AND CREATION, FORMS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NOTES

Section 2.01 Application of this First Supplemental Indenture. Notwithstanding any other provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, including the covenants set forth herein, are expressly and solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes established by this First Supplemental Indenture. The Notes constitute a separate series of Securities as provided in Section 3.01 of the Indenture.

Section 2.02 Creation of the Notes. In accordance with Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the Issuers hereby create the Notes as separate series of their Securities issued pursuant to the Indenture. The Notes shall be issued initially in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000.

Section 2.03 Global Notes. The Notes shall each be issued in the form of a global Security, duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee, which shall be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of "Cede & Co.," as the nominee of the Depository. The Depository Trust Company initially shall serve as Depository for the Notes. So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a global Security, the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes represented by such global Security for all purposes under the Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture and under such Notes. Ownership of beneficial interests in such global Security shall be shown on, and transfers thereof will be effective only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or Persons that hold interests through participants (with respect to beneficial interests of beneficial owners).

Section 2.04 Terms and Conditions of the Notes.

The Notes shall be governed by all the terms and conditions of the Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture. In particular, the following provisions shall be terms of the Notes:

(a) Title and Conditions of the Notes. The title of the Notes shall be as specified in the Recitals; and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be unlimited.

(b) Stated Maturity. The Notes shall mature, and the principal of the Notes shall be due and payable in Dollars to the Holders thereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on October 30, 2019 (the "Maturity Date").

(c) Payment of Principal and Interest; Additional Amounts. The Notes shall bear interest at 6.25% per annum, from and including September 15, 2014, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined hereafter) on which interest has been paid or duly provided for to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. Interest shall also be paid on overdue principal, and, to the extent lawful, overdue installments of interest at the applicable interest rate for the Notes. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30day months. Interest on the Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears in Dollars on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30 of each year, commencing on October 30, 2014 (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date" for the purposes of the Notes issued under this First Supplemental Indenture). Payments of interest shall be made to the Person in whose name a Note (or predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on January 15, April 15, July 15 or October 15 (whether or not that date is a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (each such date, a "Record Date" for the purposes of the Notes issued under this First Supplemental Indenture). All payments in respect of the Notes shall include Additional Amounts as and to the extent set forth in Article VII of this First Supplemental Indenture. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and/or principal, as the case may be, to be paid on such date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date of the Notes, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day.

(d) Registration and Form; Denomination. The Notes shall be issuable as registered securities without coupons as provided in Section 2.03 of this Article II. The form of the Notes shall be as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Notes shall be issued and may be transferred only in minimum denomination of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(e) Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The provisions for legal defeasance in Section 4.02(b) of the Indenture, and the provisions for covenant defeasance in Section 4.02(c) of the Indenture, shall be applicable to the Notes. If the Issuers shall effect a covenant defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.02(c) of the Indenture, (1) the Issuers shall cease to have any obligation to comply with the covenants and agreements set forth in Articles IV and V of this First Supplemental Indenture and Section 7.04 of the Indenture and (2) the Events of Default set forth in Sections 5.01(g) and 5.01(h) of the Indenture and Section 6.02(b) of this First Supplemental Indenture, shall no longer constitute Events of Default for purposes of the Notes.

(f) Further Issuance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Indenture, the Issuers may, from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holders, create and issue further securities having the same interest rate, maturity and other terms (except for the issue date, the public offering price and the first Interest Payment Date) as, ranking equally and ratably with, the Notes. Additional Notes issued in this manner shall be consolidated with and shall form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes, including for purposes of voting and redemptions, and shall be fungible with the Notes for United States federal income tax purposes or will have a separate CUSIP. No such additional securities may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

(h) Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes. The Issuers may redeem the Notes, at their option, at any time in whole but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice (which notice will be irrevocable) by the Partnership, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), in the event that the Partnership determines in good faith that either Issuer has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes, Additional Amounts and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to such Issuer (including making payment through a Paying Agent located in another jurisdiction), as a result of:

(1) a change in or an amendment to the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Specified Tax Jurisdiction affecting taxation, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of the Indenture; or

(2) any change in or amendment to any official position of a taxing authority in any Specified Tax Jurisdiction regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of the Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which such Issuer would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due. At least three (3) Business Days before the Partnership delivers notice of redemption of the Notes as described above, the Partnership will deliver to the Trustee and Paying Agent (a) an Officer's Certificate stating that the Issuers are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the applicable Issuer to so redeem have occurred and (b) an opinion of a nationally recognized independent legal counsel that the applicable Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of the circumstances referred to in clause (1) or (2) of the preceding paragraph.

The Trustee and Paying Agent will accept and will be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Officer's Certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, in which case they will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

Except to the extent inconsistent with the foregoing, all provisions of Article II of the Indenture shall apply to any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.01.

Section 3.02 Open Market Repurchases. Notwithstanding any provision hereunder or in the Indenture to the contrary, the Partnership and its Affiliates may purchase Notes from investors who are willing to sell from time to time, either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Notes that the Partnership or any of its Affiliates purchase may, at the Partnership's discretion, be held, resold or canceled.

ARTICLE IV

CHANGE OF CONTROL

Section 4.01 Change of Control.

(a) If a Change of Control occurs at any time, Holders will have the right, at their option, to require the Issuers to purchase for cash any or all of the Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The price the Issuers are required to pay (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") is equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Change of Control Purchase Date (unless the Change of Control Purchase Date is after a record date and on or prior to the interest payment date to which such record date relates, in which case the Issuers will instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the Holder on such record date and the Change of Control Purchase Price will be equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased). The "Change of Control Purchase Date" will be a date specified by the Partnership that is not less than 20 or more than 35 calendar days following the date of the Change of Control notice as described below. Any Notes purchased by the Issuers will be paid for in cash. A "Change of Control" will be deemed to have occurred at the time after the Notes are originally issued if:

(1) The General Partner or an affiliate of the General Partner ceases to be the general partner of the Partnership;

(2) Dynagas Holding Ltd. ceases to own, directly or indirectly, a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights in the General Partner; or

(3) Dynagas Holding Ltd. ceases to own, directly or indirectly, a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of the Partnership.

(b) On or before the 30th day after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Partnership will provide to all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control and of the resulting purchase right. Such notice shall state, among other things: (i) the events causing a Change of Control; (ii) the date of the Change of Control; (iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right; (iv) the Change of Control Purchase Price; (v) the Change of Control Purchase Date; (vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent; and (vii) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Issuers to purchase their Notes.

(c) Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Partnership will publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish the information on the Partnership's website or through such other public medium as the Partnership may select.

(d) To exercise the Change of Control purchase right, Holders must deliver, on or before the third Business Day (or as otherwise provided in the notice described in Section 4.01(b)) immediately preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Notes to be purchased, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written purchase notice and the form entitled "Form of Change of Control Purchase Notice" on the reverse side of the Notes duly completed, to the Paying Agent. The purchase notice must state: (i) if certificated, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for purchase or if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate Depository procedures; (ii) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, which must be $1,000 or a multiple thereof; and (iii) that the Notes are to be purchased by the Issuers pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and the Indenture.

(e) Holders may withdraw any purchase notice (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date. The notice of withdrawal shall state: (i) the principal amount of the withdrawn Notes; (ii) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes, or if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate Depository procedures; and (iii) the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the purchase notice.

(f) On each Change of Control Purchase Date, the Issuers will, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control offer made by the Issuers, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent at least one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control offer made by the Issuers and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. If the Paying Agent holds money or securities sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price of the Notes on the Change of Control Purchase Date, then: (i) the Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes is made or whether or not the Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent); and (ii) all other rights of the Holder will terminate (other than the right to receive the Change of Control Purchase Price).

(g) In connection with any purchase offer pursuant to a Change of Control purchase notice, the Issuers will, if required, comply with the provisions of the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable to them. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their respective obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.

(h) No Notes may be purchased at the option of Holders thereof upon a Change of Control if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date.

ARTICLE VII

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

Section 7.01 Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of either Issuer under or with respect to the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter "Taxes") unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of the Republic of Marshall Islands or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or any other jurisdiction in which either Issuer (including any successor entity) is organized or is otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made (including, without limitation, the jurisdiction of each Paying Agent) (each a "Specified Tax Jurisdiction"), will at any time be required to be made from any payments made under or with respect to the Notes, such Issuer will pay such additional amounts (or the "Additional Amounts") as may be necessary so that the net amount received in respect of such payments by a Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to:

(1)

any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes having any present or former connection with the Specified Tax Jurisdiction (other than the mere acquisition, ownership, holding, enforcement or receipt of payment in respect of the Notes);

(2)

any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(3)

any Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under, or with respect to, the Notes;

(4)

any Taxes imposed as a result of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, to complete, execute and deliver to the Partnership any form or document to the extent applicable to such Holder or beneficial owner that may be required by law or by reason of administration of such law and which is reasonably requested in writing to be delivered to the Partnership in order to enable the Issuers to make payments on the Notes without deduction or withholding for Taxes, or with deduction or withholding of a lesser amount, which form or document will be delivered within 60 days of a written request therefor by the Partnership;

(5)

any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the beneficiary of the payment having presented a Note for payment (in cases in which presentation is required) more than 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);

(6)

any Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment by the Issuers to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note;

(7)

any Taxes that are required to be deducted or withheld on a payment pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive; or

(8)

any combination of items (1) through (7) above.

(b) If either Issuer becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes, the Partnership will deliver to the Trustee and Paying Agent at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Partnership will notify the Trustee and Paying Agent promptly thereafter but in no event later than two Business Days prior to the date of payment) an Officer's Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount so payable. The Officer's Certificate must also set forth any other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee and Paying Agent will be entitled to rely solely on such Officer's Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Partnership will provide the Trustee and Paying Agent with documentation evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

(c) Each Issuer will make all withholdings and deductions required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority on a timely basis in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable, the Partnership will provide the Trustee and Paying Agent with an official receipt or, if official receipts are not obtainable, other documentation evidencing the payment of the Taxes so withheld or deducted. Upon request, copies of those receipts or other documentation, as the case may be, will be made available by the Trustee and Paying Agent to the Holders of the Notes.

(d) Whenever in the Indenture there is referenced, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or any other amount payable under, or with respect to, the Notes, such reference will be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this heading to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(e) Each Issuer will indemnify a Holder, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes paid by such Holder to a governmental authority of a Specified Tax Jurisdiction, on or with respect to any payment by on or account of any obligation of such Issuer to withhold or deduct an amount on account of Taxes for which such Issuer would have been obliged to pay Additional Amounts hereunder and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Partnership by a Holder will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Each Issuer will pay any present or future stamp, court, issue, registration, value added, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any Specified Tax Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, the Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereof, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer Taxes (each such tax, a "Note Issuance Tax"), and such Issuer will indemnify the Holders for any such Note Issuance Taxes paid by such Holders.

Section 7.02 Obligations to Survive. The obligations described in Section 7.01 of this First Supplemental Indenture will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor person to the Partnership is organized or any political subdivision or authority or agency thereof or therein.

6.25% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2019

$ No.:

DYNAGAS LNG PARTNERS LP, a limited partnership duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of The Marshall Islands (the "Partnership"), and DYNAGAS FINANCE INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the "Co-Issuer" and, together with the Partnership, the "Issuers"; each of which terms includes any successor entity under the Indenture referred to below), for value received, hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to [ ˜ ] / [insert if Global Security: Cede & Co.], or registered assigns, the principal sum [of $[ ˜ ] ([ ˜ ] DOLLARS)] [insert if Global Security: set forth on Schedule I annexed hereto] on October 30, 2019, and to pay interest thereon from September 15, 2014 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30 in each year, commencing October 30, 2014, at the rate of 6.25% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to such next Business Day. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be January 15, April 15, July 15 or October 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest which is payable but not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder hereof on the relevant Record Date by virtue or having been such Holder, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a subsequent special record date (which shall be at least 10 days before the payment date) for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Partnership, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note (including, without limitation, any purchase price relating to a Change of Control) will be made at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Partnership, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, further, that payment to DTC or any successor depository may be made by wire transfer to the account designated by DTC or such successor depository in writing.

This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited (subject to exceptions provided in the Indenture) to the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000.

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

The Notes may not be redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity, except as described in Section 3.01 of the First Supplemental Indenture. The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Issuers to purchase all or a portion of such Holder's Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuers and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series issued under the Indenture at any time by the Issuers and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Issuers with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuers, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note, at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

Exhibit A - Page 3

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and in this Note, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Partnership maintained for that purpose in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Partnership and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in the denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, and in this Note, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series in different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Partnership may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than in certain cases provided in the Indenture.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuers, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture contains provisions whereby (i) the Issuers may be discharged from their obligations with respect to the Notes (subject to certain exceptions) or (ii) the Issuers may be released from their obligations under specified covenants and agreements in the Indenture, in each case if the Issuers irrevocably deposit with the Trustee money or Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes of this series, and satisfies certain other conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made or instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in said State.

All terms used in this Note without definition that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
