WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Fourth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Trustee, in accordance with its terms, and a valid amendment of, and supplement to, the Base Indenture have been done;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the purchase and acceptance of the Notes by the Holders thereof, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders, that the Base Indenture is supplemented and amended, to the extent expressed herein, as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.1    Generally.
(a)    Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Base Indenture.
(b)    The rules of interpretation set forth in the Base Indenture shall be applied hereto as if set forth in full herein.
SECTION 1.2    Definition of Certain Terms.
For all purposes of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
“Attributable Debt” means, when used in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction, at any date of determination, the product of (1) the net proceeds from such sale and leaseback transaction multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full years of the term of the lease relating to the property involved in such sale and leaseback transaction (without regard to any options to renew or extend

such term) remaining at the date of the making of such computation and the denominator of which is the number of full years of the term of such lease measured from the first day of such term.
“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that in calculating the beneficial ownership of any particular “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such “person” will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such “person” has the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition.  The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have a corresponding meaning.
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(1)    the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than a Principal or a Related Party of a Principal;
(2)    the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company;
(3)    the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as defined above) other than a Principal and its Related Parties, becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; 
(4)    the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person (other than a Principal or a Related Party of a Principal), or any Person (other than a Principal or a Related Party of a Principal) consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or

-2-

to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the applicable series of Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such applicable series of Notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

SECTION 2.8    Trustee's Right to Refuse Directions in Certain Circumstances.
With respect to directions given by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of a series of Notes pursuant to the Indenture to the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power, the Trustee 

-6-

will be entitled to refuse to follow any such direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of such Notes not joining in the giving of such direction or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it.
ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION
SECTION 3.1    Redemption. 
(a)    Except as provided in this Article III and in Article IV below, the Company shall have no obligation to redeem, purchase or repay the Notes pursuant to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof.
(b)    The Notes of each series are subject to redemption at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, at the Company's option.  If the Redemption Date is prior to January 15, 2018 with respect to the 2018 Notes or prior to January 15, 2020 with respect to the 2020 Notes, the Notes of such series may be redeemed by the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealer, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 12.5 basis points with respect to the 2018 Notes and at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points with respect to the 2020 Notes.  If the Redemption Date is on or after January 15, 2018 with respect to the 2018 Notes or on or after January 15, 2020 with respect to the 2020 Notes, the Notes of such series may be redeemed by the Company at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.  In each case, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Redemption Date.  The Company may provide in such notice that payment of such Redemption Price and performance of the Company's obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person.  Any such notice may, at the Company's discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.
SECTION 3.2    Redemption Procedures. 
The Trustee will select Notes of a series called for redemption in part on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to procedures of the Depository); provided that the principal amount of any Note of the applicable series remaining outstanding after redemption in part shall be $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  In the case of Notes represented by Physical Securities, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.  In the case of Notes represented by a Global Security, the outstanding principal amount of the Global Security representing the Notes will be reduced by book-entry.  Notes called for redemption become due on the Redemption Date.  On and after the Redemption Date, interest stops accruing on Notes of the applicable series or any portions of the Notes of such series called for redemption (unless there is a default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest).  On or before the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date.

-7-

SECTION 3.3    Notice of Redemption.  
(a)    At the Company's written request made at least 15 days prior to the date on which notice of redemption is to be given (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's sole expense.
(b)    Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
(c)    Any notice to Holders of Notes of any redemption will include the appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but does not need to include the Redemption Price itself.  The actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, will be set forth in an Officers' Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date 
ARTICLE IV

SECTION 4.1    Change of Control.
(a)    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all Notes of a series have been called for redemption, each Holder of Notes of such series shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder's Notes at an offer price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
(b)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or at the Company's option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and specifying:
(i)    that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.1 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;
(ii)    the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
(iii)    the CUSIP numbers for the Notes;
(iv)    that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;
(v)    that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

-8-

(vi)    that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;
(vii)    that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election referred to in clause (vi) if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; 
(viii)    that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes of the same series equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion will be equal to $2,000 in principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and
(ix)    that, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Company shall comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event.  To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.1, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.1 by virtue of any such conflict.
(d)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
(i)    accept or cause a third party to accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
AIRGAS, INC.
1.650% NOTE DUE 2018
1.    Interest.  AIRGAS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as issuer (the “Company”), promises to pay, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, interest on the principal amount set forth on the face hereof at a rate of 1.650% per annum.  Interest hereon will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including February 14, 2013 to but excluding the date on which interest is paid.  Interest shall be payable in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing August 15, 2013.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue interest (to the full extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the 2018 Notes.
2.    Method of Payment.  The Company will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day).  Holders do not have to surrender 2018 Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Company will pay to the Paying Agent principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay, or cause to be paid by the Paying Agent, all principal and interest on that Holder's 2018 Notes in accordance with those instructions.  All other payments on the 2018 Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders. 
3.    Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as a Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
4.    Indenture. This 2018 Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof. This 2018 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of May 27, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 14, 2013, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).  This is one of an issue of 2018 Notes of the Company issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture.  The terms of the 2018 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time (the “Trust Indenture Act”).  The 2018 Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of them.  Capitalized and certain other terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
5.    Optional Redemption.  The 2018 Notes are subject to redemption at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, at the Company's option.  If the Redemption Date is prior to January 15, 2018, the 2018 Notes may be redeemed by the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) as determined by the Reference 

Exhibit A-1-4

Treasury Dealer, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the 2018 Notes to be redeemed discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 12.5 basis points.  If the Redemption Date is on or after January 15, 2018, the 2018 Notes may be redeemed by the Company at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes to be redeemed.  In each case, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Redemption Date.  The Company may provide in such notice that payment of such Redemption Price and performance of the Company's obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person.  Any such notice may, at the Company's discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.
Any notice to Holders of 2018 Notes of a redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof will include the appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but does not need to include the Redemption Price itself.  The actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, will be set forth in an Officers' Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. 
6.    Redemption Procedures.  The Trustee will select 2018 Notes called for redemption in part pursuant to paragraph 5 on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to procedures of the Depository); provided that the principal amount of any 2018 Note remaining outstanding after redemption in part shall be $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A new 2018 Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original 2018 Note, or in the case of 2018 Notes represented by a Global Security, the outstanding principal amount of such Global Security will be reduced by book-entry.  2018 Notes called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 hereto become due on the Redemption Date.  On and after the Redemption Date, interest stops accruing on 2018 Notes or portions of them called for redemption (unless there is a default in the payment thereof).
7.    Notice of Redemption.  Notices of redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of 2018 Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  If any 2018 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such 2018 Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
8.    Change of Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless all 2018 Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of this 2018 Note, each Holder of 2018 Notes of this series shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such 2018 Notes at an offer price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment.  The Change of Control Offer will be made in accordance with the terms specified in the Indenture.
9.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The 2018 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder may transfer or exchange 2018 Notes in accordance with the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay to it any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. 
10.    Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of this 2018 Note may be treated as the owner of this 2018 Note for all purposes.

Exhibit A-1-5

11.    Unclaimed Money.  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its written request.  After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.
12.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc.  The Company and the Trustee (if a party thereto) may, without the consent of the Holders of any outstanding 2018 Notes, amend, waive or supplement the Indenture or the 2018 Notes for certain specified purposes, including, among other things, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, maintaining the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, providing for the assumption by a successor to the Company of its obligations under the Indenture and making any change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder.  Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the 2018 Notes may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of the Holders of the particular 2018 Notes to be affected.
13.    Successor Corporation.  When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the 2018 Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Base Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article Five of the Base Indenture, be released from those obligations.
14.    Defaults and Remedies.  Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) of the Base Indenture) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare due and payable, if not already due and payable, the principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the 2018 Notes; and upon any such declaration all such amounts upon such 2018 Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Indenture or in the 2018 Notes to the contrary notwithstanding.  If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) of the Base Indenture occurs, then the principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the 2018 Notes shall immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the 2018 Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 2018 Notes.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2018 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power, provided, that the Trustee will be entitled to refuse to follow any such direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the 2018 Notes or a default in the observance or performance of any of the obligations of the Company under Article Five of the Base Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
15.    Trustee Dealings with Company.  Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
16.    No Recourse Against Others.  No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, member or stockholder or Affiliate of the Company, as such, shall have any liability 

Exhibit A-1-6

for any obligations of the Company under the 2018 Notes, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of 2018 Notes by accepting a 2018 Note waives and releases all such liabilities.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the 2018 Notes.
17.    Discharge.  The Company's obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the 2018 Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of United States dollars or Government Obligations sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the 2018 Notes to maturity or redemption.
18.    Authentication.  This 2018 Note shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

The Company will pay interest hereon (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day).  Holders do not have to surrender 2020 Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Company will pay to the Paying Agent principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay, or cause to be paid by the Paying Agent, all principal and interest on that Holder's 2020 Notes in accordance with those instructions.  All other payments on the 2020 Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders. 
3.    Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as a Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
4.    Indenture. This 2020 Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof. This 2020 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of May 27, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 14, 2013, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).  This is one of an issue of 2020 Notes of the Company issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture.  The terms of the 2020 Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb), as amended from time to time (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

If the Redemption Date is on or after January 15, 2020, the 2020 Notes may be redeemed by the Company at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be redeemed.  In each case, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Redemption Date.  The Company may provide in such notice that payment of such Redemption Price and performance of the Company's obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person.  Any such notice may, at the Company's discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.
Any notice to Holders of 2020 Notes of a redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof will include the appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but does not need to include the Redemption Price itself.

13.    Successor Corporation.  When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the 2020 Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article Five of the Base Indenture, the predecessor corporation will, except as provided in Article Five of the Base Indenture, be released from those obligations.
14.    Defaults and Remedies.  Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) of the Base Indenture) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare due and payable, if not already due and payable, the principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the 2020 Notes; and upon any such declaration all such amounts upon such 2020 Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Indenture or in the 2020 Notes to the contrary notwithstanding.  If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) of the Base Indenture occurs, then the principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the 2020 Notes shall immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the 2020 Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 2020 Notes.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2020 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power, provided, that the Trustee will be entitled to refuse to follow any such direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the 2020 Notes or a default in the observance or performance of any of the obligations of the Company under Article Five of the Base Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interests.
15.    Trustee Dealings with Company.  Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

for any obligations of the Company under the 2020 Notes, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of 2020 Notes by accepting a 2020 Note waives and releases all such liabilities.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the 2020 Notes.
17.    Discharge.  The Company's obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment of all the 2020 Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of United States dollars or Government Obligations sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the 2020 Notes to maturity or redemption.

a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’
rights generally or the rights of creditors of banks and to the general principles of equity (whether such enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law);

(iii)          
No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the acquisition or origination, as applicable, of the Mortgage
Loans by the Seller, the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the fulfillment
of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this

    	-4-

    	 	 

    

Agreement, will not conflict with or result
in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Seller’s organizational documents and bylaws or any legal
restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Seller is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default
or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment
or decree to which the Seller or its property is subject, or impair the ability of the Purchaser to realize on the Mortgage Loans;

Ability to Perform. The Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform
each and every covenant contained in this Agreement;

No Material Default. Neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates is in material default under any agreement, contract,
instrument or indenture of any nature whatsoever to which the Seller or any of its Affiliates is a party or by which it (or any
of its assets) is bound, which default would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Seller to perform under this
Agreement, nor, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, has any event occurred which, with notice, lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default under any such agreement, contract, instrument or indenture and have a material adverse effect on the
ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(vi)         
No Litigation Pending. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of the Seller’s
knowledge, threatened, against the Seller, which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the
Seller would adversely affect the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser or the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
Agreement or result in any material liability of the Seller, or draw into question the validity of this Agreement, or have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition of the Seller or the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(vii)        
No Consent Required. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required

by this Agreement or, if required, such approval has been obtained prior to the Closing Date;

(viii)       
Ordinary Course of Business. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is in the ordinary course
of business of the Seller, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller pursuant

(ix)         
No Broker. The Seller has not dealt with any broker or agent or anyone else who might be entitled to a fee or commission

(x)          
No Untrue Information. Neither this Agreement nor any statement, report or other agreement, document or instrument furnished
or to be furnished pursuant to this Agreement contains or will contain any materially untrue statement of fact or omits or will
omit to state a fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

(b)          
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser
on which the Purchaser specifically relies in purchasing such Mortgage Loan. Such representations and warranties speak as of the
Closing Date (unless otherwise indicated), but shall survive any subsequent transfer, assignment or conveyance of such Mortgage
Loans:

    	-5-

    	 	 

    

(i)            
[INCLUDE REPS AND WARRANTIES AS REQUIRED BY RATING AGENCIES AND INVESTORS]

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 3.1 will inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding any restrictive
or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or assignment of Mortgage or the examination of any Mortgage File.

Section 3.2         
Remedies for Breach.

(a)          
With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein that are made to the knowledge or the best knowledge
of the Seller or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such representation and
warranty is inaccurate and the inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, or the interest
therein of the Purchaser or the Certificateholders, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the
substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was made, such inaccuracy
shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty and the Seller shall take such action described in the following
paragraph of this Section 3.2(a) in respect of such Mortgage Loan.

Upon discovery or receipt of notice of
any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File for which such missing or defective document
was not ever listed in the Custodian’s Trust Receipt as having been received, or of the breach by the Seller of any representation,
warranty or covenant in Section 3.1(b) hereof in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such
Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Certificateholders, the Seller shall deliver such missing document
or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach,
and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period,
the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which
the Seller was notified (subject to Section 3.2(c)) of such missing document, defect or breach. If such defect or breach can ultimately
be cured but is not reasonably expected to be cured within the 90-day period, then the Seller shall have such additional time,
if any, as is reasonable, to cure such defect or breach, provided that the Seller has commenced curing or correcting such defect
or breach and is diligently pursuing the same. In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Seller may
cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Defective Mortgage Loan) and substitute
one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2(c). If the
breach of representation and warranty that gave rise to the obligation to repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Section 3.2 was the representation and warranty set forth in clause [____] of Section 3.1, then the Seller shall pay to the
Trust Fund, concurrently with and in addition to the remedies provided in the preceding three sentences, an amount equal to any
liability, penalty or expense that was actually incurred and paid out of or on behalf of the Trust Fund, and that directly resulted
from such breach, or if incurred and paid by the Trust Fund thereafter, concurrently with such payment. It is understood and agreed
that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing,
a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Purchaser.

(b)          
Any substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 3.2(a), must
be effected prior to the date which is two years after the Closing Date and in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

In addition, the Seller shall obtain at
its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal
tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions”
under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the

    	-6-

    	 	 

    

startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1)
of the Code, or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(c)          
Upon discovery by the Purchaser, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute
a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall
within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase
such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 60 days
of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution
shall be made by the Seller if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner
as set forth in Section 3.2(a).

Section 3.3         
Purchaser Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Seller as of the Closing
Date (or if otherwise specified below, as of the date so specified) that:

(a)          
the Purchaser is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware;

(b)          
the Purchaser has full limited liability company power to own its property, to carry on its business as presently conducted
and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

(c)          
the execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability
company action on the part of the Purchaser; and neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of
the transactions herein contemplated hereby, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach
of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding
on the Purchaser or its properties or the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of the Purchaser, except
those conflicts, breaches or defaults which would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s
ability to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;

(d)          
the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action
in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except those consents, approvals, notices, registrations
or other actions as have already been obtained, given or made;

(e)          
this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery
by the Seller, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against it in accordance with its terms
(subject to applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors
generally); and

(f)           
except as previously disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against the Purchaser, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental
body (i) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) with respect to any other matter which
in the judgment of the Purchaser if determined adversely to the Purchaser would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely
affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Purchaser is not in default with
respect to any order of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body so as to materially and adversely affect
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

under the Seller.

Section 6.8         
Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller is
selling, the Mortgage Loans, rather than a loan by the Purchaser to the Seller secured by the Mortgage Loans. Accordingly, the

by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser will have the right to review the Mortgage

the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee,
on behalf of the Trust Fund of all of the Purchaser’s rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement and to the enforcement
or exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Purchaser. Such enforcement of a right
or remedy by the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been
enforced or exercised by the Purchaser directly.

Section 6.10       
Survival. The representations and warranties made herein by the Seller shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage
Loans hereunder.
