RECITALS OF THE ISSUER AND THE PARENT GUARANTOR 

WHEREAS, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee are parties to an Indenture dated as of June 20, 2016 (the “Base
Indenture,” and together with this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) relating to the issuance from time to time by the Issuer of its Securities on terms to be specified at the time of issuance; 

WHEREAS, the Issuer proposes to create under the Base Indenture a new series of Securities; 

WHEREAS, Section 301 of the Base Indenture provides that the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee may enter into supplemental
indentures prior to the issuance of a new series of Securities to create such series of Securities and set forth the terms of such series of Securities; and 

WHEREAS, the consent of Holders to the execution and delivery of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture is not required and all the conditions
and requirements necessary to make this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, when duly executed and delivered, a valid and binding agreement in accordance with its terms and for the purposes herein expressed, have been performed and fulfilled. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the purchase of Securities by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed,
for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities or series thereof (as determined by reference to principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid Interest, of the Securities held by such Holders), as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 RELATION TO
INDENTURE; DEFINITIONS 
 Section 1.1    Relation to Indenture. This Fourth Supplemental Indenture
constitutes an integral part of the Base Indenture. 
 Section 1.2    Definitions. For all purposes of this
Fourth Supplemental Indenture, except for terms defined herein or unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture. In addition, the
following terms shall have the following meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms set forth below: 

“Acquired Debt” means Debt of a Person (i) existing at the time such Person is merged or consolidated with or into the Issuer
or any of its Subsidiaries or becomes a Subsidiary of the Issuer; or (ii) assumed by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person. Acquired Debt shall be deemed to be incurred on the date
the acquired Person is merged or consolidated with or into the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or becomes a Subsidiary of the Issuer or the date of the related acquisition, as the case may be. 

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the arithmetic mean of the weekly
average yield to maturity (representing the average of the daily rates for the immediately preceding week) available through, the most recent Statistical Release for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to
the Par Call Date of the notes as of the redemption date. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Adjusted Treasury
Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published at least three business days prior to the date of the notice of redemption shall be used. 

 “Annual Debt Service Charge” means, for any period, the interest expense of the
Issuer and its Subsidiaries for such period, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, including, without duplication, (1) all amortization of debt discount and premium; (2) all accrued interest; (3) all capitalized

	 	(ix)	 the effect of any non-recurring or other unusual non-cash items, as may be determined by us in good faith; and 

  

	 	(x)	 amortization of deferred charges; 

all determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service will be adjusted, without duplication, to give
pro forma effect in the case of any assets having been placed in service or removed from service from the beginning of the period to the date of determination, to include or exclude, as the case may be, any Consolidated Income Available for Debt
Service earned or eliminated as a result of the placement of the assets in service or removal of the assets from service as if the placement of the assets in service or removal of the assets from service occurred at the beginning of the period.

interests in unconsolidated Persons to the extent that cash dividends or distributions have not actually been received by the Issuer or one of its Subsidiaries, 

all determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. 

“Debt” means, with respect to any Person, any indebtedness of such Person, whether or not contingent, in respect of (without
duplication): 
  

	 	(i)	 indebtedness for borrowed money evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments;

with GAAP and Intercompany Debt that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes (or an obligation to be liable for, or to pay, Intercompany Debt that is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes referenced in clause
(1) above).

 ARTICLE II 

THE SECURITIES 
 There is
established a series of Securities pursuant to the Base Indenture with the following terms: 

Section 2.1    Title of the Securities. The series of Securities established under this Fourth Supplemental
Indenture shall be designated as the “2.200% Senior Notes due 2030” (the “Notes”). 

Section 2.2    Aggregate Principal Amount. The Notes initially will be issued in an aggregate principal amount
of $400,000,000 (not including the Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 304, 305 or 306 of the Base Indenture); provided that the Issuer may,
without the consent of Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes, except for the issue date, issue price, the first payment date (if applicable) and payment
of Interest accruing prior to the issue date of the additional Notes, which additional Notes will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture. 

  
 4 

 Section 2.3    Maturity Date. The date on which the
principal on the Notes is payable is October 15, 2030, subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to acceleration (the “Maturity Date”). 

Section 2.4    Ranking. The Notes and the Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor will be the Issuer’s and the
Parent Guarantor’s senior unsecured obligations, respectively, and will rank equally in right of payment with all of such entities’ existing and future senior unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes and the Guarantee, however,
will be effectively subordinated to all of the Issuer’s and Parent Guarantor’s existing and future secured indebtedness, respectively (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness). The Notes and the Guarantee
will also be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future liabilities and other indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured, of the Issuer’s subsidiaries. 

Section 2.5    Additional Notes. The Notes will initially be limited to an aggregate principal amount of
$400,000,000. The Issuer may from time to time, without notice to or consent of existing Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Securities, subject to the restrictions described in Article III hereof, having the same terms and conditions
as the Notes in all respects, except for the issue date and, under certain circumstances, the issue price, Interest accrued prior to the issue date and first payment of Interest thereon. Additional notes issued in this manner will be consolidated
with and will form a single series with the previously outstanding notes, provided, however, that such additional notes may not be fungible with the previously outstanding notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which case the
additional notes would have a different CUSIP number than the Notes offered hereby. 

Section 2.6    Interest. The Notes will bear Interest from, and including, September 23, 2020, or from,
and including, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which Interest has been paid or duly provided for, to, but excluding, the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date of the Notes, as applicable, at a rate of 2.200% per annum, payable
semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2021. The Issuer will pay Interest to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on April 1 and
October 1 (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date. The Issuer will compute interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made
on the date on which such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

 Section 2.7    Place of Payment for Principal and Interest. The principal and Interest on the Notes will
be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose, pursuant to the Base Indenture, in the City of New York, which initially shall be the Corporate Trust Office; provided, however, that at the option of the Issuer, such
payment of principal, or Interest may be made by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto as provided in the Base Indenture. 

Section 2.8    Defeasance and Waiver of Covenants. The Notes shall be subject to defeasance under Sections 402
and 403 of the Base Indenture, and Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 hereof are subject to covenant defeasance under Section 403 of the Base Indenture as permitted pursuant to Section 401 of the Base Indenture and subject to
waiver under Section 1008 of the Base Indenture. 
 Section 2.9    Sinking Fund. The Notes shall
not have the benefit of any sinking fund. 
 Section 2.10    Form and Dating. 

(a)    The Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

(b)    The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this
Fourth Supplemental Indenture, and the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent
any provision of any Notes conflicts with the express provisions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

  
 5 

 (c)    The Notes will be issued in the form of a fully-registered
global security (the “Global Security”). The Depository Trust Company shall serve as the depository (the “Depositary”) for the Global Security. The Global Security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and
registered, at the request of the Depositary, in the name of Cede & Co. Except as set forth below, the Global Security may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only by the Depositary to its nominee or by its nominee to such Depositary
or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or its nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor. If (i) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor
depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 calendar days after receipt of such notice from the Depositary; (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Issuer does not appoint a successor
depositary within 90 calendar days of becoming aware that the Depositary has ceased to be registered as a clearing agency; (iii) the Issuer, in its sole discretion, determines that the Notes will be exchangeable for definitive securities
in registered form and notifies the Trustee of its decision; or (iv) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes represented by the Global Security has occurred and is continuing, then in each case the Issuer may issue Notes in
certificated form in exchange for the Global Security. In each of these instances, an owner of an interest in the Global Security would be entitled to physical delivery of such Notes in certificated form. Notes so issued in certificated form will be
issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and will be issued in registered form only. 

Section 2.11    Optional Redemption.  

(a)    The Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option and sole discretion, at any time or from time to time prior to the
Par Call Date, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed; or (ii) as determined by the Quotient Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and Interest thereon that would be due if such Notes matured on the Par Call Date but for the redemption thereof (not including any portion of such payments of Interest accrued as of the Redemption Date)
discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid Interest thereon to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment
Date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of the Notes at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its
Notes for redemption). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid Interest thereon
to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date. 
 (b)    If any Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the required payment of the Redemption Price will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date on which such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on such payment for the period from and after such
Redemption Date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. 
 (c)    If the Issuer elects to
redeem the Notes in part, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), in the case of certificated notes, on a pro rata basis, by lot or such other method it
deems fair and appropriate and, in the case of Global Notes held through the Depositary, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. 

(d)    The Issuer will not redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.11 on any date if the principal amount
of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date. 

(e)    Notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be given in the manner provided in Sections
106 and 1104 of the Base Indenture not later than 15 days and not earlier than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. 

  
 6 

 Section 2.12    Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the
Issuer. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Sections 106 and 1104 of the Base Indenture, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at
the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price, so long as the Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes
to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, then on and after such date: (a) such Notes will cease to be Outstanding on and after the Redemption Date, (b) Interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue
on and after the Redemption Date, and (c) all rights of the Holders of the Notes shall cease with respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment
in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 

Section 2.13    Nonconvertible. The Notes shall not be convertible or exchangeable for any other security or
property. 
 Section 2.14    Parent Guarantor. The Notes shall be Guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor in
accordance with Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture. 
 ARTICLE III 

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 
 In
addition to the covenants set forth in the Base Indenture, the Issuer hereby further covenants as follows: 

Section 3.1    Limitation on Total Outstanding Debt. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount
of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) is greater than 60% of the sum of the following (without duplication): (1) Total Assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as of
the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available and (2) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities
offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the
proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt. 
 Section 3.2    Secured Debt Test. The
Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) secured by any Lien on any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ property or assets, whether owned on the date of this
Fourth Supplemental Indenture or subsequently acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of its and its
Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) which is secured by a Lien on any of the Issuer’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ property or assets is greater than 40% of the sum of the
following (without duplication): (1) Total Assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available; and (2) the aggregate purchase price of any
real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by
the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt. 

Section 3.3    Debt Service Test.  

(a)    The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including without limitation
Acquired Debt) if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual Debt Service Charge for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended, 

  
 7 

 
for which financial statements are available, prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5:1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to
the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP), and calculated on the following assumptions: (1) such Debt and any other Debt (including,
without limitation, Acquired Debt) incurred by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (including to repay or retire other Debt) had
occurred, on the first day of such period; (2) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of such period (except
that, in making this computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); and (3) in the case of
any acquisition or disposition by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, such acquisition or disposition had occurred
as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation. 

(b)    If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the calculation described in Section 3.3(a) or any other Debt incurred
after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt will be computed on a pro forma basis by applying the average
daily rate which would have been in effect during the entire four-quarter period to the greater of the amount of such Debt outstanding at the end of such period or the average amount of such Debt outstanding during such period. 

(c)    For purposes of this Section 3.3, Debt will be deemed to be incurred by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries
whenever the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. 

Section 3.4    Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Issuer shall not have at any time Total
Unencumbered Assets of less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Unsecured Debt determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

2.200% Senior Notes due 2030 
 Capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1) Interest. The Notes
will bear interest from, and including, September 23, 2020, or from, and including, the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to, but excluding, the applicable interest payment date or Maturity
Date of the Notes, as applicable, at a rate of 2.200% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2021. The Issuer will pay interest to the Person in whose name a Note is
registered at the close of business on April 1 and October 1 next preceding the interest payment date. The Issuer will compute interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any interest payment date or Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on
the date on which such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on such payment for the period from and after such interest payment date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. 

(2) Place of Payment for Principal and Interest. The principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the
Issuer maintained for that purpose, pursuant to the Indenture, in the City of New York, which initially shall be the corporate trust office of the Trustee; provided, however, that at the option of the Issuer, such payment of principal or interest
may be made by check mailed to the person entitled thereto as provided in the Indenture. 
 (3) Paying Agent and Security Registrar.
Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Security Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Security Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 (4) Sinking Funds. The Notes are not subject to repayment at the option of the Holder
thereof. In addition, the Notes are not entitled to the benefit of, and are not subject to, any sinking fund. 
 (5) Indenture. The Issuer
issued the Notes under an indenture, dated as of June 20, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 23, 2020 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture,”
and together with the Base Indenture, and as the Base Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture may be further amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor named therein
and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all
such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall
govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer. 
 (6) Redemption. The Issuer shall have the right to
redeem the Notes under certain circumstances as set forth in Section 2.11 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. 
 (7) Payment of Notes Called For
Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Sections 106 and 1104 of the Base Indenture, and unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price, so long as the Paying Agent holds funds
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, then on and after such date: (a) such Notes will cease to be Outstanding on and after the Redemption Date, (b) Interest on the Notes
or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and (c) all rights of the Holders of the Notes shall cease with respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof.

 (8) Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Security Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder,
among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any
Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. The Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange the Notes during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption under Section 1104 of the Base Indenture and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant
notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption as a whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in part. 

(9) Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee for such
Note and any agent of the Issuer, any Guarantor or such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to
Section 307 of the Base Indenture) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Guarantor, such Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, any Guarantor or such
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 None of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall
have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests. 
 (10) Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantee or the Notes
may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding affected by such amendment or supplemental indenture voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event
of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantee or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes affected thereby voting as a single class. Without
the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Guarantee or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes; to provide for the assumption to a successor of the Issuer’s or Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes; add additional Guarantees with respect to the Notes; secure the Notes; to make any other change that would
provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; or to comply with requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or to maintain the qualification
of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (11) Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Sections 501(6) or 501(7) of the Base Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the entire principal amount and accrued interest on all Notes may be declared to be due and payable by either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and, upon said declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 501(6) or 501(7) of the Base Indenture occurs, the
principal amount and accrued interest on all the Notes shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder. 

(12) No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future individual incorporator, limited partner, stockholder, trustee, director, officer or
employee of the Issuer, any Guarantor or of any successor entity to the Issuer or any Guarantor will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer and any Guarantor under the Notes or the Indenture based on, in respect of, or by reason of
such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The foregoing waiver and release are an integral part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. 

 (13) Authentication. No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note the certificate of authentication manually executed by the Trustee for such Note or on its behalf pursuant to Section 614 of the Base Indenture, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 (14) CUSIP Numbers. The
Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) or other identifying numbers (“Identifying Numbers”) and, if so, the Trustee shall use such Identifying 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 Identifying Numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be
placed only on the other identifying numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the Identifying
Numbers. 
 The Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:
