date of the proposed transfer (as a result of restrictions under U.S. securities law, or the terms of the Indenture or the Notes) other than as a result of the Notes bearing a Restricted Securities Legend (and compliance with the procedural
requirements herein) and a restricted CUSIP, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes, which shall accrue at a rate of 0.50% per annum, (i) from and including the later of the date six months after the Original Issuance Date
and the first date on which such failure to file exists or (ii) the Notes are not freely tradable, as the case may be, until the earlier of (a) the Scheduled Free Trade Date and (b) the date on which such failure to file has been

 (c) Section 4.06 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to
read as follows: 
 “Section 4.06. Delivery of Certain Information. If, at any time, the Guarantor is not
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes or any Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof will, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, upon the request of any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of the Notes or any Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of Notes, promptly furnish to such Holder, beneficial owner or prospective

amended and restated in full to read as follows: 
 “If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding January 1, 2019, the Guarantor elects to: 
 (A) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common
Shares any rights, options or warrants (other than any issuance of any rights, options or warrants issued under a shareholder rights plan that are (i) transferable with Common Shares, including upon conversion, and (ii) not exercisable
until the occurrence of a triggering event; provided that such rights, options or warrants will be deemed issued under this clause (iv)(A) upon the separation of such rights, options or warrants from the Common Shares, or upon the occurrence of such
triggering event) entitling them, for a period of not more than forty five (45) calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the
Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or 

(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares the Guarantor’s assets, securities or rights to
purchase securities of the Guarantor (excluding for this purpose a distribution solely in the form of cash required to preserve the Guarantor’s status as a REIT), which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Board
of Trustees, exceeding ten percent 

  
 7 








 
(10%) of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, 

then, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) at
least twenty five (25) Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time until the
earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and (2) the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, in each
case, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Notes will not
become convertible pursuant to the provisions set forth in this clause (iv) if Holders of the Notes participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Shares and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the
transactions described in this clause (iv) without having to convert their Notes as if they held, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes so held, a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate.” 

(g) Section 10.01(b)(v) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows: 

“If a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change or a Make Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding January 1, 2019, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 11.01, or if the Guarantor is a party to a
consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case, pursuant to which the Common Shares would be converted
into cash, securities or other assets, all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the effective date of the transaction or event until thirty five (35) Trading Days after the actual
effective date of such transaction or event or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than
the Trustee) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction. 
 (h)
Section 10.02(j) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows: 
 “The Company shall
not deliver any fractional Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Common Shares issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP 

  
 8 








 
for the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP for the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination
Settlement). For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected (or is deemed to have elected) Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period, and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.” 

(i) Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b), 10.04(c), 10.04(d), 10.04(e), 10.04(f)(i), 10.04(j), 10.04(m), 10.08 and 10.10 of the
Indenture shall be amended to replace references to “the Company” with references to “the Guarantor.” 

(j) Section 10.04(i) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows: 

“In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 10.04,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Guarantor’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a
period of at least twenty (20) Business Days if the Board of Trustees determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any
exchange on which any of the Guarantor’s securities are then listed, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Shares or rights to purchase Common Shares in
connection with a dividend or distribution of Common Shares (or rights to acquire Common Shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall send to the Holder of
each Note a notice of the increase at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.” 

(k) Section 10.06 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows: 

“Section 10.06. Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Guarantor shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient Common Shares to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of
shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder and that Physical Settlement is applicable).” 
 (l) The
first paragraph of Section 10.07(a) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows: 

“(a) In the case of: 

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Shares (other than changes in par value, from par value to
no par value or from no par value to par value or resulting from a subdivision or combination), 

  
 9 








 (ii) any consolidation, merger, conversion or combination involving the Company
or the Guarantor, 
 (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of all or substantially all of the
consolidated assets of the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or 

(iv) any statutory share exchange, 

in each case, as a result of which the Common Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive,
stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event,” and such stock, securities, property or assets, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of
Reference Property that a holder of one (1) Common Share would be entitled to receive on account of such transaction, disregarding any provision providing for the payment of cash in lieu of any fractional unit of property, a “Reference
Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, at the effective time of such Merger Event, the consideration due upon conversion of any Notes shall be determined in the same manner as if each
reference to any number of Common Shares in this Article 10 were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units. For these purposes, the Daily VWAP or Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof
that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount
thereof).” 
 (m) Section 10.07(c) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows: 

“Neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this
Section 10.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash, Common Shares or a combination of cash and Common Shares, as applicable, as set forth in Section 10.01 and
Section 10.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.” 
 (n) Section 10.11 of the Indenture is
hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows: 
 “Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or the
Notes, no Holder of Notes shall be entitled to convert such Notes into Common Shares to the extent that 

  
 10 








 
receipt of such shares would cause such Holder (or any other person) to violate the ownership limitations contained in the Guarantor’s charter (as then amended, supplemented or restated)
that apply to holders of the Common Shares (the “Ownership Limitations”). 
 If any delivery of Common
Shares owed to a Holder upon conversion of Notes is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such
shares as promptly as reasonably practicable after any such converting Holder (x) to the extent applicable, gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such Holder being the beneficial or constructive owner of more than
the then-applicable limit, if any, set forth in the Ownership Limitations and (y) provides the Company with any other information that the Company may reasonably request from such Holder in connection with confirming that such delivery would
not otherwise violate the Ownership Limitations.” 
 (o) Section 12.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended and
restated in full to read as follows: 
 “Section 12.01. Redemption to Preserve REIT Status. No sinking fund shall be required
for the Notes. The Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the Maturity Date except to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to preserve the Guarantor’s status as a REIT. If the Company determines that it is necessary to
redeem the Notes prior to the Maturity Date to preserve the Guarantor’s status as a REIT, the Company may redeem (a “Redemption”) for cash all or part of the Notes as necessary to preserve REIT status, at the Redemption
Price.” 
 (p) Section 13.12 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows: 

“Section 13.12. Notices. Any notice or communication by the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee to the other, or
by a Holder to the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee, is duly given if in writing and delivered in person or mailed by first class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), facsimile transmission, email or overnight air courier

Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantee or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.”

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder and its
successors and assigns that: (x) the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), the Conversion Obligation with respect to, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in
full and/or performed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture when due, whether at the Maturity Date, upon declaration of acceleration, upon required repurchase, upon conversion or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal and (to the
extent permitted by law) any interest, if any, on the Notes and (y) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, required repurchase, conversion or otherwise. Furthermore, subject to the provisions of this Article 3, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally
guarantees to the Trustee and to each Holder and their respective successors and assigns that (z) all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes (including fees, expenses or other) shall be duly
and punctually paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof, subject, however, in the case of clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 3.02 hereof (the obligations set forth in this
Section 3.01 collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”). The Guarantee constitutes a general unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Guarantor. 

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to
pay or perform the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (b) The
Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder
with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, 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 guarantor.
The Guarantor hereby waives 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 covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes or this Indenture.

 (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company,
the Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor any amount paid to either the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged,
will be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation
to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other
hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. 
 (e) This Note 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, reorganization, or other similar proceeding, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent
transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be
reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (f) In case any provision of
this Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

(g) Each payment to be made by the Guarantor in respect of the Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or
diminution of any kind or nature. 
 (h) The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge that the allotment, issuance and delivery of Common
Shares, if any, hereunder (whether upon exchange, under the terms of the Note Guarantee or otherwise) by the Guarantor at the direction of the Company will create an equivalent debt owing from the Company to the Guarantor. 

Section 3.2. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Note Guarantee, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that this Note Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or 

  
 14 








 
conveyance for purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor will be limited to the maximum
amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the Note Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable local law. 
 Section 3.3. Notation Not Required. The Guarantor hereby agrees
that the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 3.1 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Note Guarantee. 

Section 3.4. Release of Note Guarantee. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with Article 3 of the
Indenture, the Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under the Note Guarantee. 
 Section 3.5. Subrogation.
The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid
in full. 
 Section 3.6. Benefits Acknowledged. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits
from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to the Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
