Article Three

CERTAIN COVENANTS

In addition to the covenants set forth in Sections 1001 through 1004, inclusive, of the Original Indenture, there are established the following covenants for the benefit of Holders of the Notes and any Future Securities and to which such Notes and Future Securities shall be subject and to which Sections 402(3) and 1005 of the Original Indenture shall apply:

Section 301 Limitation on Incurrence of Debt. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) is greater than 60% of its and its Subsidiaries’ Total Asset Value.

Section 302 Limitation on the Incurrence of Secured Debt. In addition to the limitation set forth in Section 301 above, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) secured by any Lien on any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ property or assets if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) secured by a Lien on any of its or its Subsidiaries’ property or assets is greater than 40% of its and its Subsidiaries’ Total Asset Value.

Section 303 Limitation on the Incurrence of Debt Based on Consolidated EBITDA to Annual Debt Service Charge. In addition to the limitations set forth in Sections 301 and 302 above, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Annual Debt Service Charge (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such Debt is to be incurred (for which consolidated financial statements have been filed with the Commission on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) shall have been less than 1.5:1, calculated on the following assumptions: (1) such Debt and any other Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four consecutive fiscal quarterly period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (including to repay or retire other Debt) had occurred, on the first day of such period; (2) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four consecutive fiscal quarterly period had occurred on the first day of such period (except that, in making this computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); and (3) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets with a fair market value in excess of $1.0 million since the first day of such four consecutive fiscal quarterly period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, such acquisition or disposition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the calculation described above or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt shall be computed on a pro forma basis by applying the average daily rate which would have been in effect during the entire such four consecutive fiscal quarterly period to the greater of the amount of such Debt outstanding at the end of such period or the average amount of such Debt outstanding during such period.

Section 304 Maintenance of Unencumbered Asset Value. The Company shall not have at any time Total Unencumbered Asset Value of less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Unsecured Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP).

Section 305 Reports by the Company. To the extent there exists any Outstanding Securities, if the Company is subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) or any successor provision, within 15 days after the date that the Company files the same with the Commission. If the Company is not subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision, and for so long as there exist any Outstanding Securities, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee the quarterly and annual financial statements and accompanying Item 303 of Regulation S-K (“management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations”) disclosure that would be required to be contained in annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q required to be filed with the Commission if the Company was subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision, within 15 days of the filing date that would be applicable to the Company at that time pursuant to applicable Commission rules and regulations.

Reports and other documents filed with the Commission via the XXXXX system shall be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via XXXXX for purposes of this Section 305; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed via XXXXX. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants relating to the Securities (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Article Four

POSSIBLE FUTURE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP GUARANTEE

Section 401 Possible Future Operating Partnership Guarantee. Upon and following consummation of the UPREIT Reorganization, if the Operating Partnership incurs or assumes any recourse Funded Debt, or guarantees or otherwise becomes obligated with respect to any other entity’s Funded Debt, then the Company shall cause the Operating Partnership, within 10 Business Days of such incurrence, assumption, guarantee or other action, to (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, pursuant to which the Operating Partnership shall fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee all of the payment and other obligations under the Notes and any Future Securities in a timely manner on a senior unsecured basis (the “Operating Partnership Guarantee”) and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the effect that each of such supplemental indenture and such Operating Partnership Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes a valid, legally binding and enforceable obligation of, the Operating Partnership, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws or by general principles of equity. Any such Operating Partnership Guarantee shall provide that holders of the Notes and any Future Securities shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Operating Partnership without exercising their remedies against any other obligor.

Section 402 Ranking. Any Operating Partnership Guarantee shall rank equally and ratably with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Operating Partnership, shall rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness of the Operating Partnership that is not secured, and shall effectively rank junior to (i) any secured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and (ii) to all of the indebtedness and other liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, if any, and any preferred equity of the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Section 403 Waiver of Reimbursement, Indemnity and Subrogation Rights. If and for so long as the Operating Partnership guarantees the Notes or any Future Securities, it shall agree in the supplemental indenture that it shall waive and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any right of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other right as a result of any payment by the Operating Partnership under any Operating Partnership Guarantee until the Notes, or such Future Securities, have been paid in full.

Section 404 Release of any Operating Partnership Guarantee. Any Operating Partnership Guarantee shall be automatically released if (i) the Company exercises its option to discharge its obligations with respect to this Sixth Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, as applicable, pursuant to Article Four in the Original Indenture, or (ii) the Operating Partnership is no longer obligated on any other Funded Debt.

Section 405 Supplemental Indenture. The supplemental indenture shall provide that the obligations of the Operating Partnership under any Operating Partnership Guarantee shall be limited as necessary to prevent such Operating Partnership Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

The terms of the Notes are established as set forth in Article Three of the Original Indenture, this Section, in Section 503 and as further established in the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A. The terms and notations contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Original Indenture as supplemented by this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

(1) Title. The Notes shall constitute a series of Securities having the title “2.400% Senior Notes due 2031.”

(2) Principal Amount. The Notes shall initially be limited to an aggregate principal amount of FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000). The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of any Holders, create and issue additional debt securities having the same terms as the Notes in all respects, except for the issue date, public offering price and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest begins to accrue and the first payment of interest thereon, provided that (i) such issuance complies with the covenants set forth in the Indenture and (ii) any additional debt securities must be fungible with the previously outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Additional debt securities issued in this manner shall be consolidated with, and shall form a single series of debt securities under the Indenture with, the Notes. The Notes and any additional debt securities shall rank equally and ratably in right of payment and shall be treated as a single series of debt securities for all purposes under the Indenture.

(3) Maturity Date. The Notes shall mature on February 1, 2031 (the “Stated Maturity Date”) and shall be paid against presentation and surrender thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or by electronic means, unless earlier redeemed by the Company at its sole option.

(4) Interest Rate. Interest on the Notes shall accrue at the rate of 2.400% per year from, and including, October 14, 2020 or the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for, as the case may be, and shall be payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2021 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The interest so payable shall be paid to each Holder in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the January 15 or July 15 (whether or not a New York Business Day) immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(5) Sinking Fund Provisions. The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefits of, or be subject to, any sinking fund.

Section 503 Redemption.

(1) Optional Redemption. The Notes shall be redeemable, at the Company’s sole option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in each case prior to November 1, 2030 (the “Par Call Date”), for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date (exclusive of unpaid interest accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date), discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case, unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date.

In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Notes shall be redeemable, at the Company’s sole option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest shall be payable to Holders of the Notes on the Regular Record Date applicable to an Interest Payment Date falling on or before such Redemption Date.

(2) Notice of Redemption. The Company (or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee on its behalf) must transmit a notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. Such notice of redemption shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the CUSIP and International Securities Identification Number (“ISIN”) numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the place or places of payment and that payment shall be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes. Once notice of redemption is delivered to Holders, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, either the Company or the Operating Partnership, if an Operating Partnership Guarantee has been issued, shall deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes so called for redemption at the Redemption Price.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption on the Redemption Date.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee, upon prior notice from the Company, shall select the Notes to be redeemed, which, in the case of Notes in book-entry form, shall be in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may select Notes and portions of Notes in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on an Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Optional Redemption. The provisions of Article Eleven of the Indenture shall apply to this Note, as supplemented or amended by the following paragraphs.

The Notes shall be redeemable, at the Company’s sole option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in each case prior to November 1, 2030 (the “Par Call Date”), for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date (exclusive of unpaid interest accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date), discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case, unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date.

The following definitions shall apply with respect to the foregoing:

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of: (i) Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC or its successors (or an affiliate that is a Primary Treasury Dealer, as defined below); (ii) X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC or its successors (or an affiliate that is a Primary Treasury Dealer); and (iii) three other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Treasury Rate” means (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury constant maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (provided however, that if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life of the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case as calculated on the third Business Day preceding the notice of Redemption Date (or date of deposit with the Trustee in the case of a satisfaction and discharge).

In order to exercise the Company’s right of optional redemption, the Company (or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee on its behalf) must deliver a written notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. Such notice of redemption shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the CUSIP and ISIN numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the place or places of payment, and that payment shall be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes. Once notice of redemption is delivered to Holders, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, either the Company or the Operating Partnership, if an

Operating Partnership Guarantee has been issued, shall deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes so called for redemption at the Redemption Price.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee, upon prior notice from the Company, shall select the Notes to be redeemed, which, in the case of Notes in book-entry form, shall be in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company. The Trustee may select Notes and portions of Notes in amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Place of Payment. Either the Company or the Operating Partnership, if an Operating Partnership Guarantee has been issued, shall make payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other Office or Agency as may be designated by the Company for such purpose in The City of New York, in Dollars.

Time of Payment. If an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, and no additional interest shall accrue on such payment as a result of payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

General. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of March 14, 2014, among the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), as supplemented by a Sixth Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of October 14, 2020 (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities designated as “2.400% Senior Notes due 2031” (collectively, the “Notes”), limited, except as specified below, in aggregate principal amount to FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000). To the extent the terms of this Note conflict with the terms of the Indenture, the terms of this Note shall govern.

Further Issuance. The Company may, from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of, the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the series of Notes and issue and sell additional Securities (“Additional Securities”) ranking equally and ratably with, and having the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as, the originally issued Notes (other than the issue date and, to the extent applicable, issue price, initial Interest Payment Date and initial date of interest accrual). Any such Additional Securities shall be consolidated, and constitute a single series of Securities, with the originally issued Notes for all purposes; provided, however, that any such Additional Securities that have the same CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number of any Outstanding Notes must be fungible with such Outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Possible Future Operating Partnership Guarantee. Upon and following consummation of an UPREIT Reorganization, if the Operating Partnership incurs or assumes any recourse Funded Debt, or guarantees or otherwise becomes obligated with respect to any other entity’s Funded Debt, then the Company shall cause the Operating Partnership, within 10 Business Days of such incurrence, assumption, guarantee or other action, to (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, pursuant to which the Operating Partnership shall fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee all of the payment and other obligations under the Notes in a timely manner on a senior unsecured basis and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an opinion of counsel to the effect that each of such supplemental indenture and such Operating Partnership Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes a valid, legally binding and enforceable obligation of, the Operating Partnership, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws or by general principles of equity. Any such Operating Partnership Guarantee shall provide that holders of the Notes shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Operating Partnership without exercising their remedies against any other obligor.

Events of Default. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared, and in certain cases shall automatically become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

Sinking Fund. The Notes are not subject to, or entitled to the benefits of, any sinking fund.

Satisfaction and Discharge. The Indenture contains provisions where, upon the Company’s direction and satisfaction of certain conditions, the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes, subject to the survival of specified provisions of the Indenture.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for legal defeasance of certain obligations of the Company under this Note and the Indenture and covenant defeasance of certain obligations of the Company under the Indenture.

Modification and Waivers; Obligations of the Company Absolute. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities. Such amendment and modification may be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby (voting as separate classes). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series to waive, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver in respect of the Notes shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this Note and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company and the Operating Partnership, if an Operating Partnership Guarantee has been issued, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Limitation on Suits. As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, except in the case of failure of the Trustee, for 60 days, to act after it has received a written request to institute proceedings in respect of an Event of Default from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, as well as an offer of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and no inconsistent direction has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Note on the respective due dates therefor and to institute suit for the enforcement therefor, and this right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Registration of Transfer or Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the register of the Notes maintained by the Security Registrar upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer, at the Office or Agency in any Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Operating Partnership, if an Operating Partnership Guarantee has been issued, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Operating Partnership, if an Operating Partnership Guarantee has been issued, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Operating Partnership, if an Operating Partnership Guarantee has been issued, or the Trustee may treat the Holder as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Company, the Operating Partnership, if an Operating Partnership Guarantee has been issued, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Defined Terms. All terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Governing Law. The Indenture and this Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles of such State other than New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP number or the ISIN number printed on the Notes, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.
