Execution and Authentication.


 


One Officer must sign
the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.


 


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

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.

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

Transfer and Exchange.

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

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

provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

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).

(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 register the transfer of or to exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Security being redeemed in part; or

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.


 






    	 	29	 



     


    

 


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


 


(8)

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.


 






    	 	30	 



     


    

 


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.


 


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.

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:

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,

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.

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.

Company any money deposited with 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 redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.


 


(f)           
The 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.


 


(g)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article 3, in connection with any tender offer for, or other offer to purchase, the Notes, if
Holders of not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes
in such tender offer (or other offer to purchase) and the Company, or any third party making such a tender offer (or other offer
to purchase) in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, 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
tender offer expiration date (or purchase date pursuant to such other offer), to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following
such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the price paid to each other Holder (excluding any early tender, incentive
or similar fee) in such tender offer (or other offer 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).

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

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

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

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));


 






    	 	38	 



     


    

 


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


 


(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.

(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)

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.

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.

(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).

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

(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.

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

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 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 documents and agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and


 


(3)               
immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.


 


In addition, neither
the Parent Guarantor nor the Company will, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its and its respective Subsidiaries’
properties or assets taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.


 


This Section 5.01 shall
not apply to:


 


(1)                a
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


 


(2)                any
sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Parent Guarantor, the Company
and their respective Subsidiaries, including by way of merger or consolidation.


 


Section
5.02         
Successor Entity Substituted.


 


Upon any consolidation
or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties
or assets 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, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company or, as the case may be, the provisions of this Indenture referring
to the “Parent Guarantor” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Parent Guarantor), and may exercise
every right and power of the Parent Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, under this Indenture with the same effect as
if such successor Person had been named as the Parent Guarantor or the Company, as the case may be, herein; provided, however,
that the predecessor Company shall not be relieved from 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.

of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or


 


(B)             
results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

(A)             
is for relief against the Company or any Guarantor that, if a Subsidiary of the Company, would constitute a Significant

(C)

Section
6.02          
Acceleration.


 


In the case of an Event
of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, or any Guarantor of the Company

if Subsidiaries of the Company, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due
and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or

payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.


 






    	 	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 date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.


 


Section
6.11          
Undertaking for Costs.


 


In any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it
as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in 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.

(a)          
If an Event of Default with respect to any Series of Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent
person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:


 


(1)               
the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform
only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall
be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


(2)               
in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture.


 


(c)          
The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its
own willful misconduct, except that:

this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;


 


(2)

subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.


 


(e)          
No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee

such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Rights of Trustee.

the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.


 


(b)          
Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate. The Trustee will not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate. The Trustee may
consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and
protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.


 


(c)           
The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any

be responsible for any action or omission by any Depositary.

Indenture.


 


(i)           
In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The
Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated
maturity or failure to provide timely written direction.


 


(j)

(including, but not limited to, loss of profit), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless of the form of action.


 


(k)

or interruption of communications or computer facilities, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other

7.03          
Individual Rights of Trustee.


 


The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate

conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.
The Trustee is also subject 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 (7) or (8) 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.

(g)

the Trustee, any termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection of this Indenture in any insolvency or similar
proceeding and the repayment of all the Securities.


 


Section
7.08          
Replacement of Trustee.


 


(a)          
A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.


 


(b)          
The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying
the Trustee and the Company in writing at least 30 days prior to the effectiveness of such removal. The Company may remove the
Trustee if:


 


(1)               
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;


 


(2)               
the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law;


 


(3)               
a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or


 


(4)               
the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.


 


(c)          
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly
appoint a 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.

7.09          
Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.


 


If the Trustee consolidates,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor
corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.


 


Section

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE


 


For purposes of the
Notes, 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), (4), (5) and (8) 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.

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;


 


(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 Company’s Obligations to Holders of Securities in the case of a merger or consolidation
or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;


 


(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)               
[Reserved]


 


(6)              
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;


 


(7)              
to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor trustee pursuant to the requirements
hereof;


 


(8)               
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


 


(9)               
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.


 






    	 	58	 



     


    

 


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.


 


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.

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.

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.

Capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.


 


(1)            Interest.
Clearway Energy Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), promises to pay interest
on the principal amount of this Note at 4.750% per annum from ________________, ___ until maturity. The Company shall pay interest
semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 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.


 


(2)            Method
of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered
Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 1 and September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such
Notes are 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.


 


(3)            Paying
Agent and Registrar. Initially, Delaware Trust Company, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or parent entities may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


(4)            Indenture.
The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of December 11, 2019 (the “Indenture”) among the Company,
the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts
with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured
obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.


 






    	 	A-4	 



     


    

 


(5)            Optional
Redemption.

any time prior to March 15, 2023, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 104.750% of the principal
amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with an amount equal to the net
cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant interest payment date; provided that:


 


(i)                 at
least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company,
its Subsidiaries and parent entities) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and


 


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

(13)         Trustee
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 to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.
The Trustee is also subject to and entitled to the benefits of Article 7 of the Indenture.

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.

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

to herein) and Delaware Trust Company, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

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
