To each of the Purchasers listed

in the Purchaser Schedule hereto:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Invitation Homes Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:

Section 1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes, of which $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount shall be its 2.46% Senior Notes, Series A, due May 25, 2028 (the “Series A Notes”) and $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount shall be its 3.18% Senior Notes, Series B, due May 25, 2036 (the “Series B Notes”). The Series A Notes and the Series B Notes are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes.” The Series A Notes and the Series B Notes shall be substantially in the forms set out in Schedule 1(a) and Schedule 1(b), respectively. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 22.4 shall govern.

Section 2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes of the series and in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

Section 3. CLOSING.

The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx LLP, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at 11:00 a.m., New York time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on May 25, 2021. At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes of each series to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note of such series (or such greater number of Notes of such series in denominations of at least $100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer to the account of the Company set forth in the funding instructions delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 4.10. If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure by the Company to tender such Notes or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction.

Section 4. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, prior to or at the Closing, of the following conditions:

Section 4.1. Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement shall be correct when made and at the Closing.

Section 4.2. Performance; No Default. The Company shall have performed and complied with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement required to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing. Before and after giving effect to the issue and sale of the Notes (and the application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated by Section 5.14), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have entered into any transaction since February 12, 2021 that would have been prohibited by Section 10 had such Section applied since such date.

Section 4.3. Compliance Certificates.

(a) Officer’s Certificate of the Company. The Company shall have delivered to such Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate, dated the date of the Closing, certifying that the conditions specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.9 have been fulfilled.

(b) Secretary’s Certificate of the Company. The Company shall have delivered to such Purchaser a certificate of its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, dated the date of the Closing, certifying as to (1) the resolutions attached thereto and other limited

-2-

partnership proceedings relating to the authorization, execution and delivery of the Notes and this Agreement and (2) the Company’s organizational documents as then in effect.

Section 4.4. Opinions of Counsel. Such Purchaser shall have received opinions in form and substance satisfactory to such Purchaser, dated the date of the Closing (a) from Sidley Austin LLP, counsel for the Company, covering the matters set forth in Schedule 4.4(a), and covering such other matters incident to the transactions contemplated hereby as such Purchaser or its counsel may reasonably request (and the Company hereby instructs its counsel to deliver such opinion to the Purchasers) and (b) from Xxxxxx Xxxxxx LLP, the Purchasers’ special counsel in connection with such transactions, substantially in the form set forth in Schedule 4.4(b) and covering such other matters incident to such transactions as such Purchaser may reasonably request.

Section 4.5. Purchase Permitted by Applicable Law, Etc. On the date of the Closing, such Purchaser’s purchase of Notes shall (a) be permitted by the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction to which such Purchaser is subject, without recourse to provisions (such as section 1405(a)(8) of the New York Insurance Law) permitting limited investments by insurance companies without restriction as to the character of the particular investment, (b) not violate any applicable law or regulation (including Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and (c) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty or liability under or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, which law or regulation was not in effect on the date of this Agreement. If requested by such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall have received an Officer’s Certificate from the Company certifying as to such matters of fact as such Purchaser may reasonably specify to enable such Purchaser to determine whether such purchase is so permitted.

Section 4.6. Sale of Other Notes. Contemporaneously with the Closing, the Company shall sell to each other Purchaser and each other Purchaser shall purchase the Notes to be purchased by it at the Closing as specified in the Purchaser Schedule.

Section 4.7. Payment of Special Counsel Fees. Without limiting Section 15.1, the Company shall have paid on or before the Closing the fees, charges and disbursements of the Purchasers’ special counsel referred to in Section 4.4(b) to the extent reflected in a statement of such counsel rendered to the Company at least three Business Days prior to the Closing.

Section 4.8. Private Placement Numbers. A Private Placement Number issued by CUSIP Global Services (in cooperation with the SVO) shall have been obtained for each series of the Notes.

Section 4.9. Changes in Corporate Structure. The Company shall not have changed its jurisdiction of organization or been a party to any merger or consolidation or succeeded to all or any substantial part of the liabilities of any other entity, at any time following the date of the most recent financial statements referred to in Schedule 5.5.

Section 4.10. Funding Instructions. At least three Business Days prior to the date of the Closing, each Purchaser shall have received written instructions signed by a Responsible

-3-

Officer on letterhead of the Company directing the manner of the payment of the purchase price for the Notes and setting forth (a) the name and address of the transferee bank and the name and telephone number of a contact person at such bank, (b) such transferee bank’s ABA number, (c) the account name and number into which the purchase price for the Notes is to be deposited and (d) the name and telephone number of a Responsible Officer of the Company responsible for (1) verifying receipt of the funds and (2) verifying the information set forth in the instructions. Each Purchaser has the right, but not the obligation, upon written notice (which may be by email) to the Company, to elect to deliver a micro deposit (less than $51.00) to the account identified in the written instructions no later than two Business Days prior to Closing. If a Purchaser delivers a micro deposit, a Responsible Officer must verbally verify the receipt and amount of the micro deposit to such Purchaser on a telephone call initiated by such Purchaser prior to Closing. The Company shall not be obligated to return the amount of the micro deposit, nor will the amount of the micro deposit be netted against the Purchaser’s purchase price of the Notes.

Section 4.11. Evidence of a Rating. Such Purchaser shall have received evidence from Fitch that either (a) the Company or (b) each series of the Notes, as of the date of the Closing, has a rating of at least “BBB.” If such rating is not a public rating, the evidence of such rating shall satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 9.8(c).

Section 4.12. Evidence of Investment Grade Release under Bank Credit Agreement. Such Purchaser shall have received evidence from the Company that the Investment Grade Release (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) shall have occurred.

Section 4.13. Proceedings and Documents.

Section 5.5. Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of such financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments). The Company and the Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes will not (1) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter, regulations or by-laws, shareholders agreement or any other material agreement or instrument to which the

-6-

Company or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or (3) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary.

Section 5.7. Governmental Authorizations, Etc. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or the Notes.

Section 5.8. Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.

(a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority as to which there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) None of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent Entity is (1) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (2) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, any arbitrator of any kind or any Governmental Authority or (3) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority (including Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), in the case of each of clauses (1) through (3), which default or violation could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9. Taxes.

(a) The Company and the Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments or filings related thereto (1) the amount of which, individually or in the aggregate, is not Material or (2) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the

-7-

Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of U.S. federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The U.S. federal income tax liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

(b) The Parent (1) qualifies as a REIT, (2) has elected to be treated as a REIT and has not revoked its election to be a REIT and (3) is in material compliance with all other requirements and conditions imposed under the Code to allow it to maintain its status as a REIT.

Section 5.10. Title to Property; Leases. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to, or valid leasehold interests in, their respective properties (whether owned or leased) that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary after such date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. Each of the assets included as Unencumbered Assets for purposes of the Financial Covenants satisfies the requirements for an Unencumbered Asset set forth in the definition thereof. As of the date of the Closing, Schedule 5.10 sets forth a list of the Unencumbered Assets and the Direct Owners thereof.

Section 5.11. Licenses, Permits, Etc.

(a) The Company and the Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto necessary for the conduct of its respective business, without known conflict with the rights of others;

(b) to the best knowledge of the Company, no product or service of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries infringes in any respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person; and

(c) to the best knowledge of the Company, there is no violation by any Person of any right of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries with respect to any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, except in any of the foregoing clauses (a) through (c) as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-8-

Section 5.12. Compliance with Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to section 430(k) of the Code or to any such penalty or excise tax provisions under the Code or federal law or section 4068 of ERISA or by the granting of a security interest in connection with the amendment of a Plan, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material.

(b) The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.

(c) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the remaining term of such Note as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to the remaining term of such Note, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (1) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (2) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (i) closest to and greater than the remaining term of such Note and (ii) closest to and less than the remaining term of such Note. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with

-21-

respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (A) 0.50% plus (B) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the remaining term of such Note as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the remaining term of such Note, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (I) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than the remaining term of such Note and (II) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than the remaining term of such Note. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change of Control. If a Change of Control shall occur, the Company shall within 10 Business Days thereafter give written notice thereof (a “Change of Control Prepayment Notice”) to each holder of Notes, which notice shall (1) refer specifically to this Section 8.7 and describe in reasonable detail such Change of Control and (2) offer to prepay on a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such Change of Control Prepayment Notice (the “Change of Control Prepayment Date”) the Notes of such holder, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued thereon to the Change of Control Prepayment Date, (3) specify the Change of Control Response Date (as defined below) and (4) state that the failure by a holder to respond to such offer by the Change of Control Response Date shall result in such offer to such holder being deemed rejected. Each such notice shall also specify the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid and the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Change of Control Prepayment Date. Each holder of a Note shall notify the Company of such holder’s acceptance or rejection of such offer by giving written notice of such acceptance or rejection to the Company on a date at least 10 Business Days prior to the Change of Control Prepayment Date (such date 10 Business Days prior to the Change of Control Prepayment Date being the “Change of Control Response Date”). The Company shall prepay on the Change of Control Prepayment Date all of the Notes held by each holder that has accepted such offer in accordance with this Section 8.7 at a price in respect of each such Note held by such holder equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued thereon

-22-

to the Change of Control Prepayment Date. The failure by a holder of any Note to respond to such offer in writing on or before the Change of Control Response Date shall be deemed to be a rejection

Section 8.8. Optional Prepayment at Par. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay (a) all of the Series A Notes then outstanding at any time during the 30-day period immediately preceding the Maturity Date of the Series A Notes or (b) all of the Series B Notes then outstanding any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Maturity Date of the Series B Notes, in each case at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment. The Company will give each holder of Notes of the series to be prepaid (with a copy to each other holder of the Notes) written notice of each optional prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.8 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment; provided that any prepayment of the Series A Notes under this Section 8.8 shall not occur prior to the date that is 30 days preceding the Maturity Date of the Series A Notes and any prepayment of the Series B Notes under this Section 8.8 shall not occur prior to the date that is 90 days preceding the Maturity Date of the Series B Notes. Each such notice shall specifically refer to this Section 8.8 and shall specify the prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of the series to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note of such series held by such holder to be prepaid, and the accrued interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid.

Section 8.9. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) except as set forth in clause (b), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (b) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

-23-

franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2. Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each Guarantor and each of the Subsidiaries to, maintain (either directly or indirectly by causing its tenants to maintain), with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations.

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties.

Section 9.6. Books and Records. The Company will, and will cause each Guarantor and each of the Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the corresponding “burdensome agreements” covenant set forth (1) in any Material Credit Facility is amended to be more or less restrictive than the foregoing covenant (herein, the “Burdensome Agreements Covenant”), then the foregoing Burdensome Agreements Covenant shall be deemed automatically amended in this Agreement to reflect the then most restrictive corresponding “burdensome agreements” covenant set forth in any Material Credit Facility or (2) in each Material Credit Facility is deleted or otherwise removed from or is no longer in effect, then the Burdensome Agreements Covenant shall, for as long as such corresponding covenant is deleted, otherwise removed from or no longer effective under each Material Credit Facility, be deemed no longer in effect under this Agreement; provided that the Burdensome Agreements Covenant shall not be deemed automatically amended in a manner that would cause it to become less restrictive or deemed no longer in effect if at the time thereof a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 10.7. Financial Covenants.

-29-

(a) Maximum Total Leverage Ratio. The Company will not, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, permit the Total Leverage Ratio to exceed 60%; provided that the Company may elect that such ratio be permitted to exceed 60% in the fiscal quarter in which a Significant Acquisition occurs and for the three consecutive full fiscal quarters immediately thereafter, but in no event shall such ratio exceed 65% as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; provided however that the Company may not make any such election if, during the fiscal quarter in which such Significant Acquisition occurs or any of the three consecutive full fiscal quarters immediately thereafter, the maximum “total leverage ratio” that would be permitted under any public bond indenture of the Company is 60% or less. For purposes of determining the Total Leverage Ratio, (1) Total Outstanding Indebtedness shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the aggregate amount of Unrestricted Cash to the extent available for the repayment of Total Outstanding Indebtedness to the extent that there is an equivalent amount of funded Indebtedness included in Total Outstanding Indebtedness that matures within 24 months from the applicable date of the calculation and (2) Total Asset Value shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount by which Total Outstanding Indebtedness is adjusted pursuant to clause (1) above.

(b) Maximum Secured Leverage Ratio. The Company will not, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, permit Total Outstanding Secured Indebtedness to exceed 45% of Total Asset Value. For purposes of this covenant, (1) Total Outstanding Secured Indebtedness shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount of Unrestricted Cash to the extent that there is an equivalent amount of funded Secured Indebtedness included in Total Outstanding Secured Indebtedness that matures within 24 months from the applicable date of the calculation (excluding any such Unrestricted Cash used to determine the unencumbered leverage ratio pursuant to clause (c) below as of such date) and (2) Total Asset Value shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount by which Total Outstanding Secured Indebtedness is adjusted pursuant to clause (1) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, secure any Indebtedness outstanding under or pursuant to any Material Credit Facility unless and until the Notes (any Guaranty Agreement and any other guarantee delivered in connection therewith) shall concurrently be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders in substance and in form, including an intercreditor agreement and, if so requested by the Required Holders, opinions of counsel to the Company and/or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, from counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders.

(c) Maximum Unencumbered Leverage Ratio. The Company will not, at any time, permit Total Outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness (including the Notes) to exceed 60% of the Unencumbered Asset Value; provided that the Company may elect that such ratio be permitted to exceed 60% in the fiscal quarter in which a Significant Acquisition occurs and for the three consecutive full fiscal quarters immediately thereafter, but in no

-30-

event shall such ratio exceed 65%; provided however that the Company may not make any such election if, during the fiscal quarter in which such Significant Acquisition occurs or any of the three consecutive full fiscal quarters immediately thereafter, the maximum “unencumbered leverage ratio” that would be permitted under any public bond indenture of the Company is 60% or less. For purposes of this covenant, (1) Total Outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount of Unrestricted Cash to the extent that there is an equivalent amount of funded Unsecured Indebtedness included in Total Outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness that matures within 24 months from the applicable date of the calculation (excluding any such Unrestricted Cash used to determine the secured leverage ratio pursuant to clause (b) above as of such date) and (2) Unencumbered Asset Value shall be adjusted by deducting therefrom the amount by which Total Outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness is adjusted pursuant to clause (1) above. For purposes of complying with Section 7.2(a), the calculation of this covenant shall be made as of last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company.

(d) Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Company will not, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, permit EBITDA of the Company to be less than 1.5 times Fixed Charges (the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”), all for the four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company then most recent ended.

(e) Minimum Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio. The Company will not, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, permit Unencumbered NOI to be less than 1.75 times Total Unsecured Interest Expense (the “Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio”), all for the four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company then most recently ended.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the corresponding “unsecured interest coverage ratio” covenant set forth (1) in any Material Credit Facility is amended to be more or less restrictive than the foregoing covenant (herein, the “Unsecured Interest Ratio Covenant”), then the Unsecured Interest Ratio Covenant shall be deemed automatically amended in this Agreement to reflect the then most restrictive corresponding “unsecured interest coverage ratio” covenant set forth in any Material Credit Facility or (2) in each Material Credit Facility is deleted or otherwise removed from or is no longer in effect, then the Unsecured Interest Ratio Covenant shall, for as long as such corresponding covenant is deleted, otherwise removed from or no longer effective under each Material Credit Facility, be deemed no longer in effect under this Agreement; provided that the Unsecured Interest Ratio Covenant shall not be deemed automatically amended in a manner that would cause it to become less restrictive or deemed no longer in effect if at the time thereof a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(f) Maximum Secured Recourse Leverage Ratio. The Company will not, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, permit Total Outstanding Secured Recourse Indebtedness to

-31-

exceed 5% of Total Asset Value (the “Secured Recourse Leverage Ratio”) at any time that the Company does not have an Investment Grade Rating.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the corresponding “secured recourse leverage ratio” covenant set forth (1) in any Material Credit Facility is amended to be more or less restrictive than the foregoing covenant (herein, the “Secured Recourse Leverage Ratio Covenant”), then the Secured Recourse Leverage Ratio Covenant shall be deemed automatically amended in this Agreement to reflect the then most restrictive corresponding “secured recourse leverage ratio” covenant set forth in any Material Credit Facility or (2) in each Material Credit Facility is deleted or otherwise removed from or is no longer in effect, then the Secured Recourse Leverage Ratio Covenant shall, for as long as such corresponding covenant is deleted, otherwise removed from or no longer effective under each Material Credit Facility, be deemed no longer in effect under this Agreement; provided that the Secured Recourse Leverage Ratio Covenant shall not be deemed automatically amended in a manner that would cause it to become less restrictive or deemed no longer in effect if at the time thereof a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(g) Calculation of Financial Covenants. For purposes of calculating the Financial Covenants under this Agreement:

(1) for any period, the Financial Covenants shall be calculated based upon the most recent quarter-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b), on a pro forma basis, giving effect to any asset disposition or acquisition during such period (in each case, in excess of, in any individual transaction or series of transactions (calculated based on the cumulative effect of any acquisitions offsetting corresponding dispositions in any series of transactions), 5.00% of the number of Owned Properties) and any incurrence, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness during such period, in the case of any calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio, with such asset disposition or acquisition or such incurrence, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness being deemed to have occurred as of the first day of the period for which such Financial Covenants are being determined; and

(2) the Financial Covenants set forth in Sections 10.7(a), (b), (d), and (f) with respect to any Investment Affiliate or any Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall be calculated in a manner such that only the Ownership Share of the applicable Investment Affiliate or Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall be taken into account, so that the Company will be credited (or debited, if applicable) only with the Ownership Share of the direct and indirect definitional and other components that are included in the calculation of such Financial Covenants.

Section 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest accrued thereon at the applicable Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount, shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained

-36-

herein or in any Note or any Guaranty Agreement, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the applicable Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Guaranty Agreement or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes of the same series pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.
