 9 

 All Debt Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination
and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 2.03) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’ Certificate or Partnership Order referred to
above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 
 If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board
Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action, together with such Board Resolution, shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate or certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Energy Transfer Partners, L.L.C. and
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate or Partnership Order setting forth the terms of the series. 

SECTION 2.02 Denominations. 
 The Debt Securities
of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.01. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the Debt Securities of such series
denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof. 
 SECTION 2.03 Forms Generally. 

The Debt Securities of each series shall be in fully registered form and in substantially such form or forms (including temporary or permanent
global form) established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto. The Debt Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, securities exchange rule, the Partnership’s
certificate of limited partnership, agreement of limited partnership or other similar governing documents, agreements to which the Partnership is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form
acceptable to the Partnership). A copy of the Board Resolution establishing the form or forms of Debt Securities of any series shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Partnership Order contemplated by Section 2.04
for the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities. 
 The definitive Debt Securities of each series shall be printed, lithographed
or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the Officers executing such Debt Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof. 

The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form: 

“This is one of the Debt Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 

 

			
	U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee
	
	By:                                   
                                         
                    
	Authorized Signatory”.

  
 10 

 SECTION 2.04 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

Two Officers of Energy Transfer Partners, L.L.C. shall sign the Debt Securities on behalf of the Partnership and, with respect to the
Guarantees of the Debt Securities, an Officer of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall sign the Debt Securities on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer of Energy Transfer Partners, L.L.C. or any Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on a Debt Security no longer holds that
office at the time the Debt Security is authenticated, the Debt Security shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Debt Security shall not be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or the related Guarantees or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee, which signature shall be conclusive evidence that
the Debt Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Debt Security has been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Partnership, and the Partnership delivers such Debt
Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.13, together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Debt Security has
never been issued and sold by the Partnership, for all purposes of this Indenture such Debt Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or the
related Guarantees. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Partnership may deliver
Debt Securities of any series executed by the Partnership and each Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities for original issue upon a Partnership Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by Partnership Order. Such order shall specify the amount of the Debt Securities to be authenticated,
the date on which the original issue of Debt Securities is to be authenticated, the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders and any other terms of the Debt Securities of such series not otherwise determined. If provided for in such
procedures, such Partnership Order may authorize (1) authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, with certain terms (including, without limitation, the Maturity dates or dates, original
issue date or dates and interest rate or rates) that differ from Debt Security to Debt Security and (2) authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Partnership or its duly authorized agent, which
instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. 
 If the form or terms of the Debt Securities of the series have been established in
or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Section 2.01, in authenticating such Debt Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debt Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive (in addition to the Partnership Order referred to above and the other documents required by Section 11.04), and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

  
 11 

 (a) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Board Resolution and, if
applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant thereto, as contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 2.01; and 

(b) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: 

(i) the form of such Debt Securities has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(ii) the terms of such Debt Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

(iii) that, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Partnership in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, such Debt Securities and the related Guarantees will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Partnership and
the Subsidiary Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws in
effect from time to time affecting the rights of creditors generally, and the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

If all the Debt Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers’ Certificate
and Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each such Debt Security, but such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Debt Security of the series to be issued. 

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debt Securities if the issuance of such Debt Securities pursuant to this Indenture
would affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Debt Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Partnership to authenticate Debt Securities. Unless limited by the terms of
such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Debt Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same
rights as an Agent to deal with the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor. 

Each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

  
 12 

 SECTION 2.05 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Partnership shall maintain an office or agency for each series of Debt Securities where Debt Securities of such series may be presented for
registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Debt Securities of such series may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Debt Securities of such
series and of their transfer and exchange. The Partnership may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent. 
 The Partnership shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party
to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Partnership shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Partnership may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. If the Partnership fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary may act
as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Partnership initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent. 

SECTION 2.06 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Partnership shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the
benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Debt Securities and will notify the Trustee of any default by the
Partnership in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. The Partnership at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon payment over to the Trustee and upon accounting for any funds disbursed, the Paying Agent (if other than the Partnership, a Subsidiary Guarantor or a
Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Partnership, a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as
Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 317(b). 
 SECTION 2.07 Holder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar with respect to a series of Debt Securities, the Partnership shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment
Date with respect to such series of Debt Securities, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of such series,
and the Partnership shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). 

  
 13 

 SECTION 2.08 Transfer and Exchange. 

Except as set forth in Section 2.17 or as may be provided pursuant to Section 2.01: 

When Debt Securities of any series are presented to the Registrar with the request to register the transfer of such Debt Securities or to
exchange such Debt Securities for an equal principal amount of Debt Securities of the same series of like tenor and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements
and the requirements of this Indenture for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Debt Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, on which instruction the Registrar can rely. 

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Debt Securities at the Registrar’s written request and submission of the Debt Securities or Global Securities. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly
permitted herein), but the Partnership may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.07 or 9.05). The Trustee shall authenticate Debt Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Partnership
shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Debt Security selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article III, except the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any
Debt Security during the period beginning 15 Business Days prior to the mailing of notice of any offer to repurchase Debt Securities of the series required pursuant to the terms thereof or of redemption of Debt Securities of a series to be redeemed
and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing. 
 Each Holder of a Debt Security agrees to indemnify the Partnership, the
Trustee and the Subsidiary Guarantors against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Debt Securities in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/ or applicable United States Federal or
state securities law. 
 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Debt Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global
Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 SECTION 2.09 Replacement Debt Securities. 

If any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Debt Security claims that the Debt Security has been
destroyed, lost or stolen and the Partnership and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security, the Partnership shall issue, and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee

  
 14 

 shall authenticate a replacement Debt Security of the same series if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Partnership in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Debt Security, pay such Debt Security. If required by the Trustee, any
Subsidiary Guarantor or the Partnership, such Holder must furnish an indemnity bond that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Partnership to protect the Partnership, each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, any Agent or any
authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Debt Security is replaced. The Partnership and the Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Debt Security. 

Every replacement Debt Security is an additional obligation of the Partnership. 

SECTION 2.10 Outstanding Debt Securities. 
 The
Debt Securities outstanding at any time are all the Debt Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee
hereunder and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. 
 If a Debt Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09,
it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Debt Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 

If the principal amount of any Debt Security is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases
to accrue. 
 A Debt Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Partnership, a Subsidiary Guarantor or an Affiliate of the
Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor holds the Debt Security. 
 SECTION 2.11 Original Issue Discount, Foreign-Currency Denominated and Treasury Debt
Securities. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Debt Securities have concurred in any direction,
amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, (a) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security shall be the principal amount thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity
thereof pursuant to Section 6.02, (b) the principal amount of a Debt Security denominated in a foreign currency shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Partnership by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York
for cable transfers for such currency, as such rate is certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Exchange Rate”) on the date of original issuance of such Debt Security, of the principal amount (or, in the
case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Partnership by reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of original issuance of such Debt Security, of the amount determined as provided in (a) above),
of such Debt Security and (c) Debt Securities owned by the Partnership, a Subsidiary Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any Affiliate of the Partnership, of a Subsidiary Guarantor or of such 

  
 15 

 other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected in relying upon any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Debt Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 

SECTION 2.12 Temporary Debt Securities. 
 Until
definitive Debt Securities of any series are ready for delivery, the Partnership may prepare, and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Debt Securities. Temporary Debt Securities shall be substantially
in the form of definitive Debt Securities, but may have variations that the Partnership considers appropriate for temporary Debt Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Partnership shall prepare, and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Debt Securities in exchange for temporary Debt Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debt Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt
Securities. 
 SECTION 2.13 Cancellation. 
 The
Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor at any time may deliver Debt Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Debt Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment or redemption or for credit against any sinking fund payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Debt Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption, replacement or cancellation or for credit against
any sinking fund. Unless the Partnership shall direct in writing that canceled Debt Securities be returned to it, after written notice to the Partnership all canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the
usual disposal procedures of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall maintain a record of their disposal. The Partnership may not issue new Debt Securities to replace Debt Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.14 Payments; Defaulted Interest. 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.01, interest (except defaulted interest) on any Debt Security that is payable, and
is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Persons who are registered Holders of that Debt Security at the close of business on the record date next preceding such Interest Payment Date, even if such
Debt Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender a Debt Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Debt Securities
of any series, the Partnership will pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Debt Securities in Dollars. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee or any Paying Agent,
provided that at the option of the Partnership, the Partnership may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Global Securities or (2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to
any Debt Securities. 

  
 16 

 If the Partnership defaults in a payment of interest on the Debt Securities of any series, the
Partnership shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Debt Securities of such series and in Section 4.01. The Partnership may
pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. At least 15 days before any special record date selected by the Partnership, the Partnership (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the
Partnership upon 20 days’ prior written notice from the Partnership setting forth such special record date and the interest amount to be paid) shall mail to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the
amount of such interest to be paid. 
 SECTION 2.15 Persons Deemed Owners. 

The Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent may treat the Person in whose name any Debt
Security is registered as the owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to such Debt Security and for all other purposes. None of the
Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 2.16
Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Debt Securities of any series, interest on
the Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year comprising twelve 30-day months. 
 SECTION 2.17 Global Securities; Book-Entry
Provisions. 
 If Debt Securities of a series are issuable in global form as a Global Security, as contemplated by Section 2.01, then,
notwithstanding clause (11) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of Section 2.02, any such Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it
shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Debt Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Debt Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to
reflect exchanges, transfers or redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Debt Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee (i) in such
manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Debt Security or in a Partnership Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 or (ii) otherwise in accordance with written
instructions or such other written form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary for such Debt Security, from such Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in such Global Security. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.04 and, if applicable, Section 2.12, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Debt Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified in such Debt
Security or in the applicable Partnership Order. With respect to the Debt Securities of any series that are represented by a Global Security, the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors authorize the execution and delivery by the Trustee of a
letter of representations or other similar agreement or instrument in the form customarily 

  
 17 

 provided for by the Depositary appointed with respect to such Global Security. Any Global Security may be
deposited with the Depositary or its nominee, or may remain in the custody of the Trustee or the Security Custodian therefor pursuant to a FAST Balance Certificate Agreement or similar agreement between the Trustee and the Depositary. If a
Partnership Order has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Partnership with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Debt Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 11.05
and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 
 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 or the Security Custodian as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the
Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Custodian and any agent of the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Custodian as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the registered holder of a Global Security of a series may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any
action that a Holder of Debt Securities of such series is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Debt Securities of such series and (ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security
Custodian, or any agent of the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or the Security Custodian, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the
Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Debt Security. 

Notwithstanding Section 2.08, and except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.01: 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. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and
procedures of the Depositary. Debt Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if, and only if, either (1) the Depositary notifies the Partnership that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Security and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Partnership within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to such series and is continuing and the
Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue Debt Securities in lieu of all or a portion of the Global Security (in which case the Partnership shall deliver Debt Securities within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Partnership
determines not to have the Debt Securities represented by a Global Security. 
 In connection with any transfer of a portion of the
beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the
principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Partnership Order for the authentication and delivery of Debt
Securities shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Debt Securities of the same series of like tenor and amount. 

  
 18 

 In connection with the transfer of all the beneficial interests in a Global Security to
beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interests in the Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of authorized denominations. 

Neither the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to, or payments made on account of, Debt Securities by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such Debt Securities. Neither the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor nor the
Trustee shall be liable for any delay by the related Global Security Holder or the Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners, and each such Person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from such Global
Security Holder or the Depositary for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Debt Securities to be issued). Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility
for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 
 The provisions of the last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04
shall apply to any Global Security if such Global Security was never issued and sold by the Partnership and the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor delivers to the Trustee the Global Security together with written instructions (which need not
comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the cancellation or reduction in the principal amount of Debt Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the
last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.03 and 2.14, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Global Security shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. 

ARTICLE III 
 REDEMPTION 

SECTION 3.01 Applicability of Article. 
 Debt
Securities of any series that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Debt Securities of any series) in accordance
with this Article III. 
 SECTION 3.02 Notice to the Trustee. 

If the Partnership elects to redeem Debt Securities of any series pursuant to this Indenture, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption
Date and the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series to be redeemed. The Partnership shall so notify the Trustee at least 45 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) by 

  
 19 

 delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the
provisions of this Indenture and of the Debt Securities of such series. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to the mailing of such notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereupon be void and of no effect. 

SECTION 3.03 Selection of Debt Securities To Be Redeemed. 

If less than all the Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Debt Securities of such series of a specified tenor
are to be redeemed), the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Debt Securities of such series (and tenor) not previously called for
redemption, either pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and that may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of that series or of the principal amount of Global Securities
of such series. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Partnership and the Registrar in writing of the Debt Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Debt Securities shall relate, in the case of any of the Debt Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount thereof which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 3.04 Notice of Redemption. 

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, to each Holder of Debt Securities to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder appearing in the register of Debt Securities maintained by the Registrar. 

All notices of redemption shall identify the Debt Securities to be redeemed and shall state: 

(1) the Redemption Date; 

(2) the Redemption Price; 

(3) that, unless the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors default in making the redemption payment, interest on Debt
Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Debt Securities is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Debt
Securities redeemed; 

  
 20 

 (4) if any Debt Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion of the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender for cancellation of such Debt Security to the Paying Agent, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion thereof will be issued without charge to the Holder; 
 (5) that Debt Securities called for redemption must be
surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (6) that the
redemption is for a sinking or analogous fund, if such is the case; and 
 (7) the CUSIP number, if any, relating to such
Debt Securities. 
 Notice of redemption of Debt Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Partnership shall be given by the
Partnership or, at the Partnership’s written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Partnership. 
 SECTION 3.05 Effect of
Notice of Redemption. 
 Once notice of redemption is mailed, Debt Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption
Date and at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Debt Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price, but interest installments whose maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable
on the relevant Interest Payment Dates to the Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates specified pursuant to Section 2.01. 

SECTION 3.06 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 On or
prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (or, if the Partnership or such Subsidiary Guarantor is acting as the Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06) an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to, the Debt Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, other than Debt Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Partnership or a
Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 If the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor complies with the preceding paragraph,
then, unless the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors default in the payment of such Redemption Price, interest on the Debt Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Debt
Securities are presented for payment, and the Holders of such Debt Securities shall have no further rights with respect to such Debt Securities except for the right to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Debt Securities. If any Debt
Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal, premium, if any, any Additional Amounts, and, to the extent lawful, accrued interest thereon shall, until paid, bear interest from the
Redemption Date at the rate specified pursuant to Section 2.01 or provided in the Debt Securities or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such Debt Securities’ yield to maturity. 

  
 21 

 SECTION 3.07 Debt Securities Redeemed or Purchased in Part. 

Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Debt Security to be redeemed in part, the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service charge a new Debt Security or Debt Securities, of the same series and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal
amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered that is not redeemed. 
 SECTION 3.08
Purchase of Debt Securities. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor
and any Affiliate of the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor may, subject to applicable law, at any time purchase or otherwise acquire Debt Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Any such acquisition shall not operate as or be
deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the indebtedness represented by such Debt Securities. Any Debt Securities purchased or acquired by the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such delivery, the
indebtedness represented thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied. Section 2.13 shall apply to all Debt Securities so delivered. 
 SECTION 3.09
Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. 
 The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any
series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment.” Unless otherwise provided by the terms of Debt Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.10. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Debt Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of such series and by this Article III. 
 SECTION 3.10
Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Debt Securities. 
 The Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor may deliver outstanding Debt
Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and may apply as a credit Debt Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Partnership pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities or through
the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debt Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Debt Securities of such series required to be
made pursuant to the terms of such series of Debt Securities; provided that such Debt Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price
specified in such Debt Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

  
 22 

 SECTION 3.11 Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 45 days prior (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any series of
Debt Securities, the Partnership will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to
be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivery of or by crediting Debt Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.10 and will also deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee any
Debt Securities to be so delivered. Failure of the Partnership to timely deliver or cause to be delivered such Officers’ Certificate and Debt Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute
the election of the Partnership (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Debt Securities of such
series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Partnership will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section 3.11. 

If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof based on the applicable Exchange Rate on the date of original issue of the applicable Debt Securities) or a lesser
sum if the Partnership shall so request with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Debt Securities of such series at the sinking fund
redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof as aforesaid) or less and the Partnership makes no such request then it shall be carried over until
a sum in excess of $100,000 (or the Dollar equivalent thereof as aforesaid) is available. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment
date in the manner specified in Section 3.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Partnership in the manner provided in Section 3.04. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.05, 3.06 and 3.07. 
 ARTICLE IV 

COVENANTS 
 SECTION 4.01 Payment of Debt
Securities. 
 The Partnership shall pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the
Debt Securities of each series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities of such series and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, interest and any Additional Amounts shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent
(other than the Partnership, a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Subsidiary) holds on that date money deposited by the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, interest and any Additional Amounts
then due. 

  
 23 

 The Partnership shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium (if any), at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Debt Securities to the extent lawful; and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amount (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 

SECTION 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Partnership will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities an office or agency (which may be an office of the
Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent) where Debt Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange, where Debt Securities of that series may be presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon
the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Debt Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise designated by the Partnership by written notice to the Trustee and the Subsidiary Guarantors, such office
or agency shall be the office of the Trustee in The City of New York, which on the date hereof is located at One Penn Plaza, Suite 1414, New York, New York 10119, Attention: Corporate Trust Group. The Partnership will give prompt written notice to
the Trustee and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Partnership shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee and
the Subsidiary Guarantors with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

The Partnership may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Debt Securities of one or more series may
be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Partnership of its obligation to maintain an
office or agency in each Place of Payment for Debt Securities of any series for such purposes. The Partnership will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency. 
 SECTION 4.03 SEC Reports; Financial Statements. 

(a) If the Partnership is subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Partnership shall file with the
Trustee, within 15 days after it is required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations
prescribe) that the Partnership is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, but not otherwise, the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall also
comply with the provisions of TIA Section 314(a). If the Partnership is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Partnership shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it 

  
 24 

 would have been required to file with the SEC, financial statements (and with respect to annual reports, an
auditor’s report by a firm of established national reputation) and a Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both comparable to what it would have been required to file with the SEC had it
been subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. If the Partnership is required to furnish annual or quarterly reports to its equity holders pursuant to the Exchange Act, it shall file these reports with the Trustee.
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from
information contained therein, including the Partnership’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates or certificates delivered pursuant to
Section 4.04). 
 (b) If the Partnership is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the
Partnership shall furnish to all Holders of Rule 144A Securities and prospective purchasers of Rule 144A Securities designated by the Holders of Rule 144A Securities, promptly upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to
Rule 144A(d)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 
 SECTION 4.04 Compliance Certificate. 

(a) The Partnership shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a statement signed by an Officer of
Energy Transfer Partners, L.L.C., which need not constitute an Officers’ Certificate, complying with TIA Section 314(a)(4) and stating that in the course of performance by the signing Officer of his duties as such Officer of Energy
Transfer Partners, L.L.C., he would normally obtain knowledge of the keeping, observing, performing and fulfilling by the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating that to the best of
his knowledge the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors have observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such Officer may have knowledge and what action the Partnership is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto). 
 (b) The Partnership shall, so long as Debt Securities of any series are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days
after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Partnership is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

SECTION 4.05 Existence. 
 Subject to Article V,
each of the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence. 

  
 25 

 SECTION 4.06 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. 

Each of the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive it from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the
Debt Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each of the Partnership and the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 SECTION 4.07 Additional Amounts. 

If the Debt Securities of a series expressly provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Partnership will pay to the Holder of any Debt
Security of such series Additional Amounts as expressly provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Debt Security of any series
or the net proceeds received from the sale or exchange of any Debt Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section 4.07 to the extent that, in such
context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.07 and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 ARTICLE V 

SUCCESSORS 
 SECTION 5.01 Limitations on Mergers
and Consolidations. 
 The Partnership shall not, in any transaction or series of transactions, consolidate with or merge into any Person, or
sell, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless: 
 (1)
the Person formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition shall be made (collectively, the “Successor”), is either the Partnership or expressly assumes
by supplemental indenture, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to all the Debt Securities and the performance of the Partnership’s covenants and obligations
under this Indenture and the Debt Securities; 
 (2) the Successor is organized under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia; 

  
 26 

 (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of
transactions, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; and 
 (4) the
Partnership, delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the transaction and any such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture. 

SECTION 5.02 Successor Person Substituted. 
 Upon
any consolidation or merger of the Partnership, or any sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership in accordance with Section 5.01, the Successor formed by such
consolidation or merger or to which such sale, lease, conveyance, transfer or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Partnership under this Indenture and the Debt Securities
with the same effect as if such Successor had been named as the Partnership herein and the predecessor Partnership shall be released from all obligations under this Indenture and the Debt Securities, except that no such release shall occur in the
case of any lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership. 
 ARTICLE VI 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 SECTION 6.01 Events of
Default. 
 Unless either inapplicable to a particular series or specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental
indenture or Board Resolution establishing such series of Debt Securities or in the form of Debt Security for such series, an “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Debt Securities of any series, occurs if: 

(1) there is a default in the payment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Debt Security of that series
when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (2) there is a default in the
payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Debt Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, by declaration, upon required repurchase or otherwise; 

(3) there is a default in the payment of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Debt Securities of that series as and
when the same shall become due and payable; 
 (4) there is a failure on the part of the Partnership, or if any series of
Debt Securities outstanding under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by the Subsidiary Guarantors, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Partnership, or if applicable, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, in the Debt Securities of that series, in any resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of that series of Debt Securities, in this 

  
 27 

 Indenture with respect to such series or in any supplemental Indenture with respect to such
series (other than a default in the performance of a covenant which is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section 6.01), continuing for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure shall have been
given to the Partnership, or if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors, by the Trustee or to the Partnership, or if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of that series at the time outstanding; 
 (5) the Partnership, or if any series of Debt Securities outstanding
under this Indenture is entitled to the benefits of a Guarantee by the Subsidiary Guarantors, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

(A) commences a voluntary case, 

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

(C) consents to the appointment of a Bankruptcy Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or 

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that remains unstayed and in effect
for 60 days and that: 
 (A) is for relief against the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor as debtor in an involuntary
case, 
 (B) appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor or a Bankruptcy Custodian for all
or substantially all of the property of the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or 
 (C) orders the liquidation of the
Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor; 
 (7) if any series of Debt Securities outstanding under this Indenture is entitled
to the benefits of a Guarantee by the Subsidiary Guarantors, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors ceases to be in full force and effect with respect to Debt Securities of that series (except as otherwise provided in this Indenture) or is declared null
and void or is found to be invalid in a judicial proceeding or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors (if applicable) denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or such Guarantee; or 

(8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Debt Securities of that series occurs. 

The term “Bankruptcy Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 

  
 28 

 The Trustee shall not be deemed to know or have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
references the Debt Securities and this Indenture. 
 When a Default is cured, it ceases. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, if the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts
with respect to any Debt Security is payable in a currency or currencies (including a composite currency) other than Dollars and such currency or currencies are not available to the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor for making payment thereof
due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Partnership or such Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Conversion Event”), each of the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be entitled to satisfy
its obligations to Holders of the Debt Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined by the Partnership or the Subsidiary Guarantor making such
payment, as the case may be, by reference to the Exchange Rate on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.01, any payment made under such circumstances in Dollars where the required payment is in a currency other than Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture. 

Promptly after the occurrence of a Conversion Event, the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall give written notice thereof to the
Trustee; and the Trustee, promptly after receipt of such notice, shall give notice thereof in the manner provided in Section 11.02 to the Holders. Promptly after the making of any payment in Dollars as a result of a Conversion Event, the
Partnership or the Subsidiary Guarantor making such payment, as the case may be, shall give notice in the manner provided in Section 11.02 to the Holders, setting forth the applicable Exchange Rate and describing the calculation of such
payments. 
 A Default under clause (4) of this Section 6.01 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the
Partnership, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of the series affected by such Default notify the Partnership and the Trustee, of the Default, and the Partnership or the applicable Subsidiary
Guarantor, as the case may be, fails to cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” 

SECTION 6.02 Acceleration. 
 If an Event of
Default with respect to any Debt Securities of any series at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Partnership, or
the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of the series affected by such Event of Default (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (4) of Section 6.01, if outstanding Debt
Securities of other series are affected by such Event of Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities so affected) by notice to the 

  
 29 

 Partnership and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of
(or, if any such Debt Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series), premium, if any, on and all accrued and unpaid interest on all then outstanding Debt
Securities of such series or of all series, as the case may be, to be due and payable. Upon any such declaration, the amounts due and payable on the Debt Securities shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause
(5) or (6) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, such amounts shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of the series affected by such Event of Default by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences (other than nonpayment of principal of or premium or interest
on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Debt Securities) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and if all existing Events of Default with respect to Debt Securities of that
series have been cured or waived, except nonpayment of principal, premium, interest or any Additional Amounts that has become due solely because of the acceleration. 

SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Debt Securities or
this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Debt Securities or does not produce any of
them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All
remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Defaults. 

Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series or of
all series (acting as one class) by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to such series and its consequences (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for
Debt Securities of such series or all series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Debt Securities of such series or all series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Debt Securities
of such series or all series (but the terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)), except (1) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Debt Security or (2) a continued Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each Holder affected. Upon any such waiver, such
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

 SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority. 

With respect to Debt Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of such
series may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to Debt Securities of such series. However, the Trustee may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that
the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion from
Holders directing the Trustee against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 
 SECTION 6.06 Limitations on Suits. 

Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, a Holder of a Debt Security of any series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Debt
Securities of such series only if: 
 (1) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event
of Default with respect to such series; 
 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt
Securities of such series have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders have
offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any cost, liability or expense; 
 (4) the
Trustee has not complied with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and 

(5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series have not
given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder may not use this Indenture
to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
 SECTION 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Debt Security to receive payment of principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Debt Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Debt Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 

  
 31 

 SECTION 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 

If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized
to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor for the amount of principal, premium (if any), interest and any Additional Amounts remaining unpaid on the Debt Securities of
the series affected by the Event of Default, and interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.09 Trustee May
File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such actions,
including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any committee of creditors, as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor or their respective creditors or properties and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and
distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any Bankruptcy Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the
estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties which the Holders of the Debt
Securities may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept
or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debt Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any
such proceeding. 
 SECTION 6.10 Priorities. 

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Debt Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money
has been collected, for principal, premium (if any), interest and any Additional Amounts ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Debt Securities for principal, premium (if any), interest
and any Additional Amounts, respectively; and 

  
 32 

 Third: to the Partnership. 

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Partnership, may fix record dates and payment dates for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Article VI. 
 To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the purpose of obtaining a judgment against the Partnership or a
Subsidiary Guarantor in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to the Debt Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into
a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required
Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business Day in The City of New York next preceding that on which final judgment is given. Neither the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any shortfall nor shall it
benefit from any windfall in payments to Holders of Debt Securities under this Section 6.10 caused by a change in exchange rates between the time the amount of a judgment against it is calculated as above and the time the Trustee converts the
Judgment Currency into the Required Currency to make payments under this Section 6.10 to Holders of Debt Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all amounts owed by the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the claim or
claims underlying such judgment. 
 SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted
by it as a trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to
Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series. 

ARTICLE VII 
 TRUSTEE 

SECTION 7.01 Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in such exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the

Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult at the Partnership’s expense with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and

(h) The Trustee may request that the Partnership deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of
officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in
any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities and may make loans to, accept deposits
from, perform services for and otherwise deal with the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.
However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

  
 35 

 SECTION 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Debt Securities, it shall not be accountable for
the Partnership’s use of the proceeds from the Debt Securities or any money paid to the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor or upon the Partnership’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s direction under any provision hereof, it shall
not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Debt Securities other than its certificate of
authentication. 
 SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of any series occurs and is continuing and it is known to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall mail to Holders of Debt Securities of such series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest
on and Additional Amounts or any sinking fund installment with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is in the interests of Holders of Debt Securities of such series. 
 SECTION 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

Within 60 days after each September 15 of each year after the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of a series,
the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Partnership a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a); provided, however, that if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months
preceding the reporting date with respect to a series, no report need be transmitted to Holders of such series. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports if and as required by TIA
Sections 313(c) and 313(d). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of a series of Debt Securities shall be filed by
the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Debt Securities of such series are listed. The Partnership shall notify the Trustee if and when any series of Debt Securities is listed on any
securities exchange. 
 SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Partnership agrees to pay to the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder such compensation as the Partnership
and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Partnership agrees to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

The Partnership hereby indemnifies the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense,
including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, except as set forth in
the next following paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Partnership and 

  
 36 

 the Subsidiary Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Partnership shall defend the
claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Partnership shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Partnership need not pay for any settlement made without its consent.

 The Partnership shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee
through the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Partnership in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Debt Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to particular
Debt Securities of any series. Such lien and the Partnership’s obligations under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) occurs, the
expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 SECTION 7.08 Replacement
of Trustee. 
 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. 
 The Trustee may resign and be discharged at any time with
respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series by so notifying the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee, the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Partnership may remove the Trustee if: 

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (3) a Bankruptcy Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to the Debt Securities of
one or more series, the Partnership shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Debt
Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series). Within one year after the successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of
any series takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Partnership. 

  
 37 

 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series does not take office
within 30 days after the retiring or removed Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring or removed Trustee (at the expense of the Partnership), the Partnership, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Debt Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 

If the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of a series fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Debt Securities of such
series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 

In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to all Debt Securities, each such successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee, to the Partnership and to the Subsidiary Guarantors. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject
to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 
 In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of
one or more (but not all) series, the Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental
hereto in which each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (1) shall confer to each successor Trustee all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Debt Securities, shall confirm that all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for
or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee. Nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, and each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or
trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective
to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates. On request of the Partnership or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall transfer to such successor Trustee all property held by such retiring Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 

  
 38 

 Such retiring Trustee shall, however, have the right to deduct its unpaid fees and expenses, including
attorneys’ fees. 
 Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees pursuant to this Section 7.08, the obligations of the
Partnership under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Trustees. 
 SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

 Subject to Section 7.10, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate
trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that in the case of a transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to another
corporation, the transferee corporation expressly assumes all of the Trustee’s liabilities hereunder. 
 In case any Debt Securities
shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debt Securities so authenticated; and
in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and
in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. 

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, shall be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state (or the District of Columbia) authority and
shall have, or be a subsidiary of a bank or bank holding company having, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 

The Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee is
subject to and shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) during the period of time required by this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the application referred to in the
penultimate paragraph of TIA Section 310(b). 
 SECTION 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor. 

The Trustee is subject to and shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 

  
 39 

 ARTICLE VIII 

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 8.01
Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this Article VIII relating to either the satisfaction and discharge or the defeasance of Debt
Securities shall be applicable to each series of Debt Securities except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01 for Debt Securities of such series. 

SECTION 8.02 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance. 

(a) If at any time the Partnership shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore
authenticated and delivered (other than any Debt Securities of such series that shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and Debt Securities for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Partnership as provided in Section 8.05) or all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are
by their terms to become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Partnership shall
deposit with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount in the currency in which such Debt Securities are denominated (except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.01) sufficient to pay at Stated Maturity or upon redemption all Debt
Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest due or to become due on such date of Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, and if in either
case the Partnership shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums then due and payable hereunder by the Partnership with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the
Debt Securities of such series, and the Trustee, on demand of the Partnership accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Partnership, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. 
 (b) Subject to Sections 8.02(c), 8.03
and 8.07, the Partnership at any time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series, all its obligations under the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series
(“legal defeasance option”) or the operation of (x) any covenant made applicable to such Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, (y) Sections 6.01(4), (7) and (8) (except to the extent covenants or agreements
referenced in Section 6.01(4) remain applicable) and (z) as they relate to the Subsidiary Guarantors only, Sections 6.01(5) and (6) (“covenant defeasance option”). If the Partnership exercises either its legal defeasance
option or its covenant defeasance obligation, each Guarantee will terminate with respect to that series of Debt Securities and be automatically released and discharged and any security that may have been granted in respect of such series shall be
automatically released. The Partnership may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. 

  
 40 

 If the Partnership exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the
defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Partnership exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified
in Sections 6.01(4), (7) and (8) and, with respect to the Guarantors only, Sections 6.01(5) and (6) (except to the extent covenants or agreements referenced in Section 6.01(4) remain applicable). 

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Partnership, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the
discharge of those obligations that the Partnership terminates. 
 (c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the
Partnership’s obligations in Sections 2.05, 2.08, 2.09, 4.02, 4.07, 7.07, 8.05, 8.06 and 8.07 shall survive until the Debt Securities of the defeased series have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Partnership’s obligations in Sections
7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive. 
 SECTION 8.03 Conditions of Defeasance. 

The Partnership may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to Debt Securities of a particular
series only if: 
 (a) the Partnership irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination
thereof for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of such series to Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(b) the Partnership delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion
that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay
the principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Debt Securities of such series to Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 

(c) 91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect
to the Partnership occurs which is continuing at the end of the period; 
 (d) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such
deposit and after giving effect thereto; 
 (e) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the
Partnership; 
 (f) the Partnership delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit
does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 

  
 41 

 (g) in the event of the legal defeasance option, the Partnership shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Partnership has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; 

(h) in the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Partnership shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders of Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and 
 (i) the Partnership delivers to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Debt Securities of such series as contemplated by this Article VIII have been complied with.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES AND AMENDMENTS 
 SECTION

omission, defect or inconsistency;

the issuance of bearer Debt Securities (with or without coupons); 
 (4) to provide for the addition of any Subsidiary as a
Subsidiary Guarantor, or to reflect the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor, in either case as provided in this Indenture; 

(5) to provide any security for any series of Debt Securities or the related Guarantees; 

(6) to comply with any requirement in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; 

(7) to add to the covenants of the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series
of Debt Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series), or to surrender any right or power
herein conferred upon the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor; 

  
 43 

 (8) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of
the Debt Securities (and, if any Event of Default is applicable to less than all series of Debt Securities, specifying the series to which such Event of Default is applicable); 

(9) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture; provided that any such change or elimination shall become
effective only when there is no outstanding Debt Security of any series created prior to the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture that is adversely affected by such change in or elimination of such provision; 

(10) to establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Section 2.01; 

(11) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the
defeasance and discharge of any series of Debt Securities pursuant to Article VIII; provided, however, that any such action shall not adversely affect the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series or any other series of Debt Securities
in any material respect; or 
 (12) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee,
pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.08. 
 Upon the request of the Partnership, accompanied by a Board Resolution, and upon
receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted
by the terms of this Indenture and make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained. 
 SECTION 9.02 With Consent of
Holders. 
 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture with the written consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Debt Securities of any one or more series or all series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Debt
Securities of any one or more series or all series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Debt Securities of each such series (but the terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from
series to series)) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such amendment or supplement. 

Upon the request of the Partnership, accompanied by a Board Resolution, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the
Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or
supplemental indenture. 

  
 44 

 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of one or more series or of all series may waive
compliance in a particular instance by the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of such series (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
for Debt Securities of such series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Debt Securities of such series, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of then outstanding Debt Securities of such series (but the
terms of such offer or solicitation may vary from series to series)). 
 However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not: 
 (1) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt
Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for
payment of interest, including default interest, on any Debt Security; 
 (3) reduce the principal of, any premium on or any
mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to, or change the Stated Maturity of, any Debt Security or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the
Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02; 
 (4) reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Debt
Security or change the time at which any Debt Security may or shall be redeemed; 
 (5) change any obligation of the
Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any Debt Security; 
 (6) change the coin
or currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in which any Debt Security or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts with respect thereto are payable; 

(7) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to such Holder’s Debt Securities or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to such Holder’s Debt Securities pursuant
to Sections 6.07 and 6.08, except as limited by Section 6.06; 

  
 45 

 (8) make any change in the percentage of principal amount of Debt Securities
necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture pursuant to Section 6.04 or 6.07 or make any change in this sentence of Section 9.02; 

(9) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on or
Additional Amounts with respect to the Debt Securities; 
 (10) release any security that may have been granted in respect of
any Debt Securities other than in accordance with this Indenture; or 
 (11) release the Guarantee of any Subsidiary
Guarantor other than in accordance with this Indenture or modify the Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders. 
 A supplemental
indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt
Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series. 

The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of this Indenture (and the obligation of
the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of any Debt Securities with respect to which such
consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Partnership or such Subsidiary Guarantor in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Partnership shall mail to the Holders of each
Debt Security affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Partnership to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Debt Securities shall comply in form and substance with the TIA as then in effect. 

SECTION 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Debt Security or portion of a Debt Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Debt Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Debt Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent
Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her Debt Security or portion of a Debt Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before a date and time 

  
 46 

 
therefor identified by the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor in a notice furnished to such Holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or, if no such date and time shall be
identified, the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 

The Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date (which need not comply with TIA
Section 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver or to take any other action under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously
given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Debt Securities required
hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period. 
 After an
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (1) through (10) of Section 9.02 hereof. In such case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind
each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Debt Security. 
 SECTION 9.05
Notation on or Exchange of Debt Securities. 
 If an amendment or supplement changes the terms of an outstanding Debt Security, the
Partnership may require the Holder of the Debt Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Debt Security at the request of the Partnership regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder.
Alternatively, if the Partnership so determines, the Partnership in exchange for the Debt Security shall issue, and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new Debt Security that reflects the changed terms.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Debt Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement. 

Debt Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment or supplement may, and shall if required by the
Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such amendment or supplement. 
 SECTION 9.06 Trustee to Sign
Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement
does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive
indemnity satisfactory to it, and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel provided at the expense of the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor as
conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with its
terms. 

  
 47 

 ARTICLE X 

GUARANTEE 
 SECTION 10.01 Guarantee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article X to the contrary, the provisions of this Article X relating to the Subsidiary Guarantors
shall be applicable only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Debt Securities of any series designated, pursuant to Section 2.01, as entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

(b) For value received, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (the “Guarantee”)
to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Debt Securities by the Partnership, when
and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Debt Securities and this Indenture,
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.03. 
 (c) Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the
Guarantee, for whatever reason, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, senior obligation of each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its
obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee (including the Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor) or this Indenture, the absence of
any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Debt Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any action to enforce
the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject
to Section 6.06, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against such Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Partnership or any other Subsidiary Guarantor.

  
 48 

 (d) The obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Article X shall be as
aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension,
indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors contained in the Debt Securities or this Indenture, (ii) any impairment, modification, release or
limitation of the liability of the Partnership, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable
Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (iii) the assertion or exercise by the Partnership, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Debt Securities or this
Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Debt Securities, including all or any part of the rights of the
Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, (v) the extension of the time for payment by the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any
of the terms and provisions of the Debt Securities or this Indenture or of the time for performance by the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the
extension or the renewal of any thereof, (vi) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors set forth in this Indenture, (vii) the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee or
this Indenture in any such proceeding, (viii) the release or discharge of the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments
by operation of law, (ix) the unenforceability of the Debt Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture or (x) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee) which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. 
 (e) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
(i) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever, (ii) acknowledges
that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without notice to
it and (iii) covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any
Person to the Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Guarantee shall, to the
extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such
application had not been made. 

  
 49 

 (f) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the
Trustee against the Partnership in respect of any amounts paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, provided, however, that such Subsidiary Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments
arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Debt Securities and the Guarantee shall have been paid in full or discharged. 

SECTION 10.02 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. 

To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation relating to
such Guarantee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, shall be endorsed on each Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature
of an Officer of each Subsidiary Guarantor. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Debt Security a
notation relating to the Guarantee. If any Officer of any Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Debt Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Debt Security or at any time thereafter,
the Guarantee of such Debt Security shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Debt Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of
the Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture upon the terms and conditions herein set forth. 

SECTION 10.03 Limitation on Liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee hereby confirm
that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Holders of a Debt Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount
as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. 

SECTION 10.04 Release of Subsidiary Guarantors from Guarantee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 10.04. Provided that no Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Indenture, any Guarantee incurred by a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant 

  
 50 

 
to this Article X shall be unconditionally released and discharged automatically upon (i) any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise, to any Person that is not an
Affiliate of the Partnership, of all of the Partnership’s direct or indirect equity interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor (provided such sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture) or (ii) the merger of such Subsidiary
Guarantor into the Partnership or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the liquidation and dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture). 

(b) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guarantee upon receipt of a
written request of the Partnership accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that the Subsidiary Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Any Subsidiary Guarantor not so
released remains liable for the full amount of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Debt Securities entitled to the benefits of such Guarantee as provided in this Indenture, subject to the limitations of Section 10.03.

 SECTION 10.05 Contribution. 
 In order to
provide for just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under
its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor (as applicable) in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all
payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Partnership’s obligations with respect to the Debt Securities or any other Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations with respect to its Guarantee.

2.Registration Rights.  The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

2.1.Demand Registration.

(a)Demand.  If at any time after the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months after approval of the Company’s anemia product in the People’s Republic of China by the State Food and Drug Administration or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the Registration Statement for the IPO, the Company receives a request from Holders of fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Registration Statement with respect to at least forty percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (or a lesser percent if the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, would exceed USD$10 million), then the Company shall (i) within thirty (30) days after the date such request is given, give notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.1(d) and Subsection 2.3. 

(b)Form S-3 Demand.  If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 Registration Statement in the United States, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-3 Registration Statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least USD$5 million, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsection 2.1(d) and Subsection 2.3.

(c)Deferred Registration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1, a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such Registration Statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

(d)Limitations on Registration; Effectiveness.  The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a): (i) during the period that is ninety (90) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration; (ii) after the Company has effected one registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a); or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b).  The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration; 

	
Shareholders’ Agreement

Confidential

 

 

or (ii) if the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) within the eighteen (18) month period immediately preceding the date of such request.  A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d) until such time as the applicable Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand Registration Statement pursuant to Subsection 2.6, in which case such withdrawn Registration Statement shall be counted as “effected” for purposes of this Subsection 2.1(d).  

2.2.Company Registration.  If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its Common Shares under the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws outside the United States) in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration.  Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration.  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Subsection 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.  The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.6.  The rights of the Holders set forth in this Subsection 2.2 shall not apply to an IPO.

2.3.Underwriting Requirements.  

(a)If, pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a), the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Subsection 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice.  The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders.  In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Subsection 2.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting.  Notwithstanding any other provision of Subsection 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.  To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares. 

(b)In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s Capital Shares pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company.  If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by Company shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the

underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering.  If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder.  To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.  For purposes of the provision in this Subsection 2.3(b) concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

2.4.Obligations of the Company.  Whenever required under Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 

(a)prepare and file with the applicable governmental authority a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Shares (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for up to 180 days, if necessary, to keep the Registration Statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

(b)prepare and file with the applicable governmental authority such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws outside the United States) in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement;

(c)furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws outside the United States), and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;

(d)use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws outside the United States);

(e)in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

(f)use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system;

(g)provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP (or equivalent) number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(h)notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed; and

(i)after such Registration Statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the applicable governmental authority that the Company amend or supplement such Registration Statement or prospectus. 

2.5.Furnish Information.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

2.6.Expenses of Registration.  All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements, not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000), of one counsel for the selling Holders (“Selling Holder Counsel”), shall be borne and paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Subsection 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a).  All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf. 

2.7.Delay of Registration.  No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of Section 2.

2.8.“Market Stand‐off” Agreement.  Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company of Common Shares or any other equity securities under a Registration Statement, and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of the IPO, or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule

A transferring Holder will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Capital Shares held by such Holder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement (any such Capital Shares transferred or proposed to be transferred, the “Transfer Shares”). Any successor or permitted assignee of any Holder, including any Prospective Transferee who purchases Transfer Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, shall deliver to the Company, as a condition to any transfer or assignment, a counterpart signature page hereto pursuant to which such successor or permitted assignee shall confirm their agreement to be subject to and bound by all of the provisions set forth in this Agreement that were applicable to the predecessor or assignor of such successor or permitted assignee.

(b)Each certificate or instrument, if any, representing (i) Capital Shares and any other securities issued in respect thereof upon any share division, subdivision, share dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Subsection 3.1(c)) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER ANY SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.  SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SHAREHOLDERS, A COPY OF WHICH IS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY, AND WHICH INCLUDES, AMONG OTHER PROVISIONS, A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY ON ALL TRANSFERS OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in Subsection 3.1.

(c)Each Holder of Restricted Securities, whether or not represented by a certificate or other instrument, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 3.  Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a Registration Statement covering the proposed transaction, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer in accordance with Subsection 3.2(b).  Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under applicable securities laws; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC (or equivalent governmental authority) to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC (or equivalent governmental authority) that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under applicable securities laws, whereupon, subject to compliance with the terms of Section 3, including, without limitation, Section 3.2, the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company.  Each certificate or instrument evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Subsection 3.1(b), except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of applicable securities laws.

3.2.Right of First Refusal.

(a)Grant.  Subject to the terms of Section 3.2(e) below, each Holder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a Right of First Refusal to purchase all or any portion of any Transfer Shares that such Holder may propose to transfer in a Proposed Holder Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the Prospective Transferee.  The Right of First Refusal herby granted to the Company shall be assignable, in whole or in party, by the Company to any Person, in the Company’s sole discretion.

(b)Notice.  Each Holder proposing to make a Proposed Holder Transfer must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice to the Company not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the consummation of such Proposed Holder Transfer.  Such Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions (including price and form of consideration) of the Proposed Holder Transfer and the identity of the Prospective Transferee.  To exercise its Right of First Refusal under Section 3.2, the Company must deliver a Company Notice to the selling Holder within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.  

(c)Forfeiture of Rights.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total number of Transfer Shares that the Company has agreed to purchase in the Company Notice is less than the total number of Transfer Shares proposed to be transferred, then the Company shall be deemed to have forfeited any right to purchase such remaining Transfer Shares, and the selling Holder shall be free to sell such Transfer Shares not purchased by the Company to the Prospective Transferee on terms and conditions substantially similar to (and in no event more favorable to the Prospective Transferee than) the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice, it being understood and agreed that (i) any such sale or transfer shall be subject to the other terms and restrictions of this Agreement; (ii) any future Proposed Holder Transfer shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including  Section 3; and (iii) such sale shall be consummated within seventy-five (75) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company and, if such sale is not consummated within such seventy-five (75) day period, such sale shall again become subject to the Right of First Refusal on the terms set forth herein.

(d)Consideration; Closing.  If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer Shares is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the fair market value of the consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Company and as set forth in the Company Notice.  If the Company cannot for any reason pay for the Transfer Shares in the same form of non-cash consideration, the Company may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company and as set forth in the Company Notice.  The closing of the purchase of Transfer Shares by the Company shall take place, and all payments from the Company shall have been delivered to the selling Holder, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Holder Transfer and (ii) thirty (30) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.

(e)Violation of First Refusal Right.  If any Holder becomes obligated to sell any Transfer Shares to the Company under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Transfer Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Holder the purchase price for such Transfer Shares as is herein specified and thereby purchase such Transfer Shares and cancel such shares in accordance with the Restated Articles.

(g)Termination of Right of First Refusal.  The Right of First Refusal set forth in Section 3 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

i.the effectiveness of a public offering by the Company; and

ii.the sale or other transfer in a transaction or series of transactions, other than to an Affiliate, of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Capital Shares of the Company held by FibroGen International (Cayman) Limited as of the final Closing of the Series A Preference shares.

3.3.Prohibited Transferees.  No Holder shall transfer any Transfer Shares to (a) any Person which, in the determination of the Company is a Competitor, or (b) any customer, distributor or supplier of the Company, if the Company should determine that such transfer would result in such customer, distributor or supplier receiving information that would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage with respect to such customer, distributor or supplier.

3.4.Transfer Void.  Any Proposed Holder Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company.

4.2.Actions to be Taken.  In the event that (a) holders representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the Common Shares (i) then issued and outstanding and (ii) issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preference Shares, voting together as a single class, and (b) holders representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Preference Shares then issued and outstanding voting as a separate class (collectively, the “Selling Holders”), approve a Sale of the Company in writing, specifying that Section 4 shall apply to such transaction, then each Holder and the Company hereby agrees:

(f)if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Capital Shares pursuant to Section 4 includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Holder would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (y) the provision to any Holder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Holder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Capital Shares which would have otherwise been sold by such Holder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such Holder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Capital Shares; and
