 Section 2.5 Method of Payment. 

Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, initially located at 111 Fillmore
Avenue E, St. Paul, Minnesota 55107. The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears in the security register; provided, however, that a
Holder of any Notes in certificated form in the aggregate principal amount of more than $2,000,000 may specify by written notice to the Company (with a copy to the Trustee) that it pay interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account specified by the Holder in such notice, or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder registered as such on the relevant Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the
Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: 
 (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any
Defaulted Interest to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall
consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special
record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment (unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be sent to each Holder at its address as it appears in the security register, not less than 

  
 10 













 
10 calendar days prior to such special record date (unless, the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date
therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
clause (b) of this Section 2.5. 
 (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if,
after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

Section 2.6 Currency. 

Principal and interest on the Notes shall be payable in U.S. Dollars. 

Section 2.7 Additional Notes. 

The Company will be entitled, without the consent of any Holders of the Notes, upon delivery of an Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of
Counsel and Authentication Order to the Trustee, and, subject to its compliance with Section 6.1, to issue Additional Notes under the Indenture that will have identical terms to the Initial Notes issued on the date of the Indenture other than
with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, interest accrued prior to the date of issuance of the Additional Notes, and, if applicable, the initial Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if such Additional Notes will not be
fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. Such Additional Notes will rank equally and ratably in right of payment and will be treated as a single series for all
purposes under the Indenture. 
 With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company will set forth in a Board Resolution of the sole member
of the General Partner and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: 

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to the Indenture; and 

(b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes. 

Section 2.8 Redemption. 

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the Stated Maturity as provided in Article IV. 

Section 2.9 No Sinking Fund. 

The provisions of Article XI of the Base Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.

 Section 2.10 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Trustee shall initially serve as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. 

ARTICLE III. 
 FORM OF
THE SECURITIES 
 Section 3.1 Global Form. 

The Notes shall initially be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Notes that will be deposited with, or on behalf of the
Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, subject to Sections 2.7 and 2.14 of the Base Indenture. So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of the Global Note, the
Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole Holder of the Notes represented by the Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. 

The Notes shall not be issuable in definitive form except as provided in Section 3.2(a) of this First Supplemental Indenture. The Notes
and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Base Indenture, authenticate and
hold each Global Note as custodian for the Depositary. Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time
to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to
reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Registrar or the custodian, at the direction of the Trustee. The terms and provisions contained in the form
of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this First
Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 
 Participants of the Depositary shall have
no rights either under the Indenture or with respect to the Global Notes. The Depositary or its nominee, as applicable, may be treated by the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee as the
absolute owner and Holder of such Global Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depositary or its nominee, as applicable, or impair, as between the Depositary and its participants, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a
beneficial interest in the Global Notes. 

  
 12 













 Section 3.2 Transfer and Exchange. 

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such
Global Note to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All
Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if: 
 (1) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered
as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of the notification to the Company or of the Company becoming aware of the Depositary ceasing to be so registered; 

(2) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such Global Note shall be
so exchangeable; or 
 (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Global Note.

 Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the
Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.8 and 2.11 of the Base Indenture. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global
Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.2 or Section 2.8 and 2.11 of the Base Indenture, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note
other than as provided in this Section 3.2(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 3.2(b) or (c). 

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or
(2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable: 
 (1) Transfer of
Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be
required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 3.2(b)(1). 
 (2) All
Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 3.2(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must
deliver to the Registrar either: 

  
 13 













 both: 

(A) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and 

(B) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to
be credited with such increase; or 
 both: 

(C) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and 

(D) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such
Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (b)(1) above. 
 Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for
transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s)
pursuant to Section 3.2(g). 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Definitive Notes. If any
holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then, upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(b)(2) and written notice to the Trustee, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 3.2(g)
hereof, and the Company will execute and, upon the receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note
issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions
to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. 

  
 14 













 (d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global
Notes. A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time.
Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes. If any such exchange or transfer from
a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to the previous sentence at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 3.2,
the Trustee will authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so transferred. 

(e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon the written request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such
Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.2(e), the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender
to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the
requesting Holder must provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 3.2(e). A Holder of Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who
takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note. Upon receipt of a written request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Definitive Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof. 

(f) Legend. Each Global Note issued under the Indenture, unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of the
Indenture, will bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE
INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE
REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.2 OF THE FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.2(a) OF THE FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO
THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.12 OF THE BASE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ESSENTIAL PROPERTIES, L.P., AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE
OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE
DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE 

  
 15 













 
DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY GLOBAL NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE
NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.” 

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been
exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 of
the Base Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for
Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such
reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an
endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. 

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. 

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes
and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order or at the Registrar’s request. 
 (2) No service charge
will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.11 and 9.6 of the Base Indenture and Section 4.3 of this First
Supplemental Indenture). 
 (3) [Reserved] 

(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive
Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

  
 16 













 (5) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required: 

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen
days before any selection of Notes for redemption under Article IV and ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of Notes to be so redeemed; or 

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or 
 (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record
date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
 (6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any
Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (7) The Trustee
will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof. 
 (8) All
certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 3.2 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 

(i) In connection with any proposed transfer outside the book-entry system, there shall be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to
allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the information provided
to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. 
 (j) None of the Trustee or any Agent shall
have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers
between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly. 


  
 17 













 ARTICLE IV. 

REDEMPTION OF NOTES 
 The
provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture, as amended by the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Notes. 

Section 4.1 Optional Redemption of Notes. 

The Notes shall be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price (the
“Redemption Price”) calculated by the Company and equal to the sum of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the Redemption Date plus
(2) a Make-Whole Premium; provided that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such
Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption) and the Redemption Price shall not include accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up
to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, up to, but not including, the Redemption Date, without a Make-Whole Premium. The Company shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.1 if on any date 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 4.2 Notice of Optional Redemption, Selection of
Notes. 
 (a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant
to Section 4.1, it shall fix a date for redemption 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 sent, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed, or sent by electronic transmission, a notice of such redemption not fewer than fifteen calendar days but not more than sixty
calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its last address as the same appears on the security register; provided that if the Company makes such request of the Trustee, it shall, together with such
request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, provided further that the text of the notice shall be prepared by the Company. Such mailing shall be by first class mail or by electronic transmission. The notice, if
sent 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 electronic submission 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. 

  
 18 













 (b) Each such notice of 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 thereon or on the portion thereof 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 Note in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
 (c) On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given
as provided in this Section 4.2, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.5 of the Base Indenture) 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; 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 Company shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 4.2 in excess of
amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price. 
 (d) If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed at the
Company’s option, the Trustee will select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Notes or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed by lot, subject to Applicable Procedures (in the case of Global Notes), in minimum denominations of
$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof. 

Section 4.3 Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Company. 

(a) If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 4.2, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has
been given shall become due and payable and if the Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Company
defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, then on and after such date (i) interest, if any, will cease to accrue on any Notes called for redemption at the Redemption Date, (ii) on and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company
defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Notes shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under the Indenture and (iii) the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the
Redemption Price thereof. 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 Company at the Redemption Price, together with
interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Such will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes in book-entry form is made and whether or not the Notes in certificated form, together with necessary
endorsements, are delivered to the Paying Agent; provided, however, if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date. 

  
 19 













 (b) Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Notes so presented. 
 ARTICLE V. 

GUARANTEE 
 Sections 5.1,
5.2 and 5.3 hereof shall replace Sections 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes and the Note Guarantee. 

Section 5.1 Note Guarantee. 

(a) Subject to this Article 5, the Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that: 
 (1) the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, irrespective of the validity and
enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company under the Indenture or the Notes, and interest, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture
or the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms under the Indenture or the Notes; and 

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be
promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to
pay 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 under the Indenture and the Notes are full and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of the Indenture or the Notes, the 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 the 

  
 20 













 
Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes entitled to the Guarantee, whether at the Stated Maturity or upon
acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company. The Guarantor hereby (i) 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 (ii) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee may be transferred and
that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without notice to it and (iii) covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the Indenture and the Notes. 
 (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 by either to 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 Article VII 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 Article VII, such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. 
 Section 5.2 Execution and Delivery
of Note Guarantee. 
 To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 5.1, the Guarantor hereby agrees that this First
Supplemental Indenture will be executed on its behalf by one of its Officers. If an Officer whose signature is on this First Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Note
Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this First Supplemental
Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor. 
 Section 5.3 Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability. 

The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note
Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance 

  
 21 













 
Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to the 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 not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws,
result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Note Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 Section 5.4
Application of Certain Terms and Provisions to the Guarantor. 
 (a) For purposes of any provision of the Indenture which provides for
the delivery by the Guarantor of an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, the definitions of such terms in Section 1.2 shall apply to the Guarantor as if references therein to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, were
references to the Guarantor. 
 (b) Upon any demand, request or application by the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under the
Indenture, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as are required in Section 10.1 as if all references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor. 

ARTICLE VI. 
 ADDITIONAL
COVENANTS 
 The covenants set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.3 and 4.4 of the Base Indenture and the following additional covenants shall
apply with respect to the Notes so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding: 
 Section 6.1 Limitations on
Incurrence of Debt. 
 (a) Aggregate Debt Test. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any
Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds of such additional Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all the Guarantor’s outstanding Debt and that
of its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication): 

(1) the Guarantor’s Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form
10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, furnished to the
Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt; and 
 (2) the purchase price of any real estate assets or
mortgages receivable acquired, and the 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 Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt. 

  
 22 













 (b) Debt Service Test. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Service Charge for the most recent quarterly period covered in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form
10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, furnished to the
Trustee) prior to such time, annualized (i.e., multiplied by four) prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5, on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the application of the
proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that: 
 (1) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Guarantor or
its Subsidiaries since the first day of such quarterly period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt since the first day of such period, had occurred at the beginning of such period; 

(2) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt (other than Debt repaid or retired with the proceeds of any other Debt, which
repayment or retirement shall be calculated pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(1) and not this Section 6.1(b)(2)) by the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such quarterly period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such
period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); 

(3) in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any
acquisition since the first day of such quarterly period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and

 (4) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of
assets since the first day of such quarterly period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition and any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the
appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation. 
 If the Debt giving rise to the need
to make the calculation described in this Section 6.1 or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant quarterly period bears interest at a floating rate (to the extent such Debt has been hedged to bear interest at a fixed rate,
only the portion of such Debt, if any, that has not been so hedged), then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt will be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate that would have
been in effect during the entire such period had been the applicable rate for the entire such period. 

  
 23 













 (c) Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Guarantor and its Subsidiaries may
not at any time own Total Unencumbered Assets equal to less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. 

(d) Secured Debt Test. The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt secured by any mortgage,
lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest upon any of the Guarantor’s property or the property of any of its Subsidiaries, whether owned at the date hereof or hereafter acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the
incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Guarantor’s outstanding Debt and the outstanding Debt of its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for borrowed money
that is secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge, encumbrance or security interest on the Guarantor’s property or the property of any of its Subsidiaries is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication): 

(1) the Guarantor’s Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered in the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form
10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the SEC (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, furnished to the
Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt; and 
 (2) the purchase price of any real estate assets or
mortgages receivable acquired, and the 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 Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt. 
 For
purposes of this Section 6.1, Debt shall be deemed to be “incurred” by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries whenever the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof.
Furthermore, nothing in the covenants described under this Section 6.1 shall prevent the incurrence by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of Debt between or among the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries. 

Section 6.2 Existence. 

Except as permitted by Section 6.3, the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect the existence, rights, both charter and statutory, and franchises of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Guarantor will not be required to take any such action to preserve and keep in full force and effect
the existence of any Subsidiary or preserve and keep in force and effect any such right or franchise if the Guarantor determines that the preservation of such existence or the right or franchise is no longer desirable in the conduct of the
Guarantor’s business and that the loss of such existence, right or franchise is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 

  
 24 













 Section 6.3 Merger, Consolidation or Sale. 

The Company or the Guarantor may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its respective assets to, or merge with
or into, any other entity, provided that the following conditions are met: 
 (a) the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be,
shall be the continuing entity, or the successor entity (if other than the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be) formed by or resulting from any consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of assets shall be an entity
organized and existing under U.S. laws and expressly assume payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, all of the Notes and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions in the
Indenture; 
 (b) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default under the Indenture, and no event which, after
notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (c) an Officer’s
Certificate covering these conditions shall be delivered to the Trustee. 
 In the case of any such consolidation, sale, conveyance or
merger, but not a lease, in a transaction in which there is a successor entity, the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Indenture and, subject to the terms of the
Indenture, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from their respective obligations, as the case may be, under the Indenture. 

Section 6.4 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 

The Guarantor will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or upon the Guarantor’s or any such Subsidiary’s income, profits or property and all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid,
might by law become a lien upon the Guarantor’s or any such Subsidiary’s property; provided, however, that the Guarantor will not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or
claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and provided further that, if a tenant or borrower of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries fails to meet a contractual obligation to pay
taxes, assessments or governmental charges related to property leased from or financed by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, it will not constitute a violation if the Guarantor pays or discharges or causes to be paid or discharged any such
tax, assessment or charge promptly following its actual awareness of such failure. 
 Section 6.5 Provision of Financial
Information. 
 For so long as any Notes are outstanding, if at any time the Guarantor is not subject to the periodic reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Guarantor will, at the Guarantor’s option, either (i) file with the SEC or (ii) post on the Guarantor’s website and will deliver to the Trustee within 15 days of the filing
date that would be applicable to a non-accelerated filer at that time pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations, the quarterly and audited annual financial statements and accompanying
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis 

  
 25 













 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that would have been required to be contained in annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports
on Form 10-Q, respectively, had the Guarantor been subject to such Exchange Act reporting requirements. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether or not such reports, information, statements or
documents have been filed, posted or delivered. Delivery of such reports, information, statements and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute notice of any information
contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or the Guarantor’s compliance with any of the covenants under the Indenture. 

Reports, information and documents filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of
such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this Section 6.5; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed via EDGAR. Delivery
of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including the Company’s or the Guarantor’s compliance with any of the covenants relating to the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). 

Section 6.6 Maintenance of Properties. 

The Guarantor will cause all of its properties used or useful in the conduct of the Guarantor’s business or the business of any of its
Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order, normal wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted, and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements of the Guarantor’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, all as in the Guarantor’s judgment may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and
advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries will not be prevented from selling or otherwise disposing for value the Guarantor’s or its Subsidiaries’ properties in the ordinary
course of business. 
 Section 6.7 Insurance. 

The Guarantor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep in force upon all of its properties and operations policies of insurance
carried with responsible companies in such amounts and covering all such risks as shall be customary in the industry in accordance with prevailing market conditions and availability.

and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 7.1(f), 7.1(g) or 7.1(h) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on all outstanding Notes shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 

  
 28 













 At any time after the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, but before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, subject in all
respects to Section 6.13 of the Base Indenture, if: (a) the Company or the Guarantor has deposited with the Trustee all required payments of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes, plus the reasonable

accelerated principal of (or specified portion thereof), or premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall
affect any subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. The Company shall notify in writing a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, of any Event of Default, as provided in
Section 4.3 of the Base Indenture and the nature and status thereof. 
 ARTICLE VIII.

(i) to add guarantors with respect to the Notes; and 

(j) to conform the text of the Indenture, any Guarantee or the Notes to any provision of the description thereof set forth in the Prospectus

 Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors
of the sole member of the sole General Partner and the Board of Directors of the Guarantor, in each case, certified by the corresponding Secretary or Assistant Secretary, authorizing the execution of any supplemental indenture, the Trustee is hereby
authorized to join with the Company and the Guarantor in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer and
assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.

 Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 8.1 may be executed by the Company, the Guarantor and the
Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.2. 

Section 8.2 With Consent of Holders. 

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, the Company,
the Guarantor and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of modifying or amending provisions of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or modifying in any

 30 













 (e) make the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes payable in any
currency other than that stated in the Notes; 
 (f) make any change in Section 6.8 of the Base Indenture, 6.13 of the Base Indenture or

evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantor in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under the Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted
by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer’s Certificate or both stating that
the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by the Indenture, that all conditions precedent to the execution of such supplemental indenture have been complied with, and that the supplemental indenture is a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantor as applicable, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. 
 It shall not
be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 9.2 and, if applicable, Section 9.4. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the
