7

Section 201  Limitation on Incurrence of Debt. The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) is greater than 60% of its and its Subsidiaries’ Total Asset Value.

Section 202  Limitation on the Incurrence of Secured Debt. In addition to the limitation set forth in Section 201 above, the Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) secured by any Lien on any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ property or assets if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) secured by a Lien on any of its or its Subsidiaries’ property or assets is greater than 40% of its and its Subsidiaries’ Total Asset Value.

Section 203  Limitation on the Incurrence of Debt Based on Consolidated EBITDA to Annual Debt Service Charge. In addition to the limitations set forth in Sections 201 and 202 above, the Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Annual Debt Service Charge (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such Debt is to be incurred (for which consolidated financial statements have been filed with the Commission on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, or, if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) shall have been less than 1.5:1, calculated on the following assumptions:  (1) such Debt and any other Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) incurred by Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four consecutive fiscal quarterly period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (including to repay or retire other Debt) had occurred, on the first day of such period; (2) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt  of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four consecutive fiscal quarterly  period had occurred on the first day of such period (except that, in making this computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); and (3) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets with a fair market value in excess of $1.0 million since the first day of such four consecutive fiscal quarterly period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, such acquisition or disposition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the calculation described above or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt shall be computed on a pro forma basis by applying the average daily rate which would

8

have been in effect during the entire  such four consecutive fiscal quarterly period to the greater of the amount of such Debt outstanding at the end of such period or the average amount of such Debt outstanding during such period.

Section 204  Maintenance of Unencumbered Asset Value. The Guarantor shall not have at any time Total Unencumbered Asset Value of less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of its and its Subsidiaries’ outstanding Unsecured Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP).

(6)           Sinking Fund Provisions. The Notes shall not be entitled to the benefits of, or be subject to, any sinking fund.

(7)           Guarantee. The Guarantee of the Guarantor under Article Four of the Original Indenture shall apply to the Notes by virtue of the Guarantor’s execution and delivery of the First Supplemental Indenture.

Section 303  Redemption.

(1)           Optional Redemption. The Notes shall be redeemable, at the Company’s sole option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in each case prior to May 19, 2024 (i.e., two months prior to the Stated Maturity Date), for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of unpaid interest accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date), discounted to such Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association)) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 0.350%, plus, in each case, unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date.

In addition, at any time on or after May 19, 2024 (i.e., two months prior to the Stated Maturity Date), the Notes shall be redeemable, at the Company’s sole option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest shall be payable to Holders of the Notes on the Regular Record Date applicable to an Interest Payment Date falling on or before such Redemption Date.

(2)           Redemption for Tax Reasons. Section 1208 of the Original Indenture shall apply and “date of the issuance” as used in Section 1208 shall mean January 19, 2017.

(3)           Notice of Redemption. The Company (or, at the Company’s request, the Paying Agent on its behalf) must transmit a notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. Such notice of redemption shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the place or places of payment and that payment shall be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes. Once notice of redemption is delivered to Holders, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. On the Redemption Date, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying

13

Agent an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes so called for redemption at the Redemption Price.

In the case of a redemption of Notes represented by a Global Note, the Clearing Systems shall select the Notes for redemption according to the Clearing Systems’ stated procedures therefor, and the Registrar shall record such redemption in the Security Register and shall provide details of such redemption to the Clearing Systems. In the case of a redemption of Notes represented by a Global Note, the Paying Agent shall instruct the Clearing Systems to make such appropriate entries in their records in respect of all Notes redeemed by the Company to reflect such redemptions.

Unless there is a default in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption from and including the Redemption Date.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee, upon prior notice from the Company, shall select the Notes to be redeemed, which, in the case of Notes in book-entry form, shall be in accordance with the procedures of the applicable depositary or common safe-keeper. The Trustee may select Notes and portions of Notes in amounts of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 304  Additional Terms.

The terms of this Section 304 apply solely to the Notes and shall not affect the rights under the Original Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

(1)           Defeasance. For purposes of Article Five under the Original Indenture, “Government Obligations” has the meaning set forth below:

“Government Obligations” means securities denominated in Euro that are (i) direct obligations of the Federal Republic of Germany, where the payment or payments thereunder are supported by the full faith and credit of the German government or (ii) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the Federal Republic of Germany, where the timely payment or payments thereunder are unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the German government, and which, in the case of (i) or (ii), are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer or issuers thereof, and shall also include a depositary receipt issued  by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of or other amount with respect to any such Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depositary receipt; provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of or other amount with respect to the Government Obligation evidenced by such depositary receipt; provided, however, if the Euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency or for the settlement of

14

transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then all references herein to “Euro” shall be “U.S. Dollars,” “Federal Republic of Germany” shall be “United States” and “German government” shall be “United States Government”.

(2)           Notes Outstanding. In addition to the terms provided for in the Original Indenture, in the case of a Global Note, save for the purposes of determining Notes that are outstanding for consent or voting purposes under the Indenture, the Trustee shall rely on the records of the Clearing Systems in relation to any determination of the principal amount outstanding of such Global Note. For this purpose, “records” means the records that each of the Clearing Systems holds for its customers which reflect the amount of such customer’s interest in the Notes.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF GLOBAL NOTE]

2.250% Senior Note due 2024

General. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of WPC EUROBOND B.V., a Dutch private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), as issuer (the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Original Indenture”), dated as of November 8, 2016, by and among the Company, the Guarantor and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of January 19, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities designated as “2.250% Senior Notes due 2024” (collectively, the “Notes”), limited, except as specified below, in aggregate principal amount to FIVE HUNDRED MILLION EURO (€500,000,000). To the extent the terms of this Note conflict with the terms of the Indenture, the terms of this Note shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, the Securities (1) shall be evidenced by this Global Note at all times, (2) are Registered Securities as such term is defined in the Indenture and (3) shall be registered as to both principal and stated interest with such principal and interest payable solely to the Holders thereof; the Company shall take no action that would cause the Securities to not meet the foregoing requirements.

The Guarantee. To guarantee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantor has fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed such obligations pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The Guarantee is an unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Guarantor and ranks equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and obligations of the Guarantor.

Payment of Interest. Interest on this Note shall be payable, annually in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date and shall be computed on the basis of an ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association) day count convention. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Business Day, as defined in the Indenture, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”). Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on an Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, not inconsistent with the requirements of the Irish Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency maintained for such purpose in London, initially the Office of the Paying Agent, or by electronic means, in Euro. Interest payable on Global Notes shall be made in immediately available funds to the Clearing Systems or to the nominee of the CSK, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Note. If any of the Notes are no longer represented by Global Notes, payment of interest on the Notes in definitive form may, at the option of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, be made by check mailed directly to Holders at their registered addresses.

Issuance in Euro. Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be payable in Euro. If Euro is unavailable to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s or the Guarantor’s, as applicable, control or the Euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the Euro as their currency for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes shall be made in Dollars until Euro is again available to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, or so

used. In such case, the amount payable on any date in Euro shall be converted to Dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day before the date that payment is due, or if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date that payment is due. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in Dollars shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be responsible for obtaining exchange rates, effecting conversions or otherwise handling re-denominations.

“Market Exchange Rate” means the noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers of Euro as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Optional Redemption; Redemption for Tax Reasons. The provisions of Article Twelve of the Original Indenture (defined below) shall apply to this Note, as supplemented or amended by the following paragraphs.

The Notes shall be redeemable, at the Company’s sole option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in each case prior to May 19, 2024 (i.e., two months prior to the Stated Maturity Date), for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of unpaid interest accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date), discounted to such Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) (as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association)) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 0.350%, plus, in each case, unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date.

In addition, at any time on or after May 19, 2024 (i.e., two months prior to the Stated Maturity Date), the Notes shall be redeemable, at the Company’s sole option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, for cash, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date.

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the Netherlands or the United States (or any taxing authority thereof or therein), as applicable, or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after January 19, 2017, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by them, shall become obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes, then the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole, but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, such Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest shall be payable to Holders of the Notes on the Regular Record Date applicable to an Interest Payment Date falling on or before such Redemption Date.

The following definitions shall apply with respect to the foregoing:

“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an Independent Investment Banker, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes to be redeemed, or if the Independent Investment Banker in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such Independent Investment Banker may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by such Independent Investment Banker, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by an Independent Investment Banker.

“Independent Investment Banker” means each of J.P. Morgan Securities plc and Merrill Lynch International and their respective successors, or, if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Government Bond, an independent investment banking institution of international standing appointed by the Company.

A-2

In order to exercise the Company’s right of optional redemption or redemption for tax reasons, the Company (or, at the Company’s request, the Paying Agent on its behalf) must transmit a notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. Such notice of redemption shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the place or places of payment, and that payment shall be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes. Once notice of redemption is delivered to Holders, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. On the Redemption Date, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes so called for redemption at the Redemption Price.

Unless there is a default in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption from and including the Redemption Date.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee, upon prior notice from the Company, shall select the Notes to be redeemed, which, in the case of Notes in book-entry form, shall be in accordance with the procedures of the applicable depositary or common safe-keeper. The Trustee may select Notes and portions of Notes in amounts of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

Payment of Additional Amounts. All payments in respect of the Notes shall be made by Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature, imposed or levied by the Netherlands or the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein, as applicable, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay to a Holder who is not a United States person, as applicable, such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) on the Securities as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company, the Guarantor, as applicable, or a Paying Agent of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities to such Holder, after such withholding or deduction, shall not be less than the amount provided in the Securities to be then due and payable, provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply to the exceptions provided for in Section 1104 of the Original Indenture.

The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided hereunder, neither the Company nor the Guarantor, as applicable, shall be required to make any payment for any tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge of whatever nature imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

Place of Payment. The Company, or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall make payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on, this Note at the office or agency maintained for such purpose in London, initially the Office of the Paying Agent, or by electronic means, in Euro.

Time of Payment. If an Interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity Date or any Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, the Stated Maturity Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may be, and no additional interest shall accrue on such payment as a result of payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

Further Issuance. The Company may, from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of, the Holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the series of Notes and issue and sell additional Securities (“Additional Securities”) ranking equally and ratably with, and having the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as, the originally issued Notes (other than the issue date and, to the extent applicable, issue price, initial Interest Payment Date and initial date of interest accrual). Any such Additional Securities shall be consolidated, and constitute a single series of Securities, with the originally issued Notes for all purposes; provided, however, that any such Additional Securities that have the same CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code or other identifying number of any Outstanding Notes must be fungible with such Outstanding Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If this Note is represented by a Global Note, details of such Additional Securities may be entered in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems such that the nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note may be increased by the amount of such Additional Securities so issued.

A-3

Modification and Waivers; Obligations of the Company Absolute. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Guarantor, as applicable, and the rights of the Holders of the Securities. Such amendment and modification may be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby (voting as separate classes). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series to waive, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver in respect of the Notes shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this Note and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Limitation on Suits. As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, except in the case of failure of the Trustee, for 60 days, to act after it has received a written request to institute proceedings in respect of an Event of Default from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, as well as an offer of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and no inconsistent direction has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Note on the respective due dates therefor and to institute suit for the enforcement therefor, and this right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of €100,000 or any integral multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof.

Effectuation. This Note shall not be valid for any purposes until it has been effectuated for or on behalf of the entity appointed as common safe-keeper by the relevant Clearing Systems.
