Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Agreement.

Underwriting Agreement – Public Offering of Senior Notes

On June 13, 2013, EPR Properties (the “ Company ”) and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “ Guarantors ”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, for themselves and as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “ Underwriters ”), in connection with the Company’s issuance and sale of $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “ Notes ”). The offering closed on June 18, 2013. The Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-189023), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated June 13, 2013, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and includes the terms and conditions for the sale of the Notes, indemnification and contribution obligations and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 , and is incorporated herein by reference.

Indenture

The Notes were issued (and the guarantees delivered) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 18, 2013 (the “ Indenture ”), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”).

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively junior to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness). The obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors. The Notes are structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company. There is no sinking fund for the Notes.

The Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2014 to holders of record on the preceding January 1 and July 1, as the case may be. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Notes will mature on July 15, 2023.

The Company has the option to redeem all or a part of the Notes at any time or from time to time. Before April 16, 2023, the redemption price for the Notes will be equal to the sum of (i) 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to, but excluding, the date of redemption, and (ii) a make-whole premium. On or after April 16, 2023, the redemption price for the Notes will be equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of the redemption.

The Company and its restricted subsidiaries are subject to certain negative covenants under the Indenture. The provisions of the Indenture limit the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) incur liens and (iii) consolidate, merge or sell or transfer assets.

The Indenture also contains customary events of default. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all of the Notes due and payable immediately.

The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture and the Notes do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, reference to the Indenture and form of Note, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 , respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

1. Representations and Warranties of the Company . The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to, and agree with, each of the Underwriters as of the date hereof, as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), and as of the Closing Date (as defined below) that:

(a) The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-189023) for the registration of common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares, warrants, debt securities (including the Notes), guarantees of debt securities (including the Guarantees) and units under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 430A or Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act (the “ Securities Act Rules and Regulations ”), and the Company has filed such post-effective amendments thereto as may be required prior to the execution of this Agreement. Such registration statement (as so amended, if applicable) automatically became effective under the Securities Act upon filing with the Commission. The registration statement and prospectus may have been amended or supplemented prior to the date of this Agreement; any such amendment or supplement was prepared and filed, and any such amendment filed after the effective date of such registration statement has automatically become effective. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement has been issued, and, to the knowledge of the Company and the Guarantors, no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission. A prospectus supplement (the “ Prospectus Supplement ”) to the base prospectus dated June 3, 2013 included as part of the registration statement (the “ Base Prospectus ”) setting forth the terms of the offering, sale and plan of distribution of the Securities and additional information concerning the Company and its business has been or will be prepared and filed (together with the prospectus included in the registration statement) in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations and pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations on or before the second business day after the date hereof (or such earlier time as may be required by the Rules and Regulations). The registration statement, as it may have heretofore been amended at the time it became effective, including the information, if any, deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A(b) of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations or Rule 430B of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, is referred to herein as the “ Registration Statement .” Any Registration Statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act is hereinafter called the “ Rule 462(b) Registration Statement ” and from and after the date and time of filing the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The Base Prospectus and the final Prospectus Supplement, in the form first furnished (electronically or otherwise) to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities (whether to meet the requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations or otherwise) or, if not furnished to the Underwriters, in the form first filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, together with the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 of the Securities Act, are herein called, collectively, the “ Prospectus .” Copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto and all documents incorporated by reference therein that were filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement (including one fully executed copy of the Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto) have been delivered to the Underwriters

and their counsel. The Base Prospectus, and any preliminary Prospectus Supplement relating to the offering of the Securities (a “ Preliminary Prospectus Supplement ”), preliminary prospectus or prospectus subject to completion, in the form first furnished (electronically or otherwise) to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities or, if not furnished to the Underwriters, in the form filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or first filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, together with the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, is hereafter called a “ Preliminary Prospectus .” “ Issuer Free Writing Prospectus ” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, relating to the Securities in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g) of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations. “ General Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus ” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors, as evidenced by its being specified as such in Schedule II to this Agreement, including the Final Term Sheet (as defined in Section 4(a) of this Agreement) included in Schedule II . “ Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus ” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not a General Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The Company has not used any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, other than the General Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus specified as such in Schedule II to this Agreement. “ Applicable Time ” means 3:58 p.m. (Eastern time) on June 13, 2013, or such other date and time agreed to by the Company and the Representatives. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), on or before the effective date of the Registration Statement, the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the date of the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference herein to the terms “ amend ,” “ amendment ” or “ supplement ” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include (i) the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the date of the Prospectus, as the case may be, which is incorporated therein by reference and (ii) any such document so filed. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“ EDGAR ”), and such copy shall be identical in content to any such documents delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the Offering.

(b) Each part of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, when such part became or becomes effective (including at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations), at the date of the filing of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and at the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of filing thereof with the Commission and at the

Closing Date, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Rules and Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “ Trust Indenture Act ”); each part of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, when such part became or becomes effective (including at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations), or when such part was or is filed with the Commission, or at the date of the filing of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of the filing thereof with the Commission and at the Closing Date, did not or will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. When any related Preliminary Prospectus was first filed with the Commission (whether filed as part of the registration statement for the registration of the Securities or any amendment thereto or pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act) and when any amendment thereof or supplement thereto was first filed with the Commission, such Preliminary Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations and did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No representation and warranty is made in this subsection (b) however, with respect to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee or (ii) any information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any related Preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives specifically for use therein. The parties acknowledge and agree that such information provided by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives consists solely of the third, fourth and fifth sentences of the twelfth paragraph of the “Underwriting” section in the Prospectus Supplement (the “ Specified Information ”). The Company has not distributed, and prior to the later of the Closing Date and the completion of the distribution of the Securities, will not distribute, any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the Securities other than the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any other materials, if any, permitted by the Securities Act (which were disclosed to the Underwriters and Underwriter Counsel and are listed on Schedule II hereof other than documents referred to in clause (C) of Section 1(d)).

(c) (i) (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto, if any, for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule

163(c) of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 163 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations and (D) at the date hereof, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations (“ Rule 405 ”). At the time of filing the Registration Statement and at the date of this Agreement, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405, including as a result of (x) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in the preceding three years having been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor or having been made the subject of a judicial or administrative decree or order as described in Rule 405 and (y) the Company in the preceding three years having been the subject of a bankruptcy petition or insolvency or similar proceeding, having had a registration statement be the subject of a proceeding under Section 8 of the Securities Act or being the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Securities, all as described in Rule 405. The Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to the Securities Act Rules and Regulations objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form. The Notes, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405. The Guarantees, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by each of the Guarantors on an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405.

(d) As of the Applicable Time, neither (i) (A) the General Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, (B) the Preliminary Prospectus or latest prospectus supplement included in the Registration Statement and (C) the documents mutually agreed to by the Company and the Representatives in a writing specifically referencing this clause (C) of Section 1(d) considered together (collectively, the “ General Disclosure Package ”), nor (ii) any individual Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements contained in or omitted from any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives specifically for use therein. The parties acknowledge and agree that such information provided by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives consists solely of the Specified Information.

(e) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Underwriters as described in the next sentence, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or included or

would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, (i) the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify the Underwriters and (ii) the Company has promptly amended or will promptly amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements contained in or omitted from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives specifically for use therein. The parties acknowledge and agree that such information provided by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives consists solely of the Specified Information.

(f) The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, at the time they became or become effective or were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Exchange Act (the “ Exchange Act Rules and Regulations ” and, together with the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, the “ Rules and Regulations ”) and, when read together with the other information in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became or become effective, at the Applicable Time, at the date of the Prospectus and at the Closing Date, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) KPMG LLP, which has certified certain of the financial statements and supporting schedules and information incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement is and, during the periods covered by their reports incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, was an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Rules and Regulations and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “ PCAOB ”), except to the extent that registration with the PCAOB was not required thereunder during an applicable period, in which case KPMG LLP consisted of independent public accountants as required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations then in effect. KPMG LLP has not notified the Company, the Company’s board of trustees or the audit committee of the board of trustees of any illegal acts that are required to be reported pursuant to Section 10A of the Exchange Act.

(h) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package (including as of the Applicable Time) and the Prospectus, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (i) there has been no change in the earnings, assets, properties, business, results of operations, shareholders’ equity, prospects, affairs or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and each subsidiary of the Company listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “ Subsidiaries ”), taken as a whole, which has had or would reasonably be expected to

have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 1(q) below), (ii) there has been no casualty, loss, condemnation or other adverse event with respect to any property or interest therein owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any Subsidiary which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) there have been no transactions entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary, other than those in the ordinary course of business, which are material with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iv) except for regular monthly and quarterly distributions on the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Common Shares ”), and regular quarterly distributions on the Company’s 5.75% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value $0.01 per share (liquidation preference $25.00 per share) (the “ Series C Preferred Shares ”), 9.00% Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value $0.01 per share (liquidation preference $25.00 per share) (the “ Series E Preferred Shares ”), and 6.625% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value $0.01 per share (liquidation preference $25.00 per share) (the “ Series F Preferred Shares ”), which have been publicly announced through the date of this Agreement, there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its shares of beneficial interest, and (v) there has been no material increase in long-term debt or decrease in the capital of the Company or the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than in the ordinary course of their businesses (each, a “ Material Adverse Change ”).

(i) The Company and each of the Guarantors have full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Securities and the Indenture (including each Guarantee set forth therein) (collectively, the “ Transaction Documents ”) and to perform their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder; and all action required to be taken for the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby has been duly and validly taken.

(j) The Securities and the Indenture conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(k) This Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus have been duly and validly authorized by the Company and each of the Guarantors and this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and each of the Guarantors.

(l) The Indenture has been duly authorized by the Company and each of the Guarantors and, when duly executed and delivered in accordance with its terms by each of the parties thereto, will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company and each of the Guarantors enforceable against the Company and each of the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles regardless of whether enforcement is sought in law or equity (collectively, the “ Enforceability Exceptions ”); and on the Closing Date, the Indenture will be duly qualified and conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

(m) The Notes have been duly authorized by the Company and, when duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered as provided in the Indenture and paid for as provided herein and therein, will be duly and validly issued and outstanding and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture; and the Guarantees have been duly authorized by each of the Guarantors and, when the Notes have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered as provided in the Indenture and paid for as provided herein, will be valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of the Guarantors in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

As used herein, “ Hazardous Material ” shall include, without limitation, any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, oil, petroleum, petroleum products, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or toxic substances, asbestos or any material as defined by any environmental laws, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C.

All of the properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries have been, and it is contemplated that all future acquisitions will be, subjected to a Phase I or similar environmental assessment (which generally includes a site inspection, interviews and a records review, but no subsurface sampling). These assessments and follow-up investigations, if any, of the properties (including, as appropriate, asbestos, radon and lead surveys, additional public record review, subsurface sampling and other testing), have not revealed any environmental liability that the Company or any Guarantor believes would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not agreed to assume, undertake or provide indemnification (except as may extend to lenders to the Company who finance the acquisition of real property or the refinancing thereof) for any liability of any other person under any environmental law, including any obligation for cleanup or remedial action, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

All subsidiary partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and entities intended to qualify as “qualified REIT subsidiaries” within the meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code (excluding taxable REIT subsidiaries) have been since their respective formations, and continue to be, treated as partnerships, disregarded entities or qualified REIT subsidiaries for federal income tax purposes and not as corporations or associations taxable as corporations or publicly traded partnerships. The Company has no present intention of changing its operations or engaging in activities which would cause it to fail to qualify, or make economically undesirable its continued qualification, as a REIT.

The Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “ Final Term Sheet ”) reflecting the final terms of the

Securities, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, and shall file such Final Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433 as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement; provided that the Company shall furnish the Underwriters with copies of any such Final Term Sheet a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not use or file any such document to which the Underwriters or Underwriter Counsel shall object.

(g) During the period of five years from the Closing Date, the Company will furnish to the Underwriters copies of all reports or other communications (financial or other) furnished to security holders or from time to time published or publicly disseminated by the Company, and will deliver to the Underwriters as soon as they are available, copies of any reports, financial statements and proxy or information statements furnished to or filed with the Commission or any national securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company is listed; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to provide the Underwriters with any such reports that have been filed with the Commission by electronic transmission pursuant to EDGAR.

(a) The Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (i) the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, (ii) any related Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including any General Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus), the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations) filed or required to be filed under Rule 433 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, or (iii) any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations) not constituting an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (except in the case of the Registration Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided , however , that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives expressly for use therein. The parties agree that such information provided by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives consists solely of the Specified Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this Agreement.

(b) Each Underwriter shall severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Guarantors, each of the trustees and officers of the Company and the Guarantors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any related Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives specifically for use therein; provided , however , that in no case shall any Underwriter be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters hereunder. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that such information provided by or on behalf of the Underwriters through the Representatives consists solely of the Specified Information.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of any claims or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 8. In case any such claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate, at its own expense in the defense of such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided , however , that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have

charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, (iii) the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, or (iv) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened claim, investigation, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought by an indemnified party under this Section 8 or Section 9 hereof (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party thereto), unless (x) such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party, and (y) the indemnifying party confirms in writing its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such settlement, compromise or judgment.

9. Contribution . In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable from any indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the Company and the Guarantors and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses suffered by the Company and the Guarantors any contribution received by the Company and the Guarantors from persons, other than the Underwriters, who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and trustees of the Company) as incurred to which the Company and the Guarantors and the Underwriters may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits from the Offering received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total proceeds from the Offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors bears to (y) the underwriting discount or commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on

the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors and of the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or any Guarantor or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the underwriting discount or commissions applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls any of the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriters, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each trustee of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto and not joint. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 9 or otherwise.

10. Survival of Representations and Agreements . All representations and warranties, covenants and agreements of the Underwriters and the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any Subsidiary submitted pursuant hereto, including the agreements contained in Section 6, the indemnity agreements contained in Section 8 and the contribution agreements contained in Section 9, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or any controlling person thereof or by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors, any of their officers and trustees or any controlling person thereof, and shall survive

delivery of and payment for the Securities to and by the Underwriters. The representations and agreements contained in Sections 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 through 18, inclusive, hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement, including termination pursuant to Section 11 hereof.

11. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination .

(a) This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 11 and of Sections 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12 through 18, inclusive, shall be in full force and effect at all times after the execution hereof.

(b) The Representatives shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date, if (A) there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), any Material Adverse Change or Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (B) any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Representatives will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the market for the Company’s securities or securities in general; or (C) if trading in any of the Company’s securities, or if trading on The New York Stock Exchange generally, shall have been suspended or been made subject to material limitations, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on The New York Stock Exchange or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (D) if a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or federal authority or if any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; or (E) any downgrading shall have occurred in the Company’s corporate credit rating or the rating accorded the Company’s debt securities or preferred stock by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act) or if any such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s debt securities; or (F) (i) if there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (ii) if there shall have been any other calamity or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (i) or (ii), in the judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(d) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, or if the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth herein is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or the Guarantors to perform any

agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof, the Company and the Guarantors will, subject to demand by the Representatives, reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) incurred by the Underwriters in connection herewith.

15. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship; Patriot Act Compliance . The Company acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the Underwriters have been retained solely to act in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company as underwriter in connection with the sale of the Company’s securities and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person; and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the Underwriters has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Underwriters have advised or are advising the Company on other matters;

(b) neither the Representatives nor any Underwriter is advising the Company as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulator matters in any jurisdiction; the Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto; and any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company;

(f) in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

16. Authority of Representatives . Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, and any such action taken by the Representatives shall be binding upon the Underwriters.

17. Non-Exclusive Remedies . The remedies provided for in Sections 8 and 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified person at law or in equity.

Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

- 10 -

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee will authenticate (i) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $275,000,000, (ii) subject to receipt of an Officers’ Certificate that certifies the issuance of such Notes complies with Section 4.06, Notes (“ Additional Notes ”) for original issue after the Issue Date (such Notes to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A ) in an unlimited amount if such Additional Notes are fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in each case upon written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, which Officers’ Certificate shall, in the case of any issuance of Additional Notes, certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.06, together with an enforceability opinion that contains customary exceptions. In addition, each such Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the securities are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes and the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on the date of authentication, and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as Global Notes or Definitive Notes. Such Notes shall initially be in the form of one or more Global Notes, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Notes to be issued, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction. All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and no series of Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

In authenticating Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA §§ 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

(2) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of the Notes have been complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such Officers’ Certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuer will maintain in each Place of Payment for the Notes an office or agency where such Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“ Registrar ”) and an office or agency where such Notes may be presented for payment (“ Paying Agent ”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “ Registrar ” includes any co-registrar and the term “ Paying Agent ” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

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

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee in respect of the Notes will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders of Notes and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar of the Notes, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor.

The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 4.06 Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur any additional Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Issuer’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP would be greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication):

(1) the Total Assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the end of the calendar year or quarter covered by the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the calendar quarter covered by the Issuer’s most recent report filed with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt (the “ Measurement Date ”); and

(2) the purchase price of any Real Estate Assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent that such proceeds were not used to acquire Real Estate Assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the Measurement Date (such sum of clauses (1) and (2) being collectively referred to as “ Adjusted Total Assets ”).

(b) In addition to the limitations in Section 4.06(a), the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Issuer’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ outstanding Secured Debt on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP is greater than 40% of Adjusted Total Assets.

(c) In addition to the limitations in Sections 4.06(a) and (b), the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the Measurement Date shall have been less than 1.5x, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that:

(1) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had been incurred at the beginning of such period;

(2) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt by the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the first day of such four-quarter period had been repaid or retired at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period);

(3) in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred in connection with any acquisition since the first day of such four-quarter period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with appropriate pro forma adjustments to, among other things Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service, with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and

(4) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate pro forma adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the foregoing calculation 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, the interest rate on such Debt will be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate in effect during the entire such four-quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entire such period; provided, however , that for purposes of calculating Annual Debt Service for Debt for which there is a corresponding Hedging Obligation, Annual Debt Service shall be calculated after giving effect to the Hedging Obligation.

Section 4.07 Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets.

The Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall maintain Total Unencumbered Assets as of the end of each fiscal quarter of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Issuer’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Unsecured Debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter, all calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

Upon any such declaration, such principal amount (or specified amount) of the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission or annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on, the Notes (excluding in connection with an offer to purchase) or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which under Article 9 may not be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note; provided, however , that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal

- 26 -

amount of the then Outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of the Notes not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes.

(4) the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of any Note to receive payment of principal, premium and interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note (excluding in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders of Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Note any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Note in any such proceeding.

This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

(g) Except with respect to the receipt of payments of principal and interest on the Notes payable by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof and any Default or Event of Default information contained in the Officers’ Certificate delivered to it pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof, the Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the Issuer’s compliance with or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made in this Indenture.

(h) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee described in Section 4.03 hereof 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 or the Guarantors’ compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein.

(k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes and if the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless such default shall have been cured or waived. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

(a) Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year beginning with the end of the fiscal year following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain Outstanding, the Trustee will mail to all Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by the Trustee to the Issuer and filed by the Trustee with the Commission and each stock exchange on which such Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer will pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder in accordance with a written schedule provided by the Trustee to the Issuer. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon written request for all disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services (including the compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel), except any such disbursement, advances and expenses as shall be determined to have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(b) The Issuer and each Guarantor will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, claims or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of

- 31 -

its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Issuer in writing promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(d) To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(8) or (9) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(f) The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

(b) The Trustee may resign with respect to the Notes in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee with respect to the Notes by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(c) If the Trustee resigns, is removed, is incapable of acting or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer, by Board Resolution, will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of Notes who has been a Holder of Notes for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

- 32 -

(f) The successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture without any further act, deed or conveyance. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

(g) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section.

(h) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.

The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may, at its option, at any time, elect to have Section 8.02 (if applicable) or Section 8.03 (if applicable) be applied to the Outstanding Notes that either have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year, or scheduled for redemption within one year, upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02 with respect to any Outstanding Notes, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all

- 33 -

such Outstanding Notes (including the related Notes Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “ Legal Defeasance ”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by such Outstanding Notes (including the related Notes Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “ Outstanding ” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, such Notes Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) this Article 8.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 with respect to any Outstanding Notes, the Issuer and the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 5.01 and 10.04 with respect to such Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “ Covenant Defeasance ”), and such Notes will thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes and the related Notes Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the related Notes Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 with respect to any Outstanding Notes, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(4) through 6.01(7) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof with respect to any Outstanding Notes:

(1) the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee for the Notes, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, money in such currency or currencies, or currency unit or currency units, in which such Note is then specified as payable at maturity, non-callable Government Obligations applicable to such Notes (determined on the basis of the currency or currencies, or currency unit or currency units, in which such Notes are then specified as payable at maturity), or any combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium and interest on such Outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

- 34 -

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that:

(i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the IRS a ruling; or

(ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred in respect of the Notes and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

(6) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Issuer or others; and

(7) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money or Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “ Trustee ”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of any Outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by such Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as such Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer will pay and indemnify such Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or non-callable Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders.

- 35 -

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, such Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to such Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however , that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

(a) If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or non-callable Government Obligations deposited in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the related Notes Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however , that the principles set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 8.07 shall apply following such reinstatement; provided further , however , that if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(b) If reinstatement of the Issuer’s and Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the related Notes Guarantees shall occur as provided in Section 8.07(a), such reinstatement shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of such deposit except that no Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a breach while any such obligation was suspended.

(c) Neither (1) the continued existence following the reinstatement of the foregoing obligations of facts and circumstances or obligations that were incurred or otherwise came into existence while the foregoing obligations were suspended nor (2) the performance of any such obligations, including the consummation of any transaction pursuant to, and on materially the same terms as, a contractual agreement in existence prior to the reinstatement of the foregoing obligations, shall constitute a breach of any such obligations or cause a Default or Event of Default in respect thereof; provided, however , that (A) the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries did not incur or otherwise cause such facts and circumstances or obligations to exist in anticipation of the reinstatement of the foregoing obligations and (B) the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries did not reasonably believe that such incurrence or actions would result in such reinstatement. For purposes of clause (2) above, any increase in the consideration to be paid prior to such amendment or modification to the terms of an existing obligation following the reinstatement of the foregoing obligations that does not exceed 10% of the consideration that was to be paid prior to such amendment or modification shall not be deemed a “material” amendment or modification. For purposes of clauses (A) and (B) above, anticipation and reasonable belief may be determined by the Issuer and shall be conclusively evidenced by a board resolution to such effect adopted by the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes Guarantees or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets;

(4) to add additional Guarantees with respect to the Notes;

(5) to secure the Notes;

(6) 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 this Indenture of any such Holder; or

(7) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided above in Section 9.01 and in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes Guarantees and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes affected by such amendment or supplemental indenture voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes Guarantees 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 (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).

Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes;

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment Default that resulted from such acceleration);

- 37 -

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(6) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or interest or premium on the Notes;

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note;

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Notes Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(9) modify or change any provisions of this Indenture affecting the ranking of the Notes or the Notes Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes; and

(10) make any change in the amendment and waiver provisions set forth in clauses (1) through (9) of this Section 9.02.

Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “Outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Outstanding Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Outstanding Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.02, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

- 38 -

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Issuer in the execution of an amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and complies with the terms of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10

NOTES GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Notes Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, such Note or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium and interest on such Note will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on such Note, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes issued with the benefit of Notes Guarantees or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, other than payment in full of all obligations under the Notes. Each Guarantor in respect of the Notes hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Notes Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Notes Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

- 39 -

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of its Notes Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purpose of its Notes Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Notes Guarantee.

(e) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes issued with the benefit of Notes Guarantees, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Notes Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Notes Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each such Guarantor will, after giving effect to any maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 10.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

No Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless:

(1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists under this Indenture; and

(2) subject to Section 10.05, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Notes Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, of the Notes Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Notes Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Notes Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

- 40 -

Except as set forth in Article 5, and notwithstanding this Section 10.04, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

Section 10.05 Releases Following Sale of Assets.

The Notes Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released, and any Person acquiring assets or surviving any merger or consolidation with a Guarantor (including by way of consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance under Section 10.04) or Capital Stock of a Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of clauses (1) or (2) below shall not be required to assume the obligations of any such Guarantor:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance under Section 10.04) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Guarantor;

(2) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Guarantor;

(3) in connection with a Guarantor becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(4) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor and the dissolution of that Guarantor, in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(5) in the event that the Issuer exercises its discharge or full defeasance options under Article 8; or

(6) in the event that the obligation as a borrower or guarantor by such Guarantor of both the 2011 Credit Agreement and the 2012 Credit Agreement is released or discharged (other than as a result of payment under such obligation) and such Guarantor is not otherwise required to provide a Notes Guarantee in accordance with Section 4.08.

Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that one of the foregoing requirements has been satisfied and the conditions to the release of a Note Guarantee under this Section 10.05 have been met, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of a Guarantor from its obligations under such Note Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Notes Guarantee will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes expressly provided for herein), when:

(1) either:

- 41 -

(A) all Notes that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee for Notes as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, money in such currency or currencies, or currency unit or currency units, in which such Notes are then specified as payable at maturity, non-callable Government Obligations applicable to such Notes (determined on the basis of the currency or currencies, or currency unit or currency units, in which such Notes are then specified as payable at maturity), or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(2) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor are a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor are bound;

(3) the Issuer or any Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; and

(4) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the money on deposit in the trust referred to in subclause (B) of clause (1) above toward the payment of such Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee for Notes stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee in respect of any Notes pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and Section 2.04.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 in respect of any Notes by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and such Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 and the provisions of Section 8.07 shall apply to the extent provided therein.

Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.

[Form of Back of Note]

5.250% Senior Notes due 2023

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) Interest . EPR Properties (the “ Issuer ”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.250% per annum from June 18, 2013 until maturity. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “ Interest Payment Date ”). 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 June 18, 2013; provided , that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further , that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15, 2014. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; the Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. 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 January 1 or July 1 (each, a “ Record Date ”) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) Paying Agent and Registrar . Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) Indenture . The Issuer issued the Notes under an indenture, dated as of June 18, 2013 (the “ Indenture ”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes and the related Note Guarantees 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 such 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 and the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Guarantors pursuant to the Note Guarantees.

(5) Optional Redemption . The Issuer will not be entitled to redeem all or any portion of the Notes at its option except as provided in the next sentence. The Issuer will be entitled at its option to redeem all or any portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). If the Notes are redeemed on or after 90 days prior to maturity,

A-3

the redemption price shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Notice of such redemption must be mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as is satisfactory to the Trustee).

After notice of optional redemption has been given as provided in the Indenture, if funds for the redemption of any Notes called for redemption have been made available on the redemption date, such Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for the redemption specified in the redemption notice and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price.

Any redemption pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Indenture shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture.

(6) Mandatory Redemption . The Issuer will not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) Notice of Redemption . Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

(8) Denominations, Transfer, 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 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. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a Record Date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(9) Persons Deemed Owners . The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(10) Amendment, Supplement and Waiver . Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes 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 Notes Guarantees 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 Notes Guarantees 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 of the Issuer’s obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets; add additional Guarantees with respect to the Notes; to 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 Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the applicable Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

(11) Defaults and Remedies . Events of Default with respect to the Notes (as defined in the Indenture) include: (i) default in the payment of principal or any premium on the Notes when due and payable; (ii) default in the payment of interest on the Notes within 30 days after the applicable due date; (iii) failure to comply with Section 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) breach of any other term of the Indenture for 60 days after receipt of a notice of Default stating the Issuer is in breach; (v) certain final judgments are

A-4

entered against the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (vi) default under any of certain Debt of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, which default results in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness, unless such other Debt is discharged, or the acceleration is rescinded or annulled, within 30 days after the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries receives notice of the default; (vii) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur with respect to the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and (viii) any Notes Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the Indenture or any Notes Guarantee other than by reason of the release of any such Notes Guarantee in accordance with the Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare the entire principal amount of the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all Outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if and so long as it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Notes. Subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes. The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

(12) Trustee Dealings with Issuer . The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

(13) No Recourse Against Others . No past, present or future trustee, director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries 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.

(14) Authentication . This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(15) Abbreviations . Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

(16) CUSIP Numbers . Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. 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.

[FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS]

Supplemental Indenture (this “ Supplemental Indenture ”), dated as of , 20 , among (the “ Guaranteeing Subsidiary ”), EPR Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “ Issuer ”), the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to below) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “ Trustee ”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of June 18, 2013 (the “ Indenture ”), providing for the issuance of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “ Notes ”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “ Notes Guarantee ”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1. Capitalized Terms . Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2. Agreement to Guarantee . The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:

(a) Subject to Article 10 of the Indenture, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.

(b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor, other than payment in full of all Obligations under the Notes.

B-1

(c) The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.

(d) This Notes Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.

(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Notes Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.

(g) As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Notes Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Notes Guarantee.

(h) The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Notes Guarantee.

(i) In accordance with Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or fraudulent conveyance law, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this Notes Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Notes Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

3. Guaranteeing Subsidiary may Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms .

(a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not the Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor unless:

(i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(ii) subject to Section 10.05 of the Indenture, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all of the obligations of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Indenture and this Notes Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of this Notes Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guaranteeing Subsidiary with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guaranteeing Subsidiary. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Notes Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable under the Indenture which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Notes Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Notes Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Notes Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

B-2

(c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and Section 10.04 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor.

4. Releases .

(a) The Notes Guarantee of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be released, and any Person acquiring assets (including by way of merger or consolidation) or Capital Stock of a Guaranteeing Subsidiary under those circumstances specified in Section 10.05 of the Indenture shall not be required to assume the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary. Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the provisions of Section 10.05 of the Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary from its obligations under this Notes Guarantee.

(b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Notes Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture.

5. No Recourse Against Others . No past, present or future trustee, director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, equity holder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, this Notes Guarantee, the Indenture or this Supplemental 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. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.

6. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN . THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

7. Counterparts . The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

8. Effect of Headings . The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

9. The Trustee . The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Issuer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above written.

The enforceability of each Transaction Document is subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, arrangement, moratorium, assignment for the benefit of creditors and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. This qualification includes the avoidance, fraudulent transfer and preference provisions of the federal Bankruptcy Code of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended, and the fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws of the State of Missouri and of the State of New York, and we express no opinion that any Transaction provided for in the Transaction Documents would not be subject to avoidance or otherwise adversely affected under such provisions or laws.

The enforceability of each Transaction Document is subject to the effect of principles of equity (including those respecting the concepts of reasonableness, materiality, good faith and fair dealing and the availability of injunctive relief or specific performance), whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, and the limitations imposed by applicable procedural requirements of applicable state or federal law.

The enforceability of each Transaction Document is subject to: (1) the effect of generally applicable rules of law that limit or deny the enforceability of provisions (i) purporting to waive defenses or rights or the obligations of good faith, fair dealing, diligence and reasonableness; (ii) purporting to authorize a party to take discretionary independent actions for the account of, or as agent or attorney-in-fact for, a party to the Indenture under a Transaction Document; or (iii) purporting to provide for the indemnification or exculpation of, or contribution to, a party with respect to such party’s intentional acts or gross negligence, with respect to securities law violations or to the extent that such provisions violate public policy considerations; and (2) the effect of generally applicable rules of law that govern and afford judicial discretion regarding the determination of damages.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of: (i) any contractual provision which either directly or indirectly limits or tends to limit the time in which any suit or action may be instituted by a party; (ii) any contractual provision which requires a party to execute and deliver additional agreements or instruments other than agreements or instruments which are limited in effect to effectuating the express terms of a Transaction Document and do not expand or modify such terms; (iii) any contractual provision whereby a party or parties submit to the jurisdiction of a particular court or forum for the adjudication of disputes or waive any claim, defense or right of appeal based upon a lack of jurisdiction, inconvenient forum, venue or the like; (iv) any waiver by a party of personal service of process or any consent of a party to service of process upon it in a manner that does not satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (v) any waiver by a party of its right to a jury trial; (vi) any severability provision in any Transaction Document; (vii) any right of set-off in any Transaction Document; (viii) redemption premiums or debt prepayment or yield-maintenance fees; (ix) default, post-judgment or redemption period rates of interest; (x) the recovery of attorneys’ or collection agency fees; (xi) appointment of a receiver as a matter of right or otherwise without prior judicial approval thereof; (xii) any contractual provision which would have the effect of giving the Trustee or a holder of any Notes cumulative or duplicative remedies, to the extent such accumulated or duplicate remedies purport to or would have the effect of compensating the Trustee or such holder in any amount in excess of the

EPR Properties

actual amount of loss suffered by the Trustee or such holder, as applicable; (xiii) any waiver of rights or remedies which, by applicable law, cannot be waived by agreement; and (xiv) any modification or waiver of evidentiary standards established by applicable law.

Our opinions, insofar as they relate to provisions of the Transaction Documents concerning the choice of law or purporting to constitute a submission to the jurisdiction of one or more specified courts, are rendered solely in reliance upon New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401 and 5-1402, and New York Civil Practice Law and Rules, Rule 327(b), and are expressly conditioned upon the assumption that the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of such provisions will be determined by a court of the State of New York or a United States Federal court sitting in New York and applying New York choice of law rules, including such Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402.

The enforceability of any provision of a Transaction Document which purports to be a guarantee of the payment or performance of obligations of another person (“ guaranteed obligations ”), including the Guarantees, is subject to the effect of generally applicable rules of law that may discharge the Guarantor to the extent that (i) action or inaction by a beneficiary of the guaranteed obligations impairs the value of collateral securing guaranteed obligations to the detriment of such Guarantor or (ii) the guaranteed obligations are materially modified without the consent of such Guarantor.

With respect to the Guarantees of those Guarantors which are Missouri corporations, we advise you that the Missouri General Business Corporation Law specifically provides for the power of a corporation to enter into guaranties. Mo. Rev. Stat. § 351.385(7); see Charter Capital Group, Inc. v. Cook, 813 S.W. 2d 383, 385 (Ct. App. Mo. 1991) (dictum). See also , State v. Long-Bell Lumber Co. , 12 S.W. 2d 64, 83-84 (Mo. 1928) (corporation has implied power to guaranty bonds issued to finance the construction of improvements which substantially benefited the corporation’s development). However, we are aware of an unpublished court opinion in which the issue was whether a corporation’s guaranty was invalid under Article XI, Section 7 of the Missouri Constitution and Mo. Rev. Stat. § 351.160. Those provisions prohibit and invalidate fictitious issues of securities or increases in indebtedness by a corporation. According to the court’s opinion, the purpose of those provisions is to insure that a corporation does not incur an obligation unless it receives reasonably equivalent consideration in return. The court did not expressly rule that a corporate guaranty could be prohibited by those provisions but found that the guarantor had received adequate consideration for its guaranty because the proceeds of the guaranteed loans were used to pay off an antecedent indebtedness of the guarantor.

In re Holden Fertilizer Service, Inc. , No. 89-41949-2-11, Slip Op. at 5-6 (Bankr. W.D. Mo., Sept. 20, 1990). Although the guaranty was upheld, the court’s opinion raises the uncertainty that the Missouri fictitious indebtedness provisions would invalidate a corporate guaranty of a Missouri corporation which is given without sufficient benefit to the guarantor.

Certain waivers, procedures, remedies and other provisions of any Transaction Document may be rendered unenforceable or limited by the laws, regulations or judicial decisions of the State of Missouri or of the State of New York within the scope of this opinion letter, but such laws, regulations and judicial decisions would not render any of such Transaction Documents invalid as a whole under the laws of the State of Missouri or of the State of New York and would not make the remedies available under such Transaction Documents inadequate for the practical realization of the principal rights and benefits purporting to be afforded thereby, except for the economic consequences of any judicial, administrative or other delay or procedure which may be imposed by applicable law.

Our opinions and statements expressed herein are based upon the facts in existence and the laws in effect on the date hereof, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to update or supplement such opinions or statements in response to changes in the law by legislative or regulatory action, judicial decision or otherwise becoming effective hereafter or future events or circumstances affecting the Transactions and becoming known to us after the date hereof.

This opinion letter is limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond those expressly stated herein. This opinion letter shall not be construed as or deemed to be a guaranty or insuring agreement. This opinion letter is provided to you on the date hereof and we have no continuing obligation hereunder to inform you of changes of law, including judicial interpretations of law, or of facts of which we become aware after the date hereof.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement comprising a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Re:	Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-189023)

5.250% Senior Notes due 2023

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to EPR Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “ Company ”), in connection with the public offering and sale by the Company of $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.250% Senior Notes due 2023 pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-189023) (the “ Registration Statement ”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on June 3, 2013, and the related prospectus dated June 3, 2013 (the “ Prospectus ”), and prospectus supplement dated June 13, 2013 (the “ Prospectus Supplement ”).

You have requested that we express our opinion as to: (i) the qualification of the Company as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “ REIT ”) under the provisions of Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”); and (ii) the accuracy of the discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations contained under the caption “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented by the discussion contained under the caption “Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Prospectus Supplement.

In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have reviewed such documents and made such inquiries as we have deemed necessary as a basis for such opinions. In addition, the Company has made certain representations to us as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate dated June 18, 2013 (the “ Officers’ Certificate ”), and, with your consent, we have relied upon such representations in expressing our opinions herein. In expressing our opinions herein, we have assumed, with your consent, that (i) the statements and representations set forth in the Officers’ Certificate are true and correct, and (ii) the Officers’ Certificate has been executed by appropriate and authorized officers of the Company. Although we have not independently investigated the representations to us set forth in the Officers’ Certificate, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to question the accuracy of any representation contained in the Officers’ Certificate.

Based on the foregoing and an analysis of the Code, Treasury Regulations thereunder, judicial authority and current administrative rulings and such other laws and facts as we have deemed relevant and necessary, and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, the Company has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation (and the Company has qualified) as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and its current and proposed method of operation (as represented in the Officers’ Certificate, and as described in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement) will enable the Company to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for the current and subsequent taxable years under the Code as currently in force and effect.

2. The statements in the Prospectus under the caption “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” as amended and supplemented by the statements in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” to the extent that they describe matters of law or legal conclusions, are correct in all material respects.

The opinions expressed herein are based on existing law as contained in the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect on the date hereof, and the interpretations of such provisions and regulations by the Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) and the courts having jurisdiction over such matters, all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively, and to possibly different interpretations. Also, any variation or difference in the facts from those set forth in the Registration

Statement or the Officers’ Certificate may affect the opinions expressed herein. Moreover, the Company’s qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon the Company’s ability to meet, through actual annual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of share ownership and the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, the results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company’s operations for any taxable year will satisfy such requirements.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and we express no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any matters beyond that expressly stated herein. The opinions expressed herein represent our legal judgment, but they have no binding effect or official status of any kind, and no assurance can be given that contrary positions may not be successfully asserted by the IRS or a court. This letter shall not be construed as or deemed to be a guaranty or insuring agreement. The opinions expressed herein are rendered as of the date first written above and we have no continuing obligation hereunder to inform you of changes of law, including judicial interpretations of law, or of facts, circumstances, events or developments of which we become aware after the date hereof and which may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
