          (a) The aggregate principal amount of the 6.15% Notes shall be limited to $150,000,000,
provided that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Outstanding 6.15% Notes,
“reopen” this series of Securities so as to increase the aggregate principal amount of 6.15% Notes
Outstanding in compliance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture, including Sections 3.1
and 3.3 thereof, so long as any such additional notes have the same tenor and terms (including,
without limitation, rights to receive accrued and unpaid interest) as the 6.15% Notes then

          SECTION 2.3. Interest and Interest Rates; Maturity Date of 6.15% Notes.




          (a) The
6.15% Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.15% per annum, from
November 17, 2005 or
from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing
June 15, 2006 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), to the Person in whose name such 6.15% Note is
registered at the close of business on June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the
case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest
on the 6.15% Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months.




          (b) The interest so payable on any 6.15% Note which is not punctually paid or duly provided
for on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Person in whose name such 6.15% Note is registered on the relevant Regular Record Date, and such
Defaulted Interest shall instead be payable either (i) to the Person in whose name such 6.15% Note
is registered on the Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by
the Trustee, notice of which shall be given to the Holder of such 6.15% Note not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date or (ii) may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner in
accordance with the Indenture.




          (c) If any Interest Payment Date or Stated Maturity falls on a day that is not a Business Day,
the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such
payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Interest Payment Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.




          (d) The 6.15% Notes will mature on December 15, 2015.




          SECTION 2.4. Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness.




          (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Indebtedness if,
immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and the
application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness
of the Company and its Subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) is
greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication) (i) the Total Assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission
(or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the
incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and (ii) 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 Indebtedness), by the Company or any





8









 







Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection
with the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness.




          (b) In addition to the limitation set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 2.4, the Company
will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Indebtedness if the ratio of
Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service Charge for the four
consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional
Indebtedness is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5:1, on a pro forma basis after giving
effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption
that (i) such Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries
since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom,
including to refinance other Indebtedness, had occurred at the beginning of such period; (ii) the
repayment or retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Company and its Subsidiaries since the
first day of such four-quarter period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such period
(except that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit
facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such
period); (iii) in the case of Acquired Indebtedness or Indebtedness incurred in connection with any
acquisition since the first day of such four-quarter 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 (iv) in the case of any acquisition
or disposition by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets since the first
day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or
sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of Indebtedness 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.




          (c) In addition to the limitations set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.4,
the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Indebtedness secured by any
Encumbrance upon any of the property of the Company or any Subsidiary if, immediately after giving
effect to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds
thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) which is secured by any
Encumbrance on property of the Company or any Subsidiary is greater than 40% of the sum of (without
duplication) (i) the Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the calendar
quarter covered in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as
the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under
the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and
(ii) the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount
of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent that such proceeds were not used to
acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Indebtedness), by the Company
or any




9









 







Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection
with the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness.




          (d) The Company 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 Indebtedness of
the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.




          (e) For purposes of this Section 2.4, Indebtedness shall be deemed to be “incurred” by the
Company or a Subsidiary whenever the Company or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become liable in respect thereof.




          SECTION 2.5. Redemption.




          The 6.15% Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part,
at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal
amount of the 6.15% Notes being redeemed plus
accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with
respect to such 6.15% Notes (the “Redemption Price”).




          SECTION 2.6. Place of Payment.

interest due at Stated Maturity) may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer to
