Section 1.03 Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such Officer’s Certificate or opinion are based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at the request of the Company which could not have been taken had the original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Notes issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other outstanding Notes, except as aforesaid.

Section 1.04 Acts of Holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by the agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee or to the Company, as applicable. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04.

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

(b) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and of every debt security replacing that Note, and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company or the Conversion Agent in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(c) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the Close of Business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

Section 1.05 Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company.

Section 1.06 Notice to Holders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given, and shall be deemed given, to Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

Any notice required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event otherwise to be specified therein, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event to a Holder of a Global Note (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depositary, including by electronic mail in accordance with rules and procedures of the Depositary.

Section 1.07 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings in this Indenture and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 1.08 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company and Trustee shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 1.09 Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture, the Guarantee, or the Notes shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 1.10 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture, the Guarantee or the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 1.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE GUARANTOR, AND THE TRUSTEE AND EACH HOLDER AND BENEFICIAL OWNER BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE NOTES (OR A BENEFICIAL INTEREST THEREIN) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE GUARANTEE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 1.12 Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE, THE GUARANTEE, AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 1.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where any Special Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity of any Note, and Fundamental Change Purchase Date or any other date on which Special Interest (if any), principal or premium (if any) is due, shall not be a Business Day at any

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

place of payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Guarantee, or the Notes) payment of Special Interest (if any) or principal and premium, if any, need not be made at such place of payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such place of payment, with the same force and effect, and in the same amount, as if made on the Special Interest Payment Date, or at the Stated Maturity, or such other date, as the case may be, and, if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day, no Special Interest or other amount shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Special Interest Payment Date, or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such Business Day.

Section 1.14 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). The Company agrees (i) to provide the Trustee with such reasonable information as it has in its possession to enable the Trustee to determine whether any payments pursuant to this Indenture are subject to the withholding requirements described in Section 1471(b) of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations, or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof (“Applicable Law”), and (ii) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law, for which the Trustee shall not have any liability.

ARTICLE 2

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Designation and Amount. The Notes shall be designated as the “0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025.” The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is initially limited to $600,000,000, subject to Section 2.15 and except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Notes to the extent expressly permitted hereunder.

Unless the Notes are converted pursuant to ARTICLE 12 or are purchased or subject to purchase under the Fundamental Change Purchase Right provisions of ARTICLE 3, the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.02 Form and Dating. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is a part of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by applicable law, securities exchange rules or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement required by usage is in a form acceptable to the Company). The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Indenture, all Notes shall be identical in all respects. Notwithstanding any differences among them, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

(a) Initial Notes. The Notes initially shall be issued in the form of one Global Note that shall be deposited with the Notes Custodian, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

(b) Global Notes in General. Each Global Note shall represent the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each Global Note shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, purchases by the Company and conversions.

Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof in accordance with Applicable Procedures and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary. Payment of the principal, accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the Global Note shall be made to the Holders represented by such Global Note on the date of payment, unless a record date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

(i) This Section 2.02(c) shall apply only to Global Notes deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

(ii) Each Global Note initially shall (x) be registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of DTC, (y) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for DTC and (z) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.02(d). Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to DTC, its successors or their respective nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i). If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(iii) Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Trustee as the custodian of DTC or under such Global Note, and DTC shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(iv) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.07 to beneficial owners who are required to hold Certificated Notes, the Notes Custodian shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Certificated Notes of like tenor and amount.

(v) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.07, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

(vi) The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(vii) Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (A) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (B) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

(d) Legends. Each Global Note shall bear the Global Notes Legend unless otherwise directed by the Company.

(e) Form of Notes. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company, the Guarantor, and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to be bound by such terms.

Section 2.03 Payments to Paying Agent or Registrar. The principal of, premium (if any), and Special Interest (if any) on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the continental United States in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, any Special Interest on this Note may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such address shall appear on the Register or by a wire transfer to an account designated by the Person entitled thereto.

Section 2.04 Execution and Authentication. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by an Officer of the Company and may have the corporate seal of the Company affixed thereto or reproduced thereon and attested by any other Officer of the Company. The signature of such Officer on the Notes may be manual, facsimile, electronic or pdf.

Notes bearing the manual, facsimile or pdf signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution Officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

The Trustee shall authenticate (i) Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000, and (ii) any additional Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.15 for original issue after the Issue Date, in each case upon Company Order, which Company Order shall, in the case of any issuance of additional Notes, certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 2.15. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on the date of authentication, and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as Global Notes or Certificated Notes. The Trustee, in accordance with any such Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee shall have signed manually or by facsimile (which may be electronic) the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Notes shall originally be issued only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and integral multiples thereof.

Section 2.05 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain in the continental United States an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and an office or agency where notices to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Holders, the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange and conversion of the Notes (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of this Indenture. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents. The term Paying Agent includes any such additional paying agents. The term Conversion Agent includes any such additional conversion agents.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Holders of any change in the name and address of any Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, any presentations, surrenders, notices and demands required to be made by, or at the office of, any such agent may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or in accordance with Section 1.05; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 8.08. The Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-Registrar.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent, the Registrar, and as its agent for service of notice and demands in connection with the Notes, and the Corporate Trust Office to be such office or agency of the Company for the aforesaid purposes. The Company may at any time rescind the designation of the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or the Registrar or approve a change in the location through which any of them acts; provided that the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar must be located within the continental United States.

Section 2.06 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. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Guarantor, furnish to the Trustee, promptly after each Special Interest Record Date, 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.

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Subject to Section 2.13, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of the Company-designated Registrar or co-Registrar pursuant to Section 2.05, (i) the Company shall execute, and the Trustee (or any authenticating agent) upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture and (ii) the Registrar shall record the information required pursuant to Section 2.05 regarding the designated transferee or transferees in the Register. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Registrar, any co-Registrar or the Paying Agent for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge required in connection therewith.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged, at such office or agency, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and documents of identity and title satisfactory to the Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Note surrendered for conversion or any Note in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given and not validly withdrawn by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of a Note to be converted or purchased in part by the Company, the portion of such Note not to be so converted or purchased).

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.13 and this Section 2.07(b). Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note to the Depositary, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(c) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Register.

(d) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.05 shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of the Notes upon transfer or exchange of the Notes.

(e) Transfer Restrictions.

(i) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.07(e) to bear the Restricted Notes Legend (a “Restricted Note”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.07(e) and such legend unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Note, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer.

(ii) No transfer of any Restricted Note will be registered by the Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Transfer Certificate attached to such Restricted Note has been checked and such certificates, legal opinions and other information as reasonably required by the Registrar or Company confirming that the applicable condition to transfer has been satisfied have been provided.

(f) Legends on the Common Units. Common Units issued upon conversion of any Notes may be in certificated or book-entry form in the sole discretion of the Company in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement. Except as provided elsewhere in this Indenture, any certificate or book-entry notation representing Common Units issued upon conversion of any Notes shall bear the Restricted Units Legend unless (i) such Common Units have been transferred (1) under a registration statement that has become or been declared

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (2) in accordance with Rule 144, or (ii) such requirement is waived by the Company.

(g) Any Common Units evidenced by a physical certificate(s) (i) that have been transferred under a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (ii) that have been sold in accordance with Rule 144, may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such Common Units for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Units, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of Common Units, which shall not bear the Restricted Units Legend, subject to the provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement.

Section 2.08 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note, of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, the Guarantor, or the Trustee that such Note is held by a Person purporting to be the owner of such Note, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and the Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone other than the Holder of such new Note, and any such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

Section 2.09 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time include and are limited to all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except (i) Notes cancelled by the Trustee or required to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.11, (ii) Notes, or portions thereof, the principal of which has become due and payable on the Maturity Date, on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or otherwise, and in respect of which monies in the necessary amount shall have been deposited in trust with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent (other than the Company) or shall have been set aside and segregated in trust by the Company (if the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent), (iii) Notes, or portions thereof, that have been converted pursuant to ARTICLE 12 and that are required to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.11 and (iv) Notes repurchased by the Company, directly or indirectly, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries, pursuant to Section 2.15 (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives). For the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to ARTICLE 7 and ARTICLE 11) only outstanding Notes on the relevant record date shall be considered in any such determination. In addition, for the purpose of any such determination, Notes that are owned by the Company, the Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or the Guarantor (unless the Company, the Guarantor, or such Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or the Guarantor owns all of the outstanding Notes) shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Trust Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 2.09 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Subsidiary thereof or a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or the Guarantor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Certificated Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Certificated Notes in lieu of which they are issued, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes; provided, however, that temporary Notes need not recite specific redemption, sinking fund, conversion or exchange provisions.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 with respect to the Notes, after the preparation of the Certificated Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable, without charge to the Holder thereof, for Certificated Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 2.05 for such Notes. Upon such surrender of temporary Notes, the Company shall, except as aforesaid, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor Certificated Notes of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Certificated Notes of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.11 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, repurchase (including pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 2.15, other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash settled swaps or other derivatives that are not physically settled), registration of transfer or exchange or conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Note Registrar, be delivered to the Note Registrar and, if not theretofore canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Note Registrar. The Company may at any time deliver to the Note Registrar for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or which the Company shall not have issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Note Registrar. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Note Registrar shall be disposed of in accordance with the customary procedures of the Note Registrar as at the time of disposition shall be in effect, and the Note Registrar shall promptly deliver a certificate of disposition to the Trustee and the Company unless, by a Company Order delivered to the Note Registrar and the Trustee, the Company shall direct that canceled Notes be returned to it. The Note Registrar shall promptly deliver evidence of any cancellation of a Note in accordance with this Section 2.11 to the Trustee and the Company.

Section 2.12 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered in the Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, Special Interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, for the purpose of conversion and for all other purposes whatsoever, subject to Section 2.09 and Section 2.13(a)(ii), whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.13 Transfer of the Notes.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, (A) any transfer of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.07 and Section 2.13(a)(i); and (B) any exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Certificated Note shall comply with Section 2.07 and Section 2.13(a)(ii). All such transfers and exchanges shall comply with the Applicable Procedures to the extent so required.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

(i) Transfer of Global Note. A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no transfer of a Global Note to any other Person may be registered; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Note that is issued in exchange for a Global Note but is not itself a Global Note. No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this Section 2.13(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.13(a).

(ii) Restrictions on Exchange of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note for a Certificated Note.

(A) A Certificated Note will be issued and delivered:

(1) to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the related Notes only if (a) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice; or (b) DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such cessation; or

(2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to each beneficial owner who requests that its beneficial interests in the Notes be exchanged for Certificated Notes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in the Notes, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any beneficial owner of a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such beneficial owner’s right to exchange its beneficial interest in such Global Note for a Certificated Note in accordance with this Section 2.13(a)(ii).

In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Note for Certificated Notes pursuant to this Section 2.13(a)(ii), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

(B) Upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions from the Holder of a Global Note directing the Registrar to (x) issue one or more Certificated Notes in the amounts specified to the owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note and (y) debit or cause to be debited an equivalent amount of beneficial interest in such Global Note, subject to the Applicable Procedures:

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

(1) the Registrar shall notify the Company and the Trustee of such instructions and identify the owner of and the amount of such beneficial interest in such Global Note;

(2) the Company shall promptly execute, and upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to such beneficial owner of any Certificated Notes in an equivalent amount to such beneficial interest in such Global Note; and

(iii) Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Certificated Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Note and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Note to be exchanged, and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Note so cancelled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(b) None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall have any 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 Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) 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.

(c) None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Note, a DTC participant or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any DTC participant, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any DTC participant, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of the Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the Applicable Procedures, other than the right of a beneficial owner to exchange its beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Certificated Note during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(ii). The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. Subject to the exceptions set forth in the second preceding sentence, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to deal with DTC, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered Holder of any Global Note for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Note (including the payment of principal and Special Interest, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Note) as the sole holder of such Global Note and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of DTC with respect to such Global Note, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Note, for any transactions between DTC and any DTC participant or between or among DTC, any such DTC participant and/or any Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Note, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Note or shall impair, as between DTC and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of DTC (or its nominee) as a Holder of such Global Note.

Section 2.14 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

(a) The Company, in issuing the Notes, shall use restricted CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers for such Notes (if then generally in use) until such time as the Restricted Notes Legend is removed therefrom. At such time as the legend is removed from such Notes, the Company will use an unrestricted CUSIP number for such Note, but only with respect to the Notes where the legend was so removed. The Company and the Trustee may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number that appears on any Note, check, advice of payment or notice, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any action taken in connection with such a notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in the event of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers.

(b) Until such time as the Restricted Units Legend is no longer required to be borne by a Common Unit issued upon the conversion of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.07(f) or otherwise, any such Common Unit issued upon conversion of the Notes shall bear a restricted CUSIP number. At such time as the Restricted Units Legend is no longer required to be borne by a Common Unit issued upon the conversion of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.07(f) or otherwise, any such Common Unit issued upon conversion of the Notes shall bear an unrestricted CUSIP number.

Section 2.15 Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without notice to, or the consent of, the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes in an unlimited aggregate principal amount with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the issue price, the issue date, and, if applicable, any Special Interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes), provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes or securities law purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order and an Officer’s Certificate, which shall cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 16.02, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, upon the reasonable request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel which shall cover such matters required by Section 16.02. The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.05(b)) an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day), sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for purchase (and not withdrawn prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 3.03) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.03 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

Section 3.06 Notes Purchased in Part. Any Certificated Note that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered which is not purchased, or in the case of a Global Note, the Company shall instruct the Registrar to decrease such Global Note by the principal amount of the purchased portion of the Note surrendered.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, notice that such money and Common Units remain unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 calendar days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money and Common Units then remaining will be repaid or delivered to the Company.

Section 5.06 Delivery of Certain Information. If, at any time, the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes or any Common Units issuable upon conversion thereof will, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, upon the request of any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of the Notes or any Common Units issuable upon the conversion of the Notes, promptly furnish to such Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of the Notes or such Common Units pursuant to Rule 144A, as such rule may be amended from time to time. The Company will take such further action as any Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes may reasonably request to the extent from time to time required to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such Notes or Common Units in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes or elsewhere in this Indenture, at the election of the Company, the sole remedy of Holders for an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to file reports, information

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

or documents with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.02(a) (the “Company’s Filing Obligations”) shall, after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Special Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 180-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurs (in addition to any Special Interest that may accrue as a result of a Registration Default under the Registration Rights Agreement). If the Company makes such election to pay Special Interest, such Special Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Special Interest Payment Date following the date on which such Event of Default first occurred in the manner provided in Section 13.01. On the 181st day following the date on which such Event of Default first occurred (if the failure to comply with the Company’s Filing Obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02. The provisions contained in this Section 7.01(b) shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Special Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 7.01(b) or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the Special Interest when due, the Notes will immediately be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02.

In order to elect to pay the Special Interest as the sole remedy for the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with the Company’s Filing Obligations, the Company must notify, in writing and prior to the beginning of such 180-day period, all Holders, the Paying Agent and the Trustee of such election (which notice shall include a statement as to the date from which the Special Interest is payable and, in the case of the Trustee, shall be delivered to its Corporate Trust Office and shall make explicit reference to this Indenture, the Notes and the Company). Unless and until a Trust Officer receives at the Corporate Trust Office such notice, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Special Interest is payable. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Special Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Special Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Special Interest. If Special Interest has been paid by the Company directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

Section 7.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default applicable to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may then declare the principal amount of all Notes and Special Interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such declaration of acceleration, such principal amount and any such Special Interest accrued thereon shall become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes shall have been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event or Events of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if:

(a) the Company shall have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(i) all overdue Special Interest on all the Notes;

(ii) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and Special Interest, if any, that is then due thereon;

(iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue Special Interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes;

(iv) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 8.08; and

(b) all Events of Default with respect to the Notes other than the non-payment of the principal of Notes that shall have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 7.13, including the Event or Events of Default that gave rise to such declaration.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company or the Guarantor under the Federal bankruptcy code, then 100% of the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on, all of the Notes then outstanding shall, automatically and without any notice or other action by the Trustee or any Holder, be and become immediately due and payable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 7.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. If an Event of Default described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and premium, if any, and Special Interest, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on premium, if any, and on any overdue principal and Special Interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 8.08.

If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

law out of the property of the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 7.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company, the Guarantor or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or Special Interest, if any) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and Special Interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts due to the Trustee under Section 8.08) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official 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 amounts due it under Section 8.08.

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 Notes 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 7.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

Section 7.06 Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or premium, if any, or Special Interest, if any, upon presentation of the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money shall have been collected and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 7.12 Control by Holders. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and could not involve the Trustee in personal liability in circumstances where indemnity would not, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, be adequate, and

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 7.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

(a) in the payment or delivery of (i) the principal of or premium, if any, or Special Interest, if any (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) on any Note, or (ii) the consideration due upon conversion of any Note, or

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 11.02 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of the outstanding Note affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any and all Events 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 7.14 Undertaking for Costs. The Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment or delivery of the principal of or premium, if any, or Special Interest, if any (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable), on, or the consideration due upon conversion of, any Note when or after the same is due.

Section 7.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company 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 wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) 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.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a)(vii) or Section 7.01(a)(viii), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(g) The Company (or, should the Company fail so to act promptly, the successor trustee at the expense of the Company) shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in

In case any Notes 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 Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 8.12 Co-trustees and Separate Trustees. At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Company does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company.

Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions:

(a) the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of Notes, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely, by the Trustee;

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Company. Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section; and

(d) no co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder.

The Trustee must be a Person who is eligible to act as an indenture trustee under the TIA and must have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article.

Section 8.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent with respect to the Notes, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration of transfer or pursuant to Section 2.08, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

Any Corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

The provisions of Section 2.12, Section 8.03 and Section 8.04 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

Any amendment or supplement to this Indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 11.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 11.02.

Section 11.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. With the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding under this Indenture, voting as one class, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, the Guarantor and the Trustee may enter

into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under the Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected:

(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or Special Interest on, any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of Special Interest, if any, thereon (or the amount of any installment of Special Interest thereon) or change the method of calculating such rate, or change the coin or currency (or other property), in which any Note or any premium or any interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity of any Note or when any other payment is due (including upon a Fundamental Change Purchase Date, if applicable); or

(f) modify or amend the terms and conditions of the obligations of the Guarantor as guarantor of the Notes in a manner that is materially adverse to the rights of the Holders; or

(g) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.07 or Section 7.13 with respect to the Notes, except to increase the percentages in principal amount referred to in this Section or such other Sections; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.10(b) and Section 8.12.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A waiver by a Holder of such Holder’s right to consent under this Section shall be deemed to be a consent of such Holder.

Section 11.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

ARTICLE 12

CONVERSIONS

Section 12.01 Conversion Privilege and Consideration. Subject to the limitations of Section 3.02 and Section 9.01 and the settlement provisions of Section 12.03(a), a Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert the principal amount of its Notes, or any portion of such principal amount that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at an initial conversion rate of 13.1296 Common Units (subject to adjustment as provided in this ARTICLE 12, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 12.03, the “Conversion Obligation”).

Section 12.02 Conversion Procedure.

(a) To convert a Note or portion thereof, a Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, must (i) in the case of a Global Note, (a) comply with the procedures of the Depositary then in effect for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Note and (b) if applicable, pay all funds required under Section 12.02(g) and Section 12.02(h) below, and (ii) in the case of a Certificated Note, (a) complete and manually sign the Form of Notice of Conversion attached to such Certificated Note (a “Notice of Conversion”) or a facsimile of the Notice of Conversion, with the appropriate signature guarantees, (b) deliver the Notice of Conversion, which is irrevocable, and the Certificated Note to the Conversion Agent, (c) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, (d) if applicable, pay all funds required under Section 12.02(h) below, and (e) if applicable, pay all funds required under (g) below.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

(b) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted at the Close of Business on the first Business Day (the “Conversion Date”) on which (i) the Holder thereof satisfies all of the requirements set forth in Section 12.02(a) with respect to such Note and (ii) the conversion of such Note is not otherwise prohibited by Section 3.04(a) hereof.

(c) If the last day on which a Note may be converted is not a Business Day, the Note may be surrendered on the immediately following day that is a Business Day. Upon the conversion of a Note, the Conversion Agent, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than one Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for the Note, will provide the Company with notice of the conversion of the Note, and the Company, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than two Business Days after such Conversion Date, will notify the Trustee, if other than the Conversion Agent, of the conversion of the Note.

(d) If a Holder converts the entire principal amount of a Note, such Person will no longer be a Holder of such Note, except that (i) such Holder shall have the right hereunder to receive the consideration due upon conversion and (ii) if the relevant Conversion Date occurred between a Special Interest Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date, the Holder of record of such Note on the Special Interest Record Date shall have the right to receive the related Special Interest payment on such Special Interest Payment Date, if any.

(e) If a Holder surrenders only a portion of a Certificated Note for conversion, promptly after the Conversion Date for such portion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a Company Order authenticate and deliver to such Holder, a new Certificated Note in an authorized denomination equal to the aggregate principal amount of the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note. Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee shall promptly make a notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Notes” of such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing upon any conversion of a Note effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(f) If any Common Units are to be delivered upon conversion, a converting Holder (or its designee) shall be treated as the holder of record of such Common Units as of the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period.

(g) Notwithstanding Section 12.03(c), if a Holder converts its Note after the Close of Business on a Special Interest Record Date but prior to the Open of Business on the Special Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Special Interest Record Date, the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Special Interest Record Date shall receive, on such Special Interest Payment Date, the Special Interest payment payable on such Note on such Special Interest Payment Date, if any, but the Notes surrendered for conversion during such period must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of Special Interest payable on such Note on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that no such payment need be made: (i) if such Note is surrendered for conversion after the Close of Business on November 1, 2025, if Special Interest is payable on the Maturity Date, (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Special Interest Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date and such Note

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

is surrendered for conversion after such Special Interest Record Date and on or prior to such corresponding Special Interest Payment Date, or (iii) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any Defaulted Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. As a result of the foregoing, the Company shall pay Special Interest, if any, on the Maturity Date on all Notes converted after the Close of Business on November 1, 2025 (if and to the extent Special Interest is payable on the Maturity Date), and converting Holders shall not be required to pay to the Company equivalent Special Interest amounts. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all record Holders on the Special Interest Record Date, if any, immediately preceding the Maturity Date and any Fundamental Change Purchase Date as described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, respectively, will receive the full Special Interest payment, if any, due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Special Interest Payment Date (if and to the extent Special Interest is payable on the Maturity Date or on the applicable Special Interest Payment Date, as the case may be) regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Special Interest Record Date.

(h) If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any Common Units upon such conversion; provided that if such tax is due because such converting Holder requested that such Common Units be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name, such Holder shall pay such tax.

Section 12.03 Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) Subject to and except as provided in this Section 12.03, Section 12.06(a) or Section 12.07(e), upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation by paying to the converting Holder in cash the Principal Portion of the Note being converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, Common Units or a combination of cash and Common Units, at the Company’s election, to the converting Holder in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Conversion Obligation in excess of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted. Pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall pay (and deliver, if applicable) to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a settlement amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the relevant Observation Period.

(i) The Company shall not issue any fractional Common Units upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional Common Units issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period.

(ii) Except as set forth in Section 12.06 and Section 12.07, the Company shall pay (and deliver, if applicable) the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period.

(iii) All conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after August 15, 2025 shall be settled using the same Cash Percentage.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

(iv) Except for any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after August 15, 2025, the Company shall use the same Cash Percentage for all conversions with the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Cash Percentage with respect to conversions with different Conversion Dates.

(v) If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or the period described in the fourth immediately succeeding set of parentheses, as the case may be), the Company elects a Cash Percentage, the Company shall deliver a written notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the Cash Percentage so elected in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be) to converting Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) no later than the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions occurring on or after August 15, 2025, no later than the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 15, 2025), and the Company shall indicate in such notice the percentage (the “Cash Percentage”) of the excess, if any, of the Daily Conversion Value over the Daily Principal Portion of the Notes being converted that will be paid in cash, if any. If the Company does not timely elect a Cash Percentage prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be deemed to have elected a Cash Percentage of 0%, and the Company shall settle such excess with delivery of Common Units.

(b) If a Holder surrenders more than one Note for conversion on a single Conversion Date, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered by such Holder.

(c) If a Holder converts a Note, except as set forth in Section 12.02(g), (i) such Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment (in addition to the Conversion Obligation) for accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on such Note and (ii) the Company’s payment and delivery, as the case may be, to such converting Holder of the Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full the Company’s obligation to pay to such Holder (A) the principal amount of such converted Note and (B) accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, subject to Section 12.02(g), accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on a converted Note to but, excluding, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon a conversion of Notes, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion.

Section 12.04 Covenants Relating to Underlying Common Units.

(a) The Company covenants that (i) any Common Units delivered upon conversion of the Notes shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive rights and shall be free of any lien or adverse claim or from any taxes or charges with respect to the issue thereof, and (ii) the holders of such Common Units will have no obligation to make any further payments for the purchase of such Common Units or contributions to the Company solely by reason of their ownership of such Common Units.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

(b) In addition, the Company will cause any such Common Units to be listed on any stock exchange on which the Common Units are then listed (if any) and will comply with any securities exchange rules applicable to the Notes and/or the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 12.05 Adjustments to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as described in this Section 12.05, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate for any Holder that participates (as a result of holding the Notes, and at the same time as the holders of Common Units participate) in any of the transactions described below as if such Holder held, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, a number of Common Units equal to the Conversion Rate, without having to convert its Notes.

(a) Dividends, Distributions, Splits and Combinations. If the Ex-Dividend Date occurs for any issuance by the Company of solely Common Units as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all of the Common Units, or if the Company effects a Common Unit split or a combination of Common Units, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such Common Unit split or combination, as the case may be;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as the case may be;

OS0 = the number of Common Units outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as the case may be; and

OS1 = the number of Common Units outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, common unit split or combination, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made under this Section 12.05(a) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date for such Common Unit split or combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 12.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate shall immediately be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend or distribution not been declared or announced. The “effective date,” with respect to a Common Unit split or combination, means the first date on which the Common Units trade in the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, reflecting the relevant Common Unit split or combination, as applicable.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

(b) Adjustment for Rights Issue. If the Ex-Dividend Date occurs for any issuance by the Company to all or substantially all holders of Common Units of any rights, options or warrants entitling the holders of such rights, options or warrants for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase Common Units, at a price per Common Unit less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Units for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

OS0 = the number of Common Units outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

X = the total number of Common Units issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y = the number of Common Units equal to (i) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by (ii) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Units over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any adjustment made under this Section 12.05(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that Common Units are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date of such expiration, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Common Units actually delivered. If no such rights, options or warrants are so issued, or if no such rights, options or warrants are exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate shall immediately be readjusted, as of the scheduled issuance date, to equal the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the relevant adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.05(b) not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 12.05(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Units to subscribe for or purchase Common Units at a price per Common Unit less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Units for each Trading Day in the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Units, there shall be taken into

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

account any consideration that the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(i) If the Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution by the Company of its Partnership Interests, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire Partnership Interests or other securities to all or substantially all holders of Common Units, excluding (A) dividends or distributions (including Common Unit splits) described in (a); (B) dividends or distributions of rights, options or warrants described in Section 12.05(b); (C) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in Section 12.05(d); and (D) Spin-Offs described in Section 12.05(c)(ii) (any of such Partnership Interests, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Partnership Interests or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Units over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV= the fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors, of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding Common Unit as of the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “SP0” (as defined above) minus “FMV” (as defined above) is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Units, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received as if such Holder had owned a number of Common Units equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any adjustment made under this Section 12.05(c)(i) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, or if any rights, options or warrants are not exercised before their expiration date, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such distribution or as of such expiration date, as the case may be, to be the

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such distribution not been declared or to the extent such rights, options or warrants are not exercised, as applicable.

(ii) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.05(c), if the relevant dividend or other distribution consists of Partnership Interests of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company that is listed for trading or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the spin-off) on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange or a reasonably comparable (as determined by the Board of Directors) non-U.S. equivalent (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;

FMV0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Partnership Interests or similar equity interest distributed with respect to one of our Common Units (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Units were to such Partnership Interests or similar equity interest) over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, but excluding, the effective date for the Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and

MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Units over the Valuation Period.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12.05(c)(ii) shall become effective at the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided, that in respect of any conversion of Notes, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Valuation Period, the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.

(d) Adjustment for Cash Distributions. If the Ex-Dividend Date occurs for any cash dividend or distribution by the Company to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding Common Units (other than a regular quarterly cash distribution that does not exceed the Distribution Threshold), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP0 = the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Units on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

T = the Distribution Threshold; provided, that if the dividend or distribution is not a regular quarterly cash distribution, then the Distribution Threshold will be deemed to be zero; and

C = the amount in cash per Common Unit that the Company pays or distributes to holders of Common Units.

If “SP0” (as defined above) minus “C” (as defined above) is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Units, the amount of cash such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of Common Units equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution.

Any adjustment made under this Section 12.05(d) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the related Ex-Dividend Date not occurred.

(e) Adjustment for Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment to holders of Common Units in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Units (other than (x) distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 12.05(d), or (y) an odd-lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Common Unit exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Units over the ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Averaging Period”) commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the last day of the Averaging Period;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last day of the Averaging Period;

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for the Common Units purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS0 = the number of Common Units outstanding immediately prior to the expiration time of such tender or exchange offer (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all Common Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer);

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

OS1 = the number of Common Units outstanding immediately after the expiration time of such tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the purchase of all Common Units accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP1 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Units over the Averaging Period.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 12.05(e) will be given effect at the Close of Business on the last day of the Averaging Period; provided that in respect of any conversion of Notes, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Averaging Period, references to “ten” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date of such tender or exchange offer to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.

If the Company is obligated to purchase Common Units pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in this Section 12.05(e) but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the applicable Conversion Rate will be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been made.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Other Adjustments. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAP, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Net Settlement Amount over a span of multiple days (including without limitation an Observation Period and if applicable, the period for determining the Unit Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Company will make appropriate adjustments in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Value or the Daily Net Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.

(h) Unitholder Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a Unitholder rights plan in effect at the time a Holder converts any Notes, the Holder will receive on the applicable conversion settlement date, in addition to any Common Units the Company delivers in connection with such conversion, the rights under the Unitholder rights plan. However, if the rights have separated from the Common Units in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Unitholder rights plan prior to such Conversion Date, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed to all of the holders of Common Units, the Company’s Partnership Interests, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants as described in Section 12.05(c); provided that such

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

adjustment shall be subject to readjustment upon the expiration, termination or redemption of such separated rights in accordance with Section 12.05(c).

(i) No Adjustments. Except as stated herein, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of Common Units or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units or the right to purchase Common Units or such convertible or exchangeable securities. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted (i) upon the issuance of any Common Units pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of distributions or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Units under any plan; (ii) upon the issuance of any Common Units or options or rights to purchase those units pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) upon the issuance of any Common Units pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding clause (ii) and (A) outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued, or (B) that the Company has agreed to issue on or prior to the date the Notes were first issued; (iv) upon the repurchase of any Common Units pursuant to an open-market unit repurchase program or other buy-back transaction that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the nature described under clause (e) of Section 12.05; or (v) for accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent; provided, however, that any such minor adjustments that are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made shall be made (i) upon the occurrence of the effective date for any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (ii) prior to the Close of Business on the Conversion Date, and (iii) prior to the Close of Business on any other date on which the Conversion Rate is referred to for purposes of determining the consideration deliverable upon settlement of a Note. In addition, the Company shall not account for such deferrals when determining what number of Common Units a Holder would have held on a given day had it converted its Notes.

(j) Voluntary Increases. In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 12.05, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and any applicable securities exchange rules, from time to time, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate of the Notes by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days (i) if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the best interest of the Company or (ii) to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of Common Units or rights to purchase Common Units in connection with a dividend or distribution of units (or rights to acquire units) or a similar event. The Company will give the Trustee and the Holders at least 15 days’ notice of any such increase.

(k) No Adjustments Resulting in Decrease. If the application of the foregoing formulas in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 12.05 would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a Common Unit combination pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 12.05 or the reversal of

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

an increase to the Conversion Rate where the relevant event did not occur, as expressly specified in this Indenture).

(l) Notice of Certain Potential Events. In connection with any event that will require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 12.05 or any event or transaction described in Section 7.01 (unless prior notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall, promptly following the first public announcement of such event or transaction, mail to the Holders a notice of such transaction or event describing the event, the anticipated occurrence or effective date, as the case may be, the methodology for determining the relevant adjustment (if applicable) to the Conversion Rate or other terms of the Notes and such other information as the Company reasonably determines is appropriate to include.

(m) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate, detailing the calculation of the Conversion Rate and describing the facts upon which the adjustment is based upon which such Officer’s Certificate the Trustee may conclusively rely. Unless and until a Trust Officer shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Neither the Trustee nor Conversion Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not make any representation as to the validity or value of, any Common Units, securities or assets issued upon settlement of the Notes or as to the accuracy of any calculation made hereunder. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which such adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Register.

Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment. In addition, the Company will issue a press release containing the relevant information or make such information available on the Company’s website.

Section 12.06 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

(a) In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of Common Units (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination);

(ii) any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Company;

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries; or

(iv) any statutory unit exchange,

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

in each case, as a result of which the Common Units would be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Unit Exchange Event” and any such stock, other securities or other property or assets, “Reference Property,” and the amount of Reference Property that a holder of one Common Unit immediately prior to such Unit Exchange Event would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Unit Exchange Event, a “Reference Property Unit”), then the Company or the successor or purchasing company, as the case may be, shall execute a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee providing that, at and after the effective time of such Unit Exchange Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the number of Reference Property Units that a holder of a number of the Common Units equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Unit Exchange Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Unit Exchange Event. However, at and after the effective time of the Unit Exchange Event, (i) the amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 12.03 shall continue to be payable in cash; (ii) the Company shall continue to have the right to elect to determine the Cash Percentage and form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its Conversion Obligation in excess of the principal amount of the Notes being converted in accordance with Section 12.03; (iii) the number of Common Units, if any, otherwise deliverable by the Company upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 12.03 above shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of Common Units would have received in such Unit Exchange Event; and (iv) the Daily VWAP and Last Reported Sale Price shall be calculated based on the value of a Reference Property Unit.

If the Unit Exchange Event causes the Common Units to be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of unitholder election), then (i) the Reference Property shall be deemed to be the weighted average, per Common Unit, of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Units that affirmatively make such an election, and (ii) the Reference Property Unit for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one Common Unit. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other that the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. In connection with any adjustment to the Conversion Rate described above, the Company will also adjust the Distribution Threshold based on the number of shares of stock (or equity securities) comprising the Reference Property and (if applicable) the value of any non-equity consideration comprising the Reference Property. If the Reference Property is composed solely of non-equity consideration, the Distribution Threshold will be zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the holders of Common Units receive only cash in a Unit Exchange Event, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Unit Exchange Event (i) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased as described in Section 12.07), multiplied by the price paid per Common Unit in such Unit Exchange Event and (ii) the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying the cash due upon such conversions to converting Holders no later than the third Business Day immediately following

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

the Conversion Date. For these purposes, the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide, to the extent the Reference Property is comprised, in whole or in part, of Common Equity, for anti-dilution and other adjustments that are as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this ARTICLE 12. If the Reference Property in respect of any Unit Exchange Event includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or, in the case of a transaction described in ARTICLE 6, the successor to the Company, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders, including the right of Holders to require the Company to purchase their Notes upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to ARTICLE 3, as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

(b) If the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 12.06, as promptly as practicable, the Company shall file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly describing such Unit Exchange Event, the composition of a Reference Property Unit for such Unit Exchange Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent to such Unit Exchange Event under this Indenture have been complied with. Any failure to deliver such Officer’s Certificate shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The Company shall also issue a press release containing such information and shall make such press release available on its website.

(c) The Company shall not become a party to any Unit Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 12.06. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to convert its Notes as set forth in Section 12.02 and Section 12.01 prior to the effective date of such Unit Exchange Event.

(d) The provisions of this Section 12.06 shall apply successively to successive Unit Exchange Events.

Section 12.07 Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Certain Transactions.

(a) If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, in the circumstances described in this Section 12.07, increase the Conversion Rate for such Notes by the number of additional Common Units (the “Additional Units”) determined under this Section 12.07. For the purposes of this Section 12.07, a conversion of Notes shall be deemed to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the Notice of Conversion of such Notes is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the date on which such Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (such date, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date”) and up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date).

The Company shall notify the Holders of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and issue a press release announcing the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such effective date.

(b) The number of Additional Common Units by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased for any Notes converted in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table in clause (d) below, based on the relevant Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Unit Price paid (or deemed paid) per Common Unit in the Fundamental Change.

(c) The Unit Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in clause (d) below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 12.05. The adjusted Unit Prices shall equal the Unit Prices in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Unit Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment. The number of Additional Common Units set forth in the table in clause (d) below shall be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 12.05.

(d) The following table sets forth the Unit Prices and Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates and the number of Additional Common Units, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased for a Holder that converts its Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change having such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and Unit Price:


	Unit Price
Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date	$63.47	$70.00	$76.16	$80.00	$85.00	$90.00	$95.00	$100.00	$105.00	$110.00	$115.00	$120.00	$125.00

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

In the event that the exact Unit Price or Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date for a Make-Whole Fundamental Change is not set forth in the table above:

(i) if the Unit Price is between two Unit Prices listed in the table or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates listed in the table, the number of Additional Common Units shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Common Units set forth for the higher and lower Unit Prices and the earlier and later Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable;

(ii) if the Unit Price is greater than $125.00 per Common Unit (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Unit Prices in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Common Units shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and

(iii) if the Unit Price is less than $63.47 per Common Unit (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Unit Prices in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Common Units shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.07, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased as a result of this Section 12.07 to exceed 15.7554 Common Units per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment at the same time and in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.05 (the “Maximum Conversion Rate”).

(e) With respect to any Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

(i) that is described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change and in which the holders of Common Units receive only cash in consideration for their Common Units (a “Cash Merger”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.03, the Unit Price shall be the cash amount paid per Common Unit, and the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation with respect to any Notes converted in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change by delivering to the converting Holder, on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for such Notes, an amount of cash, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted, equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date (as increased by any Additional Common Units pursuant to this Section 12.07) and (B) the “Unit Price” with respect to such Cash Merger; or

(ii) that is not a Cash Merger, (A) the Unit Price with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall equal the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Units over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date, and (B) for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation with respect to any Notes converted in connection with such Make-Whole

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 12.03, based on the Conversion Rate as increased by any Additional Common Units pursuant to this Section 12.07.

Section 12.08 Trustee’s Disclaimer. None of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, or Conversion Agent shall have any duty to determine when an adjustment under this ARTICLE 12 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. None of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, or Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any of a Fundamental Change, a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, or a Unit Exchange Event shall have occurred. None of the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent shall have any liability for, shall be accountable for, or shall have been deemed to make any representation as to the validity or value (of the kind or amount) of any of the Common Units or of any Reference Property. None of the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent shall be responsible for (i) any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any Common Units or stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion and (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with this ARTICLE 12. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any duty or be obligated to provide notice of any Unit Exchange Event to the Holders or any other party.

None of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent shall be responsible for calculating the Last Reported Sale Price, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed herein, in making the same and shall be entitled to presume that no such event has occurred until the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such event has occurred, on such Officer’s Certificate the Trustee may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and any such agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 12.06 or Section 12.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable for Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any Unit Exchange Event or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

The Conversion Agent (if other than the Company) shall have the same protection under this Section 12.08 as the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 13

NO REGULAR INTEREST; SPECIAL INTEREST; defaulted interest

Section 13.01 No Regular Interest; Special Interest. The Notes shall not bear regular cash interest, and the principal amount of the Notes will not accrete. Special Interest on the Notes, if

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

any, shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each, a “Special Interest Payment Date”), commencing on May 15, 2021, if Special Interest is then payable, until maturity or earlier conversion or repurchase. Special Interest on a Note, if any, shall be paid to the Holder of record of such Note at the Close of Business on the Special Interest Record Date immediately preceding such Special Interest Payment Date. No Special Interest will accrue on a Note for the day that the Note matures. The amount of Special Interest, if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (and for any period shorter than a full semi-annual period, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such period using 30-day calendar months).

Section 13.02 Defaulted Interest. Any installment of Special Interest that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Special Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Special Interest Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in Section 13.02(a) or Section 13.02(b).

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on a date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) as provided in this Section 13.02(a). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) which shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than ten calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall promptly cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) shall be paid to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on such Special Record Date.

(b) Alternatively, the Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, if any, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange if, after notice given by the Company to

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 13.02(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 13.03 Interest Rights Preserved. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE 13 and, to the extent applicable, Section 2.06 and Section 2.07, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to Special Interest, if any, accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

ARTICLE 14

MEETINGS OF HOLDERS

Section 14.01 Purpose for Which Meetings May Be Called. A meeting of Holders may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to this Article to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders.

Section 14.02 Call, Notice and Place of Meetings.

(a) The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders for any purpose specified in Section 14.01, to be held at such time and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Trustee shall determine, or, with the approval of the Company, at any other place. Notice of every such meeting, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given, in the manner provided in Section 1.06, not less than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

(b) If the Trustee shall have been requested to call a meeting of the Holders by the Company or by the Holders of 33% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes for any purpose specified in Section 14.01, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have given the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders in the amount above specified, may determine the time and the place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in such other place as shall be determined or approved by the Company, for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in subsection (a) of this Section.

(c) Any meeting of Holders shall be valid without notice if the Holders of all outstanding Notes are present in person or by proxy and if representatives of the Company and the Trustee are present, or if notice is waived in writing before or after the meeting by the Holders of all outstanding Notes or by such of them as are not present at the meeting in person or by proxy, and by the Company and the Trustee.

Section 14.03 Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders, a Person shall be (a) a Holder, or (b) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders by such Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall

Section 14.04 Quorum; Action. The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within one hour of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for such period as may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for such period as may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Except as provided by Section 14.05(e), notice of the reconvening of any meeting adjourned for more than 30 days shall be given as provided in Section 14.02(a) not less than 10 days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes that shall constitute a quorum.

Except as limited by Section 12.02, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes; provided, however, that, except as so limited, any resolution with respect to any action which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders, whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

Section 14.05 Attendance at Meetings; Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.

(a) Attendance at meetings of Holders may be in person or by proxy; and, to the extent permitted by law, any such proxy shall remain in effect and be binding upon any future Holder of Notes with respect to which it was given unless and until specifically revoked by the Holder or future Holder of such Notes before being voted.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders in regard to proof of the holding of such Notes and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Notes shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.04 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.04. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 1.04 or other proof.

(c) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 14.02(b), in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

(d) At any meeting each Holder or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder or proxy.

(e) Any meeting duly called pursuant to Section 14.02 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

Section 14.06 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the outstanding Notes or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports of all votes cast at the meeting. A record of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 14.02 and, if applicable, Section 14.04. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

Accordingly, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 15, the Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Trustee and each Holder that: (i) the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon repurchase pursuant to ARTICLE 3), premium, if any, amounts due on conversion and Special Interest on the Notes, if any, shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at the Maturity Date, upon acceleration, upon repurchase due to a Fundamental Change, upon conversion or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on any overdue Special Interest, if any, on the Notes shall be punctually paid in full according to their terms and the terms of this Indenture; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, upon repurchase due to a Fundamental Change or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 15.03 hereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”). Subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 15, the Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any thereof, the entry of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes: (a) any right to require the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each, a “Benefited Party”) to proceed against the Company or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Benefited Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy in any secured party’s power before proceeding against the Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of a Benefited Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind (except as expressly required by this Indenture), including but not limited to notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, any Benefited Party, any creditor of the Guarantor or the Company or on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any obligations the performance of which are hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Benefited Party, including but not limited to an election to proceed against the Guarantor for reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any defense arising because of a Benefited Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law; and (g) any defense based on

The Guarantor hereby covenants that, except as otherwise provided therein, the Guarantee shall not be discharged except by payment in full of all Guarantee Obligations, including the principal and interest, if any, on the Notes.

Section 15.02 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. The execution by the Guarantor of this Indenture evidences the Guarantee of the Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note.

(a) The Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute fraudulent transfers or conveyances for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under this ARTICLE 15 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor, result in the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting fraudulent transfers or conveyances.

(a) For purposes of any provision of this Indenture which provides for the delivery by the Guarantor of an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, the definitions of such terms in Section 1.01 hereof shall apply to the Guarantor as if references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

(b) Any request, direction, order or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is to be made by the Guarantor shall be sufficient if evidenced as described in Section 16.01 hereof as if references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.

NEXTERA ENERGY PARTNERS, LP

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Notes of the Company, designated as its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), initially limited to the aggregate principal amount of Six Hundred Million Dollars ($600,000,000), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of December 3, 2020 (the “Indenture”), between the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor and the Holders of Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.

The Note is absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by NextEra Energy Operating Partners, LP, as guarantor, pursuant to and according to the terms of the Guarantee included in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of and Special Interest, if any, accrued on the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the rights and obligations of the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Notes at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by Holders of the specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes shall bind all current and future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of

A-5

000-0000-0000/7/AMERICAS

such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or any Special Interest hereon (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) or the delivery of the consideration due upon conversion of such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid Special Interest on, and the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes and of like tenor and of authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, and a Holder may be required, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents.
