&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership; the General Partner owns a general partner interest in the Partnership; such general partner interest is duly authorized by the Sixth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "**Partnership Agreement**"), and was validly issued to or acquired by the General Partner and the General Partner owns such general partner interest free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest, equity or charge (except for such liens, encumbrances, security interests, equities or charges as are not, individually or in the aggregate, material to such ownership).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Each Subsidiary of the Partnership which is a significant subsidiary as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X (as of December 31, 2025 (each a "**Significant Subsidiary**")) (x) has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, (y) has the corporate, limited liability

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The Partnership Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a valid and binding instrument of, the General Partner, enforceable against the General Partner in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof is subject to the effects of (i) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) any implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Securities have been duly authorized and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Partnership, in each case enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof is subject to the effects of (i) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) any implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing; the Securities will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, and the Securities and the Indenture will conform in all material respects to the respective descriptions thereof in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The Base Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and each of the Base Indenture and each Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized and, on the Closing Date, will have been duly executed and delivered by, and thereupon, after execution thereof by the Trustee, the Indenture will be a valid and binding instrument of the Partnership, enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability

------

thereof is subject to the effects of (i) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) any implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) The execution and delivery by the Partnership and the General Partner of, and the performance by each of the Partnership and the General Partner of its obligations under, this Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities, as applicable, will not contravene any provision of applicable law, the certificate of formation or the limited liability company agreement of the General Partner, the certificate of limited partnership or the Partnership Agreement of the Partnership or any agreement, indenture or other instrument binding upon the Partnership, the General Partner or their respective Subsidiaries that is material to the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Partnership, the General Partner or the Significant Subsidiaries, and no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency that has not already been obtained is required for the performance by the Partnership or the General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture or the Securities, except such as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) None of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of the Partnership's Subsidiaries is in violation of its certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or other constitutive document or in default under any agreement, indenture or instrument, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and no event or condition has occurred or exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would result in any such violation or default which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, none of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of the Partnership's Subsidiaries is in violation of any law, ordinance, governmental rule or regulation or court decree to which it may be subject, which violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) There has not occurred any material adverse change, or any development involving a material adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) There are no legal or governmental investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Partnership or the General Partner, threatened to which the Partnership, the General Partner or any of the Partnership's Subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the properties of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of the Partnership's Subsidiaries is subject, that would be required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus and are not so described or any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that would be required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not described or filed as required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) To the Partnership's and the General Partner's knowledge, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which has certified the financial statements of the Partnership and its consolidated Subsidiaries and delivered its report with respect to the audited consolidated financial statements and schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, is an independent public accountant with respect to the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) Each preliminary prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, complied when so filed in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) Neither the Partnership nor the General Partner is, nor immediately after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus will be, required to register as an "investment company" as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

------

Payment for the Securities shall be made against delivery to you on the Closing Date for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the Securities registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Securities to the Underwriters duly paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. *Indemnity and Contribution*. (a) The Partnership and the General Partner agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers and employees of each Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any out-of-pocket legal fees or other expense reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (including any electronic roadshow), any Partnership or General Partner information that the Partnership or the General Partner has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, in each case, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Partnership or the General Partner in writing by any Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

was made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus (including any electronic roadshow) or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership or the General Partner by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Partnership and the General Partner for any out-of-pocket legal fees or other expense reasonably incurred by the Partnership or the General Partner in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Partnership and the General Partner, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have

been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership and the General Partner on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Partnership and the General Partner on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership and the General Partner on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership and the General Partner and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Partnership and the General Partner on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Partnership and the General Partner or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Partnership and the General Partner and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by *pro rata* allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section , no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Partnership and the General Partner contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner, their respective officers or directors or any person controlling the Partnership or the General Partner and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. *Termination*. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Partnership, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (a) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange, (b) trading of any securities of the Partnership shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (c) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (d) there shall have occurred (i) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis or (ii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (d), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. *Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters*. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Representatives may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; *provided* that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one tenth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, the Partnership and the General Partner for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Partnership or the General Partner. In any such case either the Representatives, the Partnership or the General Partner shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Partnership or the General Partner to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Partnership or the General Partner shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement other than due to a default by the Underwriters, the Partnership and the General Partner will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. *Entire Agreement*. (a) This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Partnership, the General Partner and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of the Partnership and the General Partner acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm's length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Partnership, the General Partner or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Partnership, or the General Partner, only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Partnership and the General Partner. Each of the Partnership and the General Partner waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. *Counterparts*. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act or other applicable law, *e.g.*, www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. *Applicable Law*. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. *Headings*. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. *Notices*. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you c/o the Representatives at the addresses set forth in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Partnership or the General Partner shall be delivered, mailed or sent to their respective address set forth in Schedule I hereto.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Partnership, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. *WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY*. EACH OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE GENERAL PARTNER (ON ITS BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS SECURITYHOLDERS AND AFFILIATES) AND EACH OF THE UNDERWRITERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. *Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regime*. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

As used in this Section 17:

"BHC Act Affiliate" has the meaning assigned to the term "affiliate" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).

"Covered Entity" means any of the following:

## Exhibit 4.1

**Exhibit 4.1** 

**THIRTY-SIXTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE** 

THIS THIRTY-SIXTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of February 12, 2026 (this "***Supplemental Indenture***"), is between **MPLX LP**, a limited partnership duly formed and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "***Partnership***"), and **The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.**, a national banking association, as trustee (the "***Trustee***").

**WITNESSETH** 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Senior Indenture, dated as of February 12, 2015 (the "***Base Indenture***" and, as amended and supplemented to the date hereof, the "***Indenture***"), between the Partnership and the Trustee, the Partnership may from time to time issue and sell Debt Securities in one or more series;

WHEREAS, the Partnership desires to create and authorize a new series of Debt Securities entitled "5.300% Senior Notes due 2036" (the "***Notes***"), limited initially to $1,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, and to provide the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are to be executed, registered, authenticated, issued and delivered, the Partnership has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Notes are a series of Debt Securities and are being issued under the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, and are subject to the terms contained therein and herein;

WHEREAS, the Notes are to be substantially in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit</u> <u>A</u>; and

WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make the Notes, when executed by the Partnership and authenticated and delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee as provided in the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Partnership, and to make this Supplemental Indenture a legal, binding and enforceable agreement, have been done and performed.

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to declare the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are executed, registered, authenticated, issued and delivered, and in consideration of the foregoing premises and the purchase of such Notes by the Holders thereof, the Partnership and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Notes, as follows:

Section 1. <u>Definitions</u>. Terms used in this Supplemental Indenture and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Indenture.

Section 2. <u>Other Definitions</u>. In addition, the following terms shall have the following meanings with respect to the Notes:

------

"**Board Resolution**" means a copy of a resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors or an authorized committee or subcommittee thereof, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the General Partner to be in full force and effect on the date of such certification, and delivered to the Trustee.

"**Interest Payment Date,**" when used with respect to any installment of interest on any Debt Security, means the date specified in such Debt Security as the fixed date on which such installment of interest is due and payable.

"**Mortgage**" means as the context may require, (i) to mortgage, pledge, encumber or subject to a lien or (ii) a mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or lien.

"**Predecessor Security**" of any particular Debt Security means every previous Debt Security evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as that evidenced by such particular Debt Security; and, for the purposes of this definition, any Debt Security authenticated and delivered under Section 2.09 of the Indenture in exchange for or in lieu of a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be deemed to evidence the same debt as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security.

"**Special Record Date**" for the payment of any Defaulted Interest means a date fixed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.17 of the Indenture.

Section 3. <u>Creation and Authorization of Series</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Notes shall be limited initially to $1,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing initial aggregate principal amount, the Partnership may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes that may be issued under this Supplemental Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any additional Notes so issued will have the same terms and conditions other than the public offering price, original interest accrual date and initial interest payment date, and the same

------

CUSIP numbers as the applicable series of Notes previously issued, will be fungible with the applicable series of Notes previously issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest as the Notes previously issued, and such additional notes will form a single series with the Notes of such series previously issued, including, without limitation, for purposes of waivers, amendments, redemptions and, if any, offers to purchase, and will rank equally and ratably with the Notes of such series previously issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The date on which the principal is payable on the Notes, unless accelerated pursuant to the Indenture, shall be as provided in the form of security attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Notes shall bear interest as provided in the form of security attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) any Mortgage on such property in favor of the United States of America, any State, or any agency, department,
political subdivision or other instrumentality of either, to secure borrowings by the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership for the purchase or construction of the property Mortgaged;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) any Mortgage on any principal property arising in connection with or to secure all or any part of the cost of

Section 4.11 *Sale and Leaseback of Certain Properties*.

The Partnership will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary of the Partnership to, sell or transfer any pipeline, terminal or other logistics or storage property or asset employed in the transportation, distribution, storage, terminalling, processing or marketing of crude oil, natural gas, condensate or refined products that (i) is located in the United States and (ii) is determined to be a principal property by the Board of Directors in its discretion, with the intention of taking back a lease of such property; *provided, however,* this covenant shall not apply if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the lease is between the Partnership and a Subsidiary or between Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the lease is for a temporary period by the end of which it is intended that the use of such property by the
lessee will be discontinued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership could, in accordance with Section 4.10, Mortgage such
property without equally and ratably securing the Notes and other series of Debt Securities; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) (A)   the Partnership promptly informs the Trustee of such sale,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the net proceeds of such sale are at least equal to the fair value (as evidenced by a Board Resolution) of such
property; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) the Partnership shall, and in any such case the Partnership covenants that it will, within one hundred and
eighty (180) days after such sale, apply an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale to the retirement of debt of the Partnership, or of a Subsidiary of the Partnership in the case of property of such Subsidiary, maturing, by its terms
more than one (1) year after the date on which it was originally incurred (herein called "  ***funded debt*** "); *provided* that the amount to be applied to the retirement of funded debt of the Partnership or of a
Subsidiary of the Partnership shall be reduced by the amount below if, within seventy-five (75) days after such sale, the Partnership shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) stating that on a specified date after such sale the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership, as the
case may be, voluntarily retired a specified principal amount of funded debt,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) stating that such retirement was not effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any applicable mandatory
sinking fund or prepayment provision (other than provisions requiring retirement of any funded debt of the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership, as the case may be, under the circumstances referred to in this Section 4.11), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) stating the then optional redemption or prepayment price applicable to the funded debt so retired or, if there
is no such price applicable, the amount applied by the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership, as the case may be, to the retirement of such funded debt.

In the event of such a sale or transfer, the Partnership shall deliver to the Trustee the Board Resolution referred to in the parenthetical phrase contained in subclause (4)(B) of this Section 4.11 and an Officer's Certificate setting forth all material facts under this Section 4.11. For the purposes of this Section 4.11, the term "retirement" of such funded debt shall include the "in substance defeasance" of such funded debt in accordance with then applicable accounting rules.

The Partnership covenants and represents to the Trustee that neither the Partnership nor any of the Partnership's subsidiaries, or to the Partnership's knowledge, any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or representative of the Partnership or any of the Partnership's subsidiaries, is an individual or entity ("***Person***") that is, or is owned or controlled by a Person that is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the subject of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of
Foreign Assets Control or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively, "  ***Sanctions*** "), nor

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions (including, without
limitation, the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, the so-called Luhansk People's Republic, the non-government controlled areas of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Regions of Ukraine, the Crimea region of Ukraine and other Covered Regions (as defined in the Executive Order 14065) of Ukraine identified pursuant to the Executive Order 14065, Cuba, Iran and North

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) to fund or facilitate any activities or business of or with any Person or in any country or territory that, at
the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject of Sanctions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) in any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person

If the Partnership elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such

------

Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Partnership understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Partnership shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Partnership and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Partnership.

**MPLX LP** 

**5.300% Senior Notes due 2036** 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the Partnership (herein called the "***Securities***"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Indenture, dated as of February 12, 2015, as amended or supplemented to date, including as supplemented and amended by the Thirty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 12, 2026 (herein called the "***Indenture***," which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Partnership and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the "***Trustee***," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Partnership, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $1,000,000,000.

Prior to January 1, 2036, the Partnership may redeem the Securities at its option, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (1) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming such Securities matured on January 1, 2036) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after January 1, 2036, the Partnership may redeem the Securities in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

For purposes of the redemption provisions of the Securities, the following terms are applicable:

"**Business Day**" means any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York or any "Place of Payment," which the Indenture defines to mean the place or places, if any, in addition to or instead of the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, where the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities will be payable, are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

"**Treasury Rate**" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Partnership in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

------

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Partnership after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication) ("***H.15***") under the caption "U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("***H.15 TCM***"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Partnership shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to January 1, 2036 (the "***Remaining Life***"); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to January 1, 2036 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Partnership shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, January 1, 2036. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on January 1, 2036 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from January 1, 2036, one with a maturity date preceding January 1, 2036 and one with a maturity date following January 1, 2036, the Partnership shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding January 1, 2036. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on January 1, 2036 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Partnership shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

------

The Partnership's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Partnership will notify the Trustee of the redemption price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any calculation of the redemption price or of any component thereof, or for determining whether manifest error has occurred.

Unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price, on or after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. Notice of any redemption may, in the Partnership's discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. If a redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the Partnership may delay the Redemption Date until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, and any related redemption notice may be rescinded, in which case such redemption shall not occur, in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary's procedures) at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of record of the Securities to be redeemed.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Securities of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Security will state the portion of the principal amount of the Security to be redeemed. Except in the case of global notes, a new Security in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Security upon surrender for cancellation of the original note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) any Mortgage existing on February 12, 2015 (whether or not such Mortgage includes an after-acquired
property provision);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) any Mortgage, including a purchase money Mortgage, incurred in connection with the acquisition or construction
of any property (for purposes hereof, the creation of any Mortgage within one hundred eighty (180) days after the acquisition or completion of construction of such property shall be deemed to be incurred in connection with the acquisition of
such property), the assumption of any Mortgage previously existing on such acquired property or any Mortgage existing on the property of any entity when such entity becomes a Subsidiary of the Partnership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) any Mortgage on such property in favor of the United States of America, any State, or any agency, department,
political subdivision or other instrumentality of either, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments to the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of any contract or any statute;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) any Mortgage on such property in favor of the United States of America, any State, or any agency, department,
political subdivision or other instrumentality of either, to secure borrowings by the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership for the purchase or construction of the property Mortgaged;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) any Mortgage on any principal property arising in connection with or to secure all or any part of the cost of
the repair, construction, improvement or alteration of such principal property or any portion thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) any Mortgage on any movable railway, marine or automotive equipment or office building, any of which is located
at or on any such principal property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) any Mortgage on any equipment or other personal property used in connection with any such principal property;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) any Mortgage on any such principal property arising in connection with the sale of accounts receivable; or

clauses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing restriction contained in this Section 4.10, the Partnership may, and may permit its Subsidiaries to, incur liens or grant Mortgages on property covered by the restriction above so long as the net book value of the property so encumbered, together with all property subject to the restriction on sale and leasebacks contained in Section 4.11, does not, at the time such lien or Mortgage is granted, exceed fifteen percent (15%) of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Section 4.11 *Sale and Leaseback of Certain Properties*.

The Partnership will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary of the Partnership to, sell or transfer any pipeline, terminal or other logistics or storage property or asset employed in the transportation, distribution, storage, terminalling, processing or marketing of crude oil, natural gas, condensate or refined products that (i) is located in the United States and (ii) is determined to be a principal property by the Board of Directors in its discretion, with the intention of taking back a lease of such property; *provided, however,* this covenant shall not apply if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the lease is for a temporary period by the end of which it is intended that the use of such property by the
lessee will be discontinued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership could, in accordance with Section 4.10, Mortgage such
property without equally and ratably securing the Notes and other series of Debt Securities; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) (A)   the Partnership promptly informs the Trustee of such sale,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the net proceeds of such sale are at least equal to the fair value (as evidenced by a Board Resolution) of such
property; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) the Partnership shall, and in any such case the Partnership covenants that it will, within one hundred and
eighty (180) days after such sale, apply an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale to the retirement of debt of the Partnership, or of a Subsidiary of the Partnership in the case of property of such Subsidiary, maturing, by its terms
more than one (1) year after the date on which it was originally incurred (herein called "  ***funded debt*** "); *provided* that the amount to be applied to the retirement of funded debt of the Partnership or of a
Subsidiary of the Partnership shall be reduced by the amount below if, within seventy-five (75) days after such sale, the Partnership shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) stating that on a specified date after such sale the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership, as the
case may be, voluntarily retired a specified principal amount of funded debt,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) stating that such retirement was not effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any applicable mandatory
sinking fund or prepayment provision (other than provisions requiring retirement of any funded debt of the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership, as the case may be, under the circumstances referred to in this Section 4.11), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) stating the then optional redemption or prepayment price applicable to the funded debt so retired or, if there
is no such price applicable, the amount applied by the Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Partnership, as the case may be, to the retirement of such funded debt.

In the event of such a sale or transfer, the Partnership shall deliver to the Trustee the Board Resolution referred to in the parenthetical phrase contained in subclause (4)(B) of this Section 4.11 and an Officer's Certificate setting forth all material facts under this Section 4.11. For the purposes of this Section 4.11, the term "retirement" of such funded debt shall include the "in substance defeasance" of such funded debt in accordance with then applicable accounting rules.

------

Section 6. <u>Governing Law</u>. This Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws thereunder to the extent the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

Section 7. <u>Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes</u>. The recitals and statements contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Partnership, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

Section 8. <u>Conflict with TIA</u>. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the TIA that is required under the TIA to be a part of and govern this Supplemental Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Supplemental Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

Section 9. <u>Counterparts; Electronic Signature</u>. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages that are executed by manual signatures that are scanned, photocopied or faxed or by other electronic signing created on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign) or by digital signing (such as Adobe Sign), in each case that is approved by the Trustee, shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto that are executed by manual signatures that are scanned, photocopied or faxed or by other electronic signing created on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign) or by digital signing (such as Adobe Sign), in each case that is approved by the Trustee, shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes of the Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original.

Anything in the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and any document to be signed in connection with the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes (including amendments, waivers, consents and other modifications, Officer's Certificates, Company Orders and Opinions of Counsel and other issuance, authentication and delivery documents) or the transactions contemplated hereby may be signed by manual signatures that are scanned, photocopied or faxed or other electronic signatures created on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign) or by digital signature (such as Adobe Sign), in each case that is approved by the Trustee, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Trustee, and the keeping of records in electronic form, are hereby authorized, and each shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature in ink or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be.

------

Section 10. <u>Sanctions</u>. The Partnership covenants and represents to the Trustee that neither the Partnership nor any of the Partnership's subsidiaries, or to the Partnership's knowledge, any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or representative of the Partnership or any of the Partnership's subsidiaries, is an individual or entity ("***Person***") that is, or is owned or controlled by a Person that is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the subject of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of
Foreign Assets Control or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively, "  ***Sanctions*** "), nor

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions (including, without
limitation, the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, the so-called Luhansk People's Republic, the non-government controlled areas of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Regions of Ukraine, the Crimea region of Ukraine and other Covered Regions (as defined in the Executive Order 14065) of Ukraine identified pursuant to the Executive Order 14065, Cuba, Iran and North
Korea).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Partnership will not, directly or indirectly, use any payments made pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such payments to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) to fund or facilitate any activities or business of or with any Person or in any country or territory that, at
the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject of Sanctions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) in any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person
participating in the offering, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise).

Section 11. <u>Electronic Means</u>. The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions ("***Instructions***") given pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and related financing documents and delivered using email, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder (collectively, the "***Electronic Means***"); provided, however, that the Partnership shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions ("***Authorized Officers***") and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Partnership whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Partnership elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such

------

Instructions shall be deemed controlling.

**MPLX LP** 

**6.100% Senior Notes due 2056** 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the Partnership (herein called the "***Securities***"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Indenture, dated as of February 12, 2015, as amended or supplemented to date, including as supplemented and amended by the Thirty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 12, 2026 (herein called the "***Indenture***," which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Partnership and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the "***Trustee***," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Partnership, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000.

Prior to October 1, 2055, the Partnership may redeem the Securities at its option, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (1) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming such Securities matured on October 1, 2055) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points less interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

On or after October 1, 2055, the Partnership may redeem the Securities in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

For purposes of the redemption provisions of the Securities, the following terms are applicable:

"**Business Day**" means any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York or any "Place of Payment," which the Indenture defines to mean the place or places, if any, in addition to or instead of the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, where the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities will be payable, are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

"**Treasury Rate**" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Partnership in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

------

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Partnership after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as "Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15" (or any successor designation or publication) ("***H.15***") under the caption "U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal" (or any successor caption or heading) ("***H.15 TCM***"). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Partnership shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to October 1, 2055 (the "***Remaining Life***"); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to October 1, 2055 on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Partnership shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, October 1, 2055. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on October 1, 2055 but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from October 1, 2055, one with a maturity date preceding October 1, 2055 and one with a maturity date following October 1, 2055, the Partnership shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding October 1, 2055. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on October 1, 2055 or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Partnership shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

------

The Partnership's actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Partnership will notify the Trustee of the redemption price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any calculation of the redemption price or of any component thereof, or for determining whether manifest error has occurred.

Unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price, on or after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption. Notice of any redemption may, in the Partnership's discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. If a redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the Partnership may delay the Redemption Date until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, and any related redemption notice may be rescinded, in which case such redemption shall not occur, in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary's procedures) at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of record of the Securities to be redeemed.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Securities of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Security will state the portion of the principal amount of the Security to be redeemed. Except in the case of global notes, a new Security in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Security upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. In the case of the global notes, The Depository Trust Corporation, "DTC," or its nominee, will determine the allocation of the redemption price among beneficial owners in such global note in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or of certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Partnership and the Trustee to modify the Indenture or any supplemental indenture without the consent of the Holders for one or more of the following purposes: (1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Partnership; (2) to surrender any right or power conferred by the Indenture, to add to the covenants for the protection of the Holders of the Securities or to add additional defaults or events of default; (3) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision of the Indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of the Indenture, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture as shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders; (4) to permit qualification of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture

------

under the TIA; (5) to permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities of any series in uncertificated form; (6) to secure any or all Debt Securities; (7) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder; (8) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture in respect of one or more Debt Securities, under certain conditions specified therein; (9) to evidence and provide acceptance of appointment thereunder by a successor or separate Trustee and to add to or change the provisions under the Indenture as necessary; and (10) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03 of the Indenture.

The Indenture also permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Partnership and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Partnership and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Partnership with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any action or proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute an action or proceeding in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Partnership, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

------

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Debt Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Partnership in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Partnership and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but, subject to any applicable provisions of the Indenture, the Partnership may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Partnership, the Trustee and any agent of the Partnership or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Partnership, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as counsel for MPLX LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "***Partnership***"), in connection with the issuance and sale of (i) $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Partnership's 5.300% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "***2036 Notes***") and (ii) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Partnership's 6.100% Senior Notes due 2056 (together with the 2036 Notes, the "***Notes***"), pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated February 5, 2026, among the Partnership, MPLX GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the "***General Partner***"), and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., MUFG Securities Americas Inc., and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, acting as representatives of the several underwriters named therein. The Notes will be issued pursuant to a senior indenture, dated as of February 12, 2015 (as amended and supplemented to the date hereof, the "***Base Indenture***"), between the Partnership and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "***Trustee***"), as supplemented by the Thirty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (the "***Thirty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture***") and the Thirty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (together with the Thirty-Sixth Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, the "***Indenture***"), each between the Partnership and the Trustee.
