“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes, the yield determined by the Partnership in accordance with the following two paragraphs:

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Partnership after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Partnership shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Partnership shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, we shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Section 2.02.    Other Definitions.

Section 3.01.    Form. The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of Global Securities. The Notes will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes and Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, in each case the terms of which are incorporated in and made a part of this Supplemental Indenture, and the Partnership and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. To further evidence any future Guarantee that may be issued pursuant to Section 5.04 of this Supplemental Indenture, a notation relating to such Guarantee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor, or in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a limited partnership, an officer of the general partner of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 3.02.    Issuance of Additional Notes. The Partnership may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of any series of the Notes or the Trustee, increase the principal amount of all or any series of Notes under the Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) so issued will have the same form and terms (other than the date of issuance, the price to the public and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue and the initial interest payment date), and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the applicable Notes of such series previously issued, and such Additional Notes will form a single series with such Notes for all purposes under the Indenture.

Section 3.03.    Global Security Legend. Each Global Security shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE PARTNERSHIP OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC

(AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN.

Section 4.01.    Optional Redemption.

(a)    Prior to the Par Call Date, the Partnership may redeem the Notes, at the Partnership’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date, in the case of a redemption of the Notes) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

(b)    On or after the Par Call Date, the Partnership may redeem the Notes at the Partnership’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

(c)    The Partnership’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d)    Subject to the last sentence in this paragraph, in the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or other depository), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of such depository.

(e)    Unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.

(f)    The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture in respect of the Notes shall apply to any optional redemption of the Notes except when such provisions conflict with the foregoing.

The following covenants, in addition to the covenants set forth in Article IV of the Base Indenture, shall apply to the Notes:

Section 5.01.    Limitation on Liens. While any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Principal Subsidiaries to, create, or permit to be created or to exist, any mortgage, lien, pledge, security interest, charge, adverse claim, or other encumbrance (“Lien”) upon any Principal Property of the Partnership or any of its Principal Subsidiaries, or upon any equity interests of any Principal Subsidiary, whether such Principal Property is, or equity interests are, owned on or acquired after the date of the Indenture, to secure any Debt, unless the Notes then outstanding are equally and ratably secured by such Lien for so long as any such Debt is so secured, other than:

(a)    purchase money mortgages, or other purchase money Liens of any kind upon property acquired by the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture, or Liens of any kind existing on any property or any equity interests at the time of the acquisition thereof (including Liens that exist on any property or any equity interests of a Person that is consolidated with or merged with or into the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary or that transfers or leases all or substantially all of its properties or assets to the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary), or conditional sales agreements or other title retention agreements and leases in the nature of title retention agreements with respect to any property hereafter acquired, so long as no such Lien shall extend to or cover any other property of the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary;

(b)    Liens upon any property of the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary or any equity interests of any Principal Subsidiary existing as of the date of the initial issuance of the Notes or upon the property or any equity interests of any entity, which Liens existed at the time such entity became a Subsidiary of the Partnership;

(e)    builders’, materialmen’s, mechanics’, carriers’, warehousemen’s, workers’, repairmen’s, operators’, landlords’ or other similar Liens, in the ordinary course of business;

(f)    Liens created by or resulting from any litigation or proceeding that at the time is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, including Liens relating to judgments thereunder as to which the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary has not exhausted its appellate rights;

(g)    Liens on deposits required by any Person with whom the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary enters into forward contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements or other commodities contracts in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with established risk management policies and Liens in connection with leases (other than capital leases) made, or existing on property acquired, in the ordinary course of business;

(h)    easements (including, without limitation, reciprocal easement agreements and utility agreements), zoning restrictions, rights-of-way, covenants, consents, reservations, encroachments, variations and other restrictions on the use of property or minor irregularities in title thereto, charges or encumbrances (whether or not recorded) affecting the use of real property and which are incidental to, and do not materially impair the use of such property in the operation of the business of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the value of such property for the purpose of such business;

(i)    Liens in favor of the United States of America, any State, any foreign country or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of any such jurisdiction, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any Debt incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such Liens, including, without limitation, Liens to secure Debt of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type;

(k)    Liens in favor of the Partnership, one or more Principal Subsidiaries, one or more wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any of the foregoing in combination;

(l)    the replacement, extension or renewal (or successive replacements, extensions or renewals), as a whole or in part, of any Lien, or of any agreement, referred to in the clauses above, or the replacement, extension or renewal of the Debt secured thereby (not exceeding the principal amount of Debt secured thereby, other than to provide for the payment of any underwriting or other fees related to any such replacement, extension or renewal, as well as any premiums owed on and accrued and unpaid interest payable in connection with any such replacement, extension or renewal); provided that such replacement, extension or renewal is limited to all or a part of the same property that secured the Lien replaced, extended or renewed (plus improvements thereon or additions or accessions thereto); or

(m)    any Lien not excepted by the foregoing clauses; provided that immediately after the creation or assumption of such Lien the aggregate principal amount of Debt of the Partnership or any Principal Subsidiary secured by all Liens created or assumed under the provisions of this clause, together with all net sale proceeds from any Sale-Leaseback Transactions, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Base Indenture or herein, shall not exceed an amount equal to 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets for the fiscal quarter that was most recently completed prior to the creation or assumption of such Lien.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of making the calculation set forth in clause (m) of the preceding paragraph, with respect to any such secured Debt of a non-wholly owned

Principal Subsidiary of the Partnership with no recourse to the Partnership or any wholly owned Principal Subsidiary thereof, only that portion of the aggregate principal amount of such secured Debt reflecting the Partnership’s pro rata ownership interest in such non-wholly owned Principal Subsidiary shall be included in calculating compliance herewith.

Section 5.02.    Limitation of Sale-Leaseback Transactions. While the Notes remain outstanding, the Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Principal Subsidiaries to, engage in a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, unless:

(a)    the Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the date of acquisition of the relevant Principal Property or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full operations on such Principal Property, whichever is later, and the Partnership has elected to designate, as a credit against (but not exceeding) the purchase price or cost of construction of such Principal Property, an amount equal to all or a portion of the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction (with any such amount not being so designated to be applied as set forth in clause (b) below);

(b)    the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a Lien on the Principal Property subject to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or

(c)    the Partnership or such Principal Subsidiary, within a 270-day period after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to (1) the prepayment, repayment, redemption or retirement of any unsubordinated Debt of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries (A) for borrowed money or (B) evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, or (2) invest in another Principal Property.

Section 5.03.    Reports. So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Partnership shall:

(a)    during such time as it is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it files the same with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), copies of the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports which it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act; and

(b)    during such time as it is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it would have been required to file the same with the SEC, financial statements, including any notes thereto (and with respect to annual reports, an auditors’ report by a firm of established national reputation) and a Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both comparable to what it would have been required to file with the SEC had it been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

With respect to the Notes, the provisions of this Section 5.03 shall replace and preempt the provisions of Section 4.05(a) of the Base Indenture in their entirety.

Section 5.04.    Future Subsidiary Guarantors. As of the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes shall not be guaranteed by any of the Partnership’s existing Subsidiaries. If, after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries guarantees, becomes a borrower or guarantor under, or grants any Lien to secure any obligations pursuant to, the Revolving Credit Facility, then the Partnership will cause such Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a supplement to the Indenture and delivering such

supplement to the Trustee promptly (but in any event, within ten Business Days of the date on which it guaranteed or incurred such obligations or granted such Lien, as the case may be).

Section 5.05.    Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance or Transfer of Subsidiary Guarantors. No Subsidiary Guarantor shall consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets and the properties or assets of its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole with the properties or assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor) to another Person in one or more related transactions unless:

(b)    the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor), or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made, expressly assumes all of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee and the Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture;

(c)    the Subsidiary Guarantor or the successor Person delivers an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and any supplemental indenture required in connection therewith comply with the Indenture and that all conditions precedent set forth in the Indenture have been complied with; and

(d)    immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default or default under the Indenture will have occurred and be continuing.

Upon the assumption of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture by a successor, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be discharged from all obligations under the Indenture.

(b)    the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Partnership) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made, expressly assumes all of the Partnership’s obligations under the Indenture, including the Partnership’s obligation to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes pursuant to the Indenture;

(c)    the Partnership or the successor Person delivers an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and any supplemental indenture required in connection therewith comply with the Indenture and that all conditions precedent set forth in the Indenture have been complied with;

(d)    if the Partnership is not the survivor, each Subsidiary Guarantor delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that its Guarantee will continue to apply to the Notes; and

(e)    immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default or default under the Indenture will have occurred and be continuing.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1.    Interest. Western Midstream Operating, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.350% per annum from September 29, 2023 until maturity. The Partnership shall pay interest semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each such year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance. The first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2024.

2.    [Reserved]

3.    Method of Payment. The Partnership shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 1 or July 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.17 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest, and the Partnership shall pay principal (and premium, if any) of the Notes upon surrender thereof to the Trustee or a paying agent on or after the maturity date thereof. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose within or without The City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Partnership, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, each Global Security and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to an account in the United States to the Partnership or the paying agent on or prior to the applicable

record date. Such payment shall be 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 private debts.

4.    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Computershare Trust Company, National Association (successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as paying agent and Registrar. The Partnership may change any paying agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

5.    Indenture. The Partnership issued the 6.350% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) under an Indenture, dated as of May 18, 2011, by and among the Partnership, the former guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 29, 2023, between the Partnership and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are obligations of the Partnership initially in aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000. The Partnership may issue an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes under the Indenture. Any such Additional Notes that are actually issued shall be treated as issued and outstanding Notes (and as the same series (with identical terms other than with respect to the issue date, the date of first payment of interest, if applicable, and the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date) as the initial Notes) for all purposes of the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

6.    Optional Redemption. Prior to the Par Call Date, the Partnership may redeem the Notes, at the Partnership’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date, in the case of a redemption of the Notes) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Partnership may redeem the Notes at the Partnership’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

For purposes of determining any redemption price, the following definitions shall apply:

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes, the yield determined by the Partnership in accordance with the following two paragraphs:

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Partnership after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of

Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Partnership shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Partnership shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, we shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, we shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Partnership’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Subject to the last sentence in this paragraph, in the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon surrender for cancellation of the original Note. For so long as the Notes are held by DTC (or other depository), the redemption of the Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of such depository.

Unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.

The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture in respect of the Notes shall apply to any optional redemption of the Notes except when such provisions conflict with the foregoing.

7.    Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the procedures of DTC) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.

8.    [Reserved]

9.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Partnership may require a Holder to pay any taxes or other governmental charges required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Partnership need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption or repurchase, except for the unredeemed or unrepurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part. Also, the Partnership need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or repurchased or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

10.    Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

11.    Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Base Indenture or herein, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented for any of the purposes set forth in Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture (as amended by the Supplemental Indenture), including to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for the assumption of the Partnership’s obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation of the Partnership or sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, to add or release Subsidiary Guarantors (or their successors) pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder of the Notes, to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to permit the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee, to add any additional Events of Default, to secure the Notes or the Guarantees or to establish the form or terms of any other series of Debt Securities.

12.    Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default with respect to the Notes include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption or

otherwise, (iii) failure by the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor for 60 days after notice to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture; (iv) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under the Indenture or its Guarantee and (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Partnership or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of either the Partnership or a Subsidiary Guarantor, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Base Indenture or herein, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. If and so long as the board of directors, an executive committee of the board of directors or trust committee of responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith so determines, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes or except as otherwise specified in Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture. The Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Partnership is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

13.    Trustee Dealings with the Partnership. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Partnership or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Partnership or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

14.    No Recourse Against Others. The partners (other than the General Partner), directors, officers, employees, incorporators and members of each of the Partnership and any Subsidiary Guarantors, as such, shall have no liability for any obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Partnership under the Debt Securities, this Indenture or any Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Debt Security, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Debt Securities.

15.    Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

16.    Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

17.    CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Partnership has caused CUSIP and corresponding ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP and corresponding ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No

representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

The Partnership shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

If you want to elect to have only part of this Note purchased by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Indenture, state the amount (in minimum denomination of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) you elect to have purchased: $
