SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 

Dated as of December 20, 2011 

to 
 Indenture dated as of
September 20, 2010, as supplemented 
 7.500% Senior Notes due 2020 

 
  

 

 THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of December 20, 2011 (this
“Supplemental Indenture”), is between Energy Transfer Equity, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ETE” or the “Partnership”), and U.S. Bank National Association, a national
banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 
 RECITALS: 

WHEREAS, the Partnership has executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture, dated as of September 20, 2010, as supplemented by the
First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 20, 2010 (as supplemented, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of $1,800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 7.500% Senior Notes due
2020 (the “Notes”); 
 WHEREAS, the Notes are the Partnership’s unsecured obligations and are not guaranteed by
any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries, including ETP, Regency or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and therefore, Holders of Notes may look solely to the property and assets of ETE for the repayment of any amounts payable under any Note
Document or the Notes and for satisfaction of the Note Obligations; 
 WHEREAS, it had been the intention of the Partnership to conform the
text of the Indenture to any provision of the Description of Notes contained in the final offering document relating to the original offering of the Notes, in this case the Partnership’s Prospectus Supplement dated September 15, 2010 to
the Prospectus dated January 20, 2010 (collectively, the “Prospectus”), describing the issuance of the Notes; 

WHEREAS, the Prospectus contains the following statement in the subsection entitled “Separateness” in the Description of Notes (the
“Separateness Provision”): 
 “Each Holder of notes, by accepting a note, will be deemed to have
acknowledged and affirmed (i) the separateness of ETP and Regency from ETE and each Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) that it has purchased the notes from ETE in reliance upon the separateness of ETP and Regency from ETE and each Restricted
Subsidiary, (iii) that ETP and Regency have assets and liabilities that are separate from those of ETE and any Restricted Subsidiary, (iv) that the Note Obligations have not been guaranteed by ETP, Regency or any of their respective
subsidiaries, and (v) that, except as other Persons may expressly assume or guarantee any of the Note Documents or Note Obligations, the Holders of notes shall look solely to the property and assets of ETE, and any property pledged as
collateral with respect to the Note Documents, for the repayment of any amounts payable under any Note Document or the notes and for satisfaction of the Note Obligations and that none of ETP or any of its subsidiaries shall be personally liable to
the Holders of notes for any amounts payable, or any other Note Obligation, under the Note Documents.” 
 WHEREAS, the Separateness
Provision has been unintentionally omitted from the Indenture; 

 WHEREAS, due to the unintentional omission of the Separateness Provision in the Indenture, there
is an ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency as to the separateness of ETP and Regency from ETE and each Restricted Subsidiary; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01(a) of the Indenture, the Partnership and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture without the
consent of any Holder to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency and, therefore, the Partnership and the Trustee are authorized pursuant to Section 9.01(a) of the Indenture to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture; and

 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01(j) of the Indenture, the Partnership and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture without
the consent of any Holder to conform the text of the Indenture to any provision of the Description of Notes to the extent that such provision of the Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision in the Indenture, such
as the case herein, and therefore, for the foregoing reasons the Partnership and the Trustee are authorized pursuant to Sections 9.01(a) and 9.01(j) of the Indenture to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

 Dear Jeremy: 

This letter confirms that, effective November 8, 2013 (“Separation Date”), you are resigning from employment with Lighting
Science Group Corporation (“LSG”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), including your position as LSG’s Chief Executive Officer, and from your position as a member of LSG’s Board of Directors. 

You will be paid your salary, and receive your regular benefits, through the Separation Date, in accordance with the terms of the employment
agreement, dated November 29, 2012, between you and LSG (the “Employment Agreement”). In addition, you are entitled to receive: 
  

	 	1.	Severance. Provided that you sign and return, and do not revoke, the waiver and release of all claims that you may have against the Company, as set forth in this letter, LSG will then pay you an amount equal to
12 months of your current base pay, which amount will be paid to you in equal installments over twelve (12) months following the Separation Date (“Severance Period”), in accordance with LSG’s payroll practices. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, the payments due within the first fifty-two (52) days after the Separation Date may be accrued and paid on the first payroll date on or after the fifty-second
(52nd) day following your termination of employment. 

  

	 	2.	Health Insurance/Continuation of Benefits. During the Severance Period, you and any dependents will continue to be covered by all group health, accident, and life insurance plans or arrangements made available by
LSG in which you or your dependents were participating as of the Separation Date as if you continued to be an employee of LSG, provided that, if participation in any one or more of such plans and arrangements is not possible under the terms thereof,
LSG will take commercially reasonable steps to provide substantially similar benefits to the extent consistent with applicable law. You agree and understand that LSG shall include the value of the premiums payments made hereunder in your taxable
income if, and to the extent, required by applicable law, and shall deduct any taxes due from any payments made under Section 1 above. 

  
 1 

	 	3.	Vacation. You will be paid for all unused vacation accrued by you as of the Separation Date, if any. 

  

	 	4.	Restricted Shares. Of the five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of restricted common stock of LSG awarded to you under the terms of the Employment Agreement (the “Restricted Shares”), One Hundred
Fourteen Thousand Five Hundred Eighty-Three (114,583) shall fully vest as of the close of business on the Separation Date, subject to the terms and conditions specified in the applicable award agreement and the Lighting Science Group
Corporation Amended and Restated Equity-Based Compensation Plan (“Equity Plan”). The balance of the Restricted Shares (i.e., 385,417 Restricted Shares) shall remain unvested and will automatically terminate, and may no longer become
vested, as of 5:00 pm Florida time on the Separation Date. 

  

	 	5.	Stock Options. Of the options to purchase four million five hundred thousand (4,500,000) shares of common stock of LSG awarded to you under the terms of the Employment Agreement (the “Options”),
One Million Thirty-One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty (1,031,250) shall fully vest as of the close of business on the Separation Date, subject to the terms and conditions specified in the applicable award agreement and the Equity Plan. The balance
of the Options (i.e., 3,468,750 Options) shall remain unvested and will automatically terminate, and may no longer be exercised, as of 5:00 pm Florida time on the Separation Date. 

 

	 	6.	Non-Compete. During the Severance Period, you will not, directly or indirectly, own any interest in, establish, manage, control, participate in (whether as an officer, director, manager, employee, partner, equity
holder, member, agent, representative or otherwise), consult with, render services for, or in any other manner engage in any “Competing Business” (as defined below) anywhere in the “Restricted Area” (as defined below).
“Competing Business” means any person, business or entity engaged in the research, development, manufacture, or sale of LED lighting devices, including but not limited to, LED lighting components, LED retrofit lamps, LED luminaires, LED
fixtures and/or LED lighting systems, and any other business engaged in by LSG or its affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) as conducted, or proposed to be extended or expanded, by the Company Group as of the date of your
termination of employment. Nothing herein shall prohibit you from investing in stocks, bonds, or other securities in any business if: (i) such stocks, bonds, or other securities are listed on any United States securities exchange or are
publicly traded in an over the counter market, and such investment does not exceed, in the case of any capital stock of any one issuer, two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock, or in the case of bonds or other securities,
two percent (2%) of the aggregate principal amount thereof issued and outstanding, or (ii) such investment is completely passive and no control or influence over the management or policies of such business is exercised. 

 

	 	7.	 Waiver and Release of Claims. You, on behalf of yourself and your family, agents, representatives, heirs, executors, trustees, administrators,
successors and assigns (the “Releasors”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, settle, cancel, acquit, discharge and acknowledge to be fully satisfied, and covenant not to sue the Company and each of its subsidiaries,
affiliates, successors and assigns, and each of their
