(the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Clearway Energy Operating LLC (formerly known as NRG Yield
Operating LLC) (or its permitted successor), a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), the Company,

WHEREAS, the Company
has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of August 18,
2016 providing for the issuance of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”);


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


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

WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.


 


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

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


 


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