RECITALS OF THE COMPANY 
 WHEREAS, Section 901(5) of the Indenture permits supplements thereto without the consent of Holders of Securities to change any provisions of the Indenture with respect to a series of Securities,
where there are no Securities Outstanding which are entitled to the benefit of such provision; and 
 WHEREAS, as contemplated
by Section 301 of the Indenture, the Company intends to issue from time to time two new series of Securities consisting of 3.250% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Senior Notes”) and 4.875% Senior Debentures due 2043 (the
“Senior Debentures”) under the Indenture; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, THIS FIFTEENTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

 For consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, each party agrees as
follows, for the benefit of the other 

 
party and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Senior Notes and Senior Debentures as follows: 
 SECTION 1. For the purpose of this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, all terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture, as supplemented hereby.

 SECTION 2. For the sole benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes and the Senior Debentures: 

SECTION 2.1 The Company shall issue the Senior Notes in an initial aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 and the Senior Debentures in an initial
aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 on the date hereof. The forms of the Senior Notes and the Senior Debentures are set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto, respectively. The Senior Notes and the Senior Debentures shall include the
legends set forth on the face of Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto, respectively, substantially in the form so set forth, except to the extent otherwise provided herein. 
 SECTION 2.2 The Senior Notes and the Senior Debentures shall each be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Securities, in registered form substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto, respectively (together, the “Global Securities”), registered in the name of the nominee of The Depository Trust Company, as U.S. Depositary, deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the
Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in Section 303 of the Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made
on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, in accordance with the instructions given by the Holder thereof, as hereinafter provided. 
 SECTION 2.3 Section 1101 of the Indenture is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following Section 1101: 

SECTION 1101. Optional Redemption. The Senior Notes and/or Senior Debentures will be redeemable, in accordance
with this Article Eleven, at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, on any date on or after December 15, 2022, in the case of the Senior
Notes, and on or after December 15, 2042, in the case of the Senior Debentures, to their maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount thereof and any accrued and unpaid interest, to the Redemption Date
(subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). The Company shall mail notice of any such redemption at least
30 days, but not more than 60 days, before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures, as the case may be, to be redeemed. 

  
 2 

 The Senior Notes and/or Senior Debentures will be redeemable, in accordance
with this Article Eleven, at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, on any date prior to December 15, 2022, in the case of the Senior Notes,
and prior to December 15, 2042, in the case of the Senior Debentures, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount thereof and the Make-Whole Amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, to the Redemption Date (subject
to the rights of holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). The Make-Whole Amount with respect to such a redemption shall be
calculated by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company. If, for purposes of calculating the Make-Whole Amount, the Reinvestment Rate shall not be available as set forth in the definition thereof,
the Reinvestment Rate shall be calculated by interpolation or extrapolation of comparable rates selected by the independent investment banking institution. 
 For purposes of this Section 1101, the term “Make-Whole Amount” means the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the Redemption Date of the principal being redeemed
and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) that would have been payable if redemption had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semiannual basis, the remaining principal and interest at the
Reinvestment Rate described below (determined on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date) from the dates on which the principal and interest would have been payable if the redemption had not been made, to the Redemption Date, over
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes or Senior Debentures, as the case may be. 
 For
purposes of this Section 1101, the term “Reinvestment Rate” means (i) the arithmetic mean of the yields under the heading “Week Ending” published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any
comparable successor publication) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to Maturity, as of the payment date of the principal being redeemed or
paid, plus (ii) 0.20%, in the case of the Senior Notes, or 0.25%, in the case of the Senior Debentures. If no maturity exactly corresponds to the Maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Maturity shall
be so calculated and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated, as the case may be, on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month. The most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 published prior to the date of
determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used for purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate. 
 SECTION 2.4 Section 101 of the
Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following definitions, each in appropriate alphabetical order: 

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” with respect to the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures, as the case may
be, means that such Senior Notes or Senior Debentures become rated below Investment Grade by all of the Rating Agencies on any 

  
 3 

 
date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that results in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control
(which period shall be extended so long as the rating of such Senior Notes or Senior Debentures, as the case may be, is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment
Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of
the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request
that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at
the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of
any of the following: 
  

	 	(1)	the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of
all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and those of the subsidiaries of the Company, taken as a whole, to any “person” (individually and as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) and Section 14(d)(2)
of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of its Affiliates; 

  

	 	(2)	the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company are not Continuing Directors; 

 

	 	(3)	the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any
“person” (individually and as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) and Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company, one of its subsidiaries or Redstone Family Members, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company, and following such transaction or transactions, Redstone Family Members beneficially own less than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company, in each case, measured by voting power rather
than number of shares; or 

  

	 	(4)	the consummation of a so-called “going private/Rule 13e-3 Transaction” that results in any of the effects described in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of Rule 13e-3
under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision) with respect to each class of the Company’s common stock, following which Redstone Family Members beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company,
measured by voting power rather than the number of shares. 

  
 4 

 As used in this definition of “Change of Control,” an
“Affiliate” of the Company means any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, or directly or indirectly controlled by a Redstone Family Member, and “Voting
Stock,” as applied to stock of any Person, means shares, interests, participations or other equivalents in the equity interest (however designated) in such Person having ordinary voting power for the election of a majority of the directors (or
the equivalent) of such Person, other than shares, interests, participations or other equivalents having such power only by reason of the occurrence of a contingency.

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of
Directors of the Company who: 
  

	 	(1)	was a member of such Board of Directors on the first date that any of the Senior Notes and Senior Debentures were issued; or 

 

	 	(2)	was nominated for election or elected to the Board of Directors of the Company (i) with the approval of Redstone Family Members representing not less than 50% of
the Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, or (ii) with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of such nomination
or election. 

 “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or
its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s), BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P) or BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories
of Fitch) (or, in each case, if such Rating Agency ceases to rate the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures, as the case may be, for reasons outside of the Company’s control, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any Rating Agency
selected by the Company as a replacement Rating Agency). 
 “Redstone Family Members” includes only
the following persons: (i) Mr. Sumner Redstone, (ii) the estate of Mr. Redstone; (iii) each descendant of Mr. Redstone or spouse or former spouse of Mr. Redstone and their respective estates, guardians,
conservators or committees; (iv) any spouse or former spouse of Mr. Redstone; (v) each “Family Controlled Entity” (as defined below); and (vi) the trustees, in their respective capacities as such, of each “Family
Controlled Trust” (as defined below). The term “Family Controlled Entity” means (i) any not-for-profit corporation if more than 50% of its board of directors is composed of Redstone Family Members; (ii) any other corporation
if more than 50% of the value of its outstanding equity is owned by Redstone Family Members; (iii) any partnership if more than 50% of the value of its partnership interests are owned 

  
 5 

 
by Redstone Family Members; and (iv) any limited liability or similar company if more than 50% of the value of the company is owned by Redstone Family Members. The term “Family
Controlled Trust” includes certain trusts existing on March 11, 2013 and any other trusts the primary beneficiaries of which are Redstone Family Members, spouses of Redstone Family Members and/or charitable organizations, provided that if
the trust is a wholly charitable trust, more than 50% of the trustees of such trust consist of Redstone Family Members. 
 “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings, Ltd. 

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 

“Rating Agency” means: 
  

	 	(1)	 each of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch; and 

  

	 	(2)	if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to rate the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures or fails to make a rating of the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures, as the
case may be, publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a
replacement agency for any or all of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as the case may be. 

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

 SECTION 2.5 The following Section 1108 is hereby added to the Indenture: 

SECTION 1108. Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event in respect
of the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures, the Company shall make an offer to each holder of such Senior Notes and/or Senior Debentures as to which the Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or
an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such holder’s Senior Notes and Senior Debentures pursuant to the offer described in this Section 1108 (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Price”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event in respect of the Senior Notes and/or
Senior Debentures, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or
may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures, as the case may be, on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60
days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to
the payment date specified in the notice. 

  
 6 

 (b) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations
and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures by virtue of such conflict. 

(c) On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 

 

	 	(1)	accept for payment all Senior Notes and Senior Debentures or portions of Senior Notes and Senior Debentures properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer;

  

	 	(2)	 deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Senior Notes and Senior Debentures or portions of
Senior Notes and Senior Debentures properly tendered; and 

  

	 	(3)	 deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Senior Notes and Senior Debentures properly accepted, together with an officers’
certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and Senior Debentures being purchased by the Company. 

 (d) The Paying Agent shall promptly pay, from funds deposited by the Company for such purpose, to each holder of Senior Notes and Senior Debentures properly tendered the purchase price for the Senior
Notes and Senior Debentures, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Senior Note and/or Senior Debenture equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of Senior
Notes and Senior Debentures surrendered, as the case may be. 
 (e) The Company shall not be required to make an
offer to repurchase the Senior Notes or Senior Debentures subject to any Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the
Company and such third party purchases all Senior Notes and Senior Debentures properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 
 SECTION
2.6 The following Section 305A is hereby added to the Indenture: 
 SECTION 305A. Book-Entry Provisions
for Global Securities. (a) Each Global Security initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee, as custodian for such
Depositary, and (iii) bear legends as set forth on the face of the form of the Senior Note or of the form of the Senior Debenture, as applicable. 

  
 7 

 Members of, or Participants in, the Depositary (“Agent
Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise
of the rights of a holder of any Security. 
 (b) Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers
of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Transfers of interests in one Global Security to parties who will hold the interests through the same Global Security will be effected
in the ordinary way in accordance with the rules and operating procedures of the applicable Depositary. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” of
Euroclear and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall be applicable to interests in the Global Securities that are held by Agent Members through Euroclear and Clearstream.

 (c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Securities that is transferred to a person who takes
delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in such other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer
restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for so long as it remains such an interest. 
 (d) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 305A, the Registrar shall reflect on its
books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest in such Global Security to be transferred. 

(e) In connection with the transfer of the Global Securities, in whole, to beneficial owners pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section 305A, the Global Securities shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 (f) The registered holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action
which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Senior Notes and Senior Debentures. 

  
 8 

 (g) The Senior Notes and Senior Debentures are initially solely issuable as
Global Securities. Registered Securities shall be physically transferred to all beneficial owners in definitive form in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security, if the Depositary with respect to such Global Securities notifies
the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security, as the case may be, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice. 

(h) All Senior Notes and Senior Debentures issued upon any transfer or exchange of Senior Notes and Senior Debentures
shall be valid, legally enforceable obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Senior Notes and Senior Debentures surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

SECTION 3. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THIS FIFTEENTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. 

SECTION 4. This Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 SECTION 5. Except as herein amended with respect
to the Senior Notes and the Senior Debentures, all applicable terms, conditions and provisions of the Indenture, as supplemented, shall continue in full force and effect and shall remain binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms. 
 SECTION 6. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture. The recitals and
statements herein are deemed to be those of the Company and not of the Trustee. 

  
 9 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture to be
duly executed, all as of the day and year first written above.

 EXHIBIT A TO FIFTEENTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 

Each Global Security shall bear the following legend: Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Company (as defined below) or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of
Cede & Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR
OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. 
 Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is
registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the
Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor
Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.

one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the March 1 or September 1, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such
interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and such defaulted interest, shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Security not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more
fully provided in said Indenture. Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated for such purpose, in such coin

Company’s option be paid in immediately available funds by transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States. 
 The statements set forth in the restrictive legends above are an integral part of the terms of this Security and by acceptance hereof each holder of this Security agrees to be subject to and bound by
terms and provisions set forth in such legend.

relevant Interest Payment Date). 
 The Securities of this series will be redeemable at any time, at the option

any accrued and unpaid interest, to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

 In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Securities of this series for redemption will be
made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal U.S. national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities of this series are listed or, if they are not listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, by lot or by
such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to be fair and appropriate; provided that no Securities of this series of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the

cancellation of the original Security. 
 INCLUDE IF SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY: In the event of a deposit
or withdrawal of an interest in this Security, including an exchange, transfer, repurchase or conversion of this Security in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or

Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than specified percentages in 

  
 A-4

 
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions
of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Security of this series will have any
right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to this series, the Holders of
not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series shall have made written request to, and offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to, the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the Trustee shall not
have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however,
that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on this Security on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

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

Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Securities of this series of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and
of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge
shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

  
 A-5

 Prior to the time of due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and none of the
Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

If at any time, a Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary and a successor Depositary is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days, then the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Securities in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of this Security in exchange for this Security. Such Securities in definitive registered form shall be registered in such names and issued in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or
indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been duly executed by or on behalf of The Bank of New York Mellon,
the Trustee under the Indenture, or its successor thereunder, by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its authorized officers, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 This Security shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 (iii) In the event that the percentile rank achieved is greater than or equal to the 33rd percentile but less than or equal to the 50th percentile, then the number of Performance Vested Shares vesting on
the Vesting Date shall be equal to the sum of (1) 50% of the number of Performance Vested Shares eligible to vest on the Vesting Date; plus (2) the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual percentile rank
achieved expressed as a simple percentage minus 33% and the denominator of which is 17%, multiplied by (y) 50% of the number of Performance Vested Shares eligible to vest on the Vesting Date. 

  
 3 

 (iv) The number of Outperformance Shares eligible to be earned on a Vesting Date shall be
equal to the sum of (x) the “Number of Shares First Eligible to be Earned by Performance Criteria” on such Vesting Date as set forth in the table in Section 2(a), plus (y) any Outperformance Shares that were eligible
to become earned, but were not earned, on any prior Vesting Date. Any Outperformance Shares that are not earned as of March 8, 2016 (the final Vesting Date) shall no longer be eligible to be earned by Participant after such date. 

(v) In the event that the percentile rank achieved is above the 50th percentile, then the number of Outperformance Shares earned on the
Vesting Date shall be equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual percentile rank achieved expressed as a simple percentage minus 50% and the denominator of which is 50%, multiplied by (y) the difference
between (i) and (ii), where (i) is the “Number of Shares First Eligible to be Earned by Performance Criteria” on such Vesting Date as set forth in the table in Section 2(a), plus any Outperformance Shares that were
eligible to become earned on any prior Vesting Date and (ii) is the total number of Outperformance Shares that were actually earned on any prior Vesting Date. 
 (vi) “Cumulative TSR” means: 
 (1) the result of: 

a. Average Share Price for the last sixty (60) trading days prior to the applicable Vesting Date, minus 

b. Average Share Price for the sixty (60) trading days preceding the Date of Grant, plus 

c. Dividends (cash or stock based on ex-dividend date) paid per share of common stock between the Date of Grant and applicable Vesting
Date, 
 divided by 
 (2) Average Share Price for the sixty (60) trading days preceding the Date of Grant. 
 (vii) “Average Share Price” means the average daily closing price of the applicable Corporation’s shares of common stock over the relevant measuring period on the principal
securities exchange on which such shares are listed, as published by a reputable source. 
 (viii) “Comparison
Group” means the companies identified in a separate writing distributed to Participant coincident with this Agreement. Any member of the Comparison Group that ceases to be a publicly traded entity on a recognized securities exchange will be
removed from the Comparison Group for purposes of determining the number of Performance Vested Shares that shall vest on all subsequent Vesting Dates. No companies may be added to the Comparison Group.

 (c) Continuing Employment. Except as provided below, vesting of Restricted Stock or
earning of Outperformance Shares pursuant to the foregoing schedule shall occur on a Vesting Date only if Participant continues to be employed by the Corporation from the Date of Grant to such Vesting Date. If the Participant ceases to be employed
by the Corporation at any time prior to the final Vesting Date, for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, except as provided below, all unvested Restricted Stock and the right to earn any unearned Outperformance Shares shall be forfeited
immediately and automatically on the date that Participant’s employment is terminated, without payment of any consideration to Participant, and the Participant shall have no further rights under this Agreement. If the Participant is employed by
a subsidiary of the Corporation, any references in this Agreement to employment with the Corporation shall instead be deemed to refer to employment with such subsidiary. 
 (d) Death or Disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unvested Restricted Stock shall vest, but the right to earn any remaining Outperformance Shares shall terminate, effective immediately
upon (i) the death of Participant or (ii) the Administrator’s determination that Participant suffers from a Disability (as defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means: (A) if the
Participant’s employment with the Corporation is subject to the terms of an employment agreement between the Participant and the Corporation, which employment agreement includes a definition of “Disability,” the term
“Disability” as used in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in such employment agreement during the period that such employment agreement remains in effect; and (B) in the absence of such an agreement, the term
“Disability” shall mean a physical or mental infirmity which impairs the Participant’s ability to substantially perform his or her duties for a period of 180 consecutive days. 

(e) Change in Control Event. If, when and to the extent determined by the Administrator pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Plan,
in the event that the Corporation undergoes a Change in Control Event, any unvested Restricted Stock held by Participant will become fully vested. Any remaining Outperformance Shares that have not been earned as of the date of any Change of Control
will become fully earned to the extent that the performance thresholds applicable to such shares are met in the Change of Control transaction, as determined by the Corporation’s Board in its reasonable discretion. 

(f) [FOR CEO AND PRESIDENT ONLY] Qualifying Retirement. Notwithstanding the retirement of the Participant, any
Restricted Stock that remains unvested and any Outperformance Shares that remain unearned as of such retirement date shall not terminate, but shall continue to vest as if the Participant continued to be employed by the Corporation, unless the
Administrator reasonably determines that the retirement was not a Qualifying Retirement. “Qualifying Retirement” means retirement by the Participant after the Participant has (1) attained the age of 65, (2) completed
at least five years of employment with the Corporation or its predecessor entities, and (3) remains in compliance with the terms of any non-compete agreement between the Corporation and the Participant in place at the time of Participant’s
retirement. In the event that subsequent to the date of the Participant’s retirement, he breaches the terms of any such non-compete agreement and fails to cure such breach within 60 days following written notice, then any shares of
Restricted Stock that remain unvested and any right to earn Outperformance Shares that remain unearned at such time shall be forfeited as of the end of such cure period. The Participant agrees that he shall give the Corporation a minimum of six
months advanced written notice of any retirement, except where circumstances do not permit such notice in which case Participant shall give the maximum amount of advanced notice reasonably practicable.

 3. Outperformance Shares. 
 (a) Payment. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which any Outperformance Shares are earned pursuant to Section 2 above, but effective upon such date, the Corporation shall
deliver to Participant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Outperformance Shares that were earned on such date. 
 (b) No Stockholder Rights. Participant shall have no stockholder rights with respect to Outperformance Shares. Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to shares of Common Stock
that have been transferred to Participant in accordance with Section 3(a) in settlement of earned Outperformance Shares. 

(c) Dividend Equivalent Rights. Participant shall be entitled to a cash payment with respect to each Outperformance Share earned
under this Agreement in an amount equal to the ordinary cash dividends that would have been payable to Participant had Participant been the owner of an actual share of Common Stock (as opposed to an Outperformance Share) from the Date of Grant
through the date the Outperformance Share is settled pursuant to Section 3(a). Such cash payment shall be made in a single lump sum on the date on which payment is made in respect of the related Outperformance Share pursuant to
Section 3(a). 
 4. Issuance and Limits on Transferability. Shares of Restricted Stock shall not be transferable until vested except
by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a beneficiary designation, or as otherwise permitted by Section 5.7 of the Plan, and Outperformance Shares shall not be transferable in any event. No right or benefit hereunder
shall in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of Participant. Any purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or other encumbrance of (i) shares of unvested Restricted Stock
that does not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement and the Plan, prior to the lapse of the restrictions on such shares pursuant to Section 2, or (ii) Outperformance Shares, shall be void and unenforceable against the Corporation. The
Corporation shall not be required to treat as the owner of Restricted Stock any transferee to whom such Restricted Stock has been transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 

5. Certificates. A certificate evidencing Restricted Stock may be issued by the Corporation in Participant’s name, or at the option of the
Corporation, in the name of a nominee of the Corporation, pursuant to which Participant shall have voting rights and shall be entitled to receive all dividends until the Restricted Stock is otherwise forfeited pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement. The certificate shall bear a legend evidencing the nature of the Restricted Stock, and the Corporation may cause the certificate to be delivered upon issuance to the Secretary of the Corporation or to such other depository as may be
designated by the Corporation as a depository for safekeeping until the Vesting Date or a forfeiture occurs pursuant to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. Upon the request of the Administrator, Participant shall deliver to the Corporation a
stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to unvested Restricted Stock. Additionally, in lieu of issuing a certificate evidencing Restricted Stock, the Corporation may issue such stock by establishing a restricted stock file with its transfer agent
evidencing such Restricted Stock prior to the lapsing of the applicable restriction. Upon a Vesting Date, the Corporation shall cause a certificate or certificates to be issued without legend in the name of Participant for the Restricted Stock
vesting on such date. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock (whether subject to restrictions or unrestricted) may be postponed for such period as may be required to comply with
applicable requirements of any national securities exchange or any requirements under any law or regulation applicable to the issuance or delivery of such shares. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock
if the issuance or delivery thereof shall constitute a violation of any provision of any law or of any regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange.

 6. Status of Stock. Participant agrees that the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable hereunder
will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. Participant also agrees (i) to the extent the shares are certificated, that the certificates
representing the Restricted Stock or other shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder may bear such legend or legends as the Corporation deems appropriate in order to assure compliance with applicable securities laws, (ii) that the Corporation
may refuse to register the transfer of the Restricted Stock or other shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder on the stock transfer records of the Corporation if such proposed transfer would, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Corporation, constitute a violation of any applicable securities law and (iii) that the Corporation may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the Restricted Stock or other shares of
Common Stock issuable hereunder. 
 7. Withholding. In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or
regulations, the Corporation may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Participant, are withheld or
collected from Participant. Upon any exercise, vesting, or payment of any award, the Corporation shall have the right at its option to require the Participant (or the Participant’s personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) to
pay or provide for payment of at least the minimum amount of any taxes which the Corporation may be required to withhold with respect to such award event or payment. In any case where a tax is required to be withheld in connection with the delivery
of shares of Common Stock under this Agreement, the Administrator may in its sole discretion grant (either at the time of the award or thereafter) to the Participant the right to elect, pursuant to such rules and subject to such conditions as the
Administrator may establish, to satisfy Participant’s federal and state tax withholding obligations, by (i) delivering cash, check (bank check, certified check or personal check) or money order payable to the Corporation, (ii) having
the Corporation withhold a portion of the Restricted Stock or other Common Stock issuable hereunder having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes, (iii) delivering to the Corporation shares of Common Stock already owned by
Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such tax withholding, or (iv) allowing the Corporation to deduct from any amount otherwise payable in cash to the Participant the amount of such tax withholding. The delivery of any
shares under the preceding subsection (iii) must have been owned by and fully vested in the Participant for no less than six months prior to the date delivered to the Corporation if such shares were acquired upon the exercise of an option or
upon the vesting of restricted stock units or other restricted stock. The Corporation will not deliver any fractional shares of Common Stock but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional shares of Common Stock.
Participant’s election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined, or else the Corporation shall be entitled to elect the method in which Participant’s federal and state withholding obligations
shall be satisfied.

 8. Tax Election. The Corporation has advised Participant to seek Participant’s own tax and
financial advice with regard to the federal and state tax considerations resulting from Participant’s receipt of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement. Participant is making Participant’s own determination as to the advisability of
making a Section 83(b) election with respect to the Restricted Stock. Participant understands that the Corporation will report to appropriate taxing authorities the payment to Participant of compensation income either (i) upon the vesting
of the Restricted Stock or (ii) if Participant makes a timely Section 83(b) election, as of the Date of Grant. Participant understands that he or she is solely responsible for the payment of all federal and state taxes resulting from this
grant or vesting of Restricted Stock. Participant hereby acknowledges that an election under Section 83(b) of the Code is not available with respect to the Outperformance Shares. With respect to tax withholding amounts, the Corporation has all
of the rights specified in Section 6 of this Agreement and has no obligations to Participant except as expressly stated in Section 6 of this Agreement. 
 9. Authority of Administrator. In making any decisions or taking any actions with respect to the matters covered by this Agreement, the Administrator shall have all of the authority and discretion,
and shall be subject to all of the protections, provided for in the Plan. All decisions and actions by the Administrator with respect to this Agreement, including the satisfaction of Performance Criteria, shall be made in the Administrator’s
discretion and shall be final and binding on the Participant. 
 10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind Participant and the
Corporation and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and transferees. 
 11. No Right to Continued Employment. The
Participant acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the vesting of the Restricted Stock and the earning of the Outperformance Shares is contingent upon his or her continued employment by the Corporation, this Agreement does not
constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment or confer upon the Participant any rights with respect to continued employment by the Corporation. 
 12. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles thereunder.

 13. Conflicts and Interpretation. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, this Agreement shall control. In
the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, or any matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall govern including, without limitation, the provisions thereof pursuant to which the Administrator has the power, among others, to
(i) interpret the Plan, (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and (iii) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

 14. Amendment. The Corporation may modify, amend or waive the terms of this award, prospectively or
retroactively, but no such modification, amendment or waiver shall impair the rights of Participant without his or her consent, except as required by applicable law, NYSE or stock exchange rules, tax rules or accounting rules. Prior to the
effectiveness of any modification, amendment or waiver required by tax or accounting rules, the Corporation will provide notice to Participant and the opportunity for Participant to consult with the Corporation regarding such modification, amendment
or waiver. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this
Agreement. 
 15. Participant’s Acknowledgments. The Participant acknowledges that he or she has read this Agreement, has received
and read the Plan and the Prospectus captioned Resolute Energy Corporation 2009 Performance Incentive Plan (“Information”), and understands the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and the Information. 

16. Defined Terms. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth therefor in the Plan.
