 THE NOTES 

Section 2.01 Form and Dating. 
 (a)
General. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly
agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

(b) Global Notes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.01, Notes issued in global form (and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication of such Notes) will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 or A-2 (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached
thereto). Each such Note will be dated the date of its authentication. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.01, Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 (but without the Global
Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto) in an aggregate denomination equal to (i) in the case of the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes, $1,250,000,000 and
(ii) in the case of any Additional Notes the aggregate initial principal amount of such Notes. Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and
redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee,
in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06. 
 (c) Temporary Global Notes.
Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Notes initially in

the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Restricted Period will be terminated upon
the receipt by the Trustee of: 
 (1) a written certificate from the Depositary, together with copies of certificates from
Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial owners
thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in (A) a Global Note substantially in
the form of Exhibit A-1, bearing the Global Note Legend and the Private Placement Legend, deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or its nominee, and issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal
amount of the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) a Global Note bearing the Global Note Legend and the Private Placement Legend, deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or the nominee of the
Depositary, and issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of Notes sold to Institutional Accredited Investors), all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b) hereof; and

Following the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to any Notes, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note
will be exchanged, pursuant to the Applicable Procedures, for beneficial interests in a permanent Global Note, which will be in the form of Exhibit A-1 bearing the Global Note Legend and the Private Placement Legend, deposited with or on
behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, and issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note upon expiration of the Restricted Period.
Simultaneously with the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent
Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided. 

(3) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the
Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be

(d) Additional Notes. Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company may from time to time after the Notes
Issue Date issue Additional Notes as provided in Exhibit F, which is incorporated by reference in this Section 2.01(d). 

  
 35 







 (e) Exchange Notes. Any Exchange Notes shall be in the same form as the Initial Notes,
except as otherwise provided in Section 2.06(f), and Exchange Notes issued in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be Unrestricted Global Notes or Unrestricted Definitive Notes. 

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. 

At least one Authorized Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be
valid. 
 A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by at
least one Authorized Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at
any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes 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 or an Affiliate of the
Company. 
 The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes (and, in each case, any Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor) shall be treated
as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, and unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Notes shall include the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes (and, in each case, any Exchange Notes issued in exchange
therefor). Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to modify, replace or otherwise affect the restrictions on transfer applicable to Restricted Notes set forth in Section 2.06. 

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent; Depositary. 

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes 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 may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. 

  
 36 







 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 or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, Additional Interest if any, or 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. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. 
 The
Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Company on its own behalf and on behalf of the Guarantors will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such
date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). 

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note 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 Notes will be exchanged by
the Company for Definitive Notes if: 
 (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is
unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Notes or that it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days
after the date of such notice from the Depositary; 
 (2) the Company, at its option, determines that the Global Notes (in
whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary 

  
 37 







 
Global Note be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required
pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act; or

shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10. Every Note authenticated and delivered in
exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may
not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f).

U.S. Person (other than the Initial Purchasers). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. 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). 

(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and
exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1), the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

 38 







 (ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing
information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or 
 (B) both: 

(i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable

required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities Act. 
 Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with
Section 2.06(f), the requirements of this Section 2.06(b)(2) shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the

the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h). 

(3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global
Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) and the Registrar receives the

then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B, including the certifications in item (1) thereof;

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

(A) such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to an Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Holder of the beneficial interest to be transferred, in the case of an exchange, or the transferee, in the case of a transfer, certifies in the applicable Letter of Transmittal that it is not (i) a Broker-Dealer, (ii) a Person

beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit C, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or 

(ii) if the Holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a
Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit B, including the certifications in item (4) thereof; and, in each such case
set forth in this subparagraph (D), if the Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar and the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in

 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note 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 Note is replaced. The Company
may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 

  
 52 







 Every replacement Note 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 Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in
Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes
of Section 3.07. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replacement Note is held by a “protected purchaser” under the uniform commercial code. 

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases
to accrue. 
 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 Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest. 

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 
 In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes 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 Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. 
 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 

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

 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes
(subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 

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. 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; provided that no such special record date may be
less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 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 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, it must furnish to the
Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth: 

(1) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur; 

(2) the redemption date; 

(3) the series, or more than one series, if applicable, of Notes to be redeemed; 

(4) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; 

(5) the redemption price; and 

(6) the CUSIP number of the Notes to be redeemed. 

  
 54 







 Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, or less than all of the Notes of a particular series are to be redeemed, the
Trustee will select Notes for redemption pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (provided that, in the case of Global Notes, the Depositary may select Global Notes for redemption
pursuant to its Applicable Procedures) and, if applicable, with such adjustments that may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $100,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof will be purchased unless
otherwise required by law, Depositary requirements, or applicable stock exchange requirements; provided that if only Notes of a particular series are to be redeemed, such selection by the Trustee shall be limited to Notes of such series. 

No Notes of $100,000 or less can be redeemed in part. In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be
selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $100,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire
outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not in the amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000 thereof, shall be redeemed. 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. 
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice
of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed 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 pursuant to Article 8 or 12. 
 The notice will identify the Notes to be
redeemed and will state: 
 (1) the redemption date; 

(2) the redemption price; 

(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 in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note; 

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

  
 55 







 (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 will 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 45 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter
period is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable
on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 
 Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase
Price. 
 At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company will deposit or will cause to be deposited with the Trustee
or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money
deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the
Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed 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 is not so paid upon surrender for redemption 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. 


  
 56 







 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. 

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

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. 

At any time or from time to time prior to January 1, 2024 (the “Call Date”), the Company may, at its option, redeem all
or a part of the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes issued for the Initial Notes (collectively, the “Initial Series Notes”), at a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Price plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Initial
Series Notes, if any, up to but excluding the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date, without
duplication). 
 “Make-Whole Price” with respect to any Initial Series Notes to be redeemed, means an amount equal to the
greater of: 
 (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Initial Series Notes, without any premium, penalty or charge; and

 (2) An amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest from
the redemption date to the Call Date (assuming the principal amount is scheduled to be paid on the Call Date and not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued and paid on the redemption date) discounted back to the redemption date
on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points; 

“Treasury Rate” means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant
maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) which has become publicly available at least two Business Days (but not more than five Business Days) prior to the relevant redemption date
(or, if such Statistical Release is not so published or available, any publicly available source of similar market data selected by the Company in good faith)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Call Date on which the
principal of the Notes being redeemed will be paid in full; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to such Call Date is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly
average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if
the period from the redemption date to such Call Date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. 

The notice of redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the Make-Whole Price but only the manner of calculation
thereof. The Company will notify the Trustee of the Make-Whole Price with respect to any redemption promptly after the calculation, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation. 

  
 57 







 At any time on or after the Call Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of
the Initial Series Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Initial Series Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the redemption date, without any premium, penalty or charge
(subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date, without duplication). 

Section 3.08 Open Market Purchases; No Mandatory Redemption or Sinking Fund. 

The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. The Company
is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 3.09 Offer to Purchase by Application of
Excess Proceeds, Excess Loss Proceeds, PLD Excess Proceeds and LNG SPA Mandatory Offer Amount. 
 In the event that, pursuant to
Section 4.12, Section 4.19, Section 4.20, or Section 4.21, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer,” an “Excess Loss
Proceeds Offer” a “PLD Excess Proceeds Offer” or a “LNG SPA Mandatory Offer” respectively), it will follow the procedures specified below. 

The Asset Sale Offer, the Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable, shall be
made to all Holders and all holders of all other Senior Debt (or will prepay such Senior Debt) then outstanding containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem or requirements to prepay
(i) with the proceeds of sales of assets, (ii) with the proceeds of an event of loss, (iii) with the proceeds of PLD Excess Proceeds, or (iv) as a result of LNG SPA prepayment events, to purchase, redeem or repay, as applicable,
the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Senior Debt that may be purchased, redeemed or repaid out of such proceeds. The Asset Sale Offer, the Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as
applicable, with respect to all Holders will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the
“Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds, Excess Loss Proceeds, PLD Excess Proceeds or LNG SPA
Mandatory Offer Amount, as applicable (the “Offer Amount”), to the purchase of Notes and such other Senior Debt (on a pro rata basis, if applicable, pursuant to the pro rata payment provisions in the CSAA) or, if less
than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer, the Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable. Payment for any
Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made hereunder. 

  
 58 







 If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest
Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who
tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, the Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable. 

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as
applicable, the Company will send, by first class mail, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer, the Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG
SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable, will state: 
 (1) that the Asset Sale Offer, Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess
Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable, is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.12, Section 4.19, Section 4.20, or Section 4.21, as applicable, and
the length of time the Asset Sale Offer, Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable, will remain open; 

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrete or accrue interest; 

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer,
Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable, will cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess
Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable, may elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only; 

(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, the PLD Excess
Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable, will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer,
to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case
may be, receives, not later than the expiration 

  
 59 







 
of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement
that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
 (8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of
Notes and other Senior Debt tendered by Holders thereof or required to be prepaid, exceeds the Offer Amount, the Notes, and such other Senior Debt, shall be purchased on a pro rata basis as determined pursuant to the CSAA and the Trustee will
select the Notes or portions thereof to be purchased by lot, on a pro rata basis or by any other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that, in the case of Global Notes, the Depositary may select Global Notes
for redemption pursuant to its Applicable Procedures (and, if applicable, with respect to the Notes, with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof, will be purchased); and 
 (9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new
Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
 On or before
the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, Excess Loss Proceeds Offer,
the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with
an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be,
will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the
Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer, the Excess Loss Proceeds Offer,
the PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, as applicable, on the Purchase Date.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any

amount not exceeding $100,000,000 in the aggregate outstanding at any one time to finance the purchase or lease of assets for the Development other than those financed with the proceeds of Senior Debt; provided that, if such obligations are
secured, they are secured only by Liens upon the assets being financed; 
 (i) other unsecured Indebtedness in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $100,000,000 for general corporate purposes, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness thereof; 
 (j) other unsecured
Indebtedness in an aggregate amount not to exceed $400,000,000 to finance Permitted Development Expenditures, an Expansion or any other Development Expenditures, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness thereof; 

(k) to the extent constituting Indebtedness, indebtedness arising from honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or
similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course or other cash management services in the ordinary course of business; 

(l) Indebtedness in respect of netting services, overdraft protections and otherwise in connection with deposit accounts; 

(m) contingent liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business, including the acquisition or sale of goods, services, supplies or
merchandise in the normal course of business, the endorsement of negotiable instruments received in the normal course of business and indemnities provided under any of the Finance Documents or Material Project Agreements; 

(n) to the extent constituting Indebtedness, obligations in respect of performance bonds, bid bonds, appeal bonds, surety bonds,
indemnification obligations, obligations to pay insurance premiums, take-or-pay obligations contained in supply agreements and similar obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business; 

(o) trade debt, trade accounts, purchase money obligations or other similar Indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business, which

to classify or divide such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify or redivide all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this 

  
 66 







 
covenant. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same
terms, or the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount of
any such accrual, accretion or payment of Indebtedness constituting Senior Debt is included in Senior Debt Obligations of the Company as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. 

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: 

(r) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount; 

(s) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the least of: 

(1) the Fair Market Value of such asset at the date of determination; 

(2) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person; and 

(3) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness. 

Section 4.09 Incurrence of Senior Debt. 

(a) Working Capital Debt. For so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing or would occur
after giving effect to the incurrence of the Working Capital Debt, the Company may incur Working Capital Debt in an amount that, at any point in time, does not in the aggregate exceed the sum of (a) $250,000,000 plus (b) the
aggregate amount of working capital that the Company reasonably expects will need to be available to the Development (including pursuant to letters of credit) in order to purchase, transport or store Gas and/or meet credit support requirements under
Gas purchase, transport or storage agreements in order to supply the LNG amounts contemplated under all LNG SPAs then in effect, plus (c) an amount equivalent to the then-applicable Reserve Amount required to be deposited in the Senior
Debt Service Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.5 of the CSAA or, if there is no requirement to fund the debt service reserve account with respect to the then-outstanding Senior Debt Obligations, an amount equal to the Reserve Amount
that would have been then applicable had such requirement existed. 
 In connection with the incurrence of any Working Capital Debt: 

(1) the provider of Working Capital Debt (or a Senior Creditor Group Representative on its behalf) that is secured shall accede
as a Senior Creditor to the CSAA and the Common Terms Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, if such agreements are still outstanding, and shall share pari passu in the Collateral; and 

  
 67 







 (2) in respect of Working Capital Debt that is secured, the Intercreditor Agent
shall have received a certificate from an Authorized Officer at least five days prior to the incurrence of such Working Capital Debt that (i) identifies each Senior Creditor Group Representative for, and each holder of, any such Working Capital
Debt, and (ii) attaches a copy of each proposed Senior Debt Instrument relating to any such Working Capital Debt. 
 (b) Replacement
Senior Debt. At any time and from time to time, the Company may incur replacement senior debt (“Replacement Senior Debt”), so long as: 

(1) in the case of any Replacement Senior Debt to be incurred following the first Date of First Commercial Delivery that occurs
under any Initial LNG SPA which has designated Train Two as a designated Train, the Senior Debt (excluding Working Capital Debt and excluding all Indebtedness under Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instruments) outstanding after giving effect to the
incurrence of the Replacement Senior Debt is capable of being amortized to a zero balance by the termination date of the last to terminate of the Qualifying LNG SPAs then in effect and produces a Projected Fixed DSCR of at least 1.40:1.00 for the
period commencing on the first Indenture Payment Date to occur after the last “guaranteed substantial completion date” (as defined in the applicable engineering, procurement and construction contract) with respect to any Trains then in
construction (or if the Date of First Commercial Delivery has occurred with respect to all Trains, the first Indenture Payment Date to occur after the date of incurrence of such Replacement Senior Debt) through the terms of such Qualifying LNG SPAs
(with such ratio being calculated using such Qualifying LNG SPAs and using an interest rate equal to the weighted average interest rate of Senior Debt (excluding Working Capital Debt) outstanding after giving effect to the incurrence of the
Replacement Senior Debt and the prepayment or repayment of the existing Senior Debt or cancellation of the applicable Senior Debt Commitments); and 

(2) the Replacement Senior Debt is incurred for the permitted refinancing or prepayment in whole or in part of existing Senior
Debt including by way of renewal, replacement, redemption or discharge thereof, (and provisions, costs, prepayment premiums, fees or expenses associated with the Replacement Senior Debt or the prepaid Senior Debt, as applicable (including without
duplication (i) any Hedging Termination Amount with respect to any Permitted Hedging Instrument subject to the refinancing with the proposed Replacement Senior Debt; (ii) any amounts required to be deposited in a debt service reserve or
similar reserve (or any interest during construction) account in connection with the issuance of such Replacement Senior Debt; and (iii) any incremental carrying costs of such Replacement Senior Debt (including any increased interest during
construction) associated with any such cancellation, prepayment or redemption, or incurred in connection with the proposed Replacement Senior Debt)), or the permitted replacement of existing unutilized commitments of a Senior Creditor Group (or,
within a Senior Creditor Group, of any Facility Lender). 
 Any provider of Replacement Senior Debt (or a Senior Creditor Group
Representative on its behalf) will accede as a Senior Creditor to the CSAA and will share pari passu in the Collateral. 

  
 68 







 (c) Expansion Senior Debt. The Company may incur Senior Debt to finance a Permitted
Development Expenditure or Expansion (“Expansion Senior Debt”), as the case may be, so long as each of the following conditions is satisfied and the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate from an Authorized
Officer certifying that such conditions have been satisfied: 
 (1) if the Expansion Senior Debt is incurred to fund
Permitted Development Expenditures, (i) the design, development, construction and operation of such Permitted Development Expenditure is permitted by Section 4.10 and (ii) the aggregate amount of Expansion Senior Debt used or
to be used for Permitted Development Expenditures falling into categories (b) and (c) of the definition thereof is less than $300,000,000; 

(2) if the Expansion Senior Debt is incurred to fund an Expansion, the design, development, construction and operation of such
Expansion is permitted by Section 4.11; 
 (3) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and
is Continuing; 
 (4) in the event any Train, LNG SPA or engineering, construction and procurement contract related to the
Train or Trains being financed with the proceeds of such Expansion Senior Debt (such Train, LNG SPA and engineering, construction and procurement contract, the “Applicable Expansion Debt Assets”) are not part of the Collateral,
prior to the incurrence of such Expansion Senior Debt, the applicable Obligor will deliver such additional agreements and supplements to the Security Documents as are necessary or advisable in order to subject such Applicable Expansion Debt Assets
to the Security Interests at the time such Expansion Senior Debt is incurred; 
 (5) any Required LNG SPAs are then in effect
and there is no material payment default or breach thereunder (or, for any new Required LNG SPA related to LNG to be produced from the Expansion, remain subject only to customary conditions that could be satisfied upon taking an investment decision
with respect to the Expansion); 
 (6) if the Expansion Senior Debt is incurred to fund an Expansion, the amount of all
Senior Debt (excluding Working Capital Debt and excluding all Indebtedness under Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instruments) outstanding after giving effect to the incurrence of Expansion Senior Debt is capable of being amortized to a zero balance by
the termination date of the last to terminate of the Qualifying LNG SPAs then in effect and incremental Qualifying LNG SPAs entered into in respect of sales of LNG associated with the Expansion, and produces a Projected Fixed DSCR of at least
1.40:1.00 for the period commencing on the first Indenture Payment Date to occur after the last “guaranteed substantial completion date” (as defined in the applicable engineering, procurement and construction contract) with respect to any
Trains then in construction or with respect to which the Expansion Senior Debt is being incurred, through the terms of such Qualifying LNG SPAs (with such ratio calculated using such Qualifying LNG SPAs and using an interest rate equal to the
weighted average interest rate of Senior Debt (excluding Working Capital Debt) outstanding after giving effect to the incurrence of the Expansion Senior Debt); 

  
 69 







 (7) if the Expansion Senior Debt is incurred to fund an Expansion: 

(A) for so long as at least $1 billion of Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith are outstanding, the Company
has obtained the consent of the Facility Lenders pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Common Terms Agreement if such consent is required under the Common Terms Agreement or a Facility Agreement prior to the incurrence of Expansion Senior Debt;
or 
 (B) the Company has obtained and delivered to the Trustee a Rating Reaffirmation in respect of the Notes on the basis
of the incurrence of such Expansion Senior Debt; 
 (8) the final maturity date of the Expansion Senior Debt is no earlier
than the latest “guaranteed substantial completion date” set forth in the applicable engineering, procurement and construction contract for that part of the Development associated with the applicable Train or Trains forming part of such
Expansion; and 
 (9) the Expansion Senior Debt does not benefit from any security or guarantee from the Obligors or the
Sponsor or its Affiliates that is in addition to any security or guarantee from such Persons provided in respect of the Initial Senior Debt unless such security or guarantee is provided for the equal and ratable benefit of each Senior Creditor. 

Section 4.10 Permitted Development Expenditures. 

The Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may make Development Expenditures that qualify as Permitted Development Expenditures. In
addition, for the avoidance of doubt, a Development Expenditure may also be made in connection with an Expansion or as a result of permitted modifications of an engineering, procurement and construction contract.

(2) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Company certifying that no

construction of the Expansion; 

  
 71 







 (B) a FERC order with respect to the Expansion: (i) has been obtained

to be able to satisfy on or prior to the commencement of the relevant stage of Development except to the extent that failure to satisfy such condition or requirement would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 

(C) each Export Authorization in respect of the quantum of sales contemplated in connection with the Expansion: (i) has
been obtained, (ii) is in full force and effect and (iii) is free from conditions and requirements (y) the compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (z) that the applicable Obligor

have been assigned to the Security Trustee for the benefit of the Senior Creditors, and the Obligors have obtained a direct agreement with the Security Trustee in respect of each such funding commitment from the entity providing such funding
commitment; and 

  
 72 







 (C) Development-generated funds are a source of funding, then such funds are
projected by the Company to be freely available for Restricted Payments (taking into account the condition to the making of Restricted Payments in Section 4.06(b), but no others), such projection to be detailed, based on reasonable
assumptions and certified by an Authorized Officer to the Trustee. This certification will not require any further determination by the Trustee. 

Section 4.12 Asset Sales. 
 (a) The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless each of the following conditions are satisfied and the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate of an Authorized Officer of
the Company certifying that such conditions have been satisfied: 
 (1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the
case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2) at least 90% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash,
Authorized Investments or Replacement Assets or a combination thereof. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(A) any liabilities, as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet (or as would be shown on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet as of the date of such Asset Sale) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by
the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a written novation agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability therefor; and 

(B) any securities, Notes or other obligations received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that
are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Authorized Investments within 90 days after such Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Authorized Investments received in that conversion. 

(b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be) may apply an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds: 
 (1) to repay any Senior Debt in accordance with the
applicable Senior Debt Instrument; or 

  
 73 







 (2) to make any capital expenditure or to purchase Replacement Assets (or enter
into a binding agreement to make such capital expenditure or to purchase such Replacement Assets); provided that (i) such capital expenditure or purchase is consummated within the later of (x) 360 days after the receipt of the Net
Cash Proceeds from the related Asset Sale and (y) 180 days after the date of such binding agreement and (ii) if such capital expenditure or purchase is not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (i), the amount not so applied
will be deemed to be Excess Proceeds. 
 (c) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or the applicable
Restricted Subsidiary may reduce Working Capital Debt or other revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 

(d) An amount equal to any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this
Section 4.12 will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” If on any date, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $200,000,000, then within ten Business Days after such date, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer in
accordance with Section 3.09. The offer price or prepayment amount in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding,
the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain unapplied after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited
by this Indenture. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be governed by the provisions of Section 5.01 and not by the provisions
of this Section 4.12. 
 (f) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 or this Section 4.12, or compliance with the provisions of Section 3.09 or this Section 4.12 would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations,
the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 or this Section 4.12 by virtue of such compliance. 

(g) If the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, receives any Net Cash Proceeds applied to the prepayment of Senior Debt and this Indenture does
not require the Company to make an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to this Section 4.12, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to deposit such proceeds in the Construction Account or the Revenue Account, as applicable, and the Trustee shall
be required to make such deposit. 
 (h) Pending their application all Net Cash Proceeds while held by the Company in an Account will be
invested as Authorized Investments in which the Security Trustee has a 

  
 74 







 
perfected Security Interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject only to Permitted Liens. The Company will grant to the Security Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a security
interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, on any property or assets purchased, rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed with such Excess Proceeds on the terms set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents.

Board of Directors of the Company to be fair and reasonable); 
 (f) transactions or agreements between or among the Company and/or its
Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (g) Subordinated Debt between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries and any of their

entered into the required Security Documents in respect of its rights under such agreements; 
 (i) any employment agreement, employee
benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

its Restricted Subsidiaries; and 
 (p) any arrangements entered into in accordance with the provisions in Section 4.27 and
Section 4.28. 
 Prior to entering into any agreement with an Affiliate pursuant to clause (e) above, and involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $50,000,000, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Company as to the satisfaction of the applicable condition set forth in such clause (e). 

Section 4.14 Liens. 
 Subject to
Section 3 of the CSAA, the Company will not and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to assume, incur, permit or suffer to exist any Lien on any of their assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for Permitted
Liens. 
 Section 4.15 Nature of Business. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to engage in any business or activities other than the Permitted
Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 Subject to Section 5.01, the Company and each Guarantor shall do all things necessary to
maintain: (a) its corporate, limited liability company or partnership, as applicable, existence in its jurisdiction of organization; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit conversion into another form of entity or continuation in
another jurisdiction and (b) the power and authority (corporate and otherwise) necessary under the applicable law to own its properties and to carry on the business of the Development. Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall not dissolve,
liquidate, and shall not take any action to amend or modify its corporate constituent or governing documents where such amendment would be adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

 Section 4.17 Change of Control. 

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs and the exceptions set forth in Section 4.17(e) do not apply, the Company will
be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the Notes (a “Change of Control Offer”) for payment (a “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased,
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (“Change of Control Payment Date,” which date will be no earlier than the date of such Change of Control). No later than 30 days following
any Change of Control, the Company will mail 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 4.17 and that all Notes tendered will
be accepted for payment; 
 (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later
than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed; 
 (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrete or accrue
interest; 
 (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for
payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrete or 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 will be required to surrender the

Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if

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 $100,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to
the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this
Section 4.17, 

  
 77 







 
or compliance with this Section 4.17 would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will

Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of

 (1) CCL breaches the LNG SPA maintenance covenant in
Section 4.29; or 

  
 81 







 (2) with respect to a Required LNG SPA, a Required Export Authorization becomes
Impaired and CCL does not (i) provide a remediation plan to the Trustee (setting forth in reasonable detail proposed steps to reinstate the Required Export Authorization or to modify its LNG SPA arrangements such that such Export Authorization
is no longer a Required Export Authorization with respect to any or all of such Required LNG SPAs (each such item, an “Export Authorization Remediation”)) within 30 days following such Impairment, and (ii) cause such Export
Authorization Remediation to become effective within 90 days following the occurrence of such Impairment, which period is automatically extended by an additional 90 days to effect the Export Authorization Remediation if CCL certifies to the Trustee
prior to the termination of the initial 90 day period that (A) CCL is diligently pursuing its plan for the Export Authorization Remediation and (B) the Impairment of the Required Export Authorization could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect during such subsequent cure period; provided that if no Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith remain outstanding, the maximum period within which CCL shall effect such Export
Authorization Remediation under sub-clause (b)(ii) is 360 days. 
 (b) To the extent any Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection
therewith are outstanding and the Intercreditor Agent has approved any extension of the time period in which a remediation plan must be submitted or in which an Export Authorization Remediation must take effect, then the Company shall have the
benefit of such extended period under this Indenture to submit such remediation plan or for such Export Authorization Remediation to take effect. 

(c) For so long as at least $1 billion of Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith are outstanding, the Company shall make an

provisions of the CSAA) in an amount as determined in accordance with the LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment provisions of the Common Terms Agreement (such amount, the “LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment Amount (CTA Calculation)”). 

(d) For so long as Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith are outstanding but are less than $1 billion, the Company shall
make a LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment in accordance with the provisions of the Common Terms Agreement (including an LNG SPA Mandatory Offer in an amount as determined in accordance with the applicable pro rata payment of Senior Debt Obligations
provisions of the CSAA) in an amount (such amount, the “LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment Amount (CTA/Indenture Calculation)”) equal to the greater of: 

(1) the amount of the LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment as required by the Common Terms Agreement; and 

(2) the difference between: 

(A) the aggregate principal amount of Senior Debt then outstanding plus the aggregate principal amount of undrawn Facility Debt
Commitments, less 

  
 82 







 (B) the maximum amount of Senior Debt that can be incurred such that it is
capable of being amortized to a zero balance through the termination date of the last to terminate of the Qualifying LNG SPAs then in effect (including any Replacement Indenture Qualifying LNG SPAs entered into to replace any LNG SPAs whose
termination triggered the Indenture LNG SPA Prepayment Event) and produces an Indenture Projected Fixed DSCR of at least 1.40:1.00 through the terms of such Qualifying LNG SPAs, with such calculation using all such Qualifying LNG SPAs in respect of
which there is in effect their Required Export Authorizations which are not Impaired, and using an interest rate equal to the weighted average interest rate of all Senior Debt (other than Working Capital Debt) then outstanding. 

(e) For so long as there are no Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith outstanding, the Company shall make an LNG SPA
Mandatory Offer in accordance with Section 3.09 in an aggregate amount (such amount, the “LNG SPA Mandatory Offer Amount”) equal to: 

(1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Senior Debt then outstanding, less 

(2) the maximum amount of Senior Debt that can be incurred such that it is capable of being amortized to a zero balance through
the termination date of the last to terminate of the Qualifying LNG SPAs then in effect (including any new Qualifying LNG SPAs entered into to replace an LNG SPA whose termination triggered the Indenture LNG SPA Prepayment Event) and produces an
Indenture Projected Fixed DSCR of at least 1.40:1.00 through the terms of such Qualifying LNG SPAs, with such calculation using all such Qualifying LNG SPAs in respect of which there is in effect their Required Export Authorizations which are not
Impaired, and using an interest rate equal to the weighted average interest rate of all Senior Debt (other than Working Capital Debt) then outstanding. 

(f) The offer price in any LNG SPA Mandatory Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid
interest, and Additional Interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase and will be payable in cash. 
 (g) In the event that the
principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of purchase, is: 

(1) in the case of an LNG SPA Mandatory Offer made pursuant to Section 4.21(c) less than the pro rata
portion of the LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment Amount (CTA Calculation) that is required to be applied toward the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer pursuant to the pro rata payment of Senior Debt Obligation provisions of the CSAA, the amount of the
difference shall be applied as if it was a Senior Debt Obligation (other than Notes) to be prepaid in accordance with the LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment provisions of the Common Terms Agreement; 

  
 83 







 (2) in the case of an LNG SPA Mandatory Offer made pursuant to
Section 4.21(d) less than the pro rata portion of the LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment Amount (CTA/Indenture Calculation) that is required to be applied toward the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer pursuant to the pro rata payment of Senior

Agreement; and 
 (3) in the case of an LNG SPA Mandatory Offer made pursuant to the Section 4.21(e), less than

 (h)
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant
to a LNG SPA Mandatory Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 or this Section 4.21 or compliance with the provisions of
Section 3.09 or this Section 4.21 would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its

behalf of the Secured Parties as named insureds, and in the case of any property insurance, loss payees to the extent provided under, in accordance with and pursuant to terms of, the CSAA. 

  
 84

a Replacement Indenture Qualifying LNG SPA, the termination of the LNG SPA being replaced and the entering into of the Replacement Indenture Qualifying LNG SPA, taken as a whole. 

The Company will notify the Trustee upon entry into any new Qualifying LNG SPA promptly (and in any event, within 30 days of entry into such
agreement), which notice will provide (a) a description thereof to the Trustee consistent with the description of the Initial LNG SPAs in the Offering Memorandum and (b) a statement of whether the Non-FTA Authorization, FTA Authorization,
both of the foregoing or any other Export Authorization(s) are Required Export Authorizations in respect of such Qualifying LNG SPA, in accordance with the definition of Required Export Authorization, together with reasonable background information

 Section 4.39 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would
otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 4.39. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted
Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a
certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and a certificate from an Authorized Officer certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions. If, at any time, any
Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to
be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date by Section 4.08, the Company will be in default of the covenants described in such section.
The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company. Any such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (a) such Indebtedness is permitted by Section 4.08 calculated on a pro forma basis; and (b) no Event
of Default or Unmatured Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

 (g) not hold itself out as being liable
for the debts of the Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof and not guarantee the debts of the Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof except as permitted by the Finance Documents; 

(h) not acquire or assume obligations or securities of, or make loans or advances to, any of its Affiliates except as required under the
Finance Documents; 
 (i) maintain separate financial statements, showing its assets and liabilities separate and apart from those of any
other Person, and not have its assets listed on the balance sheet of any other Person; provided that such Obligor may also report its financial statements on a consolidated or combined basis with one or more of its Affiliates in accordance
with GAAP so long as appropriate notation is made on such consolidated financial statements to indicate the separateness of the Company and its Subsidiaries from such Affiliate(s) and to disclose the separate nature of the Company and its
Subsidiaries indebtedness; 
 (j) prepare and file its own tax returns separate from those of any Person except to the extent that the
Company and its Subsidiaries is treated as a “disregarded entity” for tax purposes and is not required to file tax returns under applicable law; 

(k) pay its own liabilities and expenses out of its own assets (except as provided under the Finance Documents); 

(l) pay the salaries of its own employees, if any, and maintain a sufficient number of employees in light of its contemplated business

from any of its Affiliates; 
 (m) maintain adequate capitalization in light of its contemplated business and obligations;

 (o) procure
that the Company shall have an independent director or manager appointed in accordance with its Constitutional Documents; and 
 (p) have and
maintain Constitutional Documents which comply with the requirements of this Section 4.4; 
 provided that no limitation
in this Section shall apply to the Company and its Subsidiaries as among one another. 
 Section 4.41 Use of Proceeds. 

The Company will use the proceeds of the Notes solely for purposes permitted in the applicable Finance Documents. 

Section 4.42 Payments for Consents. 

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder, in its capacity as a Holder, for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be
paid and is paid to all Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 

Section 4.43 Changes in Covenants when Notes Rated Investment Grade. 

(a) If, on any date, following the Notes Issue Date: 

(1) the Notes become Investment Grade; and 

(2) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be Continuing, 

then, beginning on that day and continuing at all times thereafter regardless of any subsequent changes in the rating of the Notes, the
covenants set forth in Section 5.01(c), Section 4.18 and Section 4.34 will no longer be applicable to the Notes. 

  
 94 







 (b) In addition, on any date following the date on which the Company satisfies the conditions in
clauses (1) and (2) of clause (a) above, the restrictions contained in the covenants set forth in Section 4.08 and Section 4.25 shall be of no further force and effect and shall be replaced with the following:

 “The Company will not and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur Indebtedness, and will not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to issue preferred stock; provided that the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness and Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company may issue preferred stock (i) permitted to be incurred
and/or issued as described in paragraphs (a) through (q) of Section 4.08 (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Additional Senior Debt, incurred in accordance with the provisions described under
Section 4.09) and (ii) if either of the following conditions have been satisfied: 
  

	 	(A)	The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Company certifying that the amount of all Senior Debt (excluding Working Capital Debt and excluding all Indebtedness under
Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Instruments) outstanding, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, is capable of being amortized to a zero balance by the termination date of the last to terminate of the Qualifying LNG SPAs then in
effect and produces a Indenture Projected Fixed DSCR of at least 1.40:1.00 through the terms of such Qualifying LNG SPAs (with such ratio calculated using such Qualifying LNG SPAs, and using an interest rate equal to the weighted average interest
rate of Senior Debt (excluding Working Capital Debt) outstanding after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds therefrom); or 


 

	 	(B)	The Company has obtained and delivered to the Trustee a Rating Reaffirmation in respect of the Notes after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness.”

outstanding may, declare, by notice in writing to the Company (which notice, if given by the Holders, may also be delivered by the Holders to the Trustee), the occurrence of an Event of Default (an “Declared Event of Default”) on
and at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless Holders of a greater percentage of the principal amount of Notes direct the Trustee otherwise). An Event of Default also will be deemed to have occurred and been declared without
such declaration or other notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(c)(1). 
 The Trustee will
deliver a copy of any notice declaring the occurrence of an Event of Default (whether initially delivered by the Trustee or Holders) to the Security Trustee pursuant to the CSAA. 

Section 6.03 Acceleration. 
 In the
case of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(c)(1), all Senior Debt Obligations under the Notes will accelerate automatically and will immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, vote or other notice or
action of any kind. Upon the occurrence and Continuation of any other Declared Event of Default, the Trustee or Holders of at least 33 1⁄3% of the principal
amount of Notes outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by notice in writing to the Company (which notice, if given by the Holders, shall also be delivered by the Holders to the Trustee) specifying the Event of
Default. Upon any such declaration of acceleration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. Such notice may be included within a notice from the Trustee or the applicable Holders of the Notes declaring the occurrence of such Event of
Default. The Trustee will deliver a copy of any notice of acceleration of the Senior Debt Obligations under the Notes (whether initially delivered by the Trustee or Holders) to the Security Trustee pursuant to the CSAA. 

Section 6.04 Waivers of Defaults and Acceleration. 

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive a Continuing Unmatured Event of Default, Continuing Event of Default or Declared Event of Default, except a Continuing Unmatured Event of Default, Continuing Event of Default or Declared Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, 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 rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Any notice delivered in respect of any such waiver or rescission shall be referred to as an
“Cessation Notice.” 

  
 101 







 Upon any such waiver, such Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default or Declared Event of
Default shall cease to exist, and any Unmatured Event of Default, Event of Default or Declared Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture. 

The Trustee will deliver a copy of any Cessation Notice to the Security Trustee pursuant to the CSAA. 

Section 6.05 Remedies of Holders. 

If a Declared Event of Default occurs and is Continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal,
premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

Except as set forth in Section 6.07 and Section 6.12, a Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes only if: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is Continuing;

 (b) Holders of at least 33 1⁄3% of the
principal amount of Notes outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders have offered
to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee has not complied
with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 
 (e) Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 

Section 6.06 Control by Majority. 

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. 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 or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to
Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and subject to Section 6.12 hereof, the right of
any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and 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 

  
 102 







 
any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any
such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture
upon any property subject to such Lien. 
 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Notes 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 and Additional Interest, if any, and interest 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 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 the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 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, or, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable
in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

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

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium and Additional Interest, 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 and Additional Interest, 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 pursuant to this Section 6.10.

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, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 

Section 6.12 Applicability of the CSAA.

permitted under this Indenture, the Trustee and each Holder hereby consent and agree under this Indenture that, subject to any non-waivable rights held by a Holder with respect to pursuit of remedies under Applicable Law, any pursuit of a remedy or
enforcement pursued under or pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the CSAA. The Trustee and Holders agree that if Holders meet the criteria in this Indenture to pursue a remedy
or enforcement of the performance of any provision of this Indenture directly, they shall be deemed to be doing so on behalf of the Trustee (in its capacity as Senior Creditor Group Representative of the Holders under this Indenture) for purposes of
the CSAA and, in pursuit of such remedy or enforcement of the performance of any provision of this Indenture, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the CSAA.

 ARTICLE 7 

TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.01 Duties of
Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default 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 their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

(b) 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, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of
mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein). 
 (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: 

(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraphs (b) and (e) of this
Section 7.01; 
 (2) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible
Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (3) the Trustee will
not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05. 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to 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 will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense. 

  
 105 







 (f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee
may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee. 
 (a)
The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee
shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or
additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may
require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both; provided that an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel will not be required if the Indenture requires the Company to deliver a certificate of an Authorized
Officer of the Company in connection with such act or refrain from acting. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes, suffers or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or a
certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Company. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the 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 agent appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee will not be liable for any
action it takes, suffers or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 

(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company will be sufficient if
signed by an Officer of the Company. 
 (f) The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by
this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event
of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 

  
 106 







 (h) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of
its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military
disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action. 

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (and under the other Finance Documents to which it is a party) and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder or
thereunder. 
 (j) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably
believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (k) The Trustee may
request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any person authorized to
sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. 

(l) Anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential or
other similar loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit), even if the Trustee has been advised as to the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

(m) In order to comply with applicable tax laws, rules and regulations (inclusive of directives, guidelines and interpretations promulgated by
competent authorities) in effect from time to time (“Applicable Tax Law”) related to this Indenture, the Company agrees (i) to provide to the Trustee information about holders or other applicable parties and/or transactions
(including any modification to the terms of such transactions) that is within the possession of the Company and reasonably requested by the Trustee so the Trustee can determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Tax Law,
(ii) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Tax Law for which the Trustee shall not have any liability, and (iii) to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee for any losses it may suffer due to the actions it takes to comply with such Applicable Tax Law. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 

  
 107 







 Section 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 of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in Section 310(b) of the TIA) it must eliminate such conflict within 90
days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) 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.

 Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not
be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other
than its certificate of authentication. 
 The Trustee will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the
Collateral, for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or
omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company or
the Pledgor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or
warranty to the present and future holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral. For purposes of the two preceding sentences, the terms “Collateral,”
“Liens,” “Pledgor” and “Secured Obligations” shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Collateral Trust Agreement. 

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 
 If
an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default occurs and is Continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders a notice of the Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in
the case of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note, 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. 
 Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

(a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain
outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the 

  
 108 







 Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event
described in TIA §313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA §313(b). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by
TIA §313(c). 
 (b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company and
filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA §313(d). The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange. 

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 and of all Persons not regularly in its employ. 

(b) The Company and the Guarantors will indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor trustee and their officers, agents, directors and
employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and the Finance Documents, 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
or thereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence 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, the termination for any reason of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 (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 extent set forth under the CSAA, to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except
that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the termination for any reason of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

  
 109 







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

(f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA §313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 

(g) “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 
 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.

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 Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the
Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

 (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 Notes 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 Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

  
 110 







 (e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six
months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

(f) 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.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

Section 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 Person,
the successor Person without any further act will be the successor Trustee. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating
Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. 

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
 This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements
of TIA §310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA §310(b). 
 Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company. 
 The Trustee is subject to TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b). A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 Section 7.12 Authorization to Enter Into Accession
Agreement. 
 The Trustee is hereby authorized to exercise all the rights and perform all the obligations of a Secured Debt Holder Group
Representative set out in the Accession Documents (as defined in the Accession Agreement), including, without limitation, making, on behalf of the Holders, the agreements expressed to be made by Secured Debt Holders under the Finance Documents. 


  
 111 







 Section 7.13 Trustee Protective Provisions. 

Without duplication of any amounts the Trustee is entitled to recover under any indemnification provisions in the Finance Documents, the
rights, privileges, protections, indemnities, immunities and benefits provided to the Trustee in this Indenture are in addition to, and are not intended to be in conflict with or limited by, any such provisions in the Finance Documents. 

ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND
COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 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 Officer’s Certificate,
elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 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 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each
of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date
the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness
represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses
(1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note 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, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04;

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

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties 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. 

  
 112 







 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each
of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.06 through Section 4.43 and
Section 5.01(c) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 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 Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will 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 an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the
Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Section 6.01(b) through
Section 6.01(d) will not constitute Events of Default.

 (3) in the case of an
election under Section 8.03, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel 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 will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
 (6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that

deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and exclusions), stating that all conditions precedent set forth in clauses (2), (3) and (5) of this
Section 8.04 have been complied with; provided that the Opinion of Counsel with respect to clause (5) of this Section 8.04 may be to the knowledge of such counsel. 

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

Subject to Section 8.06, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited 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 and Additional Interest, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

The Company will 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 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. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will 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 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)), 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 or
Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its 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 will 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, 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 Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted
to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, 

  
 115 







 
premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to
receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9 

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders. 

Notwithstanding Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Notes and this Indenture or
the Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder: 
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or
inconsistency; 
 (2) to add covenants or defaults to this Indenture; 

(3) to modify the restrictive legends set forth on the face of the form of any series of Notes or modify the forms of
certification; 
 (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to Holders, increase the
interest rate applicable to the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any Holder; 

(5) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision under the “Description of
Senior Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim or substantially verbatim recitation of a provision of any of the foregoing; 

(6) to add additional assets as Collateral; 

(7) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; 

(8) to provide for assumption of an Obligor’s obligations by a successor pursuant to this Indenture; 

(9) to release a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee and terminate such Note Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture; 

(10) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the
TIA; 
 (11) to add any Note Guarantee; 

(12) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the
Notes Issue Date; or 

  
 116 







 (13) to evidence the succession of a new Trustee for any series of Notes. 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the Trustee will 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. Any such amendment or waiver that imposes any obligation upon the Trustee or adversely affects the rights of the
Indenture Trustee in its individual capacity will become effective only with the consent of the Indenture Trustee. 
 Section 9.02 With Consent of
Holders. 
 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture
(including Section 3.09, Section 4.12, Section 4.17, Section 4.19, Section 4.20, and Section 4.21) and the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class, or if such amendment or supplement applies to less than all series of Notes, all series
affected by such amendment or supplement, of each series affected by such amendment or supplement (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04
and Section 6.07, any existing Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default (other than an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, the
Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase
of, the Notes). Section 2.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, the Trustee will
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 be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

  
 117 







 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective,
the Company will mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail 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 Section 6.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive
compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder of each series of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (1) reduce a noteholder
voting threshold for consent in this Indenture to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the principal of or
change the fixed maturity of any Note; 
 (3) alter or waive any provisions or redemption payment with respect to the
redemption of the Notes (other than notice provisions); 
 (4) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest
on any Note; 
 (5) waive an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default in respect of the payment of principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such
acceleration); 
 (6) changes to the currency of the Notes; 

(7) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Unmatured Events of Default or the rights
of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; and 
 (8) making any change in
the preceding list of amendment and waiver provisions. 
 At the request of the Company, the Trustee is hereby authorized to, and shall,
execute one or more amendments to the CSAA based on the form of amendment to the CSAA attached hereto as Exhibit H, which amendments may include any one or more of the amendments to the CSAA provisions set forth in such form of amendment
attached hereto as Exhibit H. 

  
 118 







 Section 9.03 Decisions under Other Finance Documents. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or Section 7.2 of the CSAA to the contrary, the Trustee shall be required,
without the requirement of any vote or consent by the Holders, with respect to any Covered Modification, to vote as follows: 

(1) for any Covered Modification at a time when no Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith remain outstanding,
the Trustee shall vote in favor of such Covered Modification so long as such Covered Modification causes the provisions of the Finance Documents that are being amended to be equally or more restrictive on the Company than the covenants in this
Indenture; 
 (2) for any Covered Modification at a time when the Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith
then outstanding are less than 25% of the aggregate amount of Senior Debt then outstanding, the Trustee shall vote in conformity with the Term Lenders to the extent that any such Covered Modification causes the provisions of the Finance Documents
that are being amended to be equally or more restrictive on the Company than the covenants in this Indenture; 
 (3) for any
Covered Modification at a time when the Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith then outstanding are 25% or greater of the aggregate amount of Senior Debt then outstanding, the Trustee shall vote in conformity with the Intercreditor
Agent; 
 provided, however, that the Trustee shall vote as follows for certain modifications to the Finance Documents
described below (“Fundamental Modifications”): 
 (4) if any Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection
therewith remain outstanding, the Trustee shall vote in conformity with the Term Lenders with respect to Fundamental Modifications set forth in Sections 7.2(b)(ii)(A), 7.2(b)(ii)(B), 7.2(b)(ii)(C), and 7.2(b)(ii)(D) of
the CSAA, or any other material modification to any Security Document, if the Fundamental Modification is not materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes, in each case as set forth in a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Company, upon
which the Trustee may conclusively rely and will be fully protected in so relying, unless in any such case, such Fundamental Modification applies only to this Indenture; 

(5) if any Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith remain outstanding, the Trustee shall vote in conformity
with the Term Lenders with respect to Fundamental Modifications set forth in Sections 7.2(a)(ii)(A), 7.2(a)(ii)(B), 7.2(a)(ii)(C) of the CSAA, if the Fundamental Modification contemplated thereby (i) does not result in the
Notes receiving payments that are less than pari passu with the Loans (other than due to timing differences in when payments are due on the Notes in accordance with their terms), and (ii) does not result in a material adverse change,
when considered together with all other Fundamental Modifications to any particular item specified in this clause, to (x) the priority of the waterfall of payments under Section 4.7(a)(i)-(v) of the CSAA of any payment of
principal, interest or other amounts payable (whether by prepayment or otherwise) under the Notes or (y) the then-required funding under then effective Finance Documents of the Senior Debt Service Reserve Account, in each case as set forth in a
certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Company, upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely and will be fully protected in so relying; 

  
 119 







 (6) for any Fundamental Modifications set forth in Sections 7.2(a)(ii)(D),
7.2(a)(ii)(E), 7.1(a)(ii)(F), 7.2(b)(ii)(E) or 7.2(c) of the CSAA, the Trustee shall vote at the direction of the Holders of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as described in Article 9. 

(7) for any Fundamental Modifications made at a time when no Loans or Senior Debt Commitments in connection therewith remain
outstanding, the Trustee shall vote at the direction of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as set forth in Article 9. 
 Section 9.04
Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 
 Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended
or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.05 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms
and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 Section 9.06 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 

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

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

 Section 9.07 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 

The Trustee will 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 General Partner approves it. In executing any amended or
supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

NOTE GUARANTEES 
 Section 11.01 Note
Guarantee. 
 (a) Subject to this Article 11 and to the requirements of Section 11 of the CSAA, each of the Guarantors
hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally reaffirms and confirms hereunder its guarantee made pursuant to Section 11 of the CSAA to the Security Trustee for the ratable benefit of each of the Secured Parties, including each Holder
of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, pursuant to which it has guaranteed that: 

(1) the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when
due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder

 (2) in case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will 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, subject to the CSAA. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations under the Note Guarantees are 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 

  
 124 







 
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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 Note 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

theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees and confirms that the provisions of
Section 11 of the CSAA apply to its Note Guarantees. 
 Section 11.02 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 Note
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 Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance. 
 Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee Notation. 

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto or such other form as may be provided in any Supplemental Indenture will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this
Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set
forth in Section 11.01 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. 

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

  
 125 







 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will
constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 In the event that the Company or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.25, the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of
Section 4.25 and this Article 11, to the extent applicable. 
 Section 11.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain
Terms. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.05, the Company will not permit any Guarantor to dissolve or liquidate
nor consolidate with or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving entity), convert into another form of entity, continue in another jurisdiction, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose
of all or substantially all of its properties and assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person (other than to or with or into the Company or another Guarantor) unless: 

(a) 
 (1) the
Person formed by or surviving such consolidation, merger, conversion or continuation (if other than the Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition is made (the “Successor Guarantor”) is
a Person (other than an individual) organized and existing under the same laws as the Guarantor was organized immediately prior to such transaction, or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;

 (2) the Successor Guarantor, if other than such Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under
this Indenture, the Security Documents, Registration Rights Agreement and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture, appropriate modifications (if necessary) to the Security Documents and Note Guarantee; 

(3) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default would exist immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series
of related transactions; and 
 (4) the Company will have delivered to the Trustee a certificate from an Authorized Officer
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation or merger, conversion or continuation, or sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition and such supplemental indenture, Security Documents, Registration Rights Agreement
and Note Guarantee, if any, comply with this Indenture and the Security Documents and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture and the Security Documents relating to such transaction have been complied with; or 

(b) the transaction does not violate the covenant described under Section 4.12. 

In case of any such consolidation or merger, conversion or continuation, or sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition and
upon the assumption by the successor 

  
 126 







 
Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note 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 will 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 Note 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 Note
Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had

nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes, not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any,
and interest to the stated maturity or redemption date;

Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium and Additional, 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 12.01 by

7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 

[Insert the Global Note Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture] 

[Insert the Private Placement Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture] 

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

(1) INTEREST. Cheniere Corpus Christi Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7.000% per annum from May 18, 2016 until maturity and shall pay the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to Section 6 of the
Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 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 Unmatured Event of Default or Event of 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 December 31, 2016. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 0.5% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 (2) METHOD OF
PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 15 or
December 15 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 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent or Registrar maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at
the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, 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 and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, 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 will 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. 

  
 A-1-2 







 (3) PAYING AGENT AND
REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The
Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 (4) INDENTURE AND
SECURITY DOCUMENTS. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May 18, 2016 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the
Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act 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 secured obligations of the Company. The Notes are secured by a pledge of Collateral (as
defined in the Indenture) pursuant to the Security Documents referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 

At any time or from time to time prior to January 1, 2024, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of the Initial Series
Notes, at a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Price (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date, without duplication).

 “Make-Whole Price” with respect to any Initial Series Notes to be redeemed, means an amount equal to the greater of:

 (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Initial Series Notes, without any premium, penalty or charge; and 

(2) An amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest from the
redemption date to the Call Date (assuming the principal amount is scheduled to be paid on the Call Date and not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued and paid on the redemption date) discounted back to the redemption date on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points; 

“Treasury Rate” means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant
maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) which has become publicly available at least two Business Days (but not more than five Business Days) prior to the relevant redemption date
(or, if such Statistical Release is not so published or available, any publicly available source of similar market data selected by the Company in good faith)) most nearly equal to the period from 

  
 A-1-3 







 
the redemption date to the Call Date on which the principal of the Notes being redeemed will be paid in full; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to such
Call Date is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the
weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption date to such Call Date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States
Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. 
 The notice of redemption with respect to the foregoing
redemption need not set forth the Make-Whole Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. The Company will notify the Trustee of the Make-Whole Price with respect to any redemption promptly after the calculation, and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for such calculation. 
 At any time on or after January 1, 2024, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of
the Initial Series Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Initial Series Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the redemption date, without any premium, penalty or charge
(subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date, without duplication). 

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. 

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF
HOLDER. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will make an
offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) of payment (a “Change of Control Payment”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that
Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to not less than 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of
Control Payment Date,” which date will be no earlier than the date of such Change of Control). No later than 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the
Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 
 (b) The Company will be required to make an Asset Sale Offer, Excess
Loss Proceeds Offer, PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer to the extent provided in Sections 4.11, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20, respectively, of the Indenture. 

(8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be
mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the
notice is issued in connection 

  
 A-1-4 







 
with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. 
 (9) DENOMINATIONS,
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes
may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required
by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not
exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 

(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note
may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 (11) 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. 
 (12) NO RECOURSE AGAINST

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

(1) INTEREST. Cheniere Corpus Christi Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7.000% per annum from May 18, 2016 until maturity and shall pay the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to Section 6 of the
Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 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 Unmatured Event of Default or Event of 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 December 31, 2016. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal 

  
 A-2-3 







 
and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 0.5% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchanged for
one or more Regulation S Permanent Global Notes, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments of interest hereon; until so exchanged in full, this Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall in all other respects be entitled to the same
benefits as other Notes under the Indenture. 
 (2) METHOD OF
PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 15 or
December 15 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 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent or Registrar maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at
the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, 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 and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, 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 will 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,
The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such
capacity. 
 (4) INDENTURE AND SECURITY
DOCUMENTS. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May 18, 2016 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act 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 secured obligations of the Company. The Notes are secured by a pledge of Collateral (as defined in the
Indenture) pursuant to the Security Documents referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 

  
 A-2-4 







 (5) Optional Redemption. 

At any time or from time to time prior to January 1, 2024, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of the Initial Series
Notes, at a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Price (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date, without duplication).

 “Make-Whole Price” with respect to any Initial Series Notes to be redeemed, means an amount equal to the greater of:

 (3) 100% of the principal amount of such Initial Series Notes, without any premium, penalty or charge; and 

(4) An amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest from the
redemption date to the Call Date (assuming the principal amount is scheduled to be paid on the Call Date and not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued and paid on the redemption date) discounted back to the redemption date on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points; 

“Treasury Rate” means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant
maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) which has become publicly available at least two Business Days (but not more than five Business Days) prior to the relevant redemption date
(or, if such Statistical Release is not so published or available, any publicly available source of similar market data selected by the Company in good faith)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Call Date on which the
principal of the Notes being redeemed will be paid in full; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to such Call Date is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly
average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if
the period from the redemption date to such Call Date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used. 

The notice of redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the Make-Whole Price but only the manner of calculation
thereof. The Company will notify the Trustee of the Make-Whole Price with respect to any redemption promptly after the calculation, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for such calculation. 

At any time on or after January 1, 2024, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of the Initial Series Notes, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Initial Series Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the redemption date, without any premium, penalty or charge (subject to the right of holders of
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date, without duplication). 

  
 A-2-5 







 (6) MANDATORY
REDEMPTION. 
 The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments
with respect to the Notes. 
 (7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION
OF HOLDER. 
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the
Company will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) of payment (a “Change of Control Payment”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof)
of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to not less than 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (the
“Change of Control Payment Date,” which date will be no earlier than the date of such Change of Control). No later than 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the
procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 
 (b) The Company will be required to make an
Asset Sale Offer, Excess Loss Proceeds Offer, PLD Excess Proceeds Offer or the LNG SPA Mandatory Offer to the extent provided in Sections 4.11, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20, respectively, of the Indenture. 

(8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be
mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed 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 or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of
the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. 
 (9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER,
EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as
provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted
by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register
the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 

This Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or more Global Notes only (i) on or after the
termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of certificates (accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel, if applicable) required by Article 2 of the Indenture. Upon exchange
of this Regulation S Temporary Global Note for one or more Global Notes, the Trustee shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Note.

(12) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. 

 No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, Affiliate or stockholder of the Company or

Documents, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder 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.

FORM OF CSAA AMENDMENT 
 FIRST
AMENDMENT TO COMMON SECURITY AND ACCOUNT AGREEMENT 
 This First Amendment, dated as of [●], 2016 (the “First
Amendment”), to the Common Security and Account Agreement, dated as of May 13, 2015 (as amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Common Security and Account Agreement”), by and
among Cheniere Corpus Christi Holdings, LLC (the “Company”), Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC, Cheniere Corpus Christi Pipeline, L.P. and Corpus Christi Pipeline GP, LLC (the “Guarantors” and, together with the
Company, the “Securing Parties”), the Initial Senior Creditor Group Representatives listed in Schedule C thereto and the Senior Creditor Group Representatives that accede thereto from time to time, for the benefit of all Senior
Creditors, Société Générale as Intercreditor Agent for the Facility Lenders and any Hedging Banks, Société Générale as Security Trustee, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. as Account Bank. All capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Common Security and Account Agreement. 

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that Intercreditor Agent agree on behalf of each Senior Creditor Group Representative to amend the Common
Security and Account Agreement as set forth in the First Amendment; and 
 WHEREAS, the Requisite Secured Parties have instructed the
Intercreditor Agent to amend the Common Security and Account Agreement as set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

Section 1. Amendments to Common Security and Account Agreement. The Company, the Guarantors and the Security Trustee each agree
that the Common Security and Account Agreement is amended by: 
 (a) adding the following as a new Section 4.11 (Account with Third
Party Account Bank): 
 “4.11 Account with Third Party Account Bank. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, including Section 4.3(b) (Accounts): 
  

	 	(a)	 The Company may from time to time agree to establish and maintain an Account (the “Third Party Investment
Account”) with any financial institution that is reasonably acceptable to the Account Bank (any financial institution that is not the Account Bank with which such account is established as permitted by this




  
 H-1 








	 	
Agreement, a “Third Party Account Bank”); provided that the Company shall procure that prior to the deposit or transfer of any funds into such Third Party Investment
Account: 

  

	 	(i)	such Third Party Account Bank shall enter into an account control agreement (a “Third Party Account Control Agreement”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Trustee, pursuant to
which the Security Trustee shall have sole “control” (within the meaning of Sections 8-106(d) and (f) of the UCC or Sections 9-104(a)(2) and (3) of the UCC) of the Third Party Investment Account; and 


 

	 	(ii)	the Account Bank shall be designated as an authorized person permitted to execute transactions and make withdrawals and transfers of funds in respect of such Third Party Investment Account. 


 

	 	(b)	The Company (or the Security Trustee on behalf of the Company) may submit instructions (in written form, including in a Withdrawal and Transfer Certificate from the Company, and which may be given as a standing
instruction) to the Account Bank directing the Account Bank to: 

  

	 	(i)	transfer funds from an Account to the Third Party Investment Account or instruct the Third Party Account Bank to transfer funds from the Third Party Investment Account to one or more Accounts, or 


 

	 	(ii)	instruct the Third Party Account Bank to invest funds in the Third Party Investment Account in Authorized Investments (or sell or otherwise liquidate such investments) as contemplated by Section 4.2(b)
(Directing the Making of Investments – Authorized Investments), in a manner agreed between the Company and the Account Bank in any customary account management agreement related to the Third Party Investment Account,


 and, in each such case, the Account Bank shall act in accordance with the instructions of the Company (or the Security
Trustee on behalf of the Company) and in turn transmit any such instructions to the Third Party Account Bank on behalf of the Company. 
  

	 	(c)	 Unless the Security Trustee has received notice as set out in Section 6.1(b) (Security Trustee Action
Generally – Control of Accounts) that a Loan Facility Declared Default, Indenture Declared Default or any other Declared Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing, and until a notice is delivered to the Account Bank pursuant to
Section 4.6(b)(i) (Control and Investment of Funds in Accounts), the Company also may submit 



  
 H-2 








	 	
instructions directly to the Third Party Account Bank to invest the funds in, or that are expected to be transferred into, the Third Party Investment Account in Authorized Investments.
Concurrently with delivery of a notice to the Account Bank pursuant to Section 4.6(b)(i) (Control and Investment of Funds in Accounts), the Security Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Third Party Account Bank (with a copy to the
Company, the Account Bank and each Senior Creditor Group Representative) directing it to cease accepting instructions from, and providing management access to, the Company (and, if relevant, from the Manager to whom the Company has granted a power
of attorney or signature authority over the Accounts as permitted under Section 4.1(e) (General Principles)) with respect to the Third Party Investment Account. Concurrently with delivery of a notice to the Account Bank pursuant to
Section 4.6(d) (Control and Investment of Funds in Accounts), the Security Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Third Party Account Bank with a copy to the Company directing it once again to take instructions from the Company in
accordance with the first sentence of this clause (c) rather than exclusively from the Security Trustee. 

  

	 	(d)	If the Account Bank receives a notice from the Security Trustee under Section 4.6(b)(i) (Control and Investment of Funds in Accounts) of this Agreement, the Account Bank shall transmit to the Third Party
Account Bank directions, notices or other documents received only from the Security Trustee until a notice is delivered by the Security Trustee to the Account Bank pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.6(d) (Control and Investment of
Funds in Accounts) of this Agreement with respect to the relevant Declared Event(s) of Default. 

  

	 	(e)	All funds in the Third Party Investment Account shall only be invested in Authorized Investments. Cash, monies or funds in the Third Party Investment Account and the Authorized Investments in which such monies are then
invested and the proceeds of those investments shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement governing Authorized Investments, including but not limited to Section 4.2 (Authorized Investments), modified as necessary to reflect the
arrangements between the Company, the Security Trustee, the Account Bank and the Third Party Account Bank as set forth in this Section 4.11. 

  

	 	(f)	 For the avoidance of doubt, the security arrangements generally applicable to Accounts pursuant to this Agreement
shall also apply to the Third Party Investment Account, with the Third Party Account Bank acting as Bank or Securities Intermediary, as applicable, in respect of the Third Party Investment Account. All undertakings and duties imposed on the Account
Bank specifically in its capacity as Bank or Securities Intermediary in respect of an 



  
 H-3 








	 	
Account shall also apply in respect of any Third Party Investment Account, except that the Account Bank shall be subject to such duties and undertakings in its capacity as an authorized person in
respect of such Third Party Investment Account. All duties or undertakings under the Finance Documents requiring the Account Bank to deposit, withdraw, invest or liquidate funds in the Accounts shall, in respect of the Third Party Investment
Account, be construed as duties or undertakings to instruct the Third Party Account Bank to deposit, withdraw, invest or liquidate funds, as applicable. 

  

	 	(g)	The Account Bank shall not be liable for any failure on the part of the Third Party Account Bank to timely honor any direction from the Account Bank.”; 


(b) adding the following to Schedule K (Form of Withdrawal and Transfer Certificate), immediately following the paragraph that reads
“to make the requested [withdrawal(s)] [transfer(s)] by [insert date] (the “Account Withdrawal Date”).”:

(c) adding the following to Schedule K (Form of Withdrawal and Transfer Certificate) as footnote 14 thereto, and renumbering the
current footnotes 14, 15 and 16 accordingly: 
 “[Note: Include for transfers or withdrawals from the Third Party Investment
Account.]” 
 (d) adding the following to Schedule A (Common Definitions and Rules of Interpretation) in the appropriate
alphabetical order: 
 “Third Party Investment Account” has the meaning given in Section 4.11(a)
(Account with Third Party Account Bank) of the Common Security and Account Agreement. 
 “Third Party Account
Bank” has the meaning given in Section 4.11(a) (Account with Third Party Account Bank) of the Common Security and Account Agreement. 

“Third Party Account Control Agreement” has the meaning given in Section 4.11(a)(i) (Account with
Third Party Account Bank) of the Common Security and Account Agreement. 

  
 H-4 







 (e) adding the following as a new Section 1.2 (xviv) (Interpretation) of Schedule A to
the Common Security and Account Agreement: 
 “(xviv) In respect of each of the defined terms in Section 1.3
(Definitions) of this Schedule A, as used in this Agreement, at any time when Loans and/or Senior Debt Commitments are not outstanding, all references in this Agreement to each such defined term shall be to, and be required to meet the
conditions or criteria, if any, included in, the definition provided for the equivalent of such defined term in each Senior Debt Instrument then in effect. A defined term set forth in a Senior Debt Instrument will be deemed to be the equivalent of a
defined term set forth in Section 1.3 (Definitions) of this Schedule A if the defined term in such Senior Debt Instrument (although not necessarily the definition thereof) uses the same or interchangeable words as are used in
Section 1.3 (Definitions) of this Schedule A for such defined term, or the same or interchangeable words plus words that identify such term as the defined term applicable to a particular Senior Debt Instrument, such as “Indenture
Permitted Liens” rather than simply “Permitted Liens.” 
 (f) deleting the definition of “Guarantors” in its
entirety and replacing it with the following: 
 ““Guarantors” means CCL, CCP and CCP GP, each of which
is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower and operated together with the Borrower as a single unit, and any other subsidiary of the Borrower that accedes to the Common Security and Account Agreement from time to time as
permitted under the Finance Documents then in effect as a Guarantor for the benefit of all Senior Creditors, pursuant to Section 11.15 (Additional Guarantors) of the Common Security and Account Agreement.”; 

(g) deleting the definition of “Senior Debt Obligations” in its entirety and replacing it with the following: 

““Senior Debt Obligations” means the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of each Guarantor under its
guarantee granted under and pursuant to the Common Security and Account Agreement in each case to pay: 
  

	 	(a)	all principal, interest and premiums on the disbursed Senior Debt; 

  

	 	(b)	all commissions, fees, reimbursements, indemnities, prepayment premiums and other amounts payable to Senior Creditors under any Senior Debt Instrument; 


 

	 	(c)	all Permitted Senior Debt Hedging Liabilities under Permitted Hedging Instruments that benefit from the Security Interests; 

  

	 	(d)	all Secured Party Fees; and 

 in each case whether such obligations are present, future, actual
or contingent and including the payment of amounts that would become due under the Senior Debt Instruments but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the 

  
 H-5 







 
Bankruptcy Code. For the avoidance of doubt, unless and until the Second Phase CP Date has occurred, Senior Debt Obligations shall not include any of the foregoing obligations that would have
occurred or otherwise arisen only upon the occurrence of the Second Phase CP Date and as a result of the disbursement and incurrence of the Second Phase Facility Debt Commitments.”; and 

(h) adding the following as a new Section 11.15 (Additional Guarantors): 

“11.15 Additional Guarantors  

If at any time, the Company is required under any Senior Debt Instrument to cause any Subsidiary acquired or created by the
Company to become a guarantor of any Senior Debt, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to accede to this Agreement as a guarantor hereunder and guarantee all the Senior Debt Obligations in accordance with, and pursuant to, Section 11
(Guarantees) of this Agreement. Upon its accession to this Agreement, such subsidiary shall be deemed to be a “Guarantor” hereunder. Any accession agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 11.15 (Additional
Guarantors) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Trustee.”

Events of Default and Guarantees. The undersigned signatory of each Securing Party hereby certifies that she is an Authorized Officer of such Securing Party and, solely in such capacity and not in her personal capacity, hereby certifies to the
Senior Creditor Group Representatives, as of the date of this First Amendment, the following: 
  

	 	(a)	Each of the Repeated Representations made by such Securing Party is true and correct in all material respects, except for those representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality, which are true and
correct in all respects, as to such Securing Party on and as of the date of this First Amendment as if made on and as of such date (or, if stated to have been made solely as of an earlier date, as of such earlier date); 


 

	 	(b)	No Unmatured Loan Facility Event of Default or Loan Facility Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing on such date or could reasonably be expected to result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this First Amendment; and 

  

	 	(c)	As of the date of this First Amendment, the guarantee of the Senior Debt Obligations by each Guarantor is in full force and effect in accordance with Article 11 (Guarantees) of the Common Security and Account
Agreement and this First Amendment could not reasonably be expected to alter the effectiveness of such guarantees.

termination or expiration of any Senior Debt Commitments (the “Discharge of the Senior Debt Obligations”), pursuant to and on the terms set forth in this Subordination Agreement. 

Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and obligations herein set forth and for other good and valuable

	 	Section 1	General 

 (a) In this Subordination Agreement and the Schedules hereto, except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, or, if such terms are not defined in the Indenture, in Section 1.3 of Schedule A (Common Definitions and Rules of
Interpretation) of the Common Security and Account Agreement.1 
  

 

	1 	If the Subordinated Creditor is not otherwise party to a Senior Debt Instrument that incorporates the Indenture, upon request by the Subordinated Creditor, appropriate changes will be made to this Subordination
Agreement by adding definitions and rules of interpretation from the Finance Documents. 


  
 I-1-1 







 (b) In this Subordination Agreement and the Schedules hereto, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the interpretation provisions contained in the Indenture shall apply. 
 (c) This Subordination Agreement applies to any

	 	Section 2	Subordination 

  

	 	2.1	General 

 (a) Payment of the principal of and interest (and all premia and other amounts

permitted under the applicable Senior Debt Instruments (without regard to the second sentence of the definition thereof), payments representing the capitalization or payment-in-kind of interest or the payments described in clause (b) below,
unless and until the Discharge of the Senior Debt Obligations; provided that the Subordinated Creditor may accelerate, make demand for or otherwise make due and payable prior to the original due date thereof the Subordinated Debt only in
order to file, or in connection with the filing of, a proof of claim or other instrument of similar character with respect to the Subordinated Debt. The Subordinated Creditor directs the Subordinated Debtor to make, and the Subordinated Debtor
agrees to make, payments to the Security Trustee for application to the Senior Debt Obligations until the Discharge of the Senior Debt Obligations. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subordination Agreement, the Subordinated Debtor shall be permitted to pay any
Indebtedness of the Subordinated Debtor permitted to be paid pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Indenture and to make each of the payments contemplated by Section 4.06 of the Indenture and by the second sentence of the definition of
“Restricted Payments” (and any comparable provision of any other Senior Debt Instrument then in effect) in each case, as, when and to the extent permitted under the Finance Documents (other than this Subordination Agreement). 

 

	 	2.2	Payment Upon Dissolution, Etc. 

 In the event of Bankruptcy, the Secured Parties shall be
entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior

receive any payment on account of any Subordinated Debt (whether in respect of principal, interest, premia, fees, indemnities, commissions or otherwise) and to that end, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property
or securities which may be payable or deliverable in respect of such Subordinated Debt from the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Subordinated Debtor, or otherwise in any Bankruptcy Proceeding or other winding up of the
Subordinated Debtor, that is not delivered directly to the Security Trustee in accordance with Section 2.1(a) (General) hereof, shall in each case instead be held in trust by the Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of, and paid or
delivered to the Security Trustee, in each case without set-off or counterclaim, for application to Senior Debt Obligations, whether or not due, until the Discharge of the Senior Debt Obligations. If for any reason the trust fails or vests in the

	 	2.3	No Payment When Senior Debt in Default 

 In the event and during the Continuation of an
Event of Default, unless and until such Event of Default shall have been remedied or waived, no payment (including any Restricted Payment) shall be made by the Subordinated Debtor on or in respect of any Subordinated Debt, except for the payments

payment shall exist under any Senior Debt Instrument, the Subordinated Creditor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee (a) commence any proceeding against the Subordinated Debtor with respect to Subordinated Debt,
(b) take any collateral security for any Subordinated Debt or (c) join with any creditor (unless Senior Creditors consent and shall so join) in bringing any Bankruptcy Proceeding against the Subordinated Debtor, or take possession of, sell
or dispose of any Collateral, or exercise or enforce any right or remedy available to the Subordinated Creditors with respect to any such Collateral, unless and until the Discharge of the Senior Debt Obligations and the related release by the Senior
Creditors of their Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the Finance Documents; provided that the Subordinated Creditor may (i) file all claims or proofs of claim necessary to enforce the obligations of the Subordinated Debtor in
respect of any Subordinated Debt, (ii) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of its
claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt and (iii) exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Subordinated Debtor in accordance with the terms of any Subordinated Debt and applicable law, in each case to the extent such
action is not inconsistent with, and could not result in a resolution inconsistent with, the terms of this Subordination Agreement. 

  
 I-1-3 








	 	2.5	Payment to Security Trustee of Certain Amounts Received by Subordinated Creditor 

 In the
event that the Subordinated Creditor receives on account or in respect of any Subordinated Debt any distribution of assets by the Subordinated Debtor or payment by or on behalf of the Subordinated Debtor of any kind or character, whether in cash,
securities or other property, other than as permitted under this Agreement, the Subordinated Creditor shall hold, or shall cause to be held, in trust (as property of the Security Trustee) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and immediately upon
receipt thereof, shall pay over or deliver to the Security Trustee such distribution or payment in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment by the Subordinated Creditor where necessary) for application in accordance with
the applicable Senior Debt Instrument and the Common Security and Account Agreement. In the event of failure of the Subordinated Creditor to make any such endorsement or assignment, the Security Trustee irrevocably is authorized and empowered by and
on behalf of the Subordinated Creditor to make the same. 
  

	 	2.6	Authorizations to Secured Parties 

 The Subordinated Creditor (a) irrevocably
authorizes and empowers (without imposing any obligation or duty on) the Security Trustee as the attorney-in-fact for the Subordinated Creditor (which appointment is coupled with an interest) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and acknowledge
receipt for all payments and distributions on or in respect of its Subordinated Debt which are required to be paid or delivered to the Security Trustee, as provided herein, and to file and prove all claims therefor and take all such other action, in
the name of the Subordinated Creditor or otherwise, as the Security Trustee may determine to be necessary or appropriate for the enforcement of these subordination provisions, all in accordance with the Common Security and Account Agreement and the
Senior Debt Instruments, (b) irrevocably authorizes and empowers (without imposing any obligation or duty on) the Security Trustee to vote its Subordinated Debt (including voting the Subordinated Debt in favor of, or in opposition to, any
matter which may come before any meeting of creditors of the Subordinated Debtor generally or in connection with, or in anticipation of, any Bankruptcy Proceeding relative to the Subordinated Debtor) in accordance with the Common Security and
Account Agreement and the Senior Debt Instruments and (c) agrees to execute and deliver to the Security Trustee all such further instruments confirming the above authorization, and all such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of
claim and other instruments, and to take all such other action, as may be requested by the Security Trustee in order to enable the Security Trustee to enforce all claims upon or in respect of the Subordinated Debt in accordance with, and subject to,
the terms hereof and applicable laws. 
  

	 	2.7	Subrogation 

 Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Subordinated Creditor
or the Subordinated Debtor or the exercise by the Security Trustee of any of the remedies provided under this Subordination Agreement, the Subordinated Creditor hereby waives any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity
or otherwise it may now have or hereafter acquire as a result of the existence or performance of its obligations hereunder until the Discharge Date of the Senior Debt Obligations, and all such Subordinated Debt shall be


  
 I-1-4 







 
subordinated pursuant to the terms hereof. If any amount shall, in contravention with the foregoing, be paid to the Subordinated Creditor on account of (i) subrogation, contribution,
reimbursement, indemnity or similar right, or (ii) the Subordinated Obligations, then the Subordinated Creditor agrees to act in accordance with Section 2.5 (Payment to Security Trustee of Certain Amounts Received by Subordinated
Creditor) hereof. 
  

	 	2.8	Termination 

 Upon the payment or discharge in full in US Dollars of all obligations
under this Agreement, then, subject to reinstatement as provided below, this Agreement shall terminate and the Subordinated Creditor shall, at the expense of the Company, execute and deliver a termination statement. 

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if (and only to the extent that) any payment or
performance of the obligations of the Subordinated Debtor hereunder is rescinded, avoided, voidable, liable to be set aside, reduced or otherwise not properly payable to, or must otherwise be returned or restored by the Subordinated Creditor as a
result of (i) Bankruptcty, insolvency, reorganization with respect to the Subordinated Debtor or the Subordinated Creditor, (ii) upon dissolution of, or appointment of any intervenor, conservator, trustee or similar official for the
Subordinated Debtor or the Subordinated Creditor or for any substantial part of the Subordinated Debtor’s or Subordinated Creditor’s assets, (iii) as a result of any settlement or compromise with any Person (including the Subordinated
Creditor) in respect of such payment or otherwise, or (iv) any similar event or otherwise and, in such case, the provisions of Section 10.1 (Nature of Obligations) of the Common Security and Account Agreement shall apply hereto
mutatis mutandis. 
  

	 	2.9	Transfers 

 The Subordinated Debt may not be transferred, assigned or encumbered by the
Subordinated Creditor in any manner prohibited by a Finance Document. The Subordinated Creditor shall not make any transfer or assignment of all or any part of its interest in any Subordinated Debt unless the proposed transferee or assignee shall
have first delivered to the Security Trustee, as a condition to any such purported transfer or assignment, an agreement in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to the Security Trustee, acting reasonably, pursuant to which such proposed
transferee or assignee agrees to be bound by, and accepts each of the terms and conditions contained in, this Subordination Agreement or unless such proposed transferee or assignee shall have first delivered to the Security Trustee, an executed
subordination agreement in the form attached to the Indenture with respect to such Subordinated Debt. 
  

	 	2.10	Ranking 

 All Subordinated Debt shall be unsecured and shall rank junior to the Senior
Debt Obligations.

Indenture to: 
  

	 	[●]	  

  

	 	3.2	Severability 

 Any term or provision of this Subordination Agreement or the application
thereof to any circumstance that is illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable (to any extent) in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability,
without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining terms or provisions hereof or the application of such term or provision to circumstances other than those to which it is held illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable. Any such
illegality, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction and the parties hereto shall enter into good faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal, prohibited, or unenforceable term or provision with a view to obtaining the same commercial effect as this Subordination Agreement would have had if such term or provision had been legal, valid and enforceable. To the extent
permitted by applicable laws, the parties hereto waive any provision of law that renders any term or provision of this Subordination Agreement illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. 

 

	 	3.3	Entire Agreement 

 This Subordination Agreement (including Schedules), the Security
Documents and the other Finance Documents (together with any other agreements or documents referred to or incorporated by reference therein) constitute the entire agreement and understanding, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings
(both written and oral), between or among any of the parties hereto relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
  

	 	3.4	No Waiver; Modification to Senior Debt 

 No failure on the part of the Secured Parties,
and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power under this Subordination Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof by the Secured Parties, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power under this Subordination
Agreement preclude any other or future exercise by the Secured Parties of any other right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power granted to the Secured Parties, or allowed the Secured Parties by law or other agreement shall be
cumulative and not exclusive, and may be exercised by the Secured Parties from time to time. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time, without the consent of or notice to the


  
 I-1-6 







 
Subordinated Creditor, without incurring responsibility or liability to the Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided by, or the obligations of the
Subordinated Creditor under, this Subordination Agreement, the Senior Creditor may do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt
Obligations or any collateral security or guaranty thereof, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt Obligations or the Finance Documents; (b) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing Senior Debt Obligations; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the Senior Debt Obligations; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Subordinated Debtor and any other Person. The
Subordinated Creditor unconditionally waives notice of the incurring of Senior Debt Obligations or any part thereof. 
  

	 	3.5	Benefit of Subordination Provisions 

 Nothing contained herein shall: 

(a) impair, as among the Subordinated Debtor, its creditors other than the Secured Parties and the Subordinated Creditor, the obligation of
the Subordinated Debtor, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights of the Secured Parties under this Subordination Agreement, is intended to rank equally with all other unsecured obligations of the Subordinated Debtor),
to pay the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof; or 

(b) affect the relative rights against the Subordinated Debtor of the Subordinated Creditor and creditors of the Subordinated Debtor other
than the Secured Parties. 
  

	 	3.6	Conflict in Agreements 

 If the subordination provisions of any instrument evidencing
Subordinated Debt conflict with the terms of this Subordination Agreement, this Subordination Agreement shall govern the relationship between Senior Creditors and Subordinated Creditor. For the avoidance of doubt, any subordination provisions with
respect to the Subordinated Debt set forth in any Senior Debt Instrument shall be applicable to such Subordinated Debt in addition to that set forth in this Subordination Agreement. 

 

	 	3.7	Further Assurances 

 The Subordinated Creditor, at its own cost, shall take any further
action as the Secured Parties may reasonably request in order to carry out more fully the intent and purpose of this Subordination Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Subordinated Debtor and the Subordinated Creditor shall ensure
that each and every note or other instrument evidencing any Subordinated Debt shall carry on its face a statement that such Subordinated Debt is subject to the terms and conditions of this Subordination Agreement. Failure by the Subordinated Debtor
and the Subordinated Creditor to comply with the requirement under this Section 3.7 shall in no way diminish the obligations and duties of the Subordinated Creditor hereunder nor the rights and privileges of the Secured Parties under this
Agreement. 

  
 I-1-7 








	 	3.8	Execution in Counterparts 

 This Subordination Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Subordination Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Subordination Agreement. 

 

	 	3.9	GOVERNING LAW 

 THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 

 

	 	3.10	WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 

 THE PARTIES TO THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON, OR PERTAINING TO, THE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT.

Subordination Agreement; 
 (ii) irrevocably waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or
proceeding in any such court and any claim it may now or hereafter have that any action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; and

City of New York in the State of New York shall not limit the rights of the Senior Creditor Group Representatives (on behalf of the Senior Creditors) to bring any action or proceeding in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the
bringing of any action or the taking of any proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) limit such rights, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 

  
 I-1-8 







 (b) Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the
Subordinated Creditor: 
 (i) agrees that failure by a process agent to notify it of the process will not invalidate the proceedings
concerned; 
 (ii) shall maintain a duly appointed and authorized agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the
federal or state courts in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in the State of New York in connection with this Agreement and shall keep the Security Trustee advised of the identity and location of such agent; and 

(iii) hereby irrevocably authorizes the Security Trustee to appoint an agent for service of process on its behalf should it at any time fail
to maintain in full force and effect a process agent in accordance with this Section 3.11, and the Security Trustee shall promptly notify it of any such appointment. 
  

	 	3.12	Amendment 

 (a) This Subordination Agreement may not be amended or modified without the
prior written consent of the Security Trustee except as may be permitted under the Finance Documents. 
 (b) The consent contemplated in
clause (a) above of this Section 3.12 shall not be required for a successor Security Trustee to accede to this Subordination Agreement in accordance with Section 8.7(f) (Resignation, Removal and Replacement of Security Trustee)
of the Common Security and Account Agreement. 
  

	 	3.13	Successors and Assigns 

 This Subordination Agreement shall be binding and inure to the
benefit of the Subordinated Creditor, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns irrespective of whether this Subordination Agreement or any similar agreement is executed by any other creditor of the Subordinated
Debtor. To the extent permitted by law, notice of acceptance by Senior Creditors of this Subordination Agreement or of reliance by Senior Creditors upon this Subordination Agreement is hereby waived by the Subordinated Creditor. This Subordination
Agreement is made by the Subordinated Creditor in its capacity as Subordinated Creditor and only in respect of its rights and obligations as Subordinated Creditor and shall not affect any other rights the Subordinated Creditor may have in respect of
the Subordinated Debtor, which do not relate to its capacity as Subordinated Creditor to the Senior Creditors under this Subordination Agreement. 
  

	 	3.14	Survival of Obligations 

 The provisions of Section 3.9 (GOVERNING LAW),
Section 3.10 (WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) and Section 3.11 (Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process) shall survive the termination of this Subordination Agreement.

of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities which may be payable or deliverable in respect of such Obligor Subordinated Debt from the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Subordinated Debtor, or otherwise in
any Bankruptcy Proceeding or other winding up of the Subordinated Debtor, that is not delivered directly to the Security Trustee in accordance with Section 2.1(a) (General) hereof, shall in each case instead be held in trust by the
Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of, and paid or delivered to the Security Trustee, in each case without set-off or counterclaim, for application to Senior Debt Obligations, whether or not due, until the Discharge of the Senior Debt
Obligations. If for any reason the trust fails or vests in the Subordinated Creditor, the Subordinated Creditor shall promptly pay to the Security Trustee an amount equal to the amount which would otherwise have been held in trust (or its value if
not cash). 
  

	 	2.3	No Payment When Senior Debt in Default 

 In the event and during the Continuation of an
Event of Default, unless and until such Event of Default shall have been remedied or waived, no payment shall be made by the Subordinated Debtor on or in respect of any Obligor Subordinated Debt, except for the payments described in
Section 2.1(b) and (c) (General) above to the extent such payments described therein are permitted thereunder. 
  

	 	2.4	Proceeding Against the Subordinated Debtor; No Collateral 

 Whether or not any default in
payment shall exist under any Senior Debt Instrument, the Subordinated Creditor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee (a) commence any proceeding against the Subordinated Debtor, as applicable, with respect to
Obligor Subordinated Debt, (b) take any collateral security for any Obligor Subordinated Debt or (c) join with any creditor (unless Senior Creditors and the Security Trustee consent) in bringing any Bankruptcy Proceeding against the
Subordinated Debtor, or take possession of, sell or dispose of any Collateral, or exercise or enforce any right or remedy available to the Subordinated Creditors with respect to any such Collateral, unless and until the Discharge of the Senior Debt
Obligations and the related release by the Senior Creditors of their Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the Finance Documents; provided that the Subordinated Creditor may (i) file all claims or proofs of claim necessary to
enforce the obligations of the Subordinated Debtor in respect of any Obligor Subordinated Debt, (ii) file any 

  
 I-2-3 







 
necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of its
claims in respect of the Obligor Subordinated Debt and (iii) exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Subordinated Debtor in accordance with the terms of any Obligor Subordinated Debt and applicable law, in each case
solely to the extent such action is not inconsistent with, and could not result in a resolution inconsistent with, the terms of this Obligor Subordination Agreement and the Finance Documents. 

 

	 	2.5	Payment to Security Trustee of Certain Amounts Received by Subordinated Creditor 

 In the
event that the Subordinated Creditor receives on account or in respect of any Obligor Subordinated Debt any distribution of assets by the Subordinated Debtor or payment by or on behalf of the Subordinated Debtor of any kind or character, whether in
cash, securities or other property, other than as permitted under this Agreement, the Subordinated Creditor shall hold, or shall cause to be held, in trust (as property of the Security Trustee) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and immediately
upon receipt thereof, shall pay over or deliver to the Security Trustee such distribution or payment in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment by the Subordinated Creditor where necessary) for application in accordance
with the applicable Senior Debt Instrument and the Common Security and Account Agreement. In the event of failure of the Subordinated Creditor to make any such endorsement or assignment, the Security Trustee irrevocably is authorized and empowered
by and on behalf of the Subordinated Creditor to make the same. 
  

	 	2.6	Authorizations to Secured Parties 

 The Subordinated Creditor (a) irrevocably
authorizes and empowers (without imposing any obligation or duty on) the Security Trustee as the attorney-in-fact for the Subordinated Creditor (which appointment is coupled with an interest) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and acknowledge
receipt for all payments and distributions on or in respect of its Obligor Subordinated Debt which are required to be paid or delivered to the Security Trustee, as provided herein, and to file and prove all claims therefor and take all such other
action, in the name of the Subordinated Creditor or otherwise, as the Security Trustee may determine to be necessary or appropriate for the enforcement of these subordination provisions, all in accordance with the Common Security and Account
Agreement and the Senior Debt Instruments, (b) irrevocably authorizes and empowers (without imposing any obligation or duty on) the Security Trustee to vote its Obligor Subordinated Debt (including voting the Obligor Subordinated Debt in favor
of, or in opposition to, any matter which may come before any meeting of creditors of the Subordinated Debtor generally or in connection with, or in anticipation of, any Bankruptcy Proceeding relative to the Subordinated Debtor) in accordance with
the Common Security and Account Agreement and the Senior Debt Instruments and (c) agrees to execute and deliver to the Security Trustee all such further instruments confirming the above authorization, and all such powers of attorney, proofs of
claim, assignments of claim and other instruments, and to take all such other action, as may be requested by the Security Trustee in order to enable the Security Trustee to enforce all claims upon or in respect of the Obligor Subordinated Debt in
accordance with, and subject to, the terms hereof and applicable laws. 

  
 I-2-4 








	 	2.7	Subrogation 

 Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Subordinated Creditor
or the Subordinated Debtor or the exercise by the Security Trustee of any of the remedies provided under this Subordination Agreement, the Subordinated Creditor hereby waives any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity
or otherwise it may now have or hereafter acquire as a result of the existence or performance of its obligations hereunder until the Discharge Date of the Senior Debt Obligations, and all such Obligor Subordinated Debt shall be subordinated pursuant
to the terms hereof. If any amount shall, in contravention of the foregoing, be paid to the Subordinated Creditor on account of (i) subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right, or (ii) the Subordinated Obligations,
then the Subordinated Creditor agrees to act in accordance with Section 2.5 (Payment to Security Trustee of Certain Amounts Received by Subordinated Creditor) hereof. 

 

	 	2.8	Termination 

 Upon the payment or discharge in full in US Dollars of all obligations
under this Agreement, then, subject to reinstatement as provided below, this Agreement shall terminate and the Subordinated Creditor shall, at the expense of the Company, execute and deliver a termination statement. 

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if (and only to the extent that) any payment or
performance of the obligations of the Subordinated Debtor hereunder is rescinded, avoided, voidable, liable to be set aside, reduced or otherwise not properly payable to, or must otherwise be returned or restored by the Subordinated Creditor as a
result of (i) Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization with respect to the Subordinated Debtor or the Subordinated Creditor, (ii) upon dissolution of, or appointment of any intervenor, conservator, trustee or similar official for the
Subordinated Debtor or the Subordinated Creditor or for any substantial part of the Subordinated Debtor’s or Subordinated Creditor’s assets, (iii) as a result of any settlement or compromise with any Person (including the Subordinated
Creditor) in respect of such payment or otherwise, or (iv) any similar event or otherwise and, in such case, the provisions of Section 10.1 (Nature of Obligations) of the Common Security and Account Agreement shall apply hereto
mutatis mutandis. 
  

	 	2.9	Transfers 

 The Obligor Subordinated Debt may not be transferred, assigned or encumbered
by the Subordinated Creditor in any manner prohibited by a Finance Document. Without derogation of any other limitation or restriction contained in any other Finance Document, the Subordinated Creditor shall not make any transfer or assignment of
all or any part of its interest in any Obligor Subordinated Debt unless the proposed transferee or assignee shall have first delivered to the Security Trustee, as a condition to any such purported transfer or assignment, an agreement in writing, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Security Trustee Agent, acting reasonably, pursuant to which such proposed transferee or assignee agrees to be bound by, and accepts each of the terms and conditions contained in, this Subordination Agreement
or unless such proposed transferee or assignee shall have first delivered to the Security, an executed subordination agreement in the form attached to the Indenture with respect to such Obligor Subordinated Debt. 

  
 I-2-5 








	 	2.10	Ranking 

 All Obligor Subordinated Debt shall be unsecured and shall rank junior to the
Senior Debt Obligations. 
  

	 	Section 3	Miscellaneous 

  

	 	3.1	Notices 

 All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Subordinated Creditor shall be
effected in the manner provided in Section 13.02 of the Indenture. 
  

	 	3.2	Severability 

 Any term or provision of this Obligor Subordination Agreement or the
application thereof to any circumstance that is illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable (to any extent) in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity, prohibition or
unenforceability, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining terms or provisions hereof or the application of such term or provision to circumstances other than those to which it is held illegal, invalid, prohibited or
unenforceable. Any such illegality, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction and the parties hereto shall enter into good faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal, prohibited, or unenforceable term or provision with a view to obtaining the same commercial effect as this Obligor Subordination Agreement would have had if such term or provision had been legal, valid
and enforceable. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, the parties hereto waive any provision of law that renders any term or provision of this Obligor Subordination Agreement illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. 

 

	 	3.3	Entire Agreement 

 This Obligor Subordination Agreement (including Schedules), the
Security Documents and the other Finance Documents (together with any other agreements or documents referred to or incorporated by reference therein) constitute the entire agreement and understanding, and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings (both written and oral), between or among any of the parties hereto relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
  

	 	3.4	No Waiver; Modification to Senior Debt 

 No failure on the part of the Secured Parties,
and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power under this Obligor Subordination Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof by the Secured Parties, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power under this Obligor
Subordination Agreement preclude any other or future exercise by the Secured Parties of any other right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power 

  
 I-2-6 







 
granted to the Secured Parties, or allowed the Secured Parties by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and may be exercised by the Secured Parties from time to time.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time, without the consent of or notice to the Subordinated Creditor, without incurring responsibility or liability to the Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or releasing
the subordination provided by, or the obligations of the Subordinated Creditor under, this Obligor Subordination Agreement, the Senior Creditor may do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, or
extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt Obligations or any collateral security or guaranty thereof, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt Obligations or the Finance Documents; (b) sell, exchange,
release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt Obligations; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the Senior Debt Obligations; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights against the Subordinated Debtor and any other Person. The Subordinated Creditor unconditionally waives notice of the incurring of Senior Debt Obligations or any part thereof. 

 

	 	3.5	Benefit of Subordination Provisions 

 Nothing contained herein shall: 

(a) impair, as among the Subordinated Debtor, its creditors other than the Secured Parties and the Subordinated Creditor, the obligation of
the Subordinated Debtor, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights of the Secured Parties under this Obligor Subordination Agreement, is intended to rank equally with all other unsecured obligations of the Subordinated
Debtor), to pay the principal of and interest on the Obligor Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms thereof; or 

(b) affect the relative rights against the Subordinated Debtor of the Subordinated Creditor and creditors of the Subordinated Debtor other
than the Secured Parties. 
  

	 	3.6	Conflict in Agreements 

 If the subordination provisions of any instrument evidencing
Obligor Subordinated Debt conflict with the terms of this Obligor Subordination Agreement, this Obligor Subordination Agreement shall govern the relationship between Senior Creditors and Subordinated Creditor. For the avoidance of doubt, any
subordination provisions with respect to the Obligor Subordinated Debt set forth in any Senior Debt Instrument shall be applicable to such Obligor Subordinated Debt in addition to that set forth in this Obligor Subordination Agreement. 

 

	 	3.7	Further Assurances 

 The Subordinated Creditor, at its own cost, shall take any further
action as the Secured Parties may reasonably request in order to carry out more fully the intent and purpose of this Obligor Subordination Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Subordinated Debtor and the Subordinated Creditor shall
ensure that each and every note or other instrument evidencing any Obligor Subordinated Debt shall carry on its face a statement that Obligor 

  
 I-2-7 







 
Subordinated Debt is subject to the terms and conditions of this Subordination Agreement. Failure by the Subordinated Debtor and the Subordinated Creditor to comply with the requirement under
this Section 3.7 shall in no way diminish the obligations and duties of the Subordinated Creditor hereunder nor the rights and privileges of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and any other Finance Document. 

 

	 	3.8	Execution in Counterparts 

 This Obligor Subordination Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Obligor Subordination Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Obligor
Subordination Agreement. 
  

	 	3.9	GOVERNING LAW 

 THIS OBLIGOR SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 THE PARTIES TO THIS OBLIGOR SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON, OR PERTAINING TO, THE OBLIGOR SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT.

 (a) Each party: 

(i) hereby irrevocably consents and agrees for the benefit of the Secured Parties that the federal or state courts in the Borough of

proceeding in any such court and any claim it may now or hereafter have that any action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; and 

(iii) irrevocably consents and agrees that the submission to the jurisdiction of the federal or state courts in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York in the State of New York shall not limit the rights of the Senior Creditor Group Representatives (on behalf of the Senior Creditors) to bring any action or proceeding in any other court of competent


  
 I-2-8 







 
jurisdiction nor shall the bringing of any action or the taking of any proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) limit such rights, in each case, to the extent permitted
by applicable law. 
  

	 	3.12	Amendment 

 (a) This Obligor Subordination Agreement may not be amended or modified
without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee except as may be permitted under the Finance Documents.

of Security Trustee) of the Common Security and Account Agreement. 
  

	 	3.13	Successors and Assigns

to the benefit of the Subordinated Creditor, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns irrespective of whether this Obligor Subordination Agreement or any similar agreement is executed by any other creditor of the
Subordinated Debtor. To the extent permitted by law, notice of acceptance by Senior Creditors of this Obligor Subordination Agreement or of reliance by Senior Creditors upon this Obligor Subordination Agreement is hereby waived by the Subordinated
Creditor. This Obligor Subordination Agreement is made by the Subordinated Creditor in its capacity as Subordinated Creditor and only in respect of its rights and obligations as Subordinated Creditor and shall not affect any other rights the
Subordinated Creditor may have in respect of the Subordinated Debtor or Senior Creditors, which do not relate to its capacity as Subordinated Creditor to the Senior Creditors under this Obligor Subordination Agreement. 

 

	 	3.14	Survival of Obligations 

 The provisions of Section 3.9 (GOVERNING LAW),
Section 3.10 (WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) and Section 3.11 (Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process) shall survive the termination of this Obligor Subordination Agreement.
