Section 2.02. Form, Dating and Denominations; Legends. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A. The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Notes annexed as Exhibit A constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. The Notes may have
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules of or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Issuer is subject, or usage. 

Section 2.03. Execution and Authentication; Additional Notes. (a) The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be
authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited; provided that upon initial issuance on the date hereof the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding shall not exceed $350,000,000, except for Notes issued upon exchange or
registration of transfer of other Notes as provided herein and except as provided in Section 2.04 and 3.03. The Issuer may, without the consent of or notice to the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes from time to time in the future with
the same terms, provisions and the same CUSIP number as the Notes issued on the date hereof, except for any difference in issue price, Interest accrued prior to the issue date and first Interest Payment Date of those additional Notes;
provided that such additional Notes shall be treated as part of the same issue as and fungible with the Notes issued on the date hereof for United States federal income tax purposes and shall carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid
Interest as the other Notes then outstanding; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for United States federal income tax purposes, the additional Notes will have a
separate CUSIP number and (ii) if the Issuer has effected legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 402 of the Indenture or has effected satisfaction and discharge with respect to the Notes
pursuant to Section 401 of the Indenture, no additional Notes may be issued. The Notes issued on the date hereof and any such additional Notes shall constitute a single series of debt securities, and in


  
 9 








 
circumstances in which the Indenture provides for the Holders of Notes to vote or take any action, the Holders of the Notes issued on the date hereof and any such additional Notes will vote or
take that action as a single class. 
 (b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Supplemental
Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication. The Trustee will authenticate and deliver 

(i) Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $350,000,000, and 

(ii) additional Notes from time to time for original issue in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Issuer. 

Section 2.04. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and
the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to maintain a Security Register of the Notes, for registering the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of the Notes. 

(b) (1) Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary
thereof, will bear the DTC Legend. 
 (2) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary.
Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (1) as set forth in Section 2.04(b)(4) and
(2) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in
accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section. 
 (3) Agent Members will have no
rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such
Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note
through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a holder of any security. 

  
 10 








 (4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from the
Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such
beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled. 
 (c) Each
Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its nominee. 
 (d) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial
interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or
requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document as the Trustee may reasonably request. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the
same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that 
 (x) no transfer or exchange will be
effective until it is registered in such register and 
 (y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before any selection of Notes for redemption, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a
partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or
exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and their agents will treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as
the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary. 

From time to time the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration
of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section. 
 No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange
of any Note, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange
pursuant to subsection (b)(4)).

 (e) (1) Global Note to Global Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is
transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or
exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or
exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange
restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 

(2) Global Note to Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a
Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations
having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable. 

(3) Certificated Note to Global Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a
Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or
exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred
or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 
 (4)
Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new
Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case
of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption of Notes. (a) The Issuer shall have the right, at its option, to redeem the Notes for cash
at any time or from time to time prior to January 1, 2025, in whole or in part, at a redemption price (with respect to the Notes to be redeemed on any Redemption Date pursuant to this Section 3.01(a), the “Redemption
Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and Interest on the Notes to be redeemed
(exclusive of Interest accrued to the applicable Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case,
accrued and unpaid Interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. In addition, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, at any time or from time to time on or after January 1, 2025,
in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid Interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date.

 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield
to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated by the Issuer using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury
Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the applicable Redemption Date and shall not be less than zero. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having
a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity

 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan
Stanley & Co. LLC or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and each of their respective successors (whichever shall be appointed by the Issuer in respect of the applicable Redemption Date) or, if any such firm or its respective successor, if any, is
unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Issuer. 

  
 13 








 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(i) if four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are obtained, the average (as calculated by the Issuer) of the remaining Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations from the four selected, (ii) if fewer than four but more than one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are obtained, the average (as calculated by the Issuer) of all such quotations, or (iii) if only one
such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is obtained, such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation. 
 “Reference Treasury
Dealer” means each of (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (or its successor) or an affiliate thereof which is a Primary Treasury Dealer; (ii) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (or its successor) or an affiliate thereof which is a
Primary Treasury Dealer; (iii) a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (or its successor); provided, however, that if any such firm (or, if applicable, any of their affiliates) or any of their successors, as the case
may be, shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (iv) one other Primary Treasury
Dealer selected by the Issuer. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury
Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average (as calculated by the Issuer) of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Issuer by such
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Issuer shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date. 

Section 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Notes. In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as
the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (the “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than five Business Days prior (or such
shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be mailed, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such redemption not fewer
than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Security Register; provided that the text of the notice shall be
prepared by the Issuer. Each such notice of 

  
 14 








 
redemption shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which
shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption Price at which Notes’ are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and (vi) that Interest accrued
and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date Interest on Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed,
the notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any). In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and
shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice, if mailed in the
manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for
redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. 
 Whenever any
Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer will give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Date, together with an Officers’ Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed not fewer than 30 days (or such shorter period
of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date. 
 On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of
redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Issuer will deposit with the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or the General Partner acting as its own Paying Agent) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on
the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, on the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed; provided that if such
payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Issuer shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant
to this Section 3.02 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, on the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed. 

If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Note or
the Certificated Notes to be redeemed (in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) on a pro rata basis or by another method that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate or that is
required by the Depositary. 

  
 15 








 Section 3.03. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Issuer. If notice
of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the
Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, thereon, and if the Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, thereon, then, on and after
such Redemption Date (a) such Notes will cease to be outstanding and (b) Interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, except as provided in Article 4 of the Indenture, such Notes shall cease
to be entitled to any benefit or security under the Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, thereon.
On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with Interest accrued thereon, if
any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
 Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented. 

Prior to the applicable Redemption Date, the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate that shall set forth the
applicable Redemption Price and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon the Issuer’s calculation
of the Redemption Price. 
 Section 3.04. Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund provided for the Notes. 

ARTICLE 4 

PARTICULAR COVENANTS 

Section 4.01. Aggregate Debt Test. The General Partner will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt
(including without limitation Acquired Debt) if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the
General Partner and its Subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) is greater than 60% of the sum of the following (without duplication): 

(a) the Total Assets of the General Partner and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter; and 

  
 16 








 (b) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and
the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries since the
end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt. 
 For purposes of this Section 4.01, Debt will be
deemed to be incurred by the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries whenever the General Partner or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. 

Section 4.02. Debt Service Test. The General Partner will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt
(including without limitation Acquired Debt) if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual Debt Service Charge for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on
which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5:1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance
with GAAP), and calculated on the following assumptions: 
 (a) such Debt and any other Debt (including without limitation Acquired Debt)
incurred by the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (including to repay or retire other Debt) had occurred, on the first day
of such period; 
 (b) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day
of such four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of such period (provided that, except to the extent set forth in clause (a) above or clause (c) below, in making this computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving
credit facility, line of credit or similar facility will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); and 

(c) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets with a
Fair Market Value in excess of $1.0 million since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, such acquisition or disposition had occurred as of the first day of such
period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation. 

  
 17 








 If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the calculation described in this Section 4.02 or any
other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt will be computed on a pro forma basis by
applying the average daily rate which would have been in effect during the entire four-quarter period to the greater of the amount of such Debt outstanding at the end of such period or the average amount of such Debt outstanding during such period.
For purposes of this Section 4.02, Debt will be deemed to be incurred by the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries whenever the General Partner or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof.

 Section 4.03. Secured Debt Test. The General Partner will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt
(including without limitation Acquired Debt) secured by any Lien on any property or assets of the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries, whether owned on the date of this Supplemental Indenture or subsequently acquired, if, immediately after
giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) of all outstanding Debt of the General
Partner and its Subsidiaries which is secured by a Lien on any property or assets of the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication): 

(a) the Total Assets of the General Partner and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter; and 

(b) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities
offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including
the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt. 
 For purposes of this Section 4.03, Debt will be deemed to be incurred
by the General Partner or any of its Subsidiaries whenever the General Partner or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. 

Section 4.04. Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The General Partner will not have at any time Total Unencumbered Assets of
less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Unsecured Debt of the General Partner and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.
