(16)                      any Lien not excepted by the foregoing clauses (1) through (15); provided that immediately after the creation or assumption of such Lien the aggregate principal amount of Debt of the Issuer or any Principal Subsidiary secured by all Liens created or assumed under the provisions of this clause (16), together with all net sale proceeds from any Sale-Leaseback Transactions (reduced by the amounts applied pursuant to Section 4.09(1) and Section 4.09(3)(a)) shall not exceed an amount equal to 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets for the fiscal quarter that was most recently completed prior to the creation or assumption of such Lien.

6









(1)                              the Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the date of acquisition of the relevant Principal Property or the date of the completion of construction, development or substantial repair or improvement, or commencement of full operations on such Principal Property, whichever is later, and the Issuer has elected to designate, as a credit against (but not exceeding) the purchase price or cost of construction, development, repair or improvement of such Principal Property, an amount equal to all or a portion of the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction (with any such amount not being so designated to be applied as set forth in clause (3) below);
 
(2)                              the Issuer or such Principal Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a Lien on the Principal Property subject to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or
 
(3)                              the Issuer or such Principal Subsidiary, within a 270-day period after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to (a) the prepayment, repayment, redemption or retirement of any unsubordinated Debt of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or (b) the investment in another Principal Property.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
 
EQT MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP
 
4.00% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2024
 
 
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of 4.00% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Securities”) of EQT Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”).
 
1.                                    Interest.  The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 4.00% per annum.  The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day.  Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from August 1, 2014; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof (each, a “Record Date”) 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 February 1, 2015.  The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium (if any) from time to time at a rate equal to the interest rate then in effect; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time at the same rate to the extent lawful.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
 
2.                                    Method of Payment.  The Issuer will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date.  The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Issuer will pay the principal of, premium (if any) on and interest on the Securities in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee (as defined below); provided that, at the option of the Issuer, the Issuer may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Global Securities or (2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any Securities.
 
3.                                    Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”), the trustee under the Indenture (as defined below), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of the Issuer may act in any such capacity.
 
4.                                    Indenture.  The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Securities by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of August 1, 2014 and as it may otherwise be amended






A-3









and supplemented thereafter with applicability to the Securities (the Base Indenture, as so amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”).  The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of execution of the Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and for the definitions of capitalized terms used but not defined herein.  The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the Issuer limited to $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the Securities may be increased before or after the issuance of any Securities by a Board Resolution (or action pursuant to a Board Resolution) to such effect.  The Base Indenture provides for the issuance of other series of debt securities (including the Securities, the “Debt Securities”) thereunder.
 
5.                                    Guarantees.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors named pursuant to the Indenture fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and all other amounts due and payable under the Indenture and the Securities by the Issuer, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture.  In the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to the Indenture, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against any Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce its Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor.
 
6.                                    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Securities are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000.  The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities 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 to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  Neither the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security during the period beginning 15 Business Days before the giving of notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of transmission.
 
7.                                    Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.
 
8.                                    Redemption.  The Securities are subject to redemption, in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, in principal amounts of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above such amount (provided that the unredeemed portion of any Security redeemed in part may not be less than $2,000), upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to (i) if the








A-4









Redemption Date is prior to May 1, 2024, the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Securities (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points; or (ii) if the Redemption Date is on or after May 1, 2024, 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to such Redemption Date.
 
9.                                    Amendments and Waivers.  Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such amendment or supplement (acting as one class), and any existing or past Default or Event of Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) on or interest on the Securities) by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series or of all series (acting as one class) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.  Without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities or waive any provision of either: (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) if required, to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture in the case of the merger, consolidation or sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; (iv) to provide any security for, or to add any guarantees of or additional obligors on, the Securities or the related Guarantees; (v) to comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (vi) to add to the covenants of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, or to surrender any right or power conferred by the Indenture upon the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor; (vii) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Debt Securities; (viii) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture, provided that no outstanding Security is adversely affected in any material respect; (ix) to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Securities pursuant to the Indenture; or (x) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture.
 
The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of the Indenture (and the obligation of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of any Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.












A-5









Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (i) reduce the amount of Debt Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Security; (iii) reduce the principal of or premium on, or change the Stated Maturity of, any Security; (iv) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may or shall be redeemed; (v) change the coin or currency in which any Security or any premium or interest with respect thereto is payable; (vi) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on any Security, except as provided in the Indenture; (vii) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Debt Securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or make any change in the provision for modification; or (viii) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Securities.
 
A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Base Indenture, as supplemented from time to time, which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities under the Base Indenture, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series.
 
10.                            Defaults and Remedies.  Events of Default are defined in the Indenture and generally include: (i) default for 30 days in payment of any interest on the Securities; (ii) default in any payment of principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities as and when due and payable; (iii) default by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in compliance with any of its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities or in the Indenture which shall not have been remedied within 90 days after written notice by the Trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (or, in the event that other Debt Securities issued under the Base Indenture are also affected by the default, then 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities so affected); (iv) certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or (v) any Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect with respect to Securities (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding, or any such Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the Indenture or such Guarantee.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (iii) above, if outstanding Debt Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities so affected), may declare the principal of and interest on all the Securities (or such Debt Securities) to be immediately due and payable, except that in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (iv) above, all outstanding Debt Securities under the Base Indenture become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  The amount due and payable upon the acceleration of any Security is equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of payment.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may require security or indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding








A-6









Securities (or affected Debt Securities) may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests.  The Issuer must furnish annual compliance certificates to the Trustee.
 
11.       Discharge Prior to Maturity.  The Indenture with respect to the Securities shall be discharged and canceled upon the payment of all of the Securities and shall be discharged except for certain obligations upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of any combination of funds and Government Obligations sufficient for such payment.
 
12.       Trustee Dealings with Issuer or Subsidiary Guarantors.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any such Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
 
13.       No Recourse Against Others. Obligations of the Issuer and a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the Securities and the related Guarantees are non-recourse to the General Partner and its Affiliates (other than the Issuer and such Subsidiary Guarantor), and payable only out of cash flow and assets of the Issuer and such Subsidiary Guarantor.  The Trustee, and each Holder of a Security by its acceptance hereof, will be deemed to have agreed in the Indenture that (1) the General Partner and its assets (and any of its Affiliates other than the Issuer and a Subsidiary Guarantor) shall not be liable for any of the obligations of the Issuer and a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the Securities or the related Guarantees, and (2) no director, manager, member, officer, employee, stockholder, partner, unitholder or other owner of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the General Partner or any Affiliate of the foregoing entities shall have any liability in respect of the obligations of the Issuer and a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the Securities or the related Guarantees by reason of his, her or its status.  Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.
 
14.       Authentication.  This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
 
15.       CUSIP Numbers.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities.  No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed thereon.
 
16.       Abbreviations.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as:  TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
