


    

 


(2)            in
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes 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.


 


Failing payment when due of
any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated
to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.


 


(b)            The
Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are full and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect
to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, 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 Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment,
demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding
first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.


 


(c)            If
any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator
or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such
Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.


 


(d)            Each
Guarantor agrees that it will 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 Guarantor further agrees that, as between the 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 hereof for the purposes of this 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 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable
by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor
so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.


 


Section 10.02         Limitation
on Guarantor Liability.


 


Each Guarantor, and by its
acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not
constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance 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 Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum
amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such 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 Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations
of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.


 






    61


     


    

 


Section 10.03         Execution
and Delivery of Guarantee.


 


Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse
on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.


 


If an Officer whose signature
is on this Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee
is endorsed, the Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.


 


The delivery of any Note by
the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on
behalf of the Guarantors.


 


Section 10.04         Guarantors
May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.


 


Except as otherwise provided
in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate
with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor,
unless:


 


(1)            immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and


 


(2)            subject
to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any
such consolidation or merger fully and unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Guarantee, this Indenture
on the terms set forth herein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;


 


In case of any such consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee
and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants
and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor
with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all
of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company
and delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture
as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had
been issued at the date of the execution hereof.


 


Except as set forth in Articles
4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clause (2) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any
consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property
of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.


 






    62


     


    

 



 


Section 10.05         Releases.


 


(a)            [RESERVED]


 


(b)            The
Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released automatically:


 


(1)            in
connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of 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 Company or a Subsidiary
of the Company;


 


(2)            in
connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or
after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, if following such sale or other disposition, that
Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company;


 


(3)            upon
repayment in full of the Notes;


 


(4)            upon
defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as provided in Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04 and 11.01 hereof;


 


(5)            upon
a dissolution of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is permitted under this Indenture; or


 


(6)            otherwise
with respect to the Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor:


 


(A)           upon
the prior consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;

as provided in this Article 10.


 


ARTICLE 11

satisfaction and discharge


 


For purposes of the Notes,
Article 11 hereof provides the terms upon which satisfaction and discharge can occur. For purposes of any Additional Securities issued
under this Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture in respect of such Additional Securities will specify the terms upon which satisfaction
and discharge can occur for such Additional Securities, which may include some, all or none of the terms contained in this Article 11
hereof.


 


Section 11.01         Satisfaction
and Discharge.


 


This Indenture will be discharged
and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:


 


(1)            either:


 


(a)            all
Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment
money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for such Notes for cancellation;
or


 


(b)            all
Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the distribution of a notice
of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any 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, non-callable
Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient,
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;


 


(2)            in
respect of subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit)
and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company
or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;


 


(3)            the
Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and


 


(4)            the
Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of
the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.


 


In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.


 






    64 


     


    

 


Notwithstanding the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this
Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will
be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture.


  


Section 11.02         Application
of Trust Money.


 


Subject to the provisions
of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied
by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company 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.


 


If the Trustee or Paying Agent
is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof 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 Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though
no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.

Clearway Energy Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the

in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business
Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the
payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further, that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be _________. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture
with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, interest at the office or agency of the
Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by
check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all Global Notes and all
other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall
be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts.

provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the
Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and
perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply

In connection with our proposed
purchase of $____________ aggregate principal amount of:


 


(a)   ̈
a beneficial interest in a Global Note, or


 


(b)   ̈
a Definitive Note,


 


we confirm that:


 


1.            We
understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes or any interest therein is subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth
in the Indenture and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes or any interest
therein except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).


 


2.            We
understand that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Notes and any interest
therein may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts
for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell the Notes or any interest therein, we will do so only (A) to
the Company or any subsidiary thereof, (B) in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a “qualified institutional
buyer” (as defined therein), (C) to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such
transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to you and to the Company a signed letter substantially in
the form of this letter and, if such transfer is in respect of a principal amount of Notes, at the time of transfer of less than $250,000,
an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities
Act, (D) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (E) pursuant to
the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (F) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, and we further agree to provide to any Person purchasing the Definitive Note or beneficial interest in a Global Note from us in a
transaction meeting the requirements of clauses (A) through (E) of this paragraph a notice advising such purchaser that resales
thereof are restricted as stated herein.

3.            We
understand that, on any proposed resale of the Notes or beneficial interest therein, we will be required to furnish to you and the Company
such certifications, legal opinions and other information as you and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale
complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.


 


4.            We
are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D
under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk
of our or its investment.


 


5.            We
are acquiring the Notes or beneficial interest therein purchased by us for our own account or for one or more accounts (each of which
is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.


 


You and the Company are entitled
to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative
or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

Supplemental
Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of ________________, among __________________ (the “Guaranteeing
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

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.


 


5.            NEW
YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD
BE REQUIRED THEREBY.


 


6.             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.

Subsidiary and the Company.

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.
