Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Senior Notes Offering
On December 19, 2023, Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises”)
and Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp. (“Icahn Enterprises Finance” and, together with Icahn Enterprises, the “Issuers”)
closed their previously announced sale of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new 9.750% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Initial
Notes”) pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated December 12, 2023 (the “Initial Purchase Agreement”), by and among
the Issuers, Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and Jefferies LLC, as initial purchaser (the
“Initial Purchaser”). The Initial Notes were priced at 100.000% of their face amount. The net proceeds from the sale of the
Initial Notes were approximately $498 million after deducting the Initial Purchaser’s discounts and commissions and estimated fees
and expenses related to the offering, and will be used, together with cash on hand and the net proceeds from the issuance of the Additional
Notes (as defined below), to redeem the Issuers’ existing 4.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) in
full on or around June 15, 2024. The 2024 Notes have been satisfied and discharged simultaneously with the closing of the offering.
Additionally, on December 19, 2023, the Issuers closed their previously
announced sale of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of additional 9.750% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Additional Notes,”
and, together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated December 15, 2023 (the “Additional
Purchase Agreement,” and, together with the Initial Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Agreements”), by and among the
Issuers, the Guarantor and the Initial Purchaser. The Additional Notes were priced at 100.625% of their face amount. The net proceeds
from the sale of the Additional Notes were approximately $200 million after deducting the Initial Purchaser’s discounts and commissions
and estimated fees and expenses related to the offering, and will be used, together with cash on hand and the net proceeds from the issuance
of the Initial Notes, to redeem the 2024 Notes in full on or around June 15, 2024.
The Additional Notes have substantially identical terms as the Initial
Notes. The Additional Notes constitute the same series of securities as the Initial Notes for purposes of the Indenture (as defined below),
and will vote together on all matters with the Initial Notes.
Interest on the Notes will be payable on January 15 and July 15 of
each year, commencing on July 15, 2024. Each Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties
and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Issuers and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on
the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities.
The Issuers issued the Notes under the indenture, dated December 19,
2023 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantor, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee
(the “Trustee”). The Indenture contains customary events of default and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence
of debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments. On or after October 15, 2028 (three months prior to the maturity date
of the Notes), the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Prior to October 15, 2028 (three months prior to the maturity
date of the Notes), the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes by paying a “make-whole” premium. If the Issuers experience
a change of control, the Issuers must offer to purchase for cash all or any part of each holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal
to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase.
The Notes and the related guarantees are the senior unsecured obligations
of the Issuers and rank equally with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness,
and rank senior to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes and the
related guarantees are effectively subordinated to the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future secured indebtedness
to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The Notes and the related guarantees are also effectively subordinated to
all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuers’ subsidiaries other than the Guarantor.
In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantor
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 19, 2023 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Initial
Purchaser. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers have agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, on or prior to 365 calendar days after the closing of the offering, to register an offer to exchange the Notes
for registered notes guaranteed by the Guarantor with substantially identical terms, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the registration statement to become effective by the 365th day after the closing of the offering. Additionally, the Issuers and the Guarantor
may be required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the Notes in certain circumstances. If the Issuers and the
Guarantor fail to satisfy these obligations, the Issuers may be required to pay additional interest to holders of the Notes under certain
circumstances.
A copy of each of the Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement is
attached as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K, respectively, and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description
of each of the Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the Registration
Rights Agreement, respectively.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation
Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Please see the information set forth in Item 1.01 above, which is
incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 19, 2023, Icahn Enterprises issued a press release announcing
the closing of the offering of the Notes. A copy of the press release is filed and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by
reference herein.
Notice of Unconditional Redemption
On December 19, 2023, the Issuers caused the Trustee to deliver on
the Issuers’ behalf a notice of unconditional redemption to holders of the Issuers’ outstanding 2024 Notes, informing such
holders that the Issuers will redeem all 2024 Notes, which were issued under an indenture, dated as of September 6, 2019, among the Issuers,
the Guarantor, and the Trustee. The redemption date will be on or around June 15, 2024 (the “Redemption
Date”), and the redemption price will be equal to 100.000% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
The above description of the notice of unconditional redemption is
not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the notice of unconditional redemption, which is filed hereto as Exhibit
99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.

outstanding principal amount of the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A.
“Acquired Debt” means, with
respect to any specified Person:
(1) Indebtedness
of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether

the issue date, the issue price and the first interest payment date. If any Additional Notes are not fungible with any other applicable
series of Notes for United States federal income tax purposes or if the Company otherwise determines that any Additional Notes should

(2) No
service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration

to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof).
(3) The
Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
(4) All
Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the
valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes
or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(5) Neither
the Registrar nor the Company will be required:
(A) to
issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day

being redeemed in part; or

certification or documentation satisfactory to them in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 2.06.
Section 2.07 |
Replacement Notes. |
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee
or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue
and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are
met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the
judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that
any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is an obligation of the
Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.08 |
Outstanding Notes. |
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest
in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not
outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or
an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be
outstanding for purposes of Section 9.02 hereof.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected
purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Note is considered
paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that
date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.
Section 2.09 |
Treasury Notes. |
In determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will
be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying
on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.
Section 2.10 |
Temporary Notes. |
Until certificates representing Notes are ready
for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary
Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary
Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee
will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to
all of the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.11 |

Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration
of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary practice (subject to
the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Evidence of cancellation of all canceled Notes, or confirmation of the

the Trustee for cancellation.

on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest,
to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01

(1) declare

any Guarantor’s) Equity Interests or to the holders of Icahn Enterprises’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ (including Icahn
Enterprises Holdings’) Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests
(other than Disqualified Stock) of Icahn Enterprises or to Icahn Enterprises or a Subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises (including Icahn Enterprises

or among Icahn Enterprises and any of its Subsidiaries (including any Guarantor)), except a payment of interest, Other Liquidated Damages
or principal at the Stated Maturity on such subordinated Indebtedness (all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses
(1) through (3) (except as excluded therein) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”),
unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted
Payment:
(1) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;
(2) Icahn
Enterprises or any Guarantor would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted

(9) of Section 4.07(b) is less than the sum, without duplication, of:
(A) 50%

2010 to the end of Icahn Enterprises’ most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available at the time
of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit) minus (y) all
dividends and distributions paid pursuant to clause (8) of the next succeeding paragraph; provided, however, that to
the extent any payments of Tax Amounts were not deducted in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income during the applicable period, for
purposes of this clause (a), such payments of Tax Amounts will be deducted from Consolidated Net Income, plus
(B) 100%
of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Icahn Enterprises since January 15, 2010 as a contribution to its equity capital or

(1) the
payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption or payment within 60 days after the date of declaration of the

that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (3)(B) of Section 4.07(a) hereof;
(3) the
repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor
that is contractually subordinated to the Notes with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness;
(4) the
declaration or payment of any dividend or distribution by a Subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises (including any Guarantor) to the holders of
its Equity Interests; provided, that if any such dividend or distribution is paid to an Affiliate of the Principal (other than
Icahn Enterprises or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Guarantor)), that any such dividend or distribution is paid on a pro rata
basis to all holders (including Icahn Enterprises or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Guarantor)) that hold securities whose terms
(either contractually or by law) entitle them to the same distribution upon which such dividend or distribution is paid;
(5) the
repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of Icahn Enterprises held by any member of
Icahn Enterprises’ (or any of its Subsidiaries’ (including any Guarantor’s)) management pursuant to any management equity
subscription agreement, stock option agreement or similar agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased,
redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests shall not exceed $2.0 million (other than with respect to Former Employees) in any calendar
year;
(6) for
so long as Icahn Enterprises is a partnership or otherwise a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes for any period, Icahn

period for which financial statements are available, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant Section 4.08(a) hereof
and (b) after giving effect to such purchase, redemption or retirement, the Partners’ Equity is at least $1.0 billion;

payment of dividends on the Common Units; provided, however, that such dividends or distributions may not exceed an annual amount
equal to $1.00 per Common Unit (as adjusted for any Common Unit split, subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or similar occurrence);

(9) other
Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount, when taken together with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (9), not
to exceed $50.0 million since the date of this Indenture.
(c) For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07, in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment meets the criteria of
more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (1) through (9) of Section 4.07(b), or is permitted
to be made pursuant to Section 4.07(a), Icahn Enterprises shall, in its sole discretion, classify (or later reclassify, in whole
or in part, in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section 4.07.
(d) The
amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets,

Section 4.08 |
Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. |
(a)
Neither Icahn Enterprises nor any Guarantor will create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable, contingently or otherwise,
with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and neither Icahn Enterprises nor any
Guarantor will issue any Disqualified Stock; provided, however, that Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including
Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, if immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of additional Indebtedness (including
Acquired Debt) or issuance of Disqualified Stock (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), the ratio of the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness (excluding Indebtedness incurred or of the type that would be permitted to be incurred
pursuant to clauses (4), (7) and (8) of Section 4.08(b)) of Icahn Enterprises and any Guarantor, determined on a consolidated
basis between Icahn Enterprises and any Guarantor but on a non-consolidated basis with the Subsidiaries of Icahn Enterprises (other than
any Guarantor) and otherwise in accordance with GAAP, (including an amount of Indebtedness equal to the principal amount of any Guarantees
by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of any Indebtedness of a Person (that is not Icahn Enterprises or a Subsidiary) to the extent such
Guarantees were not included in computing Icahn Enterprises’ or any Guarantor’s outstanding Indebtedness) to the Adjusted
Controlled Entity Net Worth, would have been less than 1.15 to 1.
(b) The
provisions of Section 4.08(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively,
“Permitted Debt”):
(1) the
incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by the Notes to be issued on the date of this Indenture and
the exchange Notes to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement;
(2) the
incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are
used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was incurred under Section 4.08(a) or
clauses (1), (2) or (9) of this Section 4.08(b) or any Existing Indebtedness;
(3) the
incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of intercompany Indebtedness between or among Icahn Enterprises and any of its Subsidiaries
(including Icahn Enterprises Holdings) or the issuance of Disqualified Stock by any Guarantor to Icahn Enterprises;
(4) the
incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of Hedging Obligations that are incurred in the normal course of business;
(5) the
incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of
a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five
Business Days;
(6) the
incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of the Existing Indebtedness;
(7) Indebtedness
arising from any agreement entered into by Icahn Enterprises or Icahn Enterprises Holdings providing for indemnification, purchase price
adjustment or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with an asset sale;
(8) Indebtedness
of Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor attributable to Bad Boy Guarantees; and
(9) the
incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding,
including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause
(9); not to exceed $10.0 million at any one time outstanding.
Neither Icahn Enterprises nor any Guarantor will
incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of
Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the
Note Guarantee, as applicable, on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of Icahn Enterprises or
any Guarantor shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Icahn Enterprises or any
Guarantor for purposes of this paragraph solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured to a lesser extent or on a junior Lien basis.
To the extent Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor
incurs any intercompany Indebtedness, (a) if Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness
(other than intercompany Indebtedness of any Guarantor to or from Icahn Enterprises or another Guarantor) must be expressly subordinated
to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes and (b)(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer
of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Icahn Enterprises or a Subsidiary of Icahn
Enterprises (including any Guarantor) and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either
Icahn Enterprises or a Subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises (including any Guarantor) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence
of such Indebtedness by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor, that is not intercompany Indebtedness; provided that in the case of
clause (a), that no restriction on the payment of principal, interest or other obligations in connection with such intercompany Indebtedness
shall be required by such subordinated terms except during the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default.
For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 4.08, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described
in clauses (1) through (9) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a), in each case, as of the date
of incurrence thereof, Icahn Enterprises shall, in its sole discretion, classify (or later reclassify in whole or in part, in its
sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08 and such Indebtedness will be treated
as having been incurred pursuant to such clauses or Section 4.08(a), as the case may be, designated by Icahn Enterprises.
The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization
of original issue discount, the payment of interest or Other Liquidated Damages on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness
with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment
of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.08. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 4.08, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor may incur pursuant
to this Section 4.08 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.
The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of

Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess

anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements
set forth in this Section 4.12 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or

a custodian of the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company for all or substantially all of the property
of the Company or such Guarantor; or

the liquidation of the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company;

Section 6.02 |
Acceleration. |
In the case of an Event of Default specified in
clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary,
all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee (by written notice to the Company) or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
outstanding of the Notes (by written notice to the Company and the Trustee) may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become
due and payable immediately.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders of the Notes, rescind an acceleration
and its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment
of principal, premium, if any, interest or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes that has become due solely because of the acceleration)
have been cured or waived.
Section 6.03 Other
Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and, interest and Special Interest,
if any, on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if
it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee
or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04 Waiver
of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes waive
an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to
purchase) or in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each
Holder affected by such modification or amendment; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from
such acceleration, in accordance with Section 6.02. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05 Control
by Majority.
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available
to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of
Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or for which the Holders have not offered and, if requested, provided to
the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee.
Section 6.06 Limitation
on Suits.
A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Notes only if:
(1) such
Holder has given to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(2) Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the
remedy;
(3) such
Holder or Holders has offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any
loss, liability or expense;
(4) the
Trustee has not complied with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(5) during
such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with such request.
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture
to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.
Section 6.07 Rights
of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture,
the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on the
Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder.
Section 6.08 Collection
Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or
(2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, remaining
unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient

advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.09 Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.

any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07
hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and
shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

ARTICLE 8
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
Section 8.01 Option
to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Company may at any time, at the option of
its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.
Section 8.02 Legal
Defeasance and Discharge.
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01
hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all
outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter
be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the related
Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments as
reasonably requested by the Company acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder:
(1) the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, interest and Special Interest, if
any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;
(2) the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;
(3) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties protections, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’
obligations in connection therewith; and
(4) this
Article 8.
Subject to compliance with this Article 8,
the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03
hereof.
Section 8.03 Covenant
Defeasance.
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01
hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in
Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof, Section 5.01(a)(4) and Section 5.01(b)(4) hereof
on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”),
and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration
or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding”
for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For
this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors
may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant
to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will
be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable
to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through
6.01(6) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:
(1) the
Company must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S.

recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of or premium on, if any,
and interest and Special Interest, if any, due on, the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity date or on the applicable redemption
date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated maturity date or to a particular
redemption date;
(2) in
the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which may be
an opinion of in-house counsel to Icahn Enterprises or a Guarantor, containing customary assumptions and exceptions, confirming that:
(A) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or
(B) since
the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon
such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(3) in
the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which may be
an opinion of in-house counsel to Icahn Enterprises or a Guarantor, containing customary assumptions and exceptions, confirming that
the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(4) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness),
and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;
(5) such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement
or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced)
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
(6) the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent
of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding
any creditors of the Company or others; and
(7) the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with, and, if any Government Securities are deposited,
a certificate or opinion of an accountant stating that the Government Securities (in combination with any cash) being deposited will
be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Special
Interest, if any, due on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity date or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be,
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Section 8.05 Deposited
Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money
and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively
for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding
Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders
of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest,
if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant
to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which
by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Subject to the Trustee’s rights under the
Indenture, including but not limited to Sections 7.02(b) and 12.04, notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary,
the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the written request of the Company any money or non-callable Government
Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof),
are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.
Section 8.06 Repayment
to Company.
Subject to any applicable abandoned property law,
any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of,
premium on, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal,
premium, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its written request
or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and
all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, 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 the New York Times
and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will
be repaid to the Company.
Section 8.07 Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason
of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then
the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however,
that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, any Note following
the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment
from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 9
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER
Section 9.01 Without
Consent of Holders of Notes.
Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture,
the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, or the Notes or the Note Guarantees without the consent
of any Holder of Notes:
(1) to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
(2) to
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;
(3) to
provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees
by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof;
(4) 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 hereunder of any Holder;
(5) to
comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;
(6) to
conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section
of the Company’s Offering Memorandum, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that
“Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or
the Notes, which intent may be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate to that effect;
(7) to
provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof; or
(8) to
allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.
Upon the request of the Company accompanied by
a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution
of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture
that affects its own rights, duties, protections, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 9.02 With
Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02,
the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.12 hereof) and the
Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) affected by such amendment or supplement voting as a single class (including,
without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject
to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from
an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the related Note Guarantees
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without
limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which
Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.
Upon the request of the Company, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt
by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and 9.06 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors
in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s
own rights, duties, protections, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion,
but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.
It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders
of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient
if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under
this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing
the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however,
in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04
and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive
compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to
any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
(1) reduce
the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(2) reduce
the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or provide that any Note is redeemable at an earlier date or for a price less
than provided in this Indenture;
(3) reduce
the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;
(4) waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium or, interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration
of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment
default that resulted from such acceleration);
(5) make
any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
(6) make
any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments
of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes;
(7) release
Icahn Enterprises Holdings or any other Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture; or
(8) make
any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.
Section 9.03 Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture
or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.
Section 9.04 Revocation
and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note
or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made
on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if
the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
Section 9.05 Notation
on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation
about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may
issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or
waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue
a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.06 Trustee
to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental
indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 unless such amended or supplemented indenture adversely affects the Trustee’s
own rights, duties, protections, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture,
the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition
to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution
of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and the amended or supplemental indenture has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and any Guarantor, and is enforceable against the Company and any Guarantor
in accordance with its terms.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders
under Section 9.01 or 9.02 to approve a particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient
if such consent approves the substance thereof.
ARTICLE 10
NOTE GUARANTEES
Section 10.01 Guarantee.
(a) Subject
to this Article 10, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this
Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:
(1) the
principal of, premium on, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether
at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest and
Special Interest, if any, on the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(2) in
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in
full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed
or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will pay the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees
that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b) The
Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder are 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 provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other Guarantor, any action to enforce
the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. The
Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy
of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant
that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.
(c) If
any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, a Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator
or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or a Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder,
this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d) The
Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed
hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between any Guarantors,
on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may
be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration
of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith
become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders or Trustee
under the Note Guarantee.
Section 10.02 Limitation
on Guarantor Liability.
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes,
each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee,
the Holders and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount
that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant
under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf
of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of
such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 10.03 Execution
and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01
hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto
will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will
be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee
set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation
of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture
or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed,
the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after
the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the
Guarantors.
Section 10.04 Guarantors
May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.
(a) Except
as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof and subject to 10.04(b), no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person,
other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:
(1) immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
(2) subject
to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving
any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee,
and the Registration Rights Agreement on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale
or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory
in form and substance to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the
covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted
for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may
cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall
not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects
have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof,
and notwithstanding clause 2 above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger
of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any merger or consolidation of Icahn Enterprises Holdings (or an Affiliate referred to in clause (1) of the
second paragraph of Section 5.01(b) or any Person that is the successor of Icahn Enterprises Holdings or any such successor
ad infinitum) or any sale of all or substantially all of Icahn Enterprises Holdings’ assets (or of an Affiliate referred
to in clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 5.01(b) or any Person that is the successor of Icahn Enterprises
Holdings or any such successor ad infinitum) shall be governed by Section 5.01(b) hereof and Section 10.04(a) shall
not apply to any such transaction.
Section 10.05 Releases.
(a) In
the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation
or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or another Guarantor, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or
other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the entity acquiring
the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released
and relieved of any obligations under the Note Guarantee; Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, will execute any documents reasonably required and requested in writing
by the Company in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.
(b) Upon
Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11
hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.
Each Guarantor not released from its obligations
under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on,
if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes and for the other obligations of the Company and any Guarantor under
this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.
ARTICLE 11
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 11.01 Satisfaction
and Discharge.
This Indenture will be discharged and will cease
to be of further effect as to all Notes and Note Guarantees issued hereunder, when:
(1) either:
(a) all
Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment
money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to Icahn Enterprises, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(b) all
Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable by reason of the sending of
a notice of redemption or otherwise, (2) will become due and payable within one year or (3) are to be called for redemption
within 12 months under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the
name, and at the reasonable expense of the Company, and in each case the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused
to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government
Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without
consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation for principal and premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
(2) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the
deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company
is a party or by which the Company is bound;
(3) the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and
(4) the
Company or any Guarantor have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited
money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied, and,
if any Government Securities are deposited, a certificate or opinion of an accountant stating that the Government Securities (in combination
with any cash) being deposited, will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire
Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal and premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest
and Special Interest, if any, to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01,
the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be
deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture.
Section 11.02 Application
of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06
hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance
with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and
interest and Special Interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable
to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason
of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of,
premium on, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by
the Trustee or Paying Agent.

assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
(1) Interest. Icahn

Company will pay interest and Special Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year (beginning
on July 15, 2024), 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 will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and
if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest
shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be ________________,
20___. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue
principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the
extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments
of interest and Special Interest, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate
to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(2) Method
of Payment. The Company will pay or cause to pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Special
Interest, if any, 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 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable
as to principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Special Interest,
if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment

thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued

Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased.

in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied,

by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment

amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with
any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the
consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption

with Article 5 of the Indenture, to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description

that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees
or the Notes; to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, or to allow
any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

to comply with any of their other agreements in this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee; (vi) default under certain other
agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior
to its express maturity; (vii) certain final judgments for the payment of money that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days;
(viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid
or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or Icahn Enterprises Holdings or any other Guarantor or any Person acting on
behalf of any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee and (ix) certain events
of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary. If any Event
of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee (by written notice to the Company) or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (by written notice to the Company and the Trustee) may declare all the Notes to be due and payable
immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy
or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may
not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, 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. The
Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, if it determines that withholding notice
is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to
the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default
and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on,
if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes and except for a waiver in respect of a covenant

Days, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposing
to take with respect thereto.

Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by

credited to the Pledged Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person
other than the Secured Party.
SECTION 6. Remedies. If

Account or any Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Obligation then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, including,
without limitation, applying any or all of the cash in the Pledged Account in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations, or otherwise
selling in one or more public or private sales or retaining in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations any or all of the Collateral
granted hereunder.

the State of New York.
SECTION 8. Conflict
with Other Agreements. The Financial Institution hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:
(a) There
are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Grantor (or any other person) with respect to the Pledged
Account or the Collateral;
(b) It
has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any person other than the Secured
Party relating to the Pledged Account or the Collateral pursuant to which it agrees or has agreed to comply with instructions (within
the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of such other person;
(c) It
has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Grantor or the Secured
Party purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Financial Institution to comply with instructions with respect to the Pledged
Account or the Collateral; and
(d) In
the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into
with respect to the Pledged Account or the Collateral, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
SECTION 9. Adverse
Claims. The Financial Institution represents and warrants that except for the claims and interest of the Secured
Party and of the Grantor in the Pledged Account and the Collateral, it does not know of any security interest in, lien on or claim to,
or other interest in, the Pledged Account or the Collateral. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim
(including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Pledged Account or the Collateral,
the Financial Institution will promptly notify the Secured Party and the Grantor thereof.
SECTION 10. Additional
Provisions Regarding Maintenance of Accounts. The Financial Institution covenants and agrees:
(a) Statements
and Confirmations. The Financial Institution will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence
concerning the Pledged Account or the Collateral, simultaneously to each of the Grantor and the Secured Party at the address for each
set forth in Section 14 of this Agreement.
(b) Tax
Reporting. All interest, if any, relating to the Pledged Account, shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service
and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Grantor.
SECTION 11. Additional
Representation and Warranty of the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution represents and warrants that
this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Financial Institution, enforceable in accordance with its
terms and conditions.
SECTION 12. Indemnification
of Financial Institution and Secured Party.
(a) The
Grantor hereby agrees that the Financial Institution shall be relieved from liabilities (i) arising from the error of judgment
made in good faith by it, unless it is proved that the Financial Institution was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (ii) with
respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
The Financial Institution (i) will not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred
upon it by this Agreement; (ii) may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence
of any attorney or agent appointed with due care; (iii) may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper person and it need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document; and
(iv) may consult with counsel of its choice and the written advice of such counsel will be full and complete authorization and
protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
The Grantor will indemnify the Financial Institution and hold it harmless
against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement against the Grantor (including this
Section 12) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Grantor or any other person) or liability in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except any such loss, liability or expense attributable to
its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Financial Institution will notify the Grantor promptly of any claim for
which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Financial Institution to so notify the Grantor will not relieve the Grantor
of its obligations hereunder. The Grantor will defend the claim and the Financial Institution will cooperate in the defense. The
Financial Institution may have separate counsel and the Grantor will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The
Grantor need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) The
Secured Party shall be entitled to all the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee under the Indenture,
including, without limitation, its right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified, which shall all be extended to and shall be enforceable
by the Secured Party hereunder in connection with any actions taken or omissions made by the Secured Party with respect to its duties
and obligations hereunder as if such rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits were explicitly granted hereunder.
(c) The
obligations of the Grantor under this Section 12 will survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 13. Successors;
Assignment. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Grantor nor the Financial Institution may delegate
their obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. Additionally, in the event that the
Secured Party is replaced as Trustee under the Indenture any entity that succeeds to such role shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement. The Secured Party agrees to send written notice to the Financial Institution of any such replacement.
SECTION 14. Notices. Any
notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have
been properly given when delivered in person, or when sent by telecopy or other electronic means and electronic confirmation of error

Section 2. HOLDERS

Section 3. REGISTERED
EXCHANGE OFFER
(a) Unless
the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable law or Commission rule, regulation or policy (after the procedures set forth in
Section 6(a)(i) below have been complied with), the Company shall (i) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to
be filed with the Commission no later than 365 days from the date hereof (the “Filing Deadline”), (ii) use
all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective no later than 365 days from
the date hereof (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all
pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause it to become effective, (B) file,
if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and (C) cause
all necessary filings, if any, in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Securities to be made under the Blue
Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of
such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, commence and Consummate the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate
form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Securities to be offered in exchange for the Offered Securities that are Transfer
Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange Securities by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Offered Securities
that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Offered
Securities acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c) below.
(b) The
Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously,
and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities
laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 30 Business Days. The
Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange
Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become
effective, but in no event later than 30 Business Days thereafter, or longer, if required by federal securities laws (the last day of
such period being the “Consummation Deadline”).
(c) The
Company shall include a “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer
as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Offered Securities acquired directly from the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company) may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such “Plan of
Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission
may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer
or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission
as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations.
Because such Broker-Dealer
may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange
Offer, the Company shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer
to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is available for sales of Exchange Securities by Broker-Dealers, the Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable
efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and
subject to the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act
and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 270 days from the Consummation
Deadline or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant thereto. The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers,
promptly upon request, and in no event later than two Business Days after such request, at any time during such period.
Section 4. SHELF
REGISTRATION
(a) Shelf
Registration. If (i) the Company is not (A) required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (B) permitted
to Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission regulations, rules or
policy (after the Company has complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below) or (ii) any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities notifies the Company prior to 20 Business Days following Consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A) such Holder
was prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange
Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer
and holds Offered Securities acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company shall:
(x) use all commercially
reasonable efforts on or prior to 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Company determines that the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement will not be or cannot be, as the case may be, filed, or the Exchange Offer consummated, as a result of clause
(a)(i) above (after the Company has complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below), and (ii) the
date on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above (such earlier date, the “Filing Deadline”),
to file a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”)), relating to all Transfer Restricted Securities, and
(y) shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to 90 days after the Filing Deadline (such
90th day being the “Effectiveness Deadline”).
If, after the Company has
filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above, the Company is required
to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable law or
Commission regulations, rules or policy (i.e., clause (a)(i)(A) or (B) above), then the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Company shall
remain obligated to file any necessary amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement prior to the Filing Deadline and meet
the Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y).
To the extent necessary to
ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof entitled
to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof,
the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously
effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and
in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced
from time to time, until the expiration of the applicable period referred to in Rule 144 (but in any event until the first anniversary
of the issue date of the Notes) (as extended pursuant to Section 6(d)), or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer
Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto.
(b) Provision
by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities
may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until
such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 20 Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, (x) the information
specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement
or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus included therein, (y) an agreement to update such information, from time to time, as required
or appropriate, and (z) an agreement to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements in connection with the offer and sale of
Transfer Restricted Securities. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected
shall be entitled to Special Interest pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such information
and agreements. Each selling Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the information
previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading.
Section 5. SPECIAL
INTEREST
If: (i) any Registration
Statement required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii) any such
Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the
Exchange Offer has not been Consummated within 30 Business Days of the applicable Effectiveness Deadline or (iv) any Registration
Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or usable in connection
with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through
(iv), a “Registration Default”), then the Company hereby jointly and severally agrees to pay to each Holder
of Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby “Special Interest” in an amount equal to $0.05 per week
per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder for each week or portion thereof that the Registration
Default continues for the period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default until all Registration Defaults have
been cured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (ii) above, (3) upon
Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (iii) above, or (4) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement (or a supplement to the prospectus included in any such Registration Statement,
if applicable,) that causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement) to again
be declared effective or made usable, in the case of (iv) above, the Special Interest payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted
Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, shall cease.
All accrued Special Interest
shall be paid to the Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture, on each Interest Payment
Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which Special Interest
are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of the Company to pay Special Interest with respect to securities
shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.
Section 6. REGISTRATION
PROCEDURES
(a) Exchange
Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (x) comply with all applicable provisions
of Section 6(c) below, (y) use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of
Exchange Securities by Broker-Dealers that tendered in the Exchange Offer any Offered Securities that such Broker-Dealer acquired for
its own account as a result of its market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Offered Securities acquired directly
from the Company or any of its Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and (z) comply
with all of the following provisions:
(i) If,
following the date hereof, there has been announced a change in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the Exchange
Offer that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted
by applicable federal law, the Company hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission or the
staff of the Commission allowing the Company to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company hereby
agrees to pursue the issuance of such a no-action letter or decision to the Commission staff level. In connection with the foregoing,
the Company hereby agrees to take all such other actions as may be requested by the Commission or otherwise required by the Commission
in connection with the issuance of such decision, including without limitation (A) participating in telephonic conferences with
the Commission, (B) delivering to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases,
if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursuing a resolution
(which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff; provided that this Section 6(a)(i) shall not restrict or limit
the Company from complying with the requirements of Section 4, including filing and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause
to be made effective a Shelf Registration Statement before obtaining a no-action letter or other decision or resolution from the Commission
or the staff of the Commission.
(ii) As
a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation,
any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a
written representation to the Company (which may be contained in the Letter of Transmittal or Agent’s Message contemplated by the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in,
and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange
Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business.
As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the
Exchange Securities shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for
Offered Securities acquired directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy as in effect
on the date of such acknowledgment and agreement, rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc.
(available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s
letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (including, if applicable, any no-action
letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements
of the Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective
registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K.
(iii) Prior
to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall, upon request of the Commission, provide a supplemental
letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company is registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission
enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available
June 5, 1991) as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and,
if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, (B) including a representation that the Company has
not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the Exchange Securities to be received in the Exchange
Offer and that, to the best of the Company’s information and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring
the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the
distribution of the Exchange Securities received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking or representation required by
the Commission as set forth in any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.
(b) Shelf
Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall:
(i) comply
with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit
the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as
indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company will
prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Act, which
form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution
thereof within the time periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof, and
(ii) issue,
upon the request of any Holder or purchaser of Offered Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement,
Exchange Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities sold pursuant to
the Shelf Registration Statement and surrendered to the Company for cancellation; the Company shall register Exchange Securities on the
Shelf Registration Statement for this purpose and issue the Exchange Securities to the purchaser(s) of securities subject to the
Shelf Registration Statement in the names as such purchaser(s) shall designate.
(c) General
Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company shall:
(i) use
all commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements
for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any
such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state
any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading or
(B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the
Company shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus curing such defect,
and, if Commission review is required of any such amendment, use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be declared
effective as soon as practicable;
(ii) prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary
to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may be; cause
the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424 and 430A, as applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the
provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period
in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement
to the Prospectus;
(iii) advise
each Holder promptly and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed, and, with respect to any applicable Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for
amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto,
(C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act
or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale
in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, and (D) of the existence of any fact
or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment
or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes
in the Registration Statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or that requires the making of any additions to
or changes in the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided that any notice required pursuant to this Section 6(c)(iii) shall be provided by the Company on
its behalf and on behalf of the Guarantor. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification
or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company shall use
all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;
(iv) subject
to Section 6(c)(i), if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare
a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file
any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v) furnish
to each Holder in connection with such exchange or sale, if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement
or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents
incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), which documents, upon such Holders’ request,
will be subject to the review and comment of such Holders in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business
Days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by reference) to which such Holders shall reasonably object within
five Business Days after the receipt thereof. A Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration
Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading
or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Act;
(vi) promptly
prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus in connection
with such exchange or sale, if any, provide copies of such document to each Holder, make the Company’s representatives available
for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such document prior to the
filing thereof as such Holders may reasonably request;
(vii) make
available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each Holder and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders at the offices at
which such information normally is kept during normal business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents of
the Company and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
Holder, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the
filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness;
(viii) if
requested by any Holders in connection with such exchange or sale, promptly include in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant
to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such Holders may reasonably request to have included therein,
including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities; and
make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified
of the matters to be included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
(ix) furnish
to each Holder in connection with such exchange or sale, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed
with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including, upon request, all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits
(including exhibits incorporated therein by reference);
(x) deliver
to each Holder without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement
thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; the Company hereby consents to the use (in accordance with law) of the Prospectus and
any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;
(xi) upon
the request of any Holder, enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements) and make such representations and warranties
and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to any applicable Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by any Holder
in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any applicable Registration Statement. In connection therewith, the Company shall:
(A) upon
request of any Holder, furnish (or, in the case of paragraphs (2) and (3), use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be
furnished) to each Holder, upon the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement:
(1) a
certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of the Company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchaser,
including such matters as such Holders may reasonably request;
(2) opinions,
dated the date of effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, of counsel for the Company, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Initial Purchaser and counsel for the Initial Purchaser, to the effect set forth in Exhibit A, Exhibit B
and Exhibit C to each of the Purchase Agreements and such other similar matters as such Holders may reasonably request;
(3) a
customary comfort letter, dated the date of effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, from the independent accountants of
the Company, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection
with underwritten offerings, and affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 8(i) of
each of the Purchase Agreements, provided that any Holder so requesting a comfort letter confirms in writing to the independent public
accountants from whom such comfort letter is requested, that it is of the class of persons entitled to receive a comfort letter under
applicable accounting standards or pronouncements; and
(B) deliver
such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the selling Holders to evidence compliance with clause (A) above
and with any customary conditions contained in the any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to this clause (xi);
(xii) prior
to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the
registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
selling Holders may reasonably request (which, if the Company so elects, may be effected by counsel designated by the Company) and do
any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register or qualify
as a foreign corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits
or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not
now so subject;
(xiii) in
connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer Restricted Securities,
cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities
to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and to register such Transfer Restricted Securities in such denominations and such
names as the selling Holders may request at least two Business Days prior to such sale of Transfer Restricted Securities;
(xiv) use
all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement
to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers
thereof to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in clause (xii) above;
(xv) obtain
a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement covering such Transfer
Restricted Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which
are in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company;
(xvi) otherwise
use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally
available to its security holders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings
statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 under the Act (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act);
(xvii) cause
the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA, if not already so qualified, not later than the effective date of the first Registration
Statement required by this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to
the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other
forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; and
(xviii) provide
promptly to each Holder, upon request, each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act.
(d) Restrictions
on Holders. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in Section 6(c)(iii)(C) or
any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof (in each case,
a “Suspension Notice”), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until (i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the
Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus (in each case, the “Recommencement Date”). Each Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees
that it will either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession which
have been replaced by the Company with more recently dated Prospectuses (or supplements or amendments thereto) or (ii) deliver to
the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of
the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The time
period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended
by a number of days equal to the number of days in the period from and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice to the
Recommencement Date.
Section 7. REGISTRATION
EXPENSES
All expenses incident to the
Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether a Registration Statement
becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses
of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates
for the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone;
(iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the
Exchange Securities on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and (vi) all
fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort
letters required by or incident to such performance).
The Company will, in any event,
bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the
Company.
Anything contained herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not have any obligation whatsoever in respect of any brokerage commissions, dealers’
selling concessions, transfer taxes or, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, any other selling expenses incurred in connection
herewith or the Exchange Offer or sale of Transfer Restricted Notes, Offered Securities or Exchange Securities.
Section 8. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) Indemnification
by Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and each Person, if any, who controls
such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, (including without limitation, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection
with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement,
preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) provided by the Company to any Holder or any prospective
purchaser of Exchange Securities or registered Offered Securities, or arising out of any omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they
were made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by an untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing
to the Company by any of the Holders.
(b) Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act) the Company to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company set forth in section (a) above, but
only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in any
Registration Statement. In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder be liable or responsible
for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities
and (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
(c) Notice.
In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or
8(b) (the “indemnified party”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying person”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall assume the
defense of such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all fees
and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c),
but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided
below, shall be at the expense of the Holder). Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action
and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless
(i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying
party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the
named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and
the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume
the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with
any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations
or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated
in writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in
the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified
party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action effected
with its written consent; provided that such consent was not unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to,
any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution
may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes
an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the subject matter of such
action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of
the indemnified party.
(d) Contribution.
To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand,
and the Holders, on the other hand, from their sale of Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other
hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand,
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by the Holder, on the
other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments referred to above
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably
incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.
The Company and each Holder
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation
(even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as
a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed
to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person,
if any, who controls such Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
received by such Holder with respect to the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the
amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are
several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint.
Section 9. RULE
144A AND RULE 144
Icahn Enterprises agrees with
each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which Icahn Enterprises (i) is
not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial
owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted
Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order
to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15
(d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to Rule 144.
Section 10. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Remedies.
Notwithstanding Section 5, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under
Sections 3 and 4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchaser or the Holders for which there is no adequate
remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure,
the Initial Purchaser or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations
under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at
law would be adequate.
(b) No
Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its
securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
The Company has not previously entered into, and is not currently a party to, any agreement granting any registration rights with respect
to its securities to any Person that would require such securities to be included in any Registration Statement filed hereunder. The rights
granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the
Company’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.
(c) Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures
from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 10(c)(i), the
