 6 

 2.2.23 whether the Securities of such Series are entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee of any
Guarantor pursuant to this Indenture, whether any such Guarantee shall be made on a senior or subordinated basis and, if applicable, a description of the subordination terms of any such Guarantee. 

All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this
Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate referred to above. 

Section 2.3 Execution and Authentication. 

An Officer shall sign the Securities on behalf of the Operating Partnership by manual or facsimile signature. 

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall
nevertheless be valid. 
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee or an
authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The
Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of an
Operating Partnership Order. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 The aggregate principal amount of Securities of
any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2,
except as provided in Section 2.8. 
 Prior to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject
to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and
the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series; (b) an Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 10.4(a); and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4(b). 

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised
by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice presidents or a committee of
Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Operating Partnership to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent
may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Operating
Partnership or an Affiliate of the Operating Partnership. 
 Section 2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent. 

The Operating Partnership shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such
Series pursuant to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange (“Registrar”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Operating Partnership in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be delivered (“Notice Agent”). The Registrar shall keep
a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Operating Partnership will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar,
Paying Agent or Notice Agent. If at any time the Operating 

  
 7 

 
Partnership shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Operating Partnership hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

The Operating Partnership may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional
paying agents or additional notice agents and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Operating Partnership of its obligations to maintain a
Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Operating Partnership will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional notice agent. The term “Registrar” includes any
co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Notice Agent” includes any additional notice agent. The Operating Partnership or any of its
Affiliates may serve as Registrar or Paying Agent. 
 The Operating Partnership hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Registrar, Paying
Agent and Notice Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued. 

Section 2.5 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. 

The Operating Partnership shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust,
for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the
Operating Partnership in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Operating Partnership at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Operating Partnership or a
Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Operating Partnership, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities. 

Section 2.6 Securityholder Lists. 

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Securityholders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Operating Partnership shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and
at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, within 30 days of the receipt by the Operating Partnership of any such request, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of
Securityholders of each Series of Securities. 
 Section 2.7 Transfer and Exchange. 

Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to
register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of
transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s or a co-registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except
as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Operating Partnership 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 tax or similar
governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6). 

  
 8 

 Neither the Operating Partnership nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close
of business on the day of such mailing or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or
being called for redemption in part. 
 Section 2.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Operating Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

If there shall be delivered to the Operating Partnership and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security and (b) such security or indemnity bond as may be required by each of them to hold itself and any of its agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Operating Partnership or the Trustee that such Security has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Operating Partnership shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same
Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Operating Partnership in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Operating Partnership may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Operating Partnership, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section are exclusive and
shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

Section 2.9 Outstanding Securities. 

The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to
it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that
the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Operating Partnership, a Subsidiary of the
Operating Partnership or an Affiliate of the Operating Partnership) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series shall cease
to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue. 
 The Operating Partnership may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities,
whether by open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Operating Partnership or an Affiliate of the Operating Partnership holds the Security (subject to Section 2.10).

  
 9 

 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities
have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that
would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2. 

Section 2.10 Treasury Securities. 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Operating Partnership or any Affiliate of the Operating Partnership shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall
be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 

Section 2.11 Temporary Securities. 

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Operating Partnership may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary
Securities upon receipt of an Operating Partnership Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Operating Partnership considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Operating Partnership shall prepare, and the Trustee upon receipt of an Operating Partnership Order shall authenticate, definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary
Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as definitive Securities. 

Section 2.12 Cancellation. 

The Operating Partnership at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward
to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled
Securities (subject to any record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Operating Partnership upon written request of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership
may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 

Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. 

If the Operating Partnership defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the
extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Operating Partnership shall fix the special record date and payment date. At least
ten days before the special record date, the Operating Partnership shall mail to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Operating
Partnership may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner. 
 Section 2.14 Global Securities. 

2.14.1 Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate shall establish whether
the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities. 

2.14.2 Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of this Indenture and in
addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (a) such Depositary
notifies the Operating Partnership that it is unwilling or unable to 

  
 10 

 
continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Operating Partnership
fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (b) the Operating Partnership executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that
such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms. 
 Except as provided in this
Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary. 
 2.14.3
Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 “This Security is a
Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than
the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, 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 a successor Depositary.” 

2.14.4 Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Indenture. 

2.14.5 Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2,
payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof. 
 2.14.6 Consents,
Declaration and Directions. The Operating Partnership, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a
written statement of the Depositary or by the applicable procedures of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to
this Indenture. 
 Section 2.15 CUSIP Numbers. 

The Operating Partnership in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall
use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in
any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. 

ARTICLE III 
 REDEMPTION

 Section 3.1 Notice to Trustee. 

The Operating Partnership may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may
covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of 

  
 11 

 
Securities is redeemable and the Operating Partnership wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Operating Partnership shall give the notice at least 15 days before the redemption date (or such shorter
period as may be acceptable to the Trustee). 
 Section 3.2 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate, if less
than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of the Series to be redeemed in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, including by lot or other method, unless otherwise required by
law or applicable stock exchange requirements, subject, in the case of Global Securities, to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called
for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole
multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and the authorized integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption. 

Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption. 

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, at
least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Operating Partnership shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed. 

The notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state: 

(a) the redemption date; 

(b) the redemption price; 

(c) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 

(d) if any Securities are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and
that, after the redemption date and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the
original Security; 
 (e) that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price; 
 (f) that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date; 
 (g) the CUSIP number, if any; and 

(h) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being
redeemed. 
 At the Operating Partnership’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Operating
Partnership’s name and at its expense, provided, however, that the Operating Partnership has delivered to the Trustee, at least five days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officer’s
Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice. 

  
 12 

 Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 

Once the notice of redemption is mailed as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on
the redemption date and at the redemption price specified therein. The notice of redemption may, at the Operating Partnership’s option and discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such
Securities shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued interest and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. 

Section 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or such later time as has been agreed to by the Paying Agent), on the redemption date, the
Operating Partnership shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Operating
Partnership any money deposited with the Paying Agent in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed or purchased. 

If the Operating Partnership complies with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the Operating Partnership defaults in the payment of such
redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable redemption date, whether or not such Securities are presented for payment. 

Section 3.6 Securities Redeemed in Part. 

Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security of the same Series and the
same maturity equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 
 ARTICLE IV 

COVENANTS 

Section 4.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. 

The Operating Partnership covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities, that it will duly and punctually
pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of that Series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture. On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable payment date (or such later time as has
been agreed to by the Paying Agent), the Operating Partnership shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of each Series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and
this Indenture. 
 Section 4.2 SEC Reports. 

Whether or not the Operating Partnership is subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, during any time that any Securities
remain outstanding, the Operating Partnership will, to the extent permitted under the Exchange Act, file with the SEC the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Operating Partnership would have been required to file with the
SEC pursuant to such Sections 13 or 15(d) if the Operating Partnership were so subject (the “Financial Information”), such documents to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing
Dates”) by which the Operating Partnership would have been required so to file such documents if the Operating Partnership were so subject; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period in which the Operating
Partnership is not subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company may elect to satisfy the Operating Partnership’s obligations under this Section 4.2 by filing with the SEC the Financial
Information required to be filed by the Company under 

  
 13 

 
Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Operating Partnership also will in any event (unless available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or
successor system)) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date: (i) transmit by mail to all Holders, without cost to such Holders, copies of the Financial Information filed with the SEC by the Operating Partnership or the Company, as
applicable; and (ii) file with the Trustee copies of such Financial Information. If the filing of the Financial Information by the Operating Partnership or the Company, as applicable, with the SEC is not permitted under the Exchange Act, the
Operating Partnership will promptly upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of the Financial Information to any prospective Holder. 

Delivery of any 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 Operating Partnership’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee
is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, content or timeliness of any report delivered hereunder (aside from the report required under Section 7.6
hereunder). 
 Section 4.3 Compliance Certificate. 

The Operating Partnership shall, so long as any Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Operating Partnership, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing
Officer with a view to determining whether the Operating Partnership and any Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the
best of such Officer’s knowledge the Operating Partnership and any Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the
terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such Officer may have knowledge). 

The Operating Partnership will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware of any
Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Operating Partnership is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 4.4 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 

The Operating Partnership covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities and the
Operating Partnership (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted
to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 ARTICLE V 

SUCCESSORS 

Section 5.1 When Operating Partnership May Merge, Etc. 

The Operating Partnership shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of it and its
Subsidiaries’ properties and assets, taken as a whole, to, any person (a “successor person”) unless: 

(a) the Operating Partnership is the surviving entity or the successor person (if other than the Operating Partnership) is a
corporation, limited liability company, partnership (including a limited partnership), trust or other entity organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes the Operating Partnership’s
obligations under the Securities and this Indenture; 

  
 14 

 (b) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
 (c) if the Operating Partnership is not the successor person, then each
Guarantor (if any), unless it has become the successor person, shall confirm that its Guarantee shall continue to apply to the obligations under the Securities and this Indenture to the same extent as prior to such merger, conveyance, transfer or
lease, as applicable. 
 The Operating Partnership shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an
Officer’s Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the proposed transaction and any supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture. 

Notwithstanding the above, any Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its
properties and assets to the Operating Partnership or any Guarantor. Neither an Officer’s Certificate nor an Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered in connection therewith. 

Section 5.2 Successor Person Substituted. 

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Operating Partnership in accordance with Section 5.1, the successor person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Operating Partnership is merged or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Operating Partnership under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor person has been named as the Operating Partnership herein; provided, however,
that the predecessor Operating Partnership in the case of a sale, conveyance or other disposition (other than a lease) shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities. 

ARTICLE VI 
 DEFAULTS AND
REMEDIES 
 Section 6.1 Events of Default. 

“Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the following events,
unless in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default:

Section 6.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of
Default referred to in Sections 6.1(d) or (e)), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any
Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Operating Partnership (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately
due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after such a
declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Operating Partnership and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration, if
all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration
of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13. 

  
 16 

 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 Section 6.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 

The Operating Partnership covenants that if 

(a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days, or 
 (b) default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity
thereof, or 
 (c) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms of a Security,

 then, the Operating Partnership will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due
and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 

If the Operating Partnership fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Operating Partnership, any Guarantor or any other obligor
upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Operating Partnership, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 

If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement
of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 6.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Operating Partnership or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Operating Partnership or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the
Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Operating Partnership for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole
amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same,

  
 17 

 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

Section 6.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of
any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

 Section 6.6 Application of Money Collected. 

Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by
the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7; 

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the
benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and 

Third: To the Operating Partnership or the Guarantors, as applicable. 

Section 6.7 Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (a) such Holder has
previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that Series; 

(b) the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee
for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 

  
 18 

 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series; 

it being understood, intended and expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security with every other Holder and the Trustee that no one or more of such
Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders of the applicable Series. 

Section 6.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for
the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 6.9 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Operating Partnership, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the
Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8,
no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not
Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event
of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 6.12 Control by Holders. 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that: 

  
 19 

 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture; 
 (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction; 
 (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any
such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability; and 

(d) prior to taking any action as directed under this Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

Section 6.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Operating Partnership, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of
Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after
the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date). 

ARTICLE VII 
 TRUSTEE

 Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee. 

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others. 

(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel
which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the form requirements of this
Indenture. 

  
 20

its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

Rights of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any

which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

compliance with such request or direction.

matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion,
may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. 
 (h) The Trustee shall not be
deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series and this Indenture. 

Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. 

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Operating
Partnership or an Affiliate of the Operating Partnership with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with similar rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

Section 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. 

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the
Operating Partnership’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its authentication. 

Section 7.5 Notice of Defaults. 

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of
such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series. 

Section 7.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders. 

Within 60 days after each anniversary of the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders, as their names
and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such anniversary date, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA Section 313. 

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each national securities
exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed. The Operating Partnership shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when Securities of any Series are listed on any national securities exchange. 

  
 22 

 Section 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. 

The Operating Partnership shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the Operating Partnership and the Trustee
shall from time to time agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Operating Partnership shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 

The Operating Partnership shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including the cost of defending itself) against any
cost, expense or liability, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as
Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Operating Partnership promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Operating Partnership shall not relieve the Operating Partnership of its obligations
under this Section 7.7 except to the extent that the Operating Partnership suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. The Operating Partnership shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may
have one separate counsel and the Operating Partnership shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Operating Partnership need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee. 
 The Operating Partnership
need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence. 

To secure the Operating Partnership’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any
Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities of that Series. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) occurs, the
expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 
 Section 7.8 Replacement of
Trustee. 
 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor
Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
 The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or
more Series by so notifying the Operating Partnership at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by
so notifying the Trustee and the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if: 

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

(b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 

  
 23 

 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Operating Partnership shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee
to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Operating Partnership. 
 If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one
or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Operating Partnership or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written
acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Operating Partnership. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.7, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as
Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each Securityholder of each such Series. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Operating Partnership’s
obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it for actions taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with its rights, powers and duties under
this Indenture prior to such replacement. 
 Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. 

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, subject to Section 7.10. 

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall
always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b).

 25

time upon an Operating Partnership Order any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or money held by it as provided in Sections 8.3 or 8.4 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
public accountants or investment bank expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount thereof which then would have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such U.S. Government
Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations held under this Indenture.

denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations or (2) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which
through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment and assuming no tax liability will be imposed on the Trustee), not later than one day before the due date of any
payment of money, an amount in cash sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each
installment of principal of and interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of interest or principal and such sinking fund payments are due; 

(ii) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or
instrument to which the Operating Partnership is a party or by which it is bound (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit related to other
indebtedness of the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary) and the granting of liens to secure such borrowings);

of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Operating Partnership with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Operating Partnership; and

all conditions precedent provided for relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied with.

Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 (and the failure to comply with any such covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under
Section 6.1) and the occurrence of any event specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2.18 and designated as an Event of

(i) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations or (ii) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than a composite currency),
money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment and assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such
Trustee), not later than one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants or investment bank expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal of and interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of
interest or principal and such sinking fund payments are due; 
 (b) Such deposit will not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Operating Partnership is a party or by which it is bound (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be

Section 8.5 Repayment to Operating Partnership. 

Subject to applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Operating Partnership upon request any money
held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Operating Partnership for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned
property law designates another person. 
 Section 8.6 Reinstatement. 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with
Section 8.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Operating Partnership under this
Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series and under the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.1; provided, however, that if the Operating Partnership has made any payment of principal of or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Operating Partnership shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent after payment
in full to the Holders. 
 ARTICLE IX 

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 

Section 9.1 Without Consent of Holders.

(j) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

 (k) to reflect the release of any Guarantor in accordance with Article XII; or 

(l) to add Guarantors with respect to any or all of the Securities or to secure any or all of the Securities or the Guarantees.

 Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders. 

The Operating Partnership, any Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Securityholders of each such Series. Except as
provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the
Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Operating Partnership with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series. 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Operating Partnership shall mail to the Holders
of Securities affected thereby a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Operating Partnership to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the
validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 
 Section 9.3 Limitations. 

Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not: 

(a) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

(b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security; 

(c) reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for,
the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation; 
 (d) reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities payable
upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; 

  
 29 

 (e) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or
interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that
resulted from such acceleration); 
 (f) make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency
other than that stated in the Security; 
 (g) make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); 

(h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, provided that such redemption is made at the Operating
Partnership’s option; or 
 (i) if the Securities of that Series are entitled to the benefit of the Guarantee, release
any Guarantor of such Series other than as provided in this Indenture or modify the Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders. 

Section 9.4 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 

Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies
with the TIA as then in effect. 
 Section 9.5 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 

Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a
continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective. 

Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the
type described in any of clauses (a) through (i) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 
 The Operating Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, fix
a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the
immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or take any such action,
whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. 

Section 9.6 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. 

The Operating Partnership or the Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series
thereafter authenticated. The Operating Partnership in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver. 

Section 9.7 Trustee Protected. 

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4.
The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon delivery of such an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

a Board Resolution, a 

  
 33 

 
supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, such conversion shall be

(a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required Currency”) into a
currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the
Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this
Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the
Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as
an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and
(iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of

 ARTICLE XI 

SINKING FUNDS 

Section 11.1 Applicability of Article. 

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series if so provided by the
terms of such Securities pursuant to Section 2.2, except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a
“mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of
any Series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the
Securities of such Series. 

  
 34 

 Section 11.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities. 
 The Operating Partnership may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the
Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory
sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Operating Partnership or redeemed either at the election of the Operating
Partnership pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the
Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking
fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the
aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of an Operating Partnership Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the
Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of an Operating Partnership Order pay over and deliver to the Operating
Partnership any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Operating Partnership to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Operating Partnership having an unpaid principal amount equal to
the cash payment required to be released to the Operating Partnership. 
 Section 11.3 Redemption of Securities
for Sinking Fund. 
 Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or
Officer’s Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Operating Partnership will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the
amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Operating Partnership shall thereupon be obligated
to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund
payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the
Operating Partnership in the manner provided in Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. 

ARTICLE XII 
 GUARANTEE

 Section 12.1 Unconditional Guarantee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article XII to the contrary, the provisions of this Article XII shall be applicable
only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Securities of any Series designated, pursuant to Section 2.2.23, as entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee of each Guarantor identified in such designation and that has executed a Notation of
Guarantee with respect to such Series. 
 (b) For value received, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, fully,
unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (the “Guarantee”) to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on each Series of Securities for which such Guarantor has executed a
Notation of Guarantee with respect to such Series and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Securities of such Series by the Operating Partnership, when and as such principal and interest shall become due and payable,
whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of such Securities and this Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.3. 

  
 35 

 (c) Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee,
for whatever reason, each of the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities, the Guarantee (including the Guarantee of any other Guarantor) or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with
respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Operating Partnership or any other Guarantor, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of any of the Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities entitled to the Guarantee of such Guarantor, whether at the Stated Maturity or by
declaration of 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, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture,
directly against such Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Operating Partnership or any other Guarantor. 

(d) Each Guarantor hereby (i) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event
of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Operating Partnership or any of the Guarantors, and all demands whatsoever and (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. Each Guarantor further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore
applied by any person to the Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Operating Partnership or any of the Guarantors, the Guarantee
shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though
such application had not been made. 
 (e) Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee
against the Operating Partnership in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or
based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Securities entitled to the Guarantee of such Guarantor and the Guarantee shall have been paid in full or discharged. 

Section 12.2 Execution and Delivery of Notation of Guarantee. 

To evidence the Guarantee of a Guarantor of a Series of Securities, a Notation of Guarantee, executed by either manual or facsimile signature
of an officer of such Guarantor, shall be affixed on each Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee of such Guarantor. If any officer of any Guarantor whose signature is on a Notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the
Trustee authenticates a Security to which such Notation of Guarantee is affixed or at any time thereafter, the Guarantee of such Security shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee relating to such Security set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor. 

Section 12.3 Limitation on Guarantors’ Liability. 

Each Guarantor by its acceptance hereof and each Holder of Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Holder of a
Security entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligations of each Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent
and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under the Guarantee, not result in the obligations of such Guarantor
under the Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. 

  
 36 

 Section 12.4 Release of Guarantors from Guarantee. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee of any Guarantor may be released upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.3 and this Section 12.4. Provided that no Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Indenture, the Guarantee incurred by a Guarantor pursuant to this
Article XII shall be unconditionally released and discharged (i) automatically upon (A) any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise, to any person that is not an Affiliate of the Operating Partnership, of all of
the Operating Partnership’s direct or indirect equity interests in such Guarantor (provided such sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture) or (B) the merger of such Guarantor into the Operating Partnership or any
other Guarantor or the liquidation and dissolution of such Guarantor (in each case to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture) or (ii) with respect to any Series of Securities, upon the occurrence of any other condition set forth in the
Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate establishing the terms of such Series. 
 (b) Upon
receipt of a written request of the Operating Partnership accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any Guarantor is entitled to release from the Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of such Guarantor from the Guarantee. Any Guarantor not so released shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Securities entitled
to the benefits of the Guarantee as provided in this Indenture, subject to the limitations of Section 12.3.

shall mean and be a reference to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time. 

(b) None of the Transactions, this Agreement, nor any other Loan Document shall release, limit or impair in any way the priority of any
security interests and liens held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against any assets of the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors arising under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Existing Collateral Agreement, the
Existing Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, the Existing Pledge Agreement, the Existing Trademark Security Agreement, the Existing Copyright Security Agreement, the Existing Patent Security Agreement, the Existing Unpublished Trademark Security
Agreement or the other Existing Security Documents.

otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Existing Lenders, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Existing
Collateral Agreement, the Existing Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, the Existing Pledge Agreement, the Existing Trademark Security Agreement, the Existing Copyright Security Agreement, the Existing Patent Security Agreement, the Existing Unpublished
Trademark Security Agreement or any other Loan Document. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower or any other Credit Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of,
any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Existing Collateral Agreement, the Existing Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, the Existing Pledge
Agreement, the Existing Trademark Security Agreement, the Existing Copyright Security Agreement, the Existing Patent Security Agreement, the Existing Unpublished Trademark Security Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different

mutatis mutandis. 
 (b) Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended, except by an agreement in writing
