Section 1.02 Generally. 

The rules of interpretation set forth in the Base Indenture shall be applied hereto as if set forth in full herein. 

Section 1.03 Definition of Certain Terms 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Base Indenture. 

ARTICLE II. 
 GENERAL
TERMS OF THE NOTES 
 Section 2.01 Form. 

The Notes and the Trustee’s certificates of authentication included therein shall be substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit

such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 
 The Notes shall be issued upon original issuance in whole in the form of one or more
Global Notes. Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate
amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. 

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. 

Section 2.02 Title, Amount and Payment of Principal and Interest. 

(a) The Notes shall be entitled the “4.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2028”. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) the
Notes for original issue on the date hereof (the “Initial Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000,000, and (ii) additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) for original issue from time to time after the date
hereof in such principal amounts as may be specified in an Issuer Order described in this paragraph, which will be part of 

  
 -4- 

 
the same series as the Initial Notes and which will have the same terms (except for the issue date, issue price and, in some cases, the initial interest accrual date and the first Interest
Payment Date), in each case upon an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery thereof and satisfaction of the other provisions of Section 2.04 of the Base Indenture. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated,
the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, and the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be outstanding at any time may not exceed $2,000,000,000 plus such
additional principal amounts as may be issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (except as provided in Section 2.09 of the Indenture). The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes issued and authenticated pursuant

(b) The principal amount of each Note shall be payable on October 15, 2028. Each Note shall bear interest from the date of original
issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid, at the fixed rate of 4.625% per annum. The dates on which interest on the Notes shall be payable shall be October 15 and April 15 of each year, commencing April 15,
2021 (the “Interest Payment Dates”). The regular record date for interest payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be October 1 and April 1, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

 Exhibit A-1-3 

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

CHENIERE ENERGY, INC. 

4.625% SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2028 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of the 4.625% Series Notes hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant
to the Indenture, to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the 4.625% Series Notes. 

 

	 	1.	 Interest. 

The Issuer promises to pay interest in cash on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 4.625% per annum until maturity and shall pay
the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. 
 Interest on
the notes will accrue at the rate of 4.625% per annum. Interest on the notes will be payable semiannually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2021, to the holders of record of those notes at the
close of business on the immediately preceding October 1 or April 1, as applicable. Additional interest may accrue on the notes in certain circumstances pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, and references to interest payable on
the notes in this Note shall include such additional interest. Interest on the notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the issue date of the notes. Interest on
the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose or,
at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and
interest with respect to the notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders
thereof. Until otherwise designated by the Issuer, the Issuer’s office or agency will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose. If the due date for any payment in respect of the notes is not a Business Day at the place at which
such payment is due to be paid, the holder thereof will not be entitled to payment of the amount due until the next succeeding Business Day at such place, and will not be entitled to any interest or other payment as a result of any such delay. 

 

	 	2.	 Method of Payment. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on the 4.625% Series Notes (except Defaulted Interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the persons who are
the registered Holders at the close of business on October 1 and April 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) may be paid to
the persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, or in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such 4.625%
Series Notes may then be listed if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, as more fully provided in the Indenture. The 

  
 A-1-1 

 
Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender
for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the
Depositary. Payments in respect of 4.625% Series Notes in definitive form (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose, which initially will be at the corporate
trust office of the Trustee located at 500 Ross Street, 12th Floor, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15262, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest or Additional Interest may be made by check
mailed to the Holders on the relevant record date at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders maintained by the Registrar or at the option of the Holder, payment of interest on 4.625% Series Notes in definitive form will be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to any account maintained in the United States, provided such Holder has requested such method of payment and provided timely wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent. The Holder must surrender this Note
to a Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. 
  

	 	3.	 Paying Agent and Registrar. 

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar at any time
upon notice to the Trustee and the Holders. The Issuer may act as Paying Agent. 
  

	 	4.	 Indenture. 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture. 

Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the 4.625% Series Notes include
those stated in the Base Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA, as in effect on the date of the Base Indenture, and those terms stated in the First Supplemental Indenture. The 4.625% Series Notes are subject to all such
terms (including the Guarantees set forth in Article X of the Base Indenture), and Holders of 4.625% Series Notes are referred to the Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The 4.625% Series Notes will
initially be secured on a first-priority basis with the First Lien Obligations pursuant to Collateral Documents referred to in the Indenture and are limited to an initial aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000,000; provided, however, that
the authorized aggregate principal amount of such series may be increased from time to time as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture. 
  

	 	5.	 Redemption. 

At any time prior to October 15, 2023, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of
the 4.625% Series Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price of 104.625% of the principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the
redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), with the proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: 

  
 A-1-2 

	 	(1)	 at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes issued on the Issue Date (excluding
4.625% Series Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

  

	 	(2)	 the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

 At any time prior to October 15, 2023, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the
4.625% Series Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 4.625% Series Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to but excluding, the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

Except pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the 4.625% Series Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to
October 15, 2023. The Issuer is not prohibited, however, from acquiring the 4.625% Series Notes in market transactions by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer or otherwise. 

On or after October 15, 2023, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the 4.625% Series Notes upon not less
than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 4.625% Series Notes redeemed, to but excluding the applicable
redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on October 15 of the years indicated below (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the
relevant Interest Payment Date): 
  

			
	Year	 	Percentage
	 2023
	 	 102.313%

	 2024
	 	 101.156%

	 2025 and thereafter
	 	 100.000%

 4.625% Series Notes called for redemption become due on the redemption date. Notices of redemption will be
mailed, or delivered electronically if the Notes are held at DTC, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the 4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the
4.625% Series Notes will state, among other things, the amount of 4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the method of calculating the redemption price and each place that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of
4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed. Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, interest will
cease to accrue on any 4.625% Series Notes that have been called for redemption on the redemption date. For purposes of determining the redemption price, the following definitions are applicable: 

  
 A-1-3 

 “Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any note on any redemption
date, the greater of: 
 (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such note; or 

(2) the excess of: 
  

	 	(a)	 the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such 4.625% Series Notes at
October 15, 2023 (such redemption prices being set forth in the tables appearing above) plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such note through October 15, 2023 (in each case excluding accrued but
unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over 

 

	 	(b)	 the principal amount of the note. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having
a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of the 4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for such 4.625% Series Notes, yields for the two published
maturities most closely corresponding to such United States Treasury security will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the nearest month. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and its successors or, if such firm
is not willing and able to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and four additional primary U.S. government securities
dealers (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by the Issuer; provided, however, that if such firm or any such successor, as the case may be, shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer, the Issuer
will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

  
 A-1-4 

 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for the 4.625% Series Notes, an average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the 4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

 “Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any redemption date, (a) the yield, under the heading which represents the
average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; or
(b) if the release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain these yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third
business day immediately preceding such redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for
such redemption date. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate any redemption price or any component thereof in respect of the
Notes and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Issuer that specifies any redemption price. 
  

	 	6.	 Repurchase of Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control Triggering Event and Asset Sale
Triggering Event. 

 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right,
subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on
the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest, if any, due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), as provided in, and subject to the
terms of, the Indenture. In accordance with Section 4.09 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of certain Asset Sale Triggering Events.

The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

 

	 	9.	 Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents may be amended or supplemented, and any existing Event of
Default or compliance with any provision may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each series affected. Without consent of any Holder of a Note, the parties thereto may amend or
supplement the Indenture to, among other things, cure any ambiguity or omission, to correct any defect or inconsistency, or to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note. Any such consent or waiver by the
Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any 4.625% Series Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution
herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other 4.625% Series Notes. 
  

	 	10.	 Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. 

 In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes will have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of September 22, 2020, between the Issuer and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional
Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes will have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, among the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, and the other parties thereto,
relating to rights given by the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, to the purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreement”). By such Holders’ acceptance of Restricted Global Notes
or Restricted Definitive Notes, such Holder acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, including without limitation the obligations of the Holders with respect to indemnification of the Issuer and the Subsidiary
Guarantors to the extent provided therein. 
  

	 	11.	 Defaults and Remedies. 

Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default that will result in the principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes, together
with premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. If any other Event of Default with respect to the 4.625% Series Notes occurs and is continuing, then
in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33 1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount of all the 4.625% Series Notes, together with premium, if any, and
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, if at any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been
made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 4.625% Series Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and annul its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of
a 

  
 A-1-6 

 
court already rendered and if all Events of Default with respect to the 4.625% Series Notes, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest which has become due solely
by such declaration acceleration, shall have been cured or shall have been waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Holders of 4.625% Series Notes may not enforce the Indenture or
the 4.625% Series Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity or security satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 4.625% Series Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. 
  

	 	12.	 Trustee Dealings with Issuer. 

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the
Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee. 
  

	 	13.	 Authentication. 

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note. 

 

	 	14.	 Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (tenant 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). 
  

	 	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 4.625% Series Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the 4.625% Series Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such number as printed on the 4.625% Series Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed hereon.

 A-1-7

CHENIERE ENERGY, INC. 

4.625% SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2028 

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of the 4.625% Series Notes hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant
to the Indenture, to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the 4.625% Series Notes. 

 

	 	1.	 Interest. 

The Issuer promises to pay interest in cash on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 4.625% per annum until maturity and shall pay
the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. 
 The Issuer
will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment
Date”), commencing April 15, 2021. Interest on the 4.625% Series Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Notes, from September 22, 2020. Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
applicable bankruptcy laws) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) and on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the same rate per annum, in each case to the extent lawful.

 Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchanged for one or more Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Holder hereof shall
not be entitled to receive payments of interest hereon; until so exchanged in full, this Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Notes under the Indenture. 

 

	 	2.	 Method of Payment. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on the 4.625% Series Notes (except Defaulted Interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the persons who are
the registered Holders at the close of business on October 1 and April 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) may be paid to
the persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, or in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such 4.625%
Series Notes may then be listed if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, as more fully provided in the Indenture. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of a Regulation S Temporary Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, interest and
Additional Interest) will be made by wire 

  
 A-2-1 

 
transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. Payments in respect of 4.625% Series Notes in definitive form (including principal, premium, if any, and
interest) will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose, which initially will be at the corporate trust office of the Trustee located at 500 Ross Street, 12th
Floor, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15262, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest or Additional Interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders on the relevant record date at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders
maintained by the Registrar or at the option of the Holder, payment of interest on 4.625% Series Notes in definitive form will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to any account maintained in the United States, provided such
Holder has requested such method of payment and provided timely wire transfer instructions to the Paying Agent. The Holder must surrender this Note to a Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. 

 

	 	3.	 Paying Agent and Registrar. 

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar at any time
upon notice to the Trustee and the Holders. The Issuer may act as Paying Agent. 
  

	 	4.	 Indenture. 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuer issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture. 

Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the 4.625% Series Notes include
those stated in the Base Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA, as in effect on the date of the Base Indenture, and those terms stated in the First Supplemental Indenture. The 4.625% Series Notes are subject to all such
terms (including the Guarantees set forth in Article X of the Base Indenture), and Holders of 4.625% Series Notes are referred to the Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The 4.625% Series Notes will
initially be secured on a first-priority basis with the First Lien Obligations pursuant to Collateral Documents referred to in the Indenture and are limited to an initial aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000,000; provided, however, that
the authorized aggregate principal amount of such series may be increased from time to time as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture. 
  

	 	5.	 Redemption. 

At any time prior to October 15, 2023 the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of
the 4.625% Series Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price of 104.625% of the principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the
redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), with the proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that: 

 

	 	(3)	 at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes issued on the Issue Date (excluding
4.625% Series Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and 

  
 A-2-2 

	 	(4)	 the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

 At any time prior to October 15, 2023, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the
4.625% Series Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 4.625% Series Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to but excluding, the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. 

Except pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the 4.625% Series Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to
October 15, 2023. The Issuer is not prohibited, however, from acquiring the 4.625% Series Notes in market transactions by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer or otherwise. 

On or after October 15, 2023, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the 4.625% Series Notes upon not less
than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 4.625% Series Notes redeemed, to but excluding the applicable
redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on October 15 of the years indicated below (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the
relevant Interest Payment Date):

	 2023
	 	 	102.313	% 
	 2024
	 	 	101.156	% 
	 2025 and thereafter
	 	 	100.000	% 

 4.625% Series Notes called for redemption become due on the redemption date. Notices of redemption will be
mailed, or delivered electronically if the Notes are held at DTC, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the 4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the
4.625% Series Notes will state, among other things, the amount of 4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed, the redemption date, the method of calculating the redemption price and each place that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of
4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed. Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, interest will
cease to accrue on any 4.625% Series Notes that have been called for redemption on the redemption date. For purposes of determining the redemption price, the following definitions are applicable: 

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any note on any redemption date, the greater of: 

 

	 	(3)	 1.0% of the principal amount of such note; or 

  
 A-2-3 

	 	(4)	 the excess of: 

(a) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such 4.625% Series Notes at October 15,
2023 (such redemption prices being set forth in the tables appearing above) plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such note through October 15, 2023 (in each case excluding accrued but unpaid interest
to but excluding the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points; over 

(b) the principal amount of the note. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having
a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of the 4.625% Series Notes to be redeemed; provided, however, that if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date for such 4.625% Series Notes, yields for the two published
maturities most closely corresponding to such United States Treasury security will be determined and the treasury rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis rounding to the nearest month. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and its successors or, if such firm
is not willing and able to select the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Issuer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and four additional primary U.S. government securities
dealers (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) selected by the Issuer; provided, however, that if such firm or any such successor, as the case may be, shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer, the Issuer
will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to
each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for the 4.625% Series Notes, an average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue for the 4.625% Series Notes to be
redeemed (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption
date. 

  
 A-2-4 

 “Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any redemption date, (a) the
yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity
corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; or (b) if the release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain these yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third business day immediately preceding such redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount)
equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate any
redemption price or any component thereof in respect of the Notes and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Issuer that specifies any redemption price. 

 

	 	6.	 Repurchase of Notes at the Option of the Holders upon Change of Control Triggering Event and Asset Sale
Triggering Event. 

 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right,
subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on
the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest, if any, due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), as provided in, and subject to the
terms of, the Indenture. In accordance with Section 4.09 of the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of certain Asset Sale Triggering Events. 

The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether or not a Change of Control Triggering Event or any component thereof has occurred or
is continuing. 
  

	 	7.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The 4.625% Series Notes are to be issued in registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess of $2,000. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange, 4.625% Series Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar 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. 
  

	 	8.	 Person Deemed Owners. 

The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

 

	 	9.	 Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. 

  
 A-2-5 

 Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents may be
amended or supplemented, and any existing Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each series affected. Without consent of any
Holder of a Note, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture to, among other things, cure any ambiguity or omission, to correct any defect or inconsistency, or to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
Holder of a Note. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any 4.625% Series Notes
which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other 4.625% Series Notes. 
  

	 	10.	 Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes.

 In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes will have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of September 22, 2020, between the Issuer and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional
Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes will have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, among the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, and the other parties thereto,
relating to rights given by the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, to the purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreement”). By such Holders’ acceptance of Restricted Global Notes
or Restricted Definitive Notes, such Holder acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, including without limitation the obligations of the Holders with respect to indemnification of the Issuer and the Subsidiary
Guarantors to the extent provided therein. 
  

	 	11.	 Defaults and Remedies. 

Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default that will result in the principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes, together
with premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. If any other Event of Default with respect to the 4.625% Series Notes occurs and is continuing, then
in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33 1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount of all the 4.625% Series Notes, together with premium, if any, and
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, if at any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been
made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 4.625% Series Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and annul its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of
a 

  
 A-2-6 

 
court already rendered and if all Events of Default with respect to the 4.625% Series Notes, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest which has become due solely
by such declaration acceleration, shall have been cured or shall have been waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Holders of 4.625% Series Notes may not enforce the Indenture or
the 4.625% Series Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity or security satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 4.625% Series Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Series Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. 
 This
Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchangeable in whole or in part for one or more Global Notes only (i) on or after the termination of the 40-day distribution compliance period (as defined in
Regulation S) and (ii) upon presentation of certificates (accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel, if applicable) required by Article 2 of the Indenture. Upon exchange of this Regulation S Temporary Global Note for one or more Global Notes, the
Trustee shall cancel this Regulation S Temporary Global Note. 
  

	 	12.	 Trustee Dealings with Issuer. 

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for
the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee. 
  

	 	13.	 Authentication. 

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

	 	15.	 CUSIP Numbers.

to be printed on the 4.625% Series Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the 4.625% Series Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such number as printed on the 4.625% Series Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other

CHENIERE ENERGY, INC. 

4.625% SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2028 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 

September 22, 2020 
 Credit Suisse Securities
(USA) LLC 
 as Representative of the Initial Purchasers 

c/o Eleven Madison Avenue, 
 New
York, N.Y. 10010-3629 
 Ladies and Gentleman: 

Cheniere Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), proposes to issue and sell to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC
and the initial purchasers named in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is acting as Representative, upon the terms set forth in the purchase agreement dated
September 15, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Issuer and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as Representative of the Initial Purchasers, $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% Senior
Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Initial Securities”) to be unconditionally guaranteed in the future by all of its future subsidiaries (with the exception of Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC) that guarantee any of the Issuer’s
Material Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture (as defined below)) (such subsidiaries, if any, the “Guarantors” and, together with the Issuer, the “Company”). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an
indenture, dated as of September 22, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, to be
dated as of September 22, 2020 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) (the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers’
entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees with the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Securities (including, without limitation, the Initial Purchasers), the Exchange Securities (as defined below) and the
Private Exchange Securities (as defined below) (collectively the “Holders”), as follows: 
 1. Registered Exchange
Offer. The Company shall, at its own cost, prepare and use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer
Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to a proposed offer (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to the Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the
Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities (the “Exchange Securities”) of the Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except for the transfer
restrictions relating to the Initial Securities and the provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) that would be registered under the Securities Act. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 360 days (or if the 360th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the date of
original issuance of the Initial Securities (the “Issue Date”) and shall keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 20 business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice of
the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed or electronically delivered to the Holders (such period being called the “Exchange Offer Registration Period”). 

If the Company effects the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company will be entitled to close the Registered Exchange Offer 20 business days
after the commencement thereof provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer. 

 

 Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
the Company shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof) electing to exchange the
Initial Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and has no
arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange Securities from and
after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United States. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the Registered Exchange Offer on or before the 60th day after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act. 

The Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission’s staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in
the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder that is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Initial Securities, acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange
Securities (an “Exchanging Dealer”), is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and
the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an Initial Purchaser that elects to sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Initial Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment is required to deliver a prospectus
containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale. 

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement
the prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such
requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such period
shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company
shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 90 days after the consummation of the Registered
Exchange Offer. 
 If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as
part of its initial distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial
Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the Initial Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects
(including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the securities laws of the several states of the United States, but excluding provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) to the Initial
Securities (the “Private Exchange Securities”). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the “Securities”. 

In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall: 

(a) mail or electronically deliver to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together
with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents; 

  
 2 

 (b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 business days (or longer,
if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed or electronically delivered to the Holders; 
 (c) utilize the
services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee; 

(d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, or 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last
business day on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 
 (e) otherwise comply with all applicable laws. 

As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall: 

(x) accept for exchange all the Initial Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the Private
Exchange; 
 (y) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Securities so accepted for exchange; and 

(z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange
Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange. 
 The
Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and, other than as described in Section 9.02 of the Indenture, that all the Securities will vote and consent
together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any matter. 

Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange
will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Initial Securities, from the Issue Date. 

Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation
of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Company or if it is an affiliate,
such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the
distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus
forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) the Company determines that it is not permitted
to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, under applicable law or applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated on or prior to the
360th day after the Issue Date, or (iii) any Initial Purchaser notifies the Issuer in writing following the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer that such Initial Purchaser holds
Transfer Restricted Securities that are not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall take the following actions: 

(a) The Company shall, at its cost, prepare and file with the Commission and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) a registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement” and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a
“Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof) by the Holders thereof from time to time in
accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the “Shelf Registration”); provided, however, that no Holder (other than an Initial
Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. 

(b) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in
order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities for a period of one year (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from the Issue Date or such
shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) may be freely sold without volume restrictions by
non-affiliates pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof, or otherwise transferred in a manner that results in (A) the Securities not being subject to transfer
restrictions under the Securities Act and (B) the absence of a need for a restrictive legend regarding registration and the Securities Act (assuming for the purpose that the Holders thereof are not affiliates of the Company) (such period being
called the “Shelf Registration Period”). 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to
the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of its respective effective date, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein (in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading. 
 3.
Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any Registered Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply:

 (a) The Company shall (i) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy
of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser (with respect to any portion of an unsold allotment from the original offering) is
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as such Initial Purchaser reasonably
may propose, provided that such comments are received by the Issuer within ten business days after the receipt by such Initial 

  
 4 

 
Purchaser of such document; (ii) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the
“Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section and in Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and include the information set forth in Annex D
hereto in the Letter of Transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; (iii) if requested by an Initial Purchaser, include the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K
under the Securities Act, as applicable, in the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; (iv) include within the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of
Distribution,” reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the Commission with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any
broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of Exchange Securities received by such
broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the Commission or such positions or policies, in the reasonable
judgment of the Initial Purchasers based upon advice of counsel (which may be in-house counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff of the Commission; and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration
Statement, include in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement (or, if permitted by Rule 430B(b) under the Securities Act, in a prospectus supplement that becomes a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B(f) under the Securities Act)
that is delivered to any Holder pursuant to Sections 3(d) and (f) hereof, the names of the Holders who propose to sell Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as selling securityholders. 

(b) The Company shall give written notice to the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any Participating
Broker-Dealer from whom the Issuer has received prior written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend
the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 
 (i) when the Registration Statement or any
amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 

(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included
therein or for additional information; 
 (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, of the issuance by the Commission of a notification of objection to the use of the form on which the Registration Statement has been filed, and of the
happening of any event that causes the Company to become an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; 

(iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 

(v) except to the extent otherwise incorporated therein by reference, of the happening of any event that requires the Company
to make changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order that the Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 

  
 5 

 (c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
withdrawal at the earliest possible time of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 
 (d) To
the extent not available on the Commission’s web site at www.sec.gov, the Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities named in the Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any
post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any, incorporated by reference). The Company shall not, without the
prior consent of the Initial Purchasers, make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. 

(e) To the extent not available on the Commission’s web site at www.sec.gov, the Company shall deliver to each Exchanging
Dealer and each Initial Purchaser, and to any other Holder who so requests in writing, without charge, at least one copy of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, and, if any Initial Purchaser or any such Holder requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those incorporated by reference). 

(f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of the Securities included within the
coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request
in writing. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the
Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement. 

(g) The Company shall deliver to each Initial Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other
persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such persons
may reasonably request in writing. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Initial Purchaser, if necessary, any Exchanging Dealer, any
Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 
 (h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities,
pursuant to any Registration Statement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or
qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 

(i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a reasonable period of time prior to sales
of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 
  

  
 6 

 (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs
(ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the
Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Initial
Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the
Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j). During the period during which the Company is required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will prior to the three-year expiration of that Shelf Registration Statement file, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically
upon filing) within a period that avoids any interruption in the ability of Holders of the Securities covered by the expiring Shelf Registration Statement to make registered dispositions, a new registration statement relating to the Securities,
which shall be deemed the “Shelf Registration Statement” for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (k) Not later than the
effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and provide the applicable trustee with
printed certificates for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company. 

(l) The Company will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable
to the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its securityholders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earning statement satisfying the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Issuer’s first fiscal
quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period. 

(m) The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust
Indenture Act”), in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company
shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
 (n) The Company may require
each Holder of the Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for
inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 

  
 7 

 (o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if
requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as any Holder of the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration.

 (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the
Holders of the Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter all relevant
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the
Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within
the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated by the Initial Purchasers and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated by
and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof; provided, further, that, if the Company designates in writing any such information, reasonably and in good faith, as confidential, at the time of delivery of such
information, each such person will be required to agree or acknowledge that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the
securities of the Company or otherwise unless and until such is made generally available to the public through no fault or action of such person. 

(q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if requested by any Holder of the Securities covered thereby, shall
cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities substantially in the form provided pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Purchase Agreement with such changes as are customary in connection with the
preparation of a Registration Statement addressed to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) its officers to
execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the applicable Securities, dated the date of the closing of such offering of such Securities, and (iii) its independent public
accountants to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter dated the date of the closing of such offering of such Securities, in customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Auditing Standards No. 6101. 

(r) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by
Holders to the Issuer (or to such other Person as directed by the Issuer) in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the Initial Securities so
exchanged that such Initial Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and in no event shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 

(s) The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to confirm that the rating of the Initial Securities obtained prior to
the initial sale of such Initial Securities will also apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement. 
 (t) In
the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Rules
(the “Rules”) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”)) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect
thereof, or otherwise, 

  
 8 

 
the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 5121, shall so require,
engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in Rule 5121) to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if
any portion of the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent
underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of
the Rules. 
 (u) So long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, the Issuer shall cause each future
subsidiary of the Issuer that executes a Guarantee of the Notes upon its execution of such Guarantee to execute a counterpart to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex E and to deliver such counterpart, together with an opinion of
counsel as to the enforceability thereof against such entity, to the Initial Purchasers no later than five Business Days following the execution thereof. 

(v) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the
Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 
 4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 1 through 3 hereof (including the reasonable fees and expenses, if any, of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers,
incurred in connection with the Registered Exchange Offer), whether or not the Registered Exchange Offer or a Shelf Registration is filed or becomes effective, and, in the event of a Shelf Registration, shall bear or reimburse the Holders of the
Securities covered thereby for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel designated by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Initial Securities covered thereby to act as counsel for the Holders of the Initial
Securities in connection therewith. 
 5. Indemnification and Contribution. 

(a) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer, any of
their partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or
“issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (“Issuer FWP”), relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating, preparing or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that (i) the Issuer will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in 

  
 9 

 
conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or any omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the
benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be
delivered (including through satisfaction of the conditions of Rule 172 under the Securities Act) by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability
of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the time of sale of such Securities to such person, an amended or supplemented prospectus, or if permitted by
Section 3(d) hereof, an Issuer FWP correcting such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission if the Issuer had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided
further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Issuer may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Issuer shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who
controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders. 

(b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and each Guarantor,
their respective partners, members, managers, officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a
“Holder Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which such Holder Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Issuer or any Guarantor or their respective officers or directors by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth in
the immediately preceding clause, will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in
respect thereof, as such expenses are incurred. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Issuer, each Guarantor, their respective officers and directors or any of their respective
controlling persons. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has
been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an
indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to 

  
 10 

 
assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party),
and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action 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 any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or
a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and
the indemnified party on the other from the exchange of the Initial Securities, pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue statement 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 Issuer on the one hand or such Holder or such other
indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (d), the Holders of the Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement 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. For purposes of this subsection (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and
each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer. 

(e) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or any Holder Indemnified Party. 

  
 11 

 6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances. 

(a) Additional interest with respect to the Initial Securities (the “Additional Interest”) shall be assessed
as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clause (i) and (ii) below, a “Registration Default”): 

(i) The Exchange Offer has not been completed on or prior to the 360th day
after the Issue Date; or 
 (ii) If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2 above, the Company is required to file a Shelf
Registration Statement, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 360th day after the Issue Date or, if the Company is required to file
a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to any unsold allotment of Initial Securities held by any Initial Purchaser, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission by the later of (A) the 360th day after the Issue Date and (B) the 180th day after the date on which such Initial Purchaser requests that the Company file a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Initial
Securities. 
 Additional Interest shall accrue on the Initial Securities over and above the interest set forth in the title of the Initial
Securities from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured, as follows: with respect to the first
90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default, Additional Interest will be paid in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Initial Securities; and
with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, Additional Interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to such periods, up to a maximum
amount of Additional Interest for all Registration Defaults of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Initial Securities for any period after the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
the first Registration Default. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any Initial Securities, Additional Interest shall cease to accrue with respect to such securities. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a) hereof shall be deemed not to have
occurred and be continuing, and the Company shall have no obligation to pay Additional Interest as a result of such Registration Default, if such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of action taken or not taken by the Commission
that is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion or otherwise not in accordance with law within the meaning of the federal Administrative Procedure Act, as amended, as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section 6(a) above will be payable in cash on the regular interest
payment dates with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities, multiplied
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360. 
 (d) “Transfer Restricted
Securities” means each Security until (i) the date on which such Transfer Restricted Security has been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer,
(ii) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer of an Initial Security for an Exchange Security, the date on which such Exchange Security is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to
the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (iii) the date on which the resale of such Initial Security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and such Initial
Security is disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the date on which such Initial Securities are distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. 

  
 12 

 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6, (i) the
amount of Additional Interest payable shall not increase solely because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is pending, and a Holder of a Transfer Restricted Security who is not entitled to the benefits of the Shelf Registration
Statement (i.e., such Holder has not elected to furnish information to the Issuer in accordance with Section 3(n) hereof) shall not be entitled to Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default relating to a Shelf
Registration Statement, and (ii) no Holder who (x) was eligible to exchange such Holder’s outstanding Securities at the time the Exchange Offer was pending and consummated and (y) failed to validly tender such Securities for
exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer shall be entitled to receive any Additional Interest that would otherwise accrue subsequent to the date that the Exchange Offer is consummated. 

7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, make publicly available other information so long as
necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A under the Securities Act. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Initial Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Initial Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A under the Securities Act (including the requirements of Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act). The Company will provide a copy of this Agreement to prospective purchasers of Initial Securities identified to the Issuer by the Initial Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of Initial
Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of
its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act or take any such actions after the Securities no longer constitute Transfer Restricted Securities. 

8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an
underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (“Managing Underwriters”) will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
such Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in such offering. 
 No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and
(ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

9. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers
or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Issuer and the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waivers or
consents.

 ANNEX A 

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within
the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such
Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Issuer and the Guarantors, if any, have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined
herein), it will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX B 

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities, where such Initial Securities were acquired by
such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.” 

 ANNEX C 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 Each broker-dealer that
receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities. The Issuer and the Guarantors, if any, have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, they will make this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with
any such resale. In addition, until                , 20    , all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver
a prospectus.(1) 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors, if any, will not receive any proceeds from any sale
of Exchange Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market
prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of
commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and
any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission
or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not
be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
 For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the
Issuer and the Guarantors, if any, will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Issuer and the
Guarantors, if any, have agreed to pay all reasonable expenses incident to the Registered Exchange Offer (including the reasonable expenses of one counsel for the Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or
dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Securities (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
