(B) TO A PERSON REASONABLY BELIEVED TO BE A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (B) ABOVE, THE ISSUERS, THE TRUSTEE AND THE REGISTRAR RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 2.05(b)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) for transfers of portions of a Global Note in certificated form made upon request of a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with Applicable Procedures and in compliance with this Section 2.05(b).

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Issuers initially appoint The Depository Trust Company to act as the “Depositary” with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.

If:

(x) the Depositary (i) notifies the Issuers at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (ii) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days; or

(y) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default and a beneficial owner of any Note requests through the Depositary that its beneficial interest therein be issued in a Certificated Note,

the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver Certificated Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.

Certificated Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Certificated Notes to the Persons in whose names such Certificated Notes are so registered.

At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been exchanged, canceled, repurchased or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Applicable Procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes, exchanged, canceled, repurchased or transferred to a transferee who receives Certificated Notes therefor or any Certificated Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

None of the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. None of the Issuers and the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any act or omission of the Depositary.

All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to, or upon the order of, the registered Holder(s) (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note).

Except as expressly provided herein, the rights of the beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(c) If any shares of Common Stock are issued or delivered upon exchange of the Notes, any stock certificate representing such shares of Common Stock shall bear a legend in the following form (unless (x) such shares of Common Stock have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, (y) such shares of Common Stock have been transferred pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act or (z) otherwise agreed by PBF Energy in writing, with notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for the Common Stock):

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF PBF ENERGY INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY WAS ISSUED OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

(A) TO PBF ENERGY INC. OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR

(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

(C) TO A PERSON REASONABLY BELIEVED TO BE A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

(D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 (IF AVAILABLE) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (D) ABOVE, PBF ENERGY INC. AND THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE COMMON STOCK RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

(d) In addition to bearing any applicable legend set forth in this Section 2.05, any shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon the exchange of a Note that is purchased or owned by an Affiliate of PBF Energy (or any Person who was an Affiliate of PBF Energy at any time during the three months preceding) may not be resold by such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such shares of Common Stock no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act). The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among members of, or participants in, the Depositary or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(e) Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuers in their discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Issuers, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuers, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Issuers and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. Upon the issuance of any substitute Note, the Issuers or the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature, is subject to Redemption, or has been surrendered for repurchase or is about to be exchanged in accordance with Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuers may, in their sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or exchange or authorize the exchange of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or exchange shall furnish to the Issuers, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to any Paying Agent or Exchange Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such payment or exchange, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Issuers, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Exchange Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuers, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Certificated Notes, the Issuers may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Issuers, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Certificated Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Issuers. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Certificated Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Certificated Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Issuers pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Issuers at their own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Certificated Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08 Cancellation of Notes Paid, Exchanged, Etc. The Issuers shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase (but excluding Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives that are not physically settled), registration of transfer or exchange, or exchange for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 14.02(j)), if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Issuers’ agents or Subsidiaries), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding for purposes of this Indenture upon their payment, redemption, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange, or exchange for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 14.02(j)). All Notes delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall be cancelled promptly by it. No Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes cancelled, except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Issuers or any of the Issuers’ Subsidiaries shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a purchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee may use “CUSIP” numbers in notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that the Trustee shall have no liability for any defect in the “CUSIP” numbers as they appear on any Note, notice or elsewhere, and provided, further, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.10 Additional Notes; Purchases. (a) The Issuers may, subject to applicable stock exchange rules, from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Holders, issue additional Notes under this Indenture with the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes issued on the Issue Date (other than differences in the issue date, the issue price, the date from which interest will accrue, interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes, the initial Special Interest Payment Date (as applicable) and restrictions on transfer in respect of such additional Notes, including the date by which any restrictive legends are required to be removed) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers or have no CUSIP number. Such Notes issued on the Issue Date and the additional Notes shall rank pari passu and ratably and shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.06, as the Trustee shall reasonably request.

(b) The Issuers or PBF Energy may, to the extent permitted by law and without the consent of Holders, directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Issuers), repurchase or purchase, as the case may be, Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Issuers or PBF Energy or their respective Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Issuers shall cause any Notes so repurchased (but excluding Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives that are not physically settled) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08, and they will no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon this repurchase.

(ii) the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuers to the Trustee under Section 7.06 and, if cash or shares of Common Stock shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(i)(B), Section 4.04 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

ARTICLE 4

Section 4.06 Rule 144A Information Requirement; Reporting; and Registration Default Special Interest. (a) For as long as any Notes are outstanding hereunder, (i) the Issuers will and (ii) PBF Energy will, for so long as any shares of Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes would, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, in each case, furnish to the Trustee and, upon written request, furnish to any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes or shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exchange of Notes the information with respect to the Issuers or PBF Energy, as applicable, required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) to facilitate the resale of such Notes or shares of Common

Stock, as the case may be, pursuant to Rule 144A (as such rule may be amended from time to time); provided that any such information relating to the Issuers or PBF Energy, as the case may be, will be deemed furnished if during the preceding 12 months (i) PBF Energy has filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K or other report or filing (which may include a registration statement) prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Commission, in each case, containing information regarding PBF Energy of the nature and type contemplated by Rule 144A(d)(4) and/or (ii) PBF Holding has filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K or other report or filing (which may include a registration statement) prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Commission, in each case, containing information regarding PBF Energy of the nature and type contemplated by Rule 144A(d)(4), and in lieu of the information contemplated by clause (ii), will be deemed satisfied with respect to information regarding the Issuers so long as (x) such report or filing contains such required information relating to PBF Energy and (y) the combined or consolidated financial statements of PBF Energy included in such report or filing consolidate or otherwise include the accounts of PBF Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries, and explain in reasonable detail any differences between the information relating to PBF Energy, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the other hand.

(b) The Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee any documents or reports that PBF Energy is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or that PBF Holding voluntarily files with the SEC, within 15 days after the same (i) are required to be filed with the Commission (after giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 or any successor rule under the Exchange Act), in the case of PBF Energy, or (ii) would be required to be filed with the Commission, if PBF Holding was required to file such reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (after giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 or any successor rule under the Exchange Act that would be available in such case), in the case of PBF Holding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuers shall in no event be required to file with, otherwise provide or disclose to, the Trustee or any Holder any information for which PBF Energy or PBF Holding, as applicable, is requesting (assuming such request has not been denied), or has received, confidential treatment from the SEC. Documents or report that PBF Energy or PBF Holding, as applicable, files with the Commission via the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed furnished to the Trustee for purposes of, and in full satisfaction of, the Issuers’ obligations under this Section 4.06(a) as of the time such document is filed via EDGAR (or such successor).

(c) Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in this Section 4.06 to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuers’ or PBF Energy’s compliance with their respective covenants under this Indenture or the Notes. The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, such compliance or to determine whether any reports or other documents have been filed with the Commission, filed via the Commission’s EDGAR system, posted on PBF Energy’s website or discussed on any conference call.

(d) Subject to Section 4.06(f) and Section 6.03(b), if a Registration Default occurs under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers shall pay the Registration Default Special Interest in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

(e) [Reserved.]

(f) Registration Default Special Interest will be payable in arrears on each Special Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes and shall be in addition to any Special Interest that may accrue, at the Issuers’ election, as the sole remedy relating to the failure to comply with the Issuers’ obligations under Section 4.06(b). In no event, however, will Special Interest accrue on any day (taking into consideration any Special Interest payable as described in Section 4.06(d) or Section 6.03(a)) at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Special Interest.

(g) If Special Interest is payable by the Issuers pursuant to Section 4.06(d) or Section 6.03(a), the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Special Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Special Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Special Interest is payable and the Trustee shall not have any duty to verify the Issuers calculation of any Special Interest.

Section 4.07 No Rights as Stockholders or Unitholders. Holders of Notes, as such, will not have any rights as stockholders of PBF Energy or as unitholders or stockholders, as the case may be, of the Issuers (including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on Common Stock).

Subject to this Article 5, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Authenticating Agent and to the Trustee, each Agent and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder: (a) the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise. ; and (b) that in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall 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 Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of one counsel) incurred by the Trustee, any Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 5.01.

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee, any Agent or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) 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) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall 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 under the Guarantees.

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuers for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuers become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuers’ assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case

may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be an unsecured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any.

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 5.02 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 Guarantee of such Guarantor 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 Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as 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 5, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 5.03 Execution and Delivery.

To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 5.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 5.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Notes are authenticated as provided hereunder, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. If required by Section 5.07 hereof, the Issuers shall cause any newly created or acquired Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 5.07 hereof and this Article 5, to the extent applicable.

Section 5.04 Subrogation.

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Issuers in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all obligations then due and payable by the Issuers under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

Section 5.05 Benefits Acknowledged.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 5.06 Release of Guarantees.

Each Guarantee by a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(1)(a) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary, or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case, to a Person that is not the Issuers or a Guarantor, if such sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, and in each case, provided that all Guarantees and other obligations of such Guarantor in respect of the Existing Senior Notes or other Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Issuers terminate upon consummation of such transaction;

(b) the release or discharge of the Guarantee by such Guarantor of all its indebtedness under the Existing Senior Notes and/or other Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Issuers that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee;

(c) the first date when no Existing Senior Notes or other Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Issuers are outstanding or such Guarantor is released from all of its obligations as a guarantor under the Existing Senior Notes and such other Capital Markets Indebtedness, if any;

(d) the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(e) all remaining obligations to make payments or deliver other consideration with respect to all Notes are discharged in full after the same has become due; or

(f) the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(2) the Issuers delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Section 5.07 Future Guarantors.

If any Subsidiary of PBF Holding, other than PBF Finance, guarantees any Existing Senior Notes or any other Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Issuers, then the Issuers shall, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than 30 calendar days after such Subsidiary guarantees any such indebtedness, cause such Subsidiary to execute an amended or supplemental indenture causing such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor under this Indenture.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01 Events of Default. The following events shall be “Events of Default” with respect to the Notes:

(a) default in the payment of principal of any Note when due (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price) and payable on the Maturity Date, upon any required repurchase, upon a Redemption, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

(b) default in any payment of Special Interest, if any, on any Note when due and payable, and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(c) the Issuers’ failure to comply with their obligation to exchange the Notes in accordance with this Indenture upon exercise of a Holder’s exchange right and such failure continues for five days;

(d) the Issuers’ failure to issue a Fundamental Change Company Notice in accordance with Section 15.02(c), a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Company Notice in accordance with Section 14.03(a) or a Specified Corporate Event Notice in accordance with Section 14.01(b)(ii), in each case, when due, and such failure continues for five days;

(e) the failure of PBF Holding or PBF Energy to comply with their respective obligations under Article 11;

(f) the failure by PBF Energy, either Issuer or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to comply with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a Default referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 6.01 contained in the Indenture or the Notes);

(g) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by PBF Holding or any of its Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by PBF Holding or any of its Subsidiaries, other than indebtedness owed to PBF Holding or any of its Subsidiaries, whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if both:

(i) such default either (x) results from the failure to pay any principal of such indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or (y) relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such indebtedness causing such indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and

(ii) the principal amount of such indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $100.0 million or more at any one time outstanding;

provided, however, that if, prior to any acceleration of the Notes, (i) any such payment default is cured or waived, (ii) any such acceleration is rescinded, or (iii) such indebtedness is repaid during the 30 Business Day period commencing upon the end of any applicable grace period for such payment default or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, any Default or Event of Default (but not any acceleration of the Notes) caused by such payment default or acceleration shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment, decree or applicable law;

(h) failure by any Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $100.0 million (other than any judgments covered by indemnities from indemnitors with corporate investment grade ratings or covered, directly or indirectly, by insurance policies issued by reputable and creditworthy insurance companies as determined in good faith by PBF Holding, in each case so long as such indemnitor or insurance company has been provided notice of the judgment and has not in writing disputed responsibility therefor or disclaimed coverage) which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgments have become final and, in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;

(i) PBF Energy, PBF Holding or any of PBF Holding’s Significant Subsidiaries or any group of PBF Holding’s Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for PBF Holding and its Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of PBF Holding, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (1) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; (2) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy Law; (3) consents to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or (4) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

(j) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against PBF Energy, PBF Holding or any of PBF Holding’s Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of PBF Holding that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuers and their Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of PBF Energy, the Issuers or any Subsidiary of PBF Holding that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of PBF Holding that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of PBF Holding that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

(ii) appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of PBF Energy, PBF Holding or any of PBF Holding’s Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of PBF Holding that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuers and their Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of PBF Energy, PBF Holding or any Subsidiary of PBF Holding that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of PBF Holding that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuers and their Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of PBF Energy, PBF Holding or any Subsidiary of PBF Holding that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of PBF Holding that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuers and their Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or

(k) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, as the case may be, denies that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture;

Section 6.02 Acceleration. In case one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) with respect to PBF Energy or the Issuers), either the Trustee by notice in writing to the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuers and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) with respect to PBF Energy or the Issuers occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the judgment of the Trustee, acceleration is not in the interest of the Holders of the Notes.

For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the manner in which any Default or Event of Default can be cured,

(i) a Default consisting of a failure to send a notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall be cured upon the sending of such notice;

(ii) a Default in making any payment on (or delivering any other consideration in respect of) any Note shall be cured upon the delivery, in accordance with this Indenture, of such payment (or other consideration) together, if applicable, with Default Interest thereon; and

(iii) a Default that is (or, after notice, passage of time or both, would be) a Reporting Event of Default shall be cured upon the filing of the relevant report or reports giving rise to such Default (it being understood that any report filed with the Commission through the EDGAR system, or posted on PBF Holding’s website, as applicable, shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee at the time such report is so filed or posted);

In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) if a Default that is not an Event of Default is cured or waived before such Default would have constituted an Event of Default, then no Event of Default shall result from such Default; (ii) the cure of any Event of Default shall not affect any acceleration that has occurred before such cure; and (iii) the cure of any Reporting Event of Default shall not affect the accrual of any Special Interest that accrues prior to the time of such cure. In addition, if an Event of Default is cured or waived before any related notice of acceleration is delivered, such Event of Default shall be deemed cured and the Notes shall not be subject to acceleration on account of such Event of Default. Nothing in the immediately preceding two sentences shall constitute a waiver of, or in any way limit, the right of the Trustee or any Holder to institute suit for any damages incurred as a result of any Default, even if such Default is subsequently cured.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (g) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose: (1) the indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or (2) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice of action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or (3) the Default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

Section 6.03 Special Interest for Reporting Event of Default.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Issuers elect, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure of PBF Energy or PBF Holding to comply with their reporting obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) (a “Reporting Event of Default”) shall, after the occurrence of such Reporting Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Special Interest on the Notes from the Issuers (subject to Section 4.06(f) and Section 6.03(b)) at a rate equal to:

(i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the period beginning on, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which such Event of Default is cured or validly waived and (y) the 180th day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurred; and

(ii) if such Reporting Event of Default has not been cured or validly waived prior to the 181st day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurred, 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the period beginning on, and including, the 181st day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurred and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which such Reporting Event of Default is cured or validly waived and (y) the 360th day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurred.

(b) Any Special Interest payable pursuant to Section 6.03(a) above shall be in addition to any Registration Default Special Interest that may accrue pursuant to Section 4.06(d). Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in no event, however, shall Special Interest accrue on any day (taking into consideration any Special Interest payable pursuant to Section 6.03(a) above, together with Registration Default Special Interest payable pursuant to Section 4.06(d)) at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Special Interest.

(c) If the Issuers elect to pay Special Interest pursuant to Section 6.03(a), such Special Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes and will accrue on all Notes then outstanding from, and including, the date on which the Reporting Event of Default relating to the failure of PBF Energy or PBF Holding to comply with their reporting obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) first occurs to, but not including, the 361st day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Reporting Event of Default is cured or waived by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding). On the 361st day after such Reporting Event of Default (if such Reporting Event of Default is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), such Special Interest will cease to accrue and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. In the event the Issuers do not elect to pay Special Interest following a Reporting Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.03, or the Issuers have elected to make such payment but do not pay the Special Interest when due, the Notes shall immediately be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.03 shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default.

(d) In order to elect to pay Special Interest as the sole remedy during the first 360 days after the occurrence of a Reporting Event of Default relating to the failure of PBF Energy or PBF Holding to comply with their reporting obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b), the Issuers must notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of such election on or before the Close of Business on the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurs. Upon the Issuers’ failure to timely give such notice or pay Special Interest, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.

Section 6.04 Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and the Notes have become due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02, the Issuers shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal (including the Redemption Price or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), satisfaction of the Exchange

Obligation with respect to all Notes that have been exchanged, and interest, if any, with (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) interest on any such overdue amounts, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06. If the Issuers shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Issuers under Bankruptcy Law, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuers, or the property of the Issuers, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers, or to the creditors or property of the Issuers, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable, issuable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee in respect of claims of the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees and expenses, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings 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, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, 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 such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver, rescission or annulment pursuant to Section 6.09 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuers, the Holders, and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuers, the Holders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.05 Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies and property, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

FIRST: to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee in all of its capacities under this Indenture, including its agents and counsel under Section 7.06;

SECOND: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, the Redemption Price (if applicable) and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (if applicable) of, and satisfaction of the Exchange Obligation with respect to all Notes that have been exchanged, and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes; and

THIRD: to the Issuers.

Section 6.06 Proceedings by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) or Special Interest, if any, when due, or the right to receive payment, issuance or delivery of the consideration due upon exchange of any Note, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(b) the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holders have offered, and if requested, provided the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of such security or indemnity; and

(e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder, it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such use prejudices the rights of another Holder or obtains a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 6.07 Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 6.08 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 6.09 Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders.

(a) Subject to the Trustee’s rights to receive security or indemnity from the relevant Holders as described herein, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any rule of law or with this Indenture, it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

(b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences hereunder except:

(i) a default in the payment of the principal (including any Redemption Price and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on the Notes;

(ii) a failure by the Issuers to deliver the consideration due upon exchange of the Notes; or

(iii) with respect to a Default or Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each affected Holder;

provided that, in the case of the rescission of any acceleration with respect to the Notes, (1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration) have been cured or waived and all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid.

Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.10 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (as provided in Section 7.02(j)), the Trustee shall send to all Holders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Note Register notice of such Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if it is not actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at such time, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after it becomes actually known to a Responsible Officer. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on any Note or a Default in the payment, issuance or delivery of the consideration due upon exchange, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 6.11 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable

attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 25% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Notes being redeemed or repurchased as provided in this Indenture) or accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on any Note on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the payment, issuance or delivery of consideration due upon exchange.

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section;

Section 7.03 No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc.

The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuers of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 7.05 Monies To Be Held in Trust. All monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received.

The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Issuers and the Trustee.

Section 7.06 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in writing between the Trustee and the Issuers, and the Issuers will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been caused by the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.06 shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents) in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including court costs) incurred without negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, a Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder or of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuers and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06). The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject to the effect of Section 6.05, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Issuers.

The Issuers need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee.

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Section 7.07 Officer’s Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct the part of the Trustee, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer’s Certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 7.08 Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act (as if the Trust Indenture Act were applicable hereto) to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.08, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7.

Section 7.09 Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Issuers and by mailing notice thereof to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Issuers, upon ten Business Days’ notice to the Issuers and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 7.11, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(a) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.13 within a reasonable time after written request therefor by the Issuers or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months;

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuers or by any such Holder, or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, the Issuers may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 7.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten days after notice to the Issuers of such nomination the Issuers object thereto. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after removal of the Trustee by the Holders, the Trustee may, at the expense of the Issuers, upon ten Business Days’ notice to the Issuers and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

(c) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall become effective upon (i) payment of all fees and expenses owing to the Trustee and (ii) acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.

Section 7.10 Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuers and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuers or of the successor trustee, the predecessor trustee shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuers shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such pursuant to this Indenture, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.10, each of the Issuers and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Issuers shall send or cause to be sent notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. If the Issuers fail to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Issuers.

Section 7.11 Succession by Merger, Etc. Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates of authentication shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 7.12 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Issuers. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuers (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than ten Business Days after the date any Officer actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in accordance with this Indenture in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 7.13 Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 7.14 Limitation on Trustee’s Liability. Except as provided in this Article, in accepting the trusts hereby created, the entities acting as Trustee are acting solely as Trustee hereunder and not in their individual capacity and, except as provided in this Article, all Persons having any claim against the Trustee by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or any Note shall look only to the Issuers for payment or satisfaction thereof.

ARTICLE 8

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

Section 8.01 Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (i) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (ii) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held, or (iii) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. Whenever the Issuers or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Issuers or the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 8.02 Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.

Section 8.03 Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Issuers, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Exchange Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Issuers or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and (subject to Section 2.03) accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on such Note, for exchange of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuers nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Exchange Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The sole registered holder of a Global Note shall be the Depositary or its nominee. All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or shares of Common Stock so paid, issued or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares issuable or deliverable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Issuers, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 8.04 Issuers-Owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Issuers or by any Affiliate of the Issuers shall be disregarded (from both the numerator and the denominator) and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuers to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

ARTICLE 14

EXCHANGE OF NOTES

Section 14.01 Exchange Privilege.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange all or any portion in an Authorized Denomination of such Note:

(i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding October 15, 2031, under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 14.01(b); and

(ii) on or after October 15, 2031, at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

in each case, at an initial exchange rate of 10.3306 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14.04 and, if applicable, Section 14.03, the “Exchange Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 14.02, the “Exchange Obligation”).

(b) (i) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding October 15, 2031, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes in an Authorized Denomination for exchange at any time during the five Business Day period after any ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with the procedures and conditions described below in this subsection (b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on each such Trading Day.

(A) The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Issuers) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes unless the Issuers have requested such determination, and the Issuers shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Issuers are acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Issuers shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price) unless a Holder of at least $5,000,000 principal amount of Notes requests in writing that the Issuers make such a determination and provides the Issuers with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on such Trading Day. At such time, the Issuers shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Issuers) to determine, or if the Issuers are acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Issuers shall determine, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day following the receipt of such evidence and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on such Trading Day.

(B) If the Trading Price condition has been met, the Issuers shall promptly so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing. If, at any time after the Trading Price condition has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on such Trading Day, the Issuers shall promptly so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing.

(C) If the Issuers do not, when it is required to, instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to (or, if the Issuers are acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, it does not) obtain bids, or if the Issuers give such instruction to the Bid Solicitation Agent and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination (or, if the Issuers are acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, it fails to make such determination), then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock and the Exchange Rate on each Trading Day of such failure.

(ii) If, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding October 15, 2031, PBF Energy elects to:

(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than any issuance pursuant to a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or

(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock assets, securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase securities (in each case, other than any distribution pursuant to a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan), which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by PBF Energy, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution,

then, in either case, the Issuers shall notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution (a “Specified Corporate Event Notice”). Once the Issuers have given such notice, the Holders may surrender all or any portion of their Notes in an Authorized Denomination for exchange at any time until the earlier of (1) the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and (2) PBF Energy’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place.

No Holder may exchange any of its Notes pursuant to this Section 14.01(b)(ii) if such Holder otherwise participates in such issuance or distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and as a result of holding Notes, without having to exchange its Notes as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the applicable Exchange Rate multiplied by (y) the number of Notes in the Authorized Denomination held by such Holder.

(iii) If, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding October 15, 2031:

(A) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change occurs;

(B) a transaction or event that constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs; or

then, in each case, the Holders may surrender all or any portion of their Notes in an Authorized Denomination for exchange at any time from or after the open of business on the Business Day immediately following the day PBF Energy publicly announces such transaction (even if such transaction has not yet occurred) until the Close of Business on the 35th Trading Day immediately following the actual effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction constitutes a Fundamental Change (other than a Fundamental Change for which the Issuers validly invoke the Adequate Cash Exchange Provisions), until the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

The Issuers shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the effective date of any such transaction as promptly as practicable following the date PBF Energy publicly announces such transaction.

(iv) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding October 15, 2031, for any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2026, if the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock for at least 5 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the first 20 Trading Days of such fiscal quarter exceeds 150% of the Exchange Price on each applicable Trading Day, then a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes in an Authorized Denomination for exchange at its option during the 30 Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the 21st Trading Day of such quarter.

(v) If the Issuers call any Notes for Redemption (whether for Optional Redemption or Cleanup Redemption) pursuant to Section 16.01, Holders may exchange all or any portion of their Notes called for Redemption (and only the Notes called for Redemption) at any time from, and including, the Redemption Notice Date until the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, or, if the Issuers fail to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Issuers pay or duly provide for the Redemption Price, even if the Notes are not otherwise exchangeable at such time.

If the Issuers elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes for an Optional Redemption as described under Section 16.01, and the Holder of any Note, or any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note, is reasonably not able to determine, before the 34th Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the relevant Redemption Date, whether such Note or beneficial interest is to be redeemed pursuant to such Optional Redemption, then such Holder or owner shall be entitled to exchange such Note or beneficial interest at any time before the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to such Redemption Date, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case such Holder or owner will be entitled to exchange such Note or beneficial interest until the Close of Business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for, and each such exchange will be deemed to be of a Note called for Optional Redemption.

If the Issuers elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes for an Optional Redemption, Holders of Notes not called for Optional Redemption will not be entitled to exchange such Notes on account of the Notice of Redemption and will not be entitled to an increased Exchange Rate on account of the Notice of Redemption, except in the limited circumstances set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph.

Section 14.02 Exchange Procedure; Settlement Upon Exchange.

(a) Subject to this Section 14.02, Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), upon exchange of any Note, the Issuers shall, at their election, pay or issue or deliver, as the case may be, to the exchanging Holder, in full satisfaction of their Exchange Obligation: (i) either cash (the “Cash Settlement”); or (ii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (the “Combination Settlement”), as set forth in this Section 14.02. In no event shall the Issuers elect Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount that is less than $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

(i) All exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after October 15, 2031, and all exchanges occurring after the date of the Issuers’ issuance of a Notice of Redemption and prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date, shall be settled using the same Settlement Method (including the same relative proportion of cash and shares of Common Stock). Except for any exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after October 15, 2031, or after the date of the Issuers’ issuance of a Notice of Redemption and prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date, the Issuers shall use the same Settlement Method for all exchanges with the same Exchange Date, but shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to exchanges with different Exchange Dates.

(ii) If the Issuers elect a Settlement Method, the Issuers shall deliver notice to Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent of the Settlement Method the Issuers have selected no later than the Close of Business on the VWAP Trading Day immediately following the related Exchange Date (or (i) in the case of any exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after October 15, 2031, no later than October 15, 2031 or (ii) in the case of any exchanges occurring after the date of issuance of a Notice of Redemption and prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date, in such Notice of Redemption). If the Issuers call all or any Notes for Redemption and the related Redemption Date is on or after October 15, 2031, then the Settlement Method that the Issuers elect to apply for exchanges with an Exchange Date occurring during the related Redemption period must be the same Settlement Method that applies to all exchanges with an Exchange Date that occurs on or after October 15, 2031. If the Issuers do not timely elect a Settlement Method, the Issuers shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement and the Issuers shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement with respect to that Exchange Date, with a Specified Dollar Amount of $1,000. If the Issuers elect Combination Settlement but do not timely specify a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the Specified Dollar Amount will be deemed to be $1,000.

(iii) The Settlement Amount will be computed as follows:

(A) if the Issuers elect Cash Settlement, the Issuers shall pay to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Exchange Values for each of the 30 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

(B) if the Issuers elect (or are deemed to have elected) Combination Settlement, the Issuers shall pay and, as applicable, issue or deliver, as the case may be, to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 30 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the related Observation Period, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange.

If more than one Note shall be surrendered for exchange at any one time by the same Holder, the Exchange Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered.

(iv) The Issuers may, prior to October 15, 2031, at their option, irrevocably fix any Settlement Method that the Issuers are then permitted to elect for all exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs subsequent to such notice, including Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes of $1,000, or with an ability to continue to set a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes at or above a specific amount set forth in such written notice. Such election must be made by delivering written notice of such election to the Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent. If the Issuers irrevocably fix the Settlement Method to Combination Settlement with an ability to continue to set the Specified Dollar Amount at or above a specified amount (which specified amount shall not be less than $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes), the Issuers will inform holders exchanging their Notes, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent in writing of such Specified Dollar Amount no later than the relevant Settlement Method election deadline, or, if the Issuers do not timely inform them, the Specified Dollar Amount will be the specific amount set forth in the election notice or, if no specific amount was set forth, $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. In no event may the Issuers elect Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount that is less than $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. No such irrevocable election will affect any Settlement Method theretofore elected or deemed elected. Any such irrevocable election will be effective without amending this Indenture or the Notes, although the Issuers may execute such an amendment at their option. If the Issuers irrevocably fix the Settlement Method, the Issuers or PBF Energy will either post the fixed Settlement Method on their website, issue a press release or disclose the same in a current report on Form 8-K (or any successor form) that is filed or furnished with the Commission.

(v) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Exchange Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Issuers promptly following the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Exchange Values, as the case may be, and, if applicable, the amount of cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares, the Issuers shall notify the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Exchange Values, as the case may be, and, if applicable, the amount of cash payable in lieu of fractional shares. The Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(b) (i) To exchange a beneficial interest in a Global Note (which exchange is irrevocable), the holder of such beneficial interest must:

(A) comply with the Applicable Procedures for exchanging a beneficial interest in a Global Note;

(B) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes;

(C) if required, pay funds equal to any Special Interest, if any, payable on the next Special Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(g); and

(D) To exchange a Certificated Note, the Holder must:

(E) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Exchange Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Exchange (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Exchange”) and such Note to the Exchange Agent;

(F) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and

(G) if required, pay funds equal to any interest payable on the next Special Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(g).

The Trustee (and if different, the Exchange Agent) shall notify the Issuers of any exchange pursuant to this Article 14 on the Exchange Date for such exchange.

If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for exchange until such Holder has validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of a Global Note, has complied with the Applicable Procedures with respect to such a withdrawal) in accordance with the terms of Section 15.03. If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, such Holder’s right to withdraw such notice and exchange the Notes that are subject to repurchase will terminate at the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. If the Issuers have designated a Redemption Date pursuant to Section 16.02, a Holder that complies with the requirements for exchange set forth in this Section 14.02(b) shall be deemed to have delivered a notice of its election not to have its Notes so redeemed.

(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been exchanged immediately prior to the Close of Business on the date (the “Exchange Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in Section 14.02(b) above.

Subject to the provisions of Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), the Issuers shall deliver the consideration due in respect of exchange on the second Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period.

If any shares of Common Stock are due to exchanging Holders, the Issuers shall cause to be issued or delivered to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary, as the case may be, for the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Issuers’ Exchange Obligation.

(d) In case any Certificated Note shall be surrendered for partial exchange, in an Authorized Denomination, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder so surrendered a new Note or Notes in an Authorized Denomination in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unexchanged portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the exchanging Holder but, if required by the Issuers or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.

(e) If a Holder submits a Note for exchange, the Issuers shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock upon exchange of such Note, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax.

(f) Upon the exchange of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian of the Global Note at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation in the books and records of the Trustee and Depositary as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any exchange of Notes effected through any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee.

(g) Upon exchange of a Note, the exchanging Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment representing accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, except as set forth in the paragraph below. The Issuers’ payment or issuance or delivery, as the case may be, of the Settlement Amount upon exchange of any Note shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Exchange Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Exchange Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon an exchange of Notes into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, shall be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such exchange.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, if any payment of Special Interest is due in respect of any Special Interest Payment Date, and if Notes are exchanged after the Close of Business on an applicable Special Interest Record Date for the payment of Special Interest, but prior to the open of business on the immediately following Special Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes at the Close of Business on such Special Interest Record Date shall receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the exchange. Notes surrendered for exchange during the period from the Close of Business on any Special Interest Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Special Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of Special Interest, if any, payable on the Notes so exchanged on the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the exchanging Holder was the Holder of record on the corresponding Special Interest Record Date); provided that no such payment need be made:

(i) if the Notes are surrendered for exchange following the Special Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

(ii) if the Notes are subject to Redemption by the Issuers on a Redemption Date that is after a Special Interest Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date;

(iii) if the Issuers have specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Special Interest Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date; or

(iv) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of exchange with respect to such Note.

Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Special Interest is payable, all Holders of record on the Special Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date as described in clause (ii) above and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date as described in clause (iii) above shall receive and retain the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Special Interest Payment Date regardless of whether their Notes have been exchanged following such Special Interest Record Date.

(h) Subject to Section 14.02(c), the Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon exchange are registered shall become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period. Upon an exchange of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for exchange; provided that (A) the exchanging Holder shall have the right to receive the Settlement Amount due upon exchange and (B) in the case of an exchange between a Special Interest Record Date and the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date, the Holder of record as of the Close of Business on such Special Interest Record Date shall have the right to receive the interest payable on such Special Interest Payment Date, in accordance with Section 14.02(g).

(i) The Issuers shall not deliver and shall not be required to deliver fractional shares of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes. Instead, the Issuers shall pay cash in lieu of issuing or delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange based on the Daily VWAP on the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period. For each Note surrendered for exchange, if the Issuers have elected Combination Settlement, the full number of shares of Common Stock that shall be delivered upon exchange thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and, if applicable, any fractional shares of Common Stock remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

(j) Subject to applicable securities laws, upon surrender by a Holder of its Notes for exchange, the Issuers may, at their election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Exchange Agent to surrender, on or prior to the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period, such Notes to a financial institution designated by the Issuers (the “Designated Financial Institution”) for third party exchange in lieu of exchange by the Issuers. In order to accept any Notes surrendered to the Issuers for exchange, the Designated Financial Institution must agree to pay and, as applicable, deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, all of the cash and shares of Common Stock, if applicable, all as provided in Section 14.02. By the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the first VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period, the Issuers shall notify the Holder surrendering Notes for exchange that the Issuers have directed the Designated Financial Institution to make a third party exchange in lieu of exchange by the Issuers.

If the Designated Financial Institution accepts any Notes as described above, it will pay and deliver, as applicable, the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, due upon exchange to such Holder on the second Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period. Any Notes exchanged by the Designated Financial Institution shall remain outstanding. If the Designated Financial Institution agrees to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely pay and deliver, as applicable, the related cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, or if such Designated Financial Institution does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Issuers shall exchange the Notes and pay and cause to be delivered, as applicable, the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, due upon exchange on the second Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period as described above in this Section 14.02.

The Issuers’ designation of a Designated Financial Institution does not require such Designated Financial Institution to accept any Notes (unless such Designated Financial Institution has separately made an agreement with the Issuers). The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into a separate agreement with any Designated Financial Institution that would compensate it for any such transaction.

Section 14.03 Increase in Exchange Rate Upon Exchange in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. (a) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Issuers shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Exchange Rate for the Notes so surrendered for exchange by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. An exchange of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the period from the open of business on the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for (x) the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof or (y) the Adequate Cash Exchange Provisions, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”).

(b) Upon surrender of Notes for exchange in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Issuers shall satisfy their Exchange Obligation by Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 14.02 (after giving effect to any increase in the Exchange Rate required by this Section 14.03); provided, however, that, if the consideration for the Common Stock in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any exchange of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Exchange Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of exchanged Notes equal to (i) the Exchange Rate (including any increase to reflect the Additional Shares as described in this Section 14.03), multiplied by (ii) such Stock Price. In such event, the Exchange Obligation shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the second Business Day following the Exchange Date. The Issuers shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date (the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Company Notice”).

(c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal (i) the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Exchange Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Exchange Rate as set forth in Section 14.04.

(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 14.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:


Effective Date	Stock Price
Effective Date	$70.40		$80.00		$90.00		$96.80		$110.00		$125.84		$150.00		$180.00		$200.00		$300.00		$500.00

The exact Stock Price and/or Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year or 366-day year, as applicable;

(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $500.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Exchange Rate; and

(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $70.40 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Exchange Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exchange Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 14.2045 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.

(f) Nothing in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Section 14.04 Adjustment of Exchange Rate. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Issuers if any of the following events occurs, except that the Issuers shall not make any adjustments to the Exchange Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to exchange their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Exchange Rate, multiplied by (ii) the number of Notes in the Authorized Denomination held by such Holder.

(a) If PBF Energy exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if PBF Energy effects a share split or share combination, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

LOGO

where,


ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

ER₁	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, before giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination; and

OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared and results in an adjustment under this Section 14.04(a) but is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date PBF Energy determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If PBF Energy issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than any issuance pursuant to a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

LOGO

where,


ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

ER₁	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

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

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not issued or delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued or delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date PBF Energy determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 14.04(b) and Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by PBF Energy for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or exchange thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Issuers.

(c) If PBF Energy distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(i) dividends, distributions or issuances (including share splits) described in Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b);

(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Exchange Rate is required (or would be required assuming the Dividend Threshold was zero and without regard to the deferral exception) pursuant to Section 14.04(d);

(iii) except in the case of a Separation Event, any dividend or distribution pursuant to a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan (as described in this Section 14.04(c));

(iv) any dividends and distributions in connection with a Specified Corporate Event described under Section 14.07; and

(v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply;

(any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of PBF Energy, the “Distributed Property”), then the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

LOGO

where,


ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

ER₁	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined by the Issuers taking into account applicable stock exchange rules) of the Distributed Property so distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date PBF Energy determines not to pay or make such distribution, to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of PBF Energy, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

LOGO

where,


ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

ER₁	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

FMV₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to the Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

Any adjustment to the Exchange Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that for any VWAP Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such exchange and within the Valuation Period, the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such VWAP Trading Day in determining the Exchange Rate as of such VWAP Trading Day of such Observation Period. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date PBF Energy determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.

For purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respects to Section 14.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by PBF Energy to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of PBF Energy’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):

(i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock;

(ii) are not exercisable; and

(iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock,

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Exchange Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made:

(A) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Exchange Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and

(B) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and this Section 14.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:

(i) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(ii) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then:

(A) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Exchange Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made; and

(B) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Exchange Rate adjustment required by Section 14.04(a) and Section 14.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Issuers (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(b).

(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed the Dividend Threshold per share of Common Stock), the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

LOGO

where:


ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

ER₁	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP₀	=	the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;


T	=	an amount (subject to the proviso below, the “Dividend Threshold”); initially equal to $0.275 per share of Common Stock provided, however, that (x) if such dividend or distribution is not a regular quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock, then T will be deemed to be zero per share of Common Stock with respect to such dividend or distribution; and (y) the Dividend Threshold will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Exchange Rate is adjusted as a result of the operation of Sections 14.04(a), 14.04(b), 14.04(c) and 14.04(e); and

C	=	the amount in cash per share that PBF Energy distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date PBF Energy determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If PBF Energy or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for Common Stock (other than an odd lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

LOGO

where:


ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;

ER₁	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;


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

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP₁	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

Any adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall be made at the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; provided that for any VWAP Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such exchange and within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding such Expiration Date, and including, such VWAP Trading Day in determining the Exchange Rate as of such VWAP Trading Day of such Observation Period.

In the event that PBF Energy or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but PBF Energy or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all or a portion of such purchases are rescinded, then the Exchange Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been effected.

(f) [Reserved.]

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if an Exchange Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date and a Holder that has exchanged its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of the related Exchange Date as described under Section 14.02(h) based on an adjusted Exchange Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Exchange Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 14.04, the Exchange Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such exchanging Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(h) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Issuers (taking into account applicable stock exchange rules) and all adjustments to the Exchange Rate shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Common Stock. In no event will the Exchange Rate be adjusted such that the Exchange Price shall be less than the par value per share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 14 to the contrary, the Issuers shall not be required to adjust the Exchange Rate unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% to the Exchange Rate. However, the Issuers shall carry forward any adjustment that is less than 1% of the Exchange Rate, take such carried-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried-forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) annually on the anniversary of the Issue Date, (ii) on each VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period, (iii) on the date of a Notice of Redemption and (iv) on the effective date of any Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The provisions described in the preceding sentence are referred to as the “deferral exception.”

(i) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this Section 14.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, the Issuers from time to time may increase the Exchange Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Issuers determine that such increase would be in the Issuers’ or PBF Energy’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, the Issuers may also (but is not required to) increase the Exchange Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to the holders of the Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Exchange Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Issuers shall send to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Exchange Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Exchange Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(j) Except as stated herein, the Issuers shall not adjust the Exchange Rate for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Exchange Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on PBF Energy’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by PBF Energy or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Issuers);

(iii) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(iv) for stock repurchases that are not tender or exchange offers referred to in Section 14.04(e), including structured or derivative transactions or pursuant to a repurchase program approved by PBF Energy;

(v) solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(vi) for accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any.

(k) [Reserved.]

(l) Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Issuers shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Exchange Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Exchange Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall have any responsibility to verify the accuracy of any adjustment to the Exchange Rate. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Exchange Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Exchange Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Issuers shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate setting forth the adjusted Exchange Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall send such notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Note Register of this Indenture. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(m) [Reserved.]

(n) For purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of PBF Energy, so long as PBF Energy does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of PBF Energy, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

Section 14.05 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Issuers to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Exchange Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, an Observation Period and the period for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Notice of Redemption), the Issuers shall make appropriate adjustments, in good faith (taking into account applicable stock exchange rules), to each to account for any adjustment to the Exchange Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Exchange Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date of the event occurs at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Exchange Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts or Stock Prices are to be calculated.

Section 14.06 Shares To Be Fully Reserved. PBF Energy shall reserve and provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock exchangeable under the Notes (including the maximum number of Additional Shares that could be included in the Exchange Rate for an exchange in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

Section 14.07 Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.

(a) In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes in par value or resulting from a subdivision or combination);

(ii) any consolidation, merger or other combination involving PBF Energy; or

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer or disposition to a third party of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of PBF Energy, taken as a whole; or

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Specified Corporate Event” and any such stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), “Reference Property” and the amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Specified Corporate Event would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Specified Corporate Event, a “Unit of Reference Property”), then the Issuers, or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, will execute with the Trustee, which supplemental indenture shall not require the consent of the Holders, a supplemental indenture providing that, at and after the effective time of the Specified Corporate Event, the right to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of Notes for shares of Common Stock will be changed into a right to exchange such principal amount of Notes for the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such Specified Corporate Event would have been entitled to receive upon such Specified Corporate Event; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Specified Corporate Event:

(A) the Issuers shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid, issued or delivered, as the case may be, upon exchange of Notes in accordance with Section 14.02; and

(B) (x) any amount payable in cash upon exchange of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (y) any shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the Units of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Specified Corporate Event and (z) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a Unit of Reference Property; provided, however, that if the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Specified Corporate Event, then for all exchanges that occur after the effective date of such Specified Corporate Event (i) the consideration due upon exchange of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Exchange Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Specified Corporate Event and (ii) the Issuers shall satisfy the Exchange Obligation by paying such cash to the exchanging Holder on the second Business Day immediately following the Exchange Date.

If the Specified Corporate Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the Reference Property into which the Notes shall be exchangeable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of the Common Stock. The Issuers shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination.

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14 (including giving effect, in the Issuers’ reasonable discretion, to the Dividend Threshold in a manner that reflects the nature and value of the Reference Property). If the Reference Property in respect of any Specified Corporate Event includes shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (other than cash) (including any combination thereof) of an entity other than PBF Energy or the Issuers or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Specified Corporate Event, then such other entity, if it is party to such Specified Corporate Event, shall also execute such supplemental indenture, and such supplemental indenture shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders, including the right of Holders to require the Issuers to repurchase their Notes upon a Fundamental Change in accordance with Article 15, as the Issuers shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

(b) In the event the Issuers shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 14.07(a), the Issuers shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or other assets (including any combination thereof) that will comprise the Reference Property after any such Specified Corporate Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly send notice thereof to all Holders. The Issuers shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be sent to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(c) If the Notes become exchangeable for Reference Property, the Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing, issue a press release, file or furnish an 8-K (or any successor form) or update their website to disclose the relevant information.

(d) The Issuers and PBF Energy shall not become a party to any Specified Corporate Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to exchange its Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Specified Corporate Event.

(e) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Specified Corporate Events.

Section 14.08 Certain Covenants.

(a) PBF Energy covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon exchange of Notes shall be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights of any securityholder of PBF Energy and free from all taxes, liens, charges and adverse claims as the result of any action by PBF Energy.

(b) [Reserved.]

(c) The Issuers and PBF Energy shall comply with all applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes, including that if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of exchange of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any U.S. federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued or delivered upon exchange, PBF Energy shall, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(d) The Issuers and PBF Energy further covenant that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any Designated Exchange, PBF Energy shall list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such Designated Exchange, any Common Stock issuable or deliverable upon exchange of the Notes.

Section 14.09 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Exchange Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Exchange Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exchange of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Issuers to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of exchange or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Issuers contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the exchange of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Issuers shall be obligated to furnish to the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 14.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for exchange or no longer eligible therefor until the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee and the Exchange Agent the notices referred to in Section 14.01(b) with respect to the

commencement or termination of such exchange rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Exchange Agent may conclusively rely, and the Issuers agree to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Exchange Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 14.01(b). The parties hereto agree that all notices to the Trustee or the Exchange Agent under this Article 14 shall be in writing.

Section 14.10 [Reserved].

Section 14.11 Stockholder Rights Plans. If PBF Energy has a shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan in effect upon exchange of the Notes, Holders that exchange their Notes shall receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock received in connection with such exchange, the appropriate number of rights under such rights agreement or rights plan, if any, and any certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exchange shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such rights agreement or rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if prior to any exchange, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder’s rights agreement or rights plan (a “Separation Event”), the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if PBF Energy distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, Distributed Property pursuant to Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

ARTICLE 15

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 15.01 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 15.02 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuers to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal thereof that is equal to an Authorized Denomination, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Issuers that is not less than 20 or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (subject to extension if required to comply with law), at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after an applicable Special Interest Record Date but on or prior to the Special Interest Payment Date to which such Special Interest Record Date relates, in which case the Issuers shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, to Holders of record as of such Special Interest Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 15.

(b) Repurchase of Notes under this Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Certificated Notes, or in compliance with the Applicable Procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case, on or before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Certificated Notes, to the Paying Agent on or before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the Applicable Procedures, in each case, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:

(A) in the case of Certificated Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be a minimum of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

(C) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Issuers pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 15.03.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuers of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(c) On or before the 20th Business Day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Issuers shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee and the Exchange Agent) a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article 15;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Exchange Agent;

(vii) the Exchange Rate and any adjustments to the Exchange Rate;

(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be exchanged only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (or, in the case of a Global Note, complies with the Applicable Procedures with respect to such a withdrawal);

(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Issuers to repurchase their Notes; and

(x) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes.

At the Issuers’ written request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Issuers’ and PBF Energy’s names and at the Issuers’ expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Issuers. In such a case, the Issuers shall deliver such notice to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the date that the notice is required to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter notice period shall be agreed to by the Trustee), together with an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice.

Such notice shall be delivered to the Trustee, to the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to each Holder at its address shown in the Note Register (and to the beneficial owner as required by applicable law) or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

No failure of the Issuers and/or PBF Energy to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 15.02.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Issuers on any date at the option of the Holders in connection with a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Issuers in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Certificated Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Issuers in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuers shall not be required to repurchase, or to make an offer to repurchase, the Notes upon a Fundamental Change:

(i) if a third party makes such an offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuers pursuant to this Article 15 and such third party purchases all Notes properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn under its offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuers on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; or

(ii) pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof (or a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (a) that also results in a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (b)), if (A) such Fundamental Change results in the Notes becoming exchangeable (pursuant to the provisions described in Section 14.08) into an amount of cash per Note that is greater than (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (assuming the maximum amount of accrued interest would be payable based on the latest possible Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), plus (y) to the extent that the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change is after an applicable Special Interest Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Special Interest Payment Date, the full amount of interest payable per Note on such Special Interest Payment Date and (B) the Issuers provide timely notice of the Holders’ right to exchange their Notes based on such Fundamental Change as described in Section 14.01(b)(iii) (the requirements set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 15.02(d)(ii), the “Adequate Cash Exchange Provisions”).

A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 15.03 at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

(a) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which portion must be in an Authorized Denomination,

(b) if Certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Notes in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(c) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in an Authorized Denomination;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the withdrawal notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures.

Section 15.04 Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. (a) The Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuers, or if the Issuers are acting as their own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) on or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuers), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not validly withdrawn prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 15.02) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuers) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 15.02, by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Issuers, return to the Issuers any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(b) If by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuers) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or any applicable extension thereof, then, with respect to Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn:

(i) such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or any applicable extension thereof (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent); and

(ii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (other than (x) the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and (y) if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after an applicable Special Interest Record Date but on or prior to the related Special Interest Payment Date, the right of the Holder on such Special Interest Record Date to receive the accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date).

(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 15.02, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an Authorized Denomination equal in principal amount to the portion of the Note surrendered that is not to be repurchased, without payment of any service charge.

Section 15.05 Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes. In connection with any repurchase offer, the Issuers will, if required:

(a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;

(b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and

(c) otherwise comply in all material respects with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Issuers to repurchase the Notes;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 15 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 15, subject to extension if required to comply with law. To the extent that any securities laws and regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the repurchase of Notes, the Issuers are required to comply with such securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Indenture as a result thereof.

ARTICLE 16

REDEMPTION

Section 16.01 Right of the Issuers to Redeem the Notes. The Notes shall not be redeemable by the Issuers prior to the Maturity Date, except as described in this Article 16 and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

(a) The Issuers may not redeem the Notes at any time before January 20, 2030, except for a Cleanup Redemption as provided under Section 16.01(c).

(b) Subject to the terms of this Article 16, the Issuers have the right, at their election, to redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) all, or any portion in an Authorized Denomination, of the Notes, for cash equal to the Redemption Price, at any time and from time to time, on a Redemption Date on or after January 20, 2030 and prior to the 31st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, if the Last Reported Sale Price per share of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the Exchange Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive), including the Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Notice Date, during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Notice Date.

If the Issuers elect to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes, at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must remain outstanding and not be subject to redemption after giving effect to the Notice of Redemption (the “Partial Redemption Limitation”).

If the Issuers elect to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption and the Notes to be redeemed are Global Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. If the Company decides to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption and the Notes to be redeemed are not Global Notes then held by the Depositary, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed (in Authorized Denominations) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers to be fair and appropriate. If any Note selected for partial Optional Redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for such partial Optional Redemption.

(c) Subject to the terms of this Article 16, the Issuers have the right, at their election, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes at any time prior to the 31st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, if the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at such time is less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes initially issued under this Indenture (including the additional Notes issued pursuant to the initial purchasers’ option) (a “Cleanup Redemption”).

(d) If the applicable Redemption Date falls after an applicable Special Interest Record Date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding Special Interest Payment Date, the Issuers will pay, on or prior to such Special Interest Payment Date, the full amount of accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, to the Holder as of the Close of Business of such Special Interest Record Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Special Interest Payment Date, if such Redemption Date is before such Special Interest Payment Date) and the Redemption Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in this Indenture to (i) any Note that is called for Redemption (or similar language) includes any Note that is deemed to be called for Redemption pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(v); and (ii) any Note that is not called for Redemption (or similar language) excludes any Note that is deemed to be called for Redemption pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(v).

Section 16.02 Notice of Redemption.

(a) To call any Notes for Redemption pursuant to Section 16.01, the Issuers shall fix a date for Redemption (a “Redemption Date”) and the Issuers shall or, at their written request received by the Trustee not less than five Business Days prior to the date on which notice is sent to the Holders (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall, in the name of and at the expense of the Issuers, send or cause to be sent a notice of such Redemption (a “Notice of Redemption”) not less than 35 nor more than 55 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided, however, that if the Issuers shall give a Notice of Redemption, it shall also give a written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. A Redemption Date must be a Business Day of the Issuers’ choosing that is no more than fifty-five (55), nor less than thirty-five (35), Scheduled Trading Days after the Redemption Notice Date and that cannot fall on or after the 31st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date

(b) A Notice of Redemption, if delivered in the manner provided herein, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given duly, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver such Notice of Redemption or any defect in the Notice of Redemption to the Holder of any Note designated for Redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the Redemption of any other Note.

(i) that the Notes have been called for Redemption, briefly describing the Issuers’ Redemption rights under this Indenture;

(ii) the Redemption Date for such Redemption;

(iii) the Redemption Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for such Redemption (and the amount, manner and timing of any interest payment payable pursuant to Section 16.01(d));

(iv) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

(v) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued;

(vi) that Notes called for Redemption must be delivered to the Paying Agent (in the case of Certificated Notes) or the Applicable Procedures must be complied with (in the case of a beneficial interest in a Global Note) for the Holder thereof to be entitled to receive the Redemption Price;

(vii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Redemption Price, the interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant applicable Special Interest Record Date that is prior to the Redemption Date to receive interest payable pursuant to Section 16.01(d));

(viii) that Holders may surrender their Notes called for Redemption for exchange at any time from the date of the Notice of Redemption to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or, if the Issuers fail to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Issuers pay or duly provide for the Redemption Price;

(ix) the procedures an exchanging Holder must follow to exchange its Notes called for Redemption and, if the Issuers choose to elect a Settlement Method for any such exchanges, the relevant Settlement Method;

(x) the Exchange Rate and, if applicable, the number of shares of Common Stock added to the Exchange Rate in accordance with Section 16.06; and

(xi) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes.

A Notice of Redemption shall be irrevocable. In the case of a Redemption, a Holder may exchange any or all of its Notes called for Redemption at any time from the date of the Notice of Redemption to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or, if the Issuers fail to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Issuers pay or duly provide for the Redemption Price.

Section 16.03 Payment of Notes Called for Redemption.

(a) If any Notice of Redemption has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 16.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Notice of Redemption and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Notice of Redemption, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuers at the applicable Redemption Price.

(b) Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuers, or if the Issuers are acting as their own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of cash sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Notes. The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Issuers) shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Issuers, return to the Issuers any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.

Section 16.04 Selection, Exchange and Transfer of Notes to be Redeemed in Part. If less than all Notes then outstanding are called for Redemption, then:

(a) the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee as follows: (1) in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures; and (2) in the case of Certificated Notes, by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers to be fair and appropriate; and

(b) if only a portion of a Note is subject to Redemption and such Note is exchanged in part, then the exchanged portion of such Note will be deemed to be from the portion of such Note that was subject to the Redemption.

In the event of any Redemption, the Issuers shall not be required to (x) issue, register the transfer of or exchange of any interest in any Notes during the 15 calendar day period prior to the relevant Redemption Notice Date or (y) register the transfer of or exchange of any interest in any Notes so selected for Redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in part. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not be construed as a prohibition on any exchange of the Notes pursuant to Article 14.

Section 16.05 Restrictions on Redemption. The Issuers may not redeem any Notes on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (or, if the Issuers fail to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Issuers pay the Redemption Price) (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Issuers in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).

Section 16.06 Increased Exchange Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Called for Redemption Surrendered for Exchange in Connection with a Redemption.

(a) If a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with a Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(v) and this Article 16 (whether for Optional Redemption or Cleanup Redemption, but only with respect to the Notes called for Redemption), the Exchange Rate will be increased by a number of Additional Shares as described in this Section 16.06. An exchange of Notes shall be deemed to be “in connection with” a Notice of Redemption if, with respect only to the Notes called for Redemption, the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the period from the open of business on the Redemption Notice Date to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or, if the Issuers fail to pay the Redemption Price, such later date on which the Issuers pay or duly provide for the Redemption Price.

(b) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased pursuant to this Section 16.06 if a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with a Notice of Redemption (but only with respect to the Notes called for Redemption) shall be determined by reference to the table set forth in Section 14.03(e) based on the Redemption Notice Date and the Redemption Reference Price, but determined for purposes of this Section 16.06 as if (i) the Holder had elected to exchange its Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (ii) the Redemption Notice Date were the Effective Date of the relevant Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (iii) the Redemption Reference Price were the Stock Price in respect of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

If any Special Interest Payment Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, any Redemption Date or the Maturity Date is not a Business Day or is a day on which financial institutions located in the state in which the Corporate Trust Office is located are authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed, then any action to be taken on such date need not be taken on such date, but may be taken on the next succeeding Business Day that is not a day on which financial institutions located in the state in which the Corporate Trust Office is located are authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed with the same force and effect as if taken on such date, and no interest shall accrue in respect of the delay.

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 7.08.

Any corporation or other entity into which any authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or other entity is otherwise eligible under this Section 17.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation or other entity.

Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Issuers. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Issuers.

The Issuers agree to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services although the Issuers may terminate the authenticating agent, if they determine such agent’s fees to be unreasonable.

The Issuers shall provide a schedule of their calculations to each of the Trustee and the Exchange Agent, and each of the Trustee and Exchange Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. The Trustee will forward the Issuers’ calculations to any Holder of Notes upon the written request of that Holder at the sole cost and expense of the Issuers. In no event shall the Trustee or the Exchange Agent be charged with knowledge of or have any duty to monitor Stock Price or Observation Period. Neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for calculations, information relating to any calculation or determinations of amounts, determining whether events requiring or permitting exchanges have occurred, determining whether any adjustment is required to be made with respect to exchange rights and, if so, how much, or for the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock.

Section 17.17 U.S.A. Patriot Act. In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including, without limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, pursuant to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States (“Applicable Law”), the Trustee is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Trustee, upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee to comply with the Applicable Law.

Section 17.18 Withholding Taxes. Each Holder of a Note agrees, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, by its acquisition of such interest, is deemed to agree, that if the Issuers or other applicable withholding agent (including the Trustee) pays withholding taxes (including backup withholding) on behalf of such Holder or beneficial owner as a result of an adjustment or the non-occurrence of an adjustment to the Exchange Rate or with respect to the payment of Special Interest, then the Issuers or such withholding agent, as applicable, may, at its option, withhold such taxes from or set off such taxes against Special Interest, if any, or other subsequent payments on the Notes, payments on shares of Common Stock, or sales proceeds received by, or other funds or assets of, such Holder or beneficial owner.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

PBF HOLDING COMPANY LLC AND PBF FINANCE CORPORATION

0% Exchangeable Senior Note due 2032

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Issuers, designated as their 0% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $550,000,000 all issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 17, 2026 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, PBF Energy, the Guarantors party thereto from time to time and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Exchange Agent, the Issuers and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. The Notes represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed hereon and the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented hereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect repurchases, cancellations, exchanges for cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, transfers or exchanges permitted by the Indenture.

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and Special Interest, if any, on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture. In the case certain Events of Default relating to a bankruptcy (or similar proceeding) with respect to the Issuers shall have occurred, the principal of, and Special Interest, if any, on, all Notes shall automatically become immediately due and payable, as set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Issuers will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Redemption Price on a Redemption Date and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Issuers will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Upon exchange of any Note, the Issuers shall, at their election, pay or issue or deliver, as the case may be, cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuers and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

Exhibit A- 6

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 (including the Redemption Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of or the consideration due upon exchange for, as the case may be, and accrued and unpaid Special Interest, if any, on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. At the office or agency of the Issuers referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Issuers or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.

The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund. Under certain circumstances specified in the Indenture, the Notes will be subject to redemption by the Issuers at the Redemption Price.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuers to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to exchange any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof at the Exchange Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.
