(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.01 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or if the Issuer has exercised its option to redeem all the Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of such Change of Control Offer.
(f)The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.01. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.01, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.01 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.
(g)If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in connection with a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party approved in writing by the Issuer making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer in accordance with this Section 4.01, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given that such notice is not given more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to redeem (with respect to the Issuer) or purchase (with respect to a third party) all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date (the “Second Change of Control Payment Date”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Second Change of Control Payment Date.
SECTION 4.02.Limitation on Liens.
(a)The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to, create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Debt secured by a Lien upon any Principal Property of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (whether such Principal Property is now existing or owned or hereafter created or acquired), in each case, unless prior to or at the same time, the Notes (together with, at the option of the Issuer, any other Debt of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries ranking equally in right of payment with the Notes or such guarantee) are secured equally and ratably with or, at the option of the Issuer, prior to such Debt so long as such Debt shall be so secured.

(4)Liens existing on the Issue Date;
(5)Liens on property or assets of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Issuer, or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of the merger, consolidation, or sale, lease, other disposition or other such transaction;
(6)Liens securing Non-Recourse Debt or Exempt Construction Loans or guarantees thereof on assets or Capital Stock of Subsidiaries of the Issuer formed solely for the purpose of, and which engage in no business other than the business of making Co-investments;

(12)Liens consisting of easements, rights-of-way, zoning restrictions, restrictions on the use of real property, and defects and irregularities in the title thereto, landlords’ Liens and other similar Liens none of which interfere materially with the use of the property covered thereby in the ordinary course of business and which do not, in the Issuer’s opinion, materially detract from the value of such properties;
(13)Liens in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments; or
(14)any extensions, renewals or replacements of any Lien referred to in clauses (1) through (13) of this Section 4.02(b) without increase of the principal of the Debt secured by such Lien (except to the extent of any fees or other costs associated with any such extension, renewal or replacement); provided, however, that any Liens permitted by any of clauses (1) through (13) shall not extend to or cover any property of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, other than the property specified in such clauses and improvements to such property.
(c)Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by Liens which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions without equally and ratably securing the Notes then Outstanding if, at the time of such creation, incurrence, issuance, assumption or guarantee, after giving effect thereto and to the retirement of any Debt which is concurrently being retired, the aggregate amount of all such Debt secured by Liens which would otherwise be subject to such restrictions (other than any Debt (or any guarantee thereof) secured by Liens permitted as described in clauses (1)-(14) of Section 4.02(b)), together with all Attributable Debt outstanding pursuant to Section 4.03(b), does not exceed 7.5% of the Consolidated Total Assets of the Issuer calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien. The Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries also may, without equally and ratably securing the Notes, create or incur Liens that extend, renew, substitute or replace (including successive extensions, renewals, substitutions or replacements), in whole or in part, any Lien permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence.
SECTION 4.03.Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions.
(a)The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction for the sale and leasing back of any Principal Property unless:
(1)such transaction was entered into prior to the Issue Date;
(2)such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Issuer or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of any Principal Property by one of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(3)such transaction involves a lease for not more than three years (or which may be terminated by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries within a period of not more than three years);
(4)The Issuer would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a Lien with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.02(b); or
(5)The Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of such Principal Property to the purchase of other property or assets used or useful in its business (including the purchase or development of other Principal Property) or to the retirement of Debt that is pari passu with the Notes (including the Notes) within 365 days before or after the effective date of any such Sale/Leaseback Transaction, provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of pari passu Debt, the Issuer may deliver Notes to the trustee for cancellation, such Notes to be credited at the cost thereof to it.
(b)Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 4.03(a), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, if after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt with respect to such transactions, together with all Debt outstanding pursuant to Section 4.02(c), does not exceed 7.5% of the Consolidated Total Assets of the Issuer calculated as of the closing date of the sale and leaseback transaction.
SECTION 4.04.SEC Reports. So long as any Notes are outstanding, at any time that the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee and make available on the Issuer’s website copies of such annual and quarterly reports and such information, documents and other reports as are required under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 days after the date such information, documents or other reports were filed with the SEC; provided, however, that (a) so long as Parent is a Guarantor of the Notes, the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and provided as described hereunder may, at the Issuer’s option, be filed by and be those of Parent rather than the Issuer and (b) in the event that Parent conducts any business or holds any significant assets other than the capital stock of the Issuer at the time of filing and providing any such report, information or other document containing financial statements of Parent, Parent shall include in such report, information or other document summarized financial information (as defined in Rule 1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC) with respect to the Issuer. The Issuer or Parent will be deemed to have furnished such reports, information and documents to the Trustee if the Issuer or Parent has filed such reports, information and documents with the SEC via the ▇▇▇▇▇ filing system or has made available such reports, information and documents on its website. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to ensure that such filing has occurred. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information
contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).
SECTION 4.05.Future Guarantors. On the Issue Date, Parent shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which Parent shall guarantee the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes issued pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture on the terms set forth herein. After the Issue Date, the Issuer shall cause each Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Issuer that Guarantees any Specified Debt of the Issuer to, within 30 days of the incurrence of such Guarantee, execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall Guarantee payment of the Notes on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Supplemental Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Foreign Subsidiary is a co-borrower of Debt of the Issuer, and not a Guarantor of such Debt, then it will not be considered a Guarantor of such Debt for purposes of this Section 4.05.
SECTION 4.06.When the Issuer, Parent and Subsidiary Guarantors May Merge or Transfer Assets.
This Section 4.06 shall apply in respect of the Notes in lieu of Article VIII of the Base Indenture.
(a)Neither the Issuer nor Parent may consolidate with or merge into any other entity or convey, transfer or lease their properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any entity, unless:
(1)the successor or transferee entity, if other than the Issuer or Parent, as the case may be, is a Person (in the case of the Issuer, if such Person is not a corporation, then such successor or transferee shall include a corporate co-issuer) organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, any premium on and any interest on all the outstanding Notes and the performance of every covenant and obligation in the Indenture to be performed or observed by the Issuer or Parent, as the case may be;
(2)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, has happened and is continuing; and
(3)within 30 days of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Issuer or Parent, as the case may be, has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such occurrence, and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, complies with the foregoing provisions relating to such transaction.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, the successor entity will succeed to and be substituted for the Issuer or Parent, as the case may be, as obligor or guarantor on the Notes, as the case may be, with the same effect as if it had been named in the Indenture as the Issuer or Parent, as the case may be. As a result, the successor entity may exercise the rights and powers of the Issuer or Parent, as the case may be, under the Indenture, and the Issuer or Parent, as the case may be, shall be released from all liabilities and obligations under the Indenture and, as the case may be, under the Notes or guarantee thereof.
(b)No Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into any other entity or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any entity, unless:
(1)the successor or transferee entity, if not a Subsidiary Guarantor prior to such merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Subsidiary was organized or under the laws of the United States of America, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture, all the obligations of such Subsidiary under its guarantee; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (x) that has been, or will be as a result of the subject transaction, disposed of in its entirety to another Person (other than to the Issuer, Parent or an affiliate of the Issuer or Parent), whether through a merger, consolidation or sale of Capital Stock or assets or (y) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its Capital Stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary;
(2)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, has happened and is continuing; and
(3)other than the case where the Guarantor is the successor entity, within 30 days of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such occurrence and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such occurrence, such supplemental indenture, comply with the foregoing provisions relating to such transaction.
ARTICLE V
Additional Events of Default
SECTION 5.01.Additional Events of Default. In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 501 of the Base Indenture, an “Event of Default” occurs with respect to the Notes if:
(a)the Issuer defaults in the payment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon required purchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;
(b)the Issuer, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, fails to comply with Section 4.01 (other than a failure to purchase Notes) and such failure continues for 30 days after a Notice of Default is given;
(c)the Issuer or Parent, as the case may be, fails to comply with Section 4.04 and such failure continues for 180 days after a Notice of Default is given (provided that, if applicable, failure by the Issuer or Parent to comply with the provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act will not in itself be deemed a Default or an Event of Default);
(d)the Issuer, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, default in the performance of, or breach, any of their covenants and agreements in respect of the Notes contained in this Indenture or in the Notes (other than those referred to in clause (1) of Section 501 of the Base Indenture or (a), (b) or (c) above), and such default or breach continues for a period of 60 days after a Notice of Default is given; or
(e)the Parent Guaranty or a Subsidiary Guaranty of a Significant Subsidiary or a group of Subsidiary Guarantors that collectively would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guaranty) or Parent or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that collectively would constitute a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guaranty.
A default under clauses (b), (c) and (d) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer of the default and the Issuer does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.
SECTION 5.02.Inapplicability of Events of Default. The Events of Default specified in clauses (2), (3) and (4) of Section 501 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.
SECTION 5.03.Bankruptcy Event of Default. With respect to the Notes, the following amendments shall have been deemed to have been made to Section 501 of the Base Indenture:
(a)Section 501(5) is amended by replacing the words “the Issuer or the Guarantors” with the words “the Issuer, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that collectively would constitute a Significant Subsidiary”.
(b)Section 501(6) is amended by replacing each instance of the words “the Issuer or the Guarantors” with the words “the Issuer, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that collectively would constitute a Significant Subsidiary”.
SECTION 5.04.Covenant Defeasance. On and after the date of Covenant Defeasance of the Notes, the occurrence of any event specified in (i) Section 501(5) or 501(6) of the Base Indenture (in each case only with respect to any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that collectively would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) or (ii) Sections 5.01(b), 5.01(c), 5.01(d) (other than in respect of Covenant Defeasance) or 5.01(e) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
SECTION 5.05.Notice of Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (e) of Section 5.01 and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (b), (c) and (d) of Section 5.01, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
SECTION 5.06.Article V of the Base Indenture. With respect to the Notes, the following amendments shall be deemed to have been made to Article V of the Base Indenture:
(a)The definition of “Notice of Default” in Section 501 is amended by replacing “25%” with “30%” in such definition.
(b)Section 502 is amended by replacing the first paragraph thereof with the following:
“If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or (6) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of such series (or, if any Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof), together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer and the Guarantors (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration, such principal amount (or specified amount), together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or (6) with respect to the Issuer with respect to the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of such series (or, in the case of any Security of such series which specifies an amount to be due and payable thereon upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof, such amount as may be specified by the terms thereof), together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. Upon payment of such amount, all
obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in respect of the payment of principal and interest of the Securities of such series shall terminate.”
(c)Section 507(2) is amended by replacing “25%” with “30%”.
(d)Section 507(3) of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated as follows: “such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, claim, liability, cost, damage or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request;”.
(a)Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, required to execute and deliver a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to Section 4.05 shall, upon execution and delivery of its Guaranty Agreement, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer under this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, further agree that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, and that Parent and such Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, will remain bound under this Article VI notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.
(b)Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (f) except as set forth in Section 6.06, any change in the ownership of Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor.
(c)Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, further agrees that its Guaranty herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(d)Except as expressly set forth in Sections 6.02, 6.06 and 7.02(b) of this Supplemental Indenture and Sections 1302 and 1303 of the Base Indenture, the obligations of Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, or would otherwise operate as a discharge of Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, as a matter of law or equity.
(e)Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.
(f)In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (1) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (3) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders and the Trustee.
(g)Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article V of the Base Indenture for the purposes of Parent and each such Subsidiary Guarantor’s, if any, Guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in such Article V, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Parent or each such Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, for the purposes of this Section 6.01.
(h)Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 6.01.
SECTION 6.02.Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Supplemental Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
SECTION 6.03.Successors and Assigns. This Article VI shall be binding upon Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture.
SECTION 6.04.No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article VI shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article VI at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 6.05.Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article VI, nor the consent to any departure by Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, in any case shall entitle Parent or such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
SECTION 6.06.Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed released from all obligations under this Article VI without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder: (1) upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of such Subsidiary Guarantor, (2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary
Guarantor, (3) at such time as (a) such Subsidiary Guarantor no longer Guarantees any other Specified Debt (which, for avoidance of doubt, will include when any such Guarantee is no longer required by any contractual obligation and any other Guarantees are substantially concurrently released) of the Issuer or (b) the release or discharge of the guaranty which resulted in the creation of such Subsidiary Guaranty (except a release or discharge by or as a result of payment under such guaranty); provided that such Subsidiary Guarantor would not then otherwise be required to Guarantee the Notes pursuant to the Indenture, (4) upon the defeasance of the Notes, as provided under Article XIII of the Base Indenture or (5) pursuant to clause (4) of Section 901 of the Base Indenture (in the case of clause (1) or (2), other than to Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary of Parent and as permitted by the Indenture). For the avoidance of doubt, the release of a Subsidiary Guaranty of a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to clause (3) above shall automatically occur simultaneously with the release of all such Guarantees of such Subsidiary Guarantor of other Specified Debt. At the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.
SECTION 6.07.Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guaranty will be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE
5.500% Senior Notes due 2035
1. Interest
CBRE Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2025. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from May 12, 2025. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 next preceding the interest payment date, whether or not a Business Day, even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Issuer will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Note will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept).
3. Paying Agent and Registrar
Initially, Computershare Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice to Holders, but with written notice thereof to the Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer or any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, registrar or co-registrar.
4. Indenture
This note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Issuer, designated as the Issuer’s 5.500% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Notes”, which expression includes any Additional Notes issued pursuant to Section 301 of the Base Indenture (as defined below) and forming a single series therewith), issued under the Indenture, dated as
of March 14, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of May 12, 2025 (the “Eleventh Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), each among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto 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 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of the Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Note and the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.
The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 301 of the Base Indenture. The Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture; provided, however, that in the event any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued on the Issue Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such nonfungible Additional Notes will be issued with a separate CUSIP number so that they are distinguishable from the Notes issued on the Issue Date.
5. Optional Redemption
For any date of redemption occurring prior to the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem, at its option, all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
(1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and
(2)100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
In addition, for any date of redemption occurring on and after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption.
The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
6. Notice of Redemption
Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed.
7. Put Provisions
Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, any Holder of Notes will have the right to cause the Issuer to purchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.
8. Guarantees
From and after the Issue Date, the payment by the Issuer of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Notes is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parent on the terms set forth in the Indenture and will be guaranteed by additional Guarantors in the future on a joint and several senior unsecured basis to the extent required by the terms set forth in the Indenture.
9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes or 15 Business Days before an interest payment date.
10. Persons Deemed Owners
The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
11. Unclaimed Money
If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer and not to the Trustee for payment.
12. Discharge and Defeasance
Subject to certain conditions, the Issuer at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its and each Guarantor’s obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.
13. Amendment, Waiver
The Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.
14. Defaults and Remedies
The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in the Indenture. Upon an occurrence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be as set forth in the Indenture.
15. Trustee Dealings with the Issuer
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
16. No Recourse Against Others
No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Notes, any Guaranty or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
17. Authentication
This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
18. Abbreviations
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).
19. CUSIP Numbers
The Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holder of a Note. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in CUSIP numbers.
20. Governing Law
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
21. Copies of Indenture
