ARTICLE 3
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
Section 3.1 Additional Covenants. In addition to the covenants of the Company set forth in Article Eight and Article Ten of the Base Indenture, Holders of the Notes shall have the benefit of the following covenants:
(a) Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.
(i) The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication):
(A) the Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted or required under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt; and
(B) the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent that such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.
For purposes of this Supplemental Indenture, “Adjusted Total Assets” means the sum of (A) and (B) above.
- 12 -
(ii) The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is greater than 40% of Adjusted Total Assets.
(iii) The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and on a pro forma basis, including the application of the proceeds therefrom, the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred is less than 1.5 to 1.0, calculated on the assumptions that:
(A) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of such period;
(B) the repayment, retirement or other discharge of any other Debt by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period);
(C) in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred in connection with or in contemplation of any acquisition, including any Person becoming a Subsidiary, since the first day of such four-quarter period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and
(D) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of Debt 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 foregoing calculation or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating interest rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service, the interest rate on such Debt shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate which would have been in effect during the entirety of such four-quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entirety of such period.
- 13 -
(b) Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Company and its Subsidiaries will at all times maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(c) Provision of Financial Information. Whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will, within fifteen (15) days after each of the respective dates by which it would have been required to file annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents with the Commission if it were so subject, (1) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders, copies of the annual reports, quarterly and other reports, financial statements and other documents which it would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if it were subject to such Sections, (2) file with the Trustee copies of the annual reports, quarterly or other reports, financial statements and other documents which it would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if it was subject to such Sections, and (3) promptly upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder; provided that, the foregoing requirements shall be deemed satisfied if the foregoing materials are available on the Commission’s XXXXX system or on the Company’s website within the applicable time period. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness or content of any such reports, financial statements, documents or information filed by the Company and delivery of such reports, financial statements, documents or information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice thereof or any information contained therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Notes are guaranteed by any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 3.1(c) with respect to financial information relating to the Company by furnishing financial information relating to such direct or indirect parent company; provided, however, that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such direct or indirect parent company and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.
(d) Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. If at any time (i) any Subsidiary (whether existing at the Issue Date or acquired or created after the Issue Date) becomes (including on the date of acquisition or creation) a Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary or (ii) any Subsidiary ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary, then the Company will cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee, within thirty (30) days from the date such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary or ceased to be an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary, as the case may be, a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Subsidiary will fully and unconditionally guarantee the Notes, jointly and severally with all other Subsidiary Guarantors, and deliver an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.
| - 14 - |
The covenant in this Section 3.1(d) will automatically and permanently terminate and the Company will be automatically and permanently released from all its obligations under this Section 3.1(d) on and after the date on which (a) the Notes have received an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and one of such Investment Grade Ratings is a Mid-BBB Investment Grade Rating, and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(e) Subsidiary Guarantor May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms; Successor Substituted. A Subsidiary Guarantor may not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other Person (other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor), and a Subsidiary Guarantor may not permit any other Person (other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor) to consolidate with or merge into it, unless:
(i) either (1) the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving entity or (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease has been made is an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Indenture;
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Subsidiary or the Company as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary or the Company at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing; and
(iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with this Section 3.1(e) and that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with;
provided that this Section 3.1(e) shall not apply to a transaction pursuant to which such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Indenture in accordance with Section 6.4 of this Supplemental Indenture.
Upon any consolidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor with, or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with this Section 3.1(e), the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which such Subsidiary Guarantor is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as a Subsidiary Guarantor in the Indenture, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Subsidiary Guarantor shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee.
| - 15 - |
(f) Repurchase of Notes upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all (in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note repurchased in part must not be less than $2,000) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).
Within ten (10) Business Days following a Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute, or are expected to constitute, the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on a specified date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), at a purchase price equal to the Change of Control Payment (the “Change of Control Offer”). The Change of Control Payment Date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than sixty (60) days from the date such notice is mailed (or in the case of Global Notes, given pursuant to applicable procedures of the Depositary).
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent for the Notes an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted; and
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes accepted and an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of all Notes purchased by the Company.
The Paying Agent for the Notes will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered (or in the case of Global Notes, will promptly pay to the Depositary or its nominee) the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder a new Note in principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable to any Change of Control Offer. If the provisions of any of the applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.1(f), the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.1(f) by virtue of that compliance.
| - 16 - |
The Company will not be obligated to make or consummate a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 3.1(f) applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In addition, the Company will not be obligated to make or consummate a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes, if it has irrevocably elected to redeem all of the Notes under Section 2.1(g) of this Supplemental Indenture and has not defaulted on its redemption obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the consummation of such Change of Control. The Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time (including more than sixty (60) days after the notice is mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as such Change of Control is consummated. The Company may rescind or amend the Change of Control Offer in the event that the Company shall determine that the Change of Control will not occur by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed. A Change of Control Offer made in advance of the Change of Control may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of the Indenture. Prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, the provisions of this Section 3.1(f) relating to the Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the 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 of the Indenture or the Notes, the release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture.
| - 23 - |
Unless and until released with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 6.4 of this Supplemental Indenture, this Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official be appointed for all or any part of the Company’s assets. If any Holder of the Notes or the Trustee is required by any court or governmental authority or is otherwise required to return to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Notes and this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article 6, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in such Article Five, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee.
Section 6.2 Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder of the Notes, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 6, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee and the Indenture not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under such laws. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Subsidiary Guarantee.
Section 6.3 Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee. To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 6.1 of this Supplemental Indenture, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that this Supplemental Indenture or a supplemental indenture entered into by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 3.1(d) of this Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be, shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an officer or other authorized signatory of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
| - 24 - |
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 6.1 of this Supplemental Indenture shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee on the Notes.
If an officer or other authorized signatory of any Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Supplemental Indenture or a supplemental indenture entered into by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 3.1(d) of this Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be, no longer holds that office or is no longer such an authorized signatory at the time the Trustee authenticates any Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless with respect to such Note.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in the Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Section 6.4 Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor. The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically terminate and be released, all other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture will automatically terminate and such Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and its other obligations under the Indenture:
(a) in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary;
(b) in the event of a sale or other disposition (including through merger or consolidation) of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of the sale or other disposition;
(c) upon such Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary;
(d) upon the satisfaction and discharge, Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes in accordance with Article Four or Article Thirteen of the Base Indenture;
(e) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred that is continuing;
(f) upon the merger of such Subsidiary Guarantor into, or the consolidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor with, (a) a Subsidiary if the surviving or resulting entity is an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary or (b) the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor; or
(g) on and after the date on which (a) the Notes have received an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and one of such Investment Grade Ratings is a Mid-BBB Investment Grade Rating, and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
| - 25 - |
At the request of the Company, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions provided for in this Supplemental Indenture to the release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee have been complied with (provided that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officer’s Certificates of the Company), the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any release pursuant to this Section 6.4).
Section 6.5 Benefits Acknowledged. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Supplemental Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Section 6.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Until all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Notes or the Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee and the Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders of the Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes under the Notes or the Indenture, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Section 6.7 Same Currency; No Set Off. Each payment to be made by a Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be payable in the currency in which corresponding payment obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture are denominated, and shall be made without set off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.
Section 6.8 Guarantee Obligations Continuing. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability in such form as counsel to the Trustee may reasonably request and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default under the Indenture being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of a Subsidiary Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Subsidiary Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or reasonably advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture.
| - 26 - |
Section 6.9 No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Subsidiary Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor under any other agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, any right, remedy, power or privilege under the Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Subsidiary Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law.
Section 6.10 Dealing with the Company and Others. The Holders and the Trustee, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture and without the consent of or notice to any Subsidiary Guarantor, may to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
(a) grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;
(b) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Company or from perfecting security or collateral of the Company;
(c) release, discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by the Company or any third party with respect to the obligations or matters contemplated by the Indenture or the Notes;
(d) accept compromises or arrangements from the Company;
(e) apply all monies at any time received from the Company or from any security upon such part of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 6.1 of this Supplemental Indenture as the Holders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Holders may see fit; and
(f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Company and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit.
| - 27 - |
Section 6.11 Enforcement; Expenses. If any Subsidiary Guarantor defaults in performing any of its obligations under the Indenture, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee under the Indenture in the enforcement of such obligations against such Subsidiary Guarantor by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to pay all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by the Trustee, any Holder of the Notes, or the agent, advisor or counsel of the Trustee or any Holder, in enforcing the performance by any Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations under the Indenture.

Diversified Healthcare Trust, a real estate investment trust duly organized and existing under the laws of Maryland (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to _____________________________, or registered assigns, the principal sum of ___________________ Dollars ($_____________) [(as the same may be revised from time to time on the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security attached hereto)] on March 1, 2031, and to pay interest thereon from _________, 20__ or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 in each year, commencing March 1, 2021 at the rate of 4.375% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts or, in the case of any Note that is a Global Security, in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), or any successor depositary with respect to the Global Notes appointed under the Indenture, the “Depositary”), and its participants in effect from time to time; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[Form of Reverse of Security]
1. General. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 18, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), as supplemented by a Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by such Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, 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 Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (such series, the “Notes”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Indenture.
2. Optional Redemption. The Notes will be subject to redemption in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to their maturity at the option of the Company upon not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its address appearing in the Security Register or, in the case of any Note that is a Global Security, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary and its participants in effect from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any (it being understood that if the Notes are redeemed on or after September 1, 2030, the Make-Whole Amount equals zero).
As used herein the term “Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any redemption of any Notes prior to September 1, 2030, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the applicable Redemption Date of each dollar of principal being redeemed and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption had been made on September 1, 2030, determined by discounting, on a semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third (3rd) Business Day preceding the date the notice of redemption relating to such redemption is given) from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption had been made on September 1, 2030, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed. In the case of any redemption of the Notes on or after September 1, 2030, the Make-Whole Amount means zero. The Make-Whole Amount shall be calculated by the Company and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on said Officer’s Certificate.
As used herein the term “Reinvestment Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the sum of 0.50% (fifty one hundredths of one percent) and the arithmetic mean of the yields on treasury securities at constant maturity displayed for each of the five (5) most recent days published in the Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury constant maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to maturity (which, in the case of maturities corresponding to the principal and interest due on the Notes at their maturity, shall be deemed to be September 1, 2030), as of the Redemption Date of the Notes being redeemed. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such remaining life to maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such remaining life to maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used.
As used herein the term “Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published daily by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release (or any successor publication) is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then any publicly available source of similar market data used for this purpose in accordance with customary market practice which shall be designated by the Company.
