The Notes shall be governed by all of the terms and provisions of the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this Third Supplemental Indenture, and in particular, the following provisions shall be terms of the Notes: (a) Registration and Form. The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto. (b) Payment of Principal and Interest. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Global Note will be made by the Operating Partnership in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the Holder of the Global Note.

Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from June 29, 2015. (c) Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund provided for the Notes. (d) Redemption at the Option of the Operating Partnership. (1) The Operating Partnership shall have the right to redeem the Notes at its option and in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time prior to the Par Call Date, in whole or in part. The redemption price ("Redemption Price") will equal the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date (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 45 basis points (0.45% or forty-five one-hundredths of one percent), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the 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 Operating Partnership will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 759186-4-3266-v0.6 - 5 - 80-40600465 |
|
|
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 unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. (2) The Operating Partnership shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 1.4(d)(1) hereof on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Operating Partnership in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be redeemed). (e) Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes. (1) In case the Operating Partnership shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 1.4(d) hereof, it shall fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than five (5) Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission), the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Operating Partnership, shall mail (or send by electronic transmission) or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) a notice of such redemption not fewer than fifteen (15) calendar days nor more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided, that if the Operating Partnership makes such request of the Trustee, it shall, together with such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee; provided further that the text of the notice shall be prepared by the Operating Partnership. Such mailing shall be by first class mail (unless sent by electronic transmission). The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. (2) Each such notice of redemption shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers, if any, of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption Price at which Notes are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes and (vi) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any). In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 759186-4-3266-v0.6 - 6 - 80-40600465 |
|
|
(3) Whenever any Notes are to be redeemed, the Operating Partnership will give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Date, together with an Officers' Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed not fewer than thirty-five (35) calendar days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date. (4) On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 1.4(e), the Operating Partnership will deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of monies in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided, that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Operating Partnership shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 1.4(e) in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price. (5) If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), on a pro rata basis or such other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate or is required by the Depository. The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof. (f) Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Operating Partnership. (1) If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 1.4(e) hereof, 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 Operating Partnership shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price, so long as Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, then (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, (c) after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the Operating Partnership shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) and, except as provided in Section 403 and Section 605 of the Original Indenture, such Notes will cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under the Indenture, and (d) the Holders of the Notes shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Operating Partnership at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. (2) Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Operating Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Operating 759186-4-3266-v0.6 - 7 - 80-40600465 |

|
Partnership, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented. (g) Additional Issues. The Operating Partnership may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue further securities having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects, except for any difference in the issue date, issue price, interest accrued prior to the issue date of the additional notes, and, if applicable, the first interest payment date so long as such additional notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the previously outstanding Notes. Additional notes issued in this manner shall be consolidated with and shall form a single series with the previously outstanding Notes. Notice of any such issuance shall be given to the Trustee and a new supplemental indenture shall be executed in connection with the issuance of such securities. Section 1.5 Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 1.5 shall apply only to the Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depository. (a) The Operating Partnership shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 1.5, authenticate and deliver the Global Note that shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and shall be held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depository. (b) Participants of the Depository shall have no rights either under the Indenture or with respect to the Global Note. The Depository or its nominee, as applicable, shall be treated by the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or its nominee, as applicable, or impair, as between the Depository and its participants, the operation of customary practices of such depository governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Note. Section 1.6 Transfer and Exchange of the Notes. (a) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Note shall be effected through the Depository in accordance with the Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depository. Except as provided in Section 1.6(b) hereof, beneficial owners of the Global Note shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of definitive notes in registered certificated form (the "Certificated Notes") and will not be considered Holders of the Global Note. (b) The Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if: (1) the Depository (a) notifies the Operating Partnership that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Note or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, the Operating Partnership fails to appoint a successor depository; (2) the Operating Partnership, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that the Operating Partnership elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or (3) upon request from the Depository if there has occurred and is continuing a default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. 759186-4-3266-v0.6 - 8 - 80-40600465 |

ARTICLE TWO ADDITIONAL COVENANTS FOR BENEFIT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES In addition to the covenants set forth in the Original Indenture, the Operating Partnership hereby further covenants as follows: Section 2.1 Provision of Financial Information. The Operating Partnership and the Guarantor will: (a) file with the Trustee, within fifteen (15) days after the Operating Partnership or the Guarantor files them with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and information, documents and other reports which the Operating Partnership or the Guarantor may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Operating Partnership or the Guarantor is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to those Sections, then the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor will file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which Section 13 of the Exchange Act may require with respect to a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange; and (b) file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor with the conditions and covenants of the indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations. Reports, information and documents filed with the Commission via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this covenant; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed via EDGAR. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including its compliance with any of its covenants relating to the notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an officers' certificate). Section 2.2 Limitations on Incurrence of Debt. (a) Limitation on Total Outstanding Debt. The Operating Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Operating Partnership's 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) the Operating Partnership's and its Subsidiaries' Total Assets as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter 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 Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt. (b) Secured Debt Test. The Operating Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) secured by any Lien on any 759186-4-3266-v0.6 - 9 - 80-40600465 |
|
|
of the Operating Partnership's or any of its Subsidiaries' property or assets, whether owned on the date of the indenture or subsequently acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) of all of the Operating Partnership's and its Subsidiaries' outstanding Debt which is secured by a Lien on any of the Operating Partnership's and its Subsidiaries' property or assets is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication): (1) the Operating Partnership's and its Subsidiaries' Total Assets as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter; 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 Operating Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt. (c) Debt Service Test. (1) The Operating Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including without limitation Acquired Debt) if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual Debt Service Charge for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5:1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP), and calculated on the following assumptions: (2) such Debt and any other Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) incurred by us or any of our 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; (3) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of the Operating Partnership 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 (4) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Operating Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets with a fair market value in excess of $1.0 million since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, such acquisition or disposition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation. (5) If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the calculation described in Section 2.2(c)(1) or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt will be computed on a pro forma basis by applying the average daily rate which would have been in effect during the entire four-quarter period to the greater of the amount of such Debt outstanding at the end of such period or the average amount of such Debt outstanding during such period. For purposes of this Section 2.2(c), Debt will be deemed to be incurred by the Operating Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries whenever the Operating Partnership or such Subsidiary shall 759186-4-3266-v0.6 - 10 - 80-40600465 |
