WHEREAS, Sections 2.01 and 2.03 of the Base Indenture permit the execution of indentures supplemental thereto to establish the form and terms of Debt Securities of any series;

ARTICLE II

GENERAL TERMS OF THE NOTES

SECTION 2.1 Form.

The Notes and the Trustee’s certificates of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, which is hereby incorporated into this Sixth Supplemental Indenture. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Partnership and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

4

The Notes shall be issued upon original issuance in whole in the form of one or more Global Securities (the “Book-Entry Notes”). Each Book-Entry Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and 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 and redemptions.

The Partnership initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Book-Entry Notes.

SECTION 2.2 Title, Amount and Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) The Notes shall be entitled the “7.125% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2054.” The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) the Notes for original issue on the date hereof (the “Original Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000, and (ii) additional Notes for original issue from time to time after the date hereof in such principal amounts as may be specified in a Partnership Order, in each case, upon a Partnership Order for the authentication and delivery thereof and satisfaction of the other provisions of Section 2.04 of the Base Indenture. Such Partnership Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, and the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be outstanding at any time may not exceed $400,000,000 plus such additional principal amounts as may be issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph (except as provided in Section 2.09 of the Base Indenture). The Original Notes and any additional Notes issued and authenticated pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph shall constitute a single series of Debt Securities for all purposes under the Indenture.

(b) The Notes shall bear interest (i) from and including the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the First Reset Date at the rate of 7.125% per annum and (ii) from and including the First Reset Date, during each Reset Period at a rate per annum equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the most recent Reset Interest Determination Date plus a spread of 2.829%, to be reset on each Reset Date, and shall have a Stated Maturity of October 1, 2054 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest accumulating or payable on the Notes for any Interest Payment Period (or portion thereof) will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) of each year to Holders of record at the close of business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date, subject to Section 2.4 hereof. If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment of interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, without any interest, additional interest, or other payment in lieu of interest or additional interest accumulating with respect to this delay. The Partnership will give written notice of the relevant Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as soon as reasonably practicable following each Reset Interest Determination Date to the Trustee and Paying Agent.

(c) If the Partnership, in its sole discretion, determines that the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the methods set forth herein, the Partnership may, in its sole discretion, designate an unaffiliated agent or advisor, which may include an unaffiliated underwriter for the offering of the Notes or any affiliate of any such underwriter, but shall not

5

include the Trustee (the “Designee”), to determine whether there is an industry-accepted successor rate to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate. If the Designee determines that there is such an industry-accepted successor rate, then the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate shall be such successor rate and, in that case, the Designee may adjust the spread and may determine and adjust the Business Day convention, the definition of a “Business Day” and the Reset Interest Determination Date to be used and any other relevant methodology for determining or otherwise calculating such successor rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make such successor rate comparable to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate in each case, in a manner that is consistent with industry-accepted practices for the use of such successor rate. If the Partnership, in its sole discretion, does not designate a Designee or if the Designee determines that there is no industry-accepted successor rate, then the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate will be the same rate determined for the prior Reset Interest Determination Date or, if this sentence is applicable with respect to the first Reset Interest Determination Date, the applicable interest rate for the First Reset Period (as defined below) will be 7.125%.

(d) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for determining whether there is an industry-accepted successor rate to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate or for making any adjustments to any spread thereon or the Business Day convention or interest determination dates with respect thereto or any other relevant methodology for calculating any such successor rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make such successor rate comparable to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate in each case, in a manner that is consistent with industry-accepted practices for the use of such successor rate. In connection with the foregoing, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination made by the Partnership or its Designee and will have no liability for such actions taken at the Partnership’s or Designee’s direction or otherwise in connection with respect to any such determination by the Partnership or its Designee.

(e) Payments of principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest due on the Notes representing Book-Entry Notes on any Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date will be made available to the Trustee by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, unless such date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case (x) such payments will be made available to the Trustee by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next Business Day, and (y) for so long as clause (x) is satisfied, no interest shall accrue on the amount of interest due on such Interest Payment Date for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date and the date of payment. As soon as possible thereafter, the Trustee will make such payments to the Depositary.

SECTION 2.3 Regular Record Date

With respect to each Interest Payment Date, the record date for the Notes shall be March 15 and September 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”).

SECTION 2.4 Deferral of Interest.

(a) So long as no Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Partnership may, at its option, defer interest payments on the Notes, from time to time, for one or more deferral periods of up to 20 consecutive Interest Payment Periods (each such deferral period, commencing on the Interest Payment Date on which the first such deferred interest

6

payment otherwise would have been made, an “Optional Deferral Period”), except that no such Optional Deferral Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date or end on a day other than the day immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date. During any Optional Deferral Period, interest on the Notes will continue to accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the Notes (as reset from time to time on any Reset Date occurring during such Optional Deferral Period in accordance with the terms of the Notes). In addition, during any Optional Deferral Period, interest on the deferred interest (“compound interest”) will accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the Notes (as reset from time to time on any Reset Date occurring during such Optional Deferral Period in accordance with the terms of the Notes), compounded semi-annually, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(b) No interest will be due or payable on the Notes during an Optional Deferral Period, except upon a redemption of any Notes on any Redemption Date during such Optional Deferral Period (in which case, all accrued and unpaid interest (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any compound interest) on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date will be due and payable on such Redemption Date), or unless the principal of and interest on the Notes shall have been declared due and payable as the result of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (in which case, all accrued and unpaid interest, including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any compound interest, on the Notes, shall become due and payable). All references in the Notes and, insofar as relates to the Notes, the Indenture to “interest” on the Notes shall be deemed to include any such deferred interest and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any compound interest, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.

(c) Before the end of any Optional Deferral Period that is shorter than 20 consecutive Interest Payment Periods, the Partnership may elect, at its option, to extend such Optional Deferral Period, so long as the entire Optional Deferral Period does not exceed 20 consecutive Interest Payment Periods or extend beyond the Maturity Date. The Partnership may also elect, at its option, to shorten the length of any Optional Deferral Period. No Optional Deferral Period (including as extended or shortened) may end on a day other than the day immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date. At the end of any Optional Deferral Period, if all amounts then due on the Notes, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by applicable law, any compound interest), are paid, the Partnership may elect to begin a new Optional Deferral Period; provided, however, that, without limitation of the foregoing, the Partnership may not begin a new Optional Deferral Period unless the Partnership has paid all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes (including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by applicable law, any compound interest) from any previous Optional Deferral Periods.

(d) During any Optional Deferral Period, the Partnership (and its subsidiaries, as applicable) shall not do any of the following (subject to the exceptions set forth in clause (e) of this Section 2.4):

(1) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on any Capital Stock of the Partnership;

(2) redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to any Capital Stock of the Partnership;

7

(3) pay any principal, interest or premium on, or repay, repurchase or redeem, any indebtedness of the Partnership that ranks equally with or junior to the Notes in right of payment; or

(4) make any payments with respect to any guarantees by the Partnership of any indebtedness if such guarantees rank equally with or junior to the Notes in right of payment.

(e) However, during an Optional Deferral Period, the Partnership may (i) declare and pay dividends or distributions payable solely in its common units (together with cash in lieu of any fractional unit) or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase units of its common units, (ii) declare and pay any dividend or distribution in connection with the implementation of a plan (a “Rights Plan”) providing for the issuance by the Partnership to all holders of its common units of rights entitling them to subscribe for or purchase its common units or any class or series of its preferred equity, which rights (1) are deemed to be transferred with such common units, (2) are not exercisable until the occurrence of a specified event or events and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of its common units, (iii) issue any of shares of its Capital Stock under any Rights Plan or redeem or repurchase any rights distributed pursuant to a Rights Plan, (iv) reclassify its Capital Stock or exchange or convert one class or series of its Capital Stock for another class or series of its Capital Stock, (v) purchase fractional interests in shares of its Capital Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Capital Stock or the security being converted or exchanged, and (vi) purchase, acquire or withhold its common units related to the issuance of its common units or rights under any dividend reinvestment plan or related to any of its benefit plans for its directors, officers, employees, consultants or advisors, including any employment contract.

(f) The Partnership will give the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee written notice of its election of, or any shortening or extension of, an Optional Deferral Period at least 10 Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (ii) the date upon which the Partnership is required to give notice to any applicable self-regulatory organization or to Holders of the Notes of the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or the record date therefor. The record date for the payment of deferred interest and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any compound interest payable on the Interest Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Optional Deferral Period will be the Regular Record Date with respect to such Interest Payment Date.

SECTION 2.5 Interest Payments and Redemption.

Notwithstanding any provision of Article III of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date for the Notes will be payable on that Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders thereof as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, except that, if the Redemption Date for any Notes falls on any day during an Optional Deferral Period, accrued and unpaid interest (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any compound interest) on such Notes will be paid on such Redemption Date to the Persons entitled to receive the Redemption Price of such Notes. The Interest Payment Date falling immediately after the last day of an Optional Deferral Period shall not be deemed to fall on a day during such Optional Deferral Period.

8

SECTION 2.6 Calculation Agent.

(a) Unless the Partnership has validly called all of the outstanding Notes for redemption during the First Reset Period, the Partnership will appoint a calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”) for the Notes prior to the Reset Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the First Reset Date; provided that, if the Partnership has called all of the outstanding Notes for redemption on a Redemption Date occurring during the First Reset Period, but the Partnership does not redeem all of the outstanding Notes on such Redemption Date, the Partnership will appoint a Calculation Agent for the Notes prior to the Reset Interest Determination Date preceding the First Reset Date. The Partnership may terminate any such appointment and may appoint a successor Calculation Agent at any time and from time to time (so long as there shall always be a Calculation Agent in respect of the Notes when so required). The Partnership may appoint itself or an Affiliate of the Partnership as Calculation Agent.

(b) The applicable interest rate for each Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Reset Interest Determination Date. Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent will notify the Partnership of the interest rate for the Reset Period and the Partnership will promptly notify, or cause the Calculation Agent to promptly notify, the Trustee and Paying Agent for the Notes in writing of such interest rate, upon which the Trustee and Paying Agent will be permitted to conclusively rely. The Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any Interest Payment Period beginning on or after the First Reset Date, will be on file at the Partnership’s principal offices, will be made available to any Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes upon request and will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.7 Transfer and Exchange.

The transfer and exchange of Book-Entry Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with Section 2.17 of the Base Indenture and Article II of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth therein and herein) and the rules and procedures of the Depositary therefor, which shall include restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth therein and herein to the extent required by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ARTICLE III

14

(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is consistent with such direction, and

(3) subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

If an Event of Default is continuing with respect to all outstanding Debt Securities (that are subordinated pursuant to Article V of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture or a similar subordination provision), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all such outstanding Debt Securities, considered as one class, shall have the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of such Debt Securities of any one series.”

7.125% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2054

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Partnership (the “Debt Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Partnership and the Holders of the Debt Securities. The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series designated as the 7.125% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2054 of the Partnership, in an initial aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 (the “Securities”).

1. Interest.

The Partnership promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Indenture. Interest on the Security shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months provided that for any partial 30-day month interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days over a 30-day month. If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined in the Indenture), payment of interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, without any interest, additional interest, or other payment in lieu of interest or additional interest accumulating with respect to this delay. If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or the Maturity Date of the Securities is not a Business Day at any place of payment, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on the next Business Day at that place of payment. In that case, no interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the applicable Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be March 15 or September 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (such interest, the “Default Interest”) will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

So long as no Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series has occurred and is continuing, the Partnership may, at its option, defer interest payments on the Securities of this series, from time to time, as set forth in Section 2.4 of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the securities of each series at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Partnership with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security 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 Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.
