defeasance pursuant to Section 1403.
Notwithstanding any discharge
of the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series pursuant to Section 401 of the Indenture or any defeasance or covenant
defeasance with respect to the Securities of such series pursuant to Article Fourteen of the Indenture, and without limitation to
any of the provisions of the Indenture which, as provided in Section 401 or Article Fourteen of the Indenture, as applicable,
shall also survive any such discharge, defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, the provisions set forth in the Form of
Security under the caption “Payment of Additional Amounts” (including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to

as Section 801 of the Indenture is applicable to the Securities of such series, the term “Subsidiary,” as such term is

shall be deemed to include, without limitation, “Debt” and “Secured Debt” (as such terms are defined in the Form of

and provisions are incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Annex A-1 and the Indenture as if set forth in full herein and
therein.
(27) As
used in the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series and in the certificates evidencing the Securities of such series,
all references to “premium” on the Securities of such series shall mean any amounts (other than accrued interest) payable
upon the redemption of any Securities of such series in excess of 100% of the principal amount of such Securities.
(28) Payments
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, Global Securities of such series will

the Form of Security and in the Indenture.
(29) The

below, provided that such amendments, amendments and restatements, deletions and supplements shall only be applicable insofar as the Indenture
relates to the Securities of such series and shall not be applicable with respect to any other series of debt securities issued under
the Indenture:
(a) The

are hereby amended to refer instead to “Clearstream”.
(d) The
definition of the term “Common Depositary” appearing in Sections 101 and 304 of the Indenture shall have the meaning set forth

for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and the Indenture may be
served in a major financial center or major city (selected by the Company in its reasonable discretion) in the country which issues such
new currency and maintain such office or agency for so long as the Securities of such series are payable in such new currency or, if no
single country is the issuer of such new currency, in a major financial center or major city (selected by the Company in its reasonable
discretion) in such country as the Company shall in its reasonable discretion deem appropriate, and such financial center or city, as
applicable, shall be deemed a Place of Payment for the Securities of such series so long as the Securities of such series shall be payable
in such new currency (except that the Company shall not be required to maintain an office or agency in such Place of Payment where Securities
of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or a Securities Registrar or Securities Register in such Place
of Payment); provided that the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not affect the obligations of the Company to maintain an office

for registration of transfer or exchange, where a Securities Register or Securities Registrar shall be maintained, or where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served, as the case may be, in such
place or places as may be required pursuant to the terms of the Securities of such series or this Indenture.”
(q) Section 1010

paragraph of such Section and by adding the following proviso at the end of the first paragraph of such Section immediately
after the words “express mention is not made” and immediately before the period at the end of such paragraph:
“; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing and also
notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, if the Securities of any series (a) provide for the payment of Additional
Amounts and (b) further provide that such Additional Amounts, if any, shall be paid as additional interest on the Securities of such
series, then the references to “principal” and “premium” appearing in clause (2) of the first paragraph of
Section 501, clause (1)(B) of the second paragraph of Section 502 and clause (2) of the first paragraph of Section 503
of this Indenture shall not include any Additional Amounts that may be payable in respect of the principal of or premium, if any, on the
Securities of such series, and instead the references to Additional Amounts appearing in clause (1) of the first paragraph of Section 501,
clause (1)(A) of the second paragraph of Section 502 and clause (1) of the first paragraph of Section 503 of this
Indenture shall include all Additional Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of such series (including, without limitation, Additional

of such series).”
(r) Section 1010
of the Indenture is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the last paragraph of such Section and inserting the following two
new paragraphs immediately after the first paragraph of such Section, such two new paragraphs to read in full as follows:
“If the Securities of any series
provide for the payment of Additional Amount and the Company becomes aware that any deduction or withholding for or on account of any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge set forth or provided for in the Securities of such series shall be required with respect
to payments on such Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee and each Paying Agent on a date that is at least 30 days prior
to the date such deduction or withholding will be required (unless the obligation to deduct or withhold such taxes, assessments, duties
or other governmental charges arises less than 30 days prior to that date that such deduction or withholding will be required, in
which case the Company shall notify the Trustee and each Paying Agent promptly after the Company becomes aware that such requirement has
arisen) an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such deduction or withholding for or on account of any such taxes, duties,
assessments or other governmental charges will be required and specifying by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on or
deducted from such payments to the Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the
case may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as applicable
shall be entitled (1) to assume that no such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities of such series until such time as it shall
have received an Officers’ Certificate advising otherwise and (2) to make all payments of principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, the Securities of such series and related coupons without withholding
or deductions until otherwise advised.”
“If
the Securities of any series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts and if, at the time of deposit of any funds or Government
Obligations as contemplated by Section 401 or Section 1404 of this Indenture in connection with the satisfaction and discharge,
defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Securities of such series, the Company is required, or is aware that it will be required, to
pay Additional Amounts in respect of any principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, the Securities
of such series, then the funds and, if applicable, Government Securities so deposited must also be sufficient to pay and discharge such
Additional Amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities
of such series.”
(s) The
first sentence of Section 1104 of the Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “30 days” with “15 days”.
(t) Clause (10) of
the third paragraph of Section 1104 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall
be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature that is delivered physically or use of a paper-based
record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any
state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limitation to the foregoing and anything
in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject, however, to the proviso to this sentence, (a) any Security, supplemental
indenture, Officers’ Certificate, Company Order, Company Request, Opinion of Counsel or other opinion of counsel, instrument, agreement
or other document delivered pursuant to this Indenture may be executed, attested and transmitted by any of the foregoing electronic means

“SECTION 116. ELECTRONIC
INSTRUCTIONS
“The Trustee shall have the right
to accept and act upon instructions from the Company, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant
to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means (as defined below); provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee
an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Relevant Officers”) and containing
specimen signatures of such Relevant Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be
added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee
in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling
in the absence of negligence or bad faith. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of
the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent
by a Relevant Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Relevant Officer. The
Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Relevant Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and
all Relevant Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords
and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising
directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding that such directions
conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction, other than losses, costs or expenses arising from the Trustee’s
negligence or bad faith. The Company agrees: (i) to assume (in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee)
all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the
Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed
of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more
secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if
any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to the Trustee a commercially reasonable degree of protection
in light of its particular needs and circumstances ; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or
unauthorized use of the security procedures.
“As used in this Section 116,
"Electronic Means" shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission
containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified
by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.
“The foregoing provisions of this
Section 116 shall not limit the provisions of Section 115 but are subject to the prohibition on the use of DocuSign, AdobeSign
or other electronic signatures under the circumstances set forth in Section 115.”
(30) The first sentence of Section 1104 of the Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “30 days” with “10 days”; provided that the foregoing amendment shall be applicable only with respect to the Securities of such series and shall only be effective for so long as any of the Securities of such series is outstanding.
(31) Section 501(5) of the Indenture is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following, provided that such amendment shall only be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series and shall only be effective for so long as any of the Securities of such series is outstanding:
“ (5) default
under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including
obligations under leases required to be capitalized on the balance sheet of the lessee under generally accepted accounting principles,
but not including any indebtedness or obligations for which recourse is limited to property purchased) in an aggregate principal amount
in excess of $200,000,000 or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured
or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including such leases, but not including such
indebtedness or obligations for which recourse is limited to property purchased) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $200,000,000,
whether such indebtedness exists on the date of this Indenture or shall thereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in such
indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable or which
default shall have resulted in such obligations being accelerated, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, provided,
however, that for so long as any Securities issued pursuant to this Indenture are outstanding that contain a reference to a dollar amount
that is less than $200,000,000 in this clause (5) (a “Reduced Cross Default Threshold”), the references to $200,000,000
above, in each case, in this clause (5) is replaced by the lowest Reduced Cross Default Threshold reflected in any Securities issued
pursuant to this Indenture that are outstanding at that time; or”
(32) Anything
in the Indenture, the Form of Security or this Annex A-1 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any conflict between the
terms set forth in the Form of Security and the terms set forth in this Annex A-1, the terms set forth in the Form of Security

Security under the caption “Payment of Additional Amounts” (including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to
pay Additional Amounts) shall survive any such discharge, defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, and remain in full force
and effect and shall also survive any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of its Securities of such series or its beneficial interest
in Global Securities of such series.
(20) The
Securities of such series will be authenticated and delivered as provided in Section 303 of the Indenture; provided that, notwithstanding
anything in Section 303 or elsewhere in the Indenture to the contrary, the Securities of such series may, but need not, be executed

(24) Insofar
as Section 801 of the Indenture is applicable to the Securities of such series, the term “Subsidiary,” as such term is
used in Section 801(2) of the Indenture, shall have the meaning set forth in the Form of Security (instead of the meaning
set forth in Section 101 of the Indenture), and the term “indebtedness,” as used in Section 801(2) of the Indenture,
shall be deemed to include, without limitation, “Debt” and “Secured Debt” (as such terms are defined in the Form of
Security).
(25) The
provisions of Section 1011 of the Indenture shall be applicable with respect to any term, provision or condition set forth in the

(26) The
Securities of such series shall have such other terms and provisions as are set forth in the Form of Security, all of which terms
and provisions are incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Annex A-2 and the Indenture as if set forth in full herein and
therein.
(27) As
used in the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series and in the certificates evidencing the Securities of such series,

(28) Payments
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, Global Securities of such series will
be made by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee. In the event that any Securities
of such series are issued in the form of Certificated Securities of such series, payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, such Certificated Securities of such series shall be made in the manner set forth in
the Form of Security and in the Indenture.

relates to the Securities of such series and shall not be applicable with respect to any other series of debt securities issued under
the Indenture:

All other references to “CEDEL” appearing in the Indenture
are hereby amended to refer instead to “Clearstream”.
(d) The

only as provided in this paragraph. A Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to the Common Depositary for
such Global Security or a nominee of the Common Depositary, or by a nominee of the Common Depositary to the Common Depositary, or to a
successor Common Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee of such successor Common Depositary. If at any time (i) Euroclear

or if Euroclear or Clearstream ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(or any successor thereto), at any time when it is required to be so registered in order to act as a clearing agency for the Global Securities
of such series and in either such case a successor clearing agency is not appointed within 90 days after the Company receives such
notice or learns of such ineligibility, (ii) the Company determines that the Securities of such series shall no longer be represented
by Global Securities and executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to such effect or (iii) an Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing and beneficial owners representing a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series advise Euroclear and Clearstream to cease acting as clearing
agencies for the Global Securities of such series, then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive
Securities of like series, rank, tenor and other terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of such Global Securities. Any Securities of such series in definitive form issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global

as applicable, shall instruct the Security Registrar for the Securities of such series.”
(l) The
Global Securities of such series need not include the provision that would otherwise be required by the third paragraph of Section 307
of the Indenture.
(m) Section 704
is hereby amended by replacing the word “semiannually” each time it appears in such Section with the word “annually”.

of the Indenture and thereafter a Conversion Event shall have occurred with respect to the Securities of such series, in which case the
Company shall maintain an exchange rate agent to determine the market exchange rate referred to in the second paragraph of Section 1405
of the Indenture for so long as such Conversion Event shall be continuing. Such exchange rate agent shall be a financial institution or
a financial services firm (or a subsidiary of either of the foregoing) of recognized standing appointed by the Company.
(p) Section 1002
of the Indenture is hereby supplemented by adding the following paragraph immediately after the last paragraph that currently appears
in such Section:
“If the Securities of any series
shall become or be payable in a currency (the “new currency”) other than the currency in which the Securities of such series
were originally payable, the Company shall maintain an office or agency where the Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered
for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and the Indenture may be
served in a major financial center or major city (selected by the Company in its reasonable discretion) in the country which issues such
new currency and maintain such office or agency for so long as the Securities of such series are payable in such new currency or, if no
single country is the issuer of such new currency, in a major financial center or major city (selected by the Company in its reasonable
discretion) in such country as the Company shall in its reasonable discretion deem appropriate, and such financial center or city, as
applicable, shall be deemed a Place of Payment for the Securities of such series so long as the Securities of such series shall be payable
in such new currency (except that the Company shall not be required to maintain an office or agency in such Place of Payment where Securities
of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or a Securities Registrar or Securities Register in such Place
of Payment); provided that the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not affect the obligations of the Company to maintain an office
or agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange, where a Securities Register or Securities Registrar shall be maintained, or where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served, as the case may be, in such
place or places as may be required pursuant to the terms of the Securities of such series or this Indenture.”
(q) Section 1010
of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting the words “except in the case of Section 502(1)” appearing in the first
paragraph of such Section and by adding the following proviso at the end of the first paragraph of such Section immediately
after the words “express mention is not made” and immediately before the period at the end of such paragraph:
“; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing and also
notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, if the Securities of any series (a) provide for the payment of Additional
Amounts and (b) further provide that such Additional Amounts, if any, shall be paid as additional interest on the Securities of such
series, then the references to “principal” and “premium” appearing in clause (2) of the first paragraph of
Section 501, clause (1)(B) of the second paragraph of Section 502 and clause (2) of the first paragraph of Section 503
of this Indenture shall not include any Additional Amounts that may be payable in respect of the principal of or premium, if any, on the
Securities of such series, and instead the references to Additional Amounts appearing in clause (1) of the first paragraph of Section 501,
clause (1)(A) of the second paragraph of Section 502 and clause (1) of the first paragraph of Section 503 of this
Indenture shall include all Additional Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of such series (including, without limitation, Additional
Amounts payable in respect of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, the Securities
of such series).”
(r) Section 1010
of the Indenture is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the last paragraph of such Section and inserting the following two
new paragraphs immediately after the first paragraph of such Section, such two new paragraphs to read in full as follows:
“If the Securities of any series
provide for the payment of Additional Amount and the Company becomes aware that any deduction or withholding for or on account of any
tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge set forth or provided for in the Securities of such series shall be required with respect
to payments on such Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee and each Paying Agent on a date that is at least 30 days
prior to the date such deduction or withholding will be required (unless the obligation to deduct or withhold such taxes, assessments,
duties or other governmental charges arises less than 30 days prior to that date that such deduction or withholding will be required,
in which case the Company shall notify the Trustee and each Paying Agent promptly after the Company becomes aware that such requirement
has arisen) an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such deduction or withholding for or on account of any such taxes, duties,
assessments or other governmental charges will be required and specifying by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on or
deducted from such payments to the Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the
case may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as applicable
shall be entitled (1) to assume that no such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities of such series until such time as it shall
have received an Officers’ Certificate advising otherwise and (2) to make all payments of principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, the Securities of such series and related coupons without withholding
or deductions until otherwise advised.”
“If
the Securities of any series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts and if, at the time of deposit of any funds or Government
Obligations as contemplated by Section 401 or Section 1404 of this Indenture in connection with the satisfaction and discharge,
defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Securities of such series, the Company is required, or is aware that it will be required, to
pay Additional Amounts in respect of any principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, the Securities
of such series, then the funds and, if applicable, Government Securities so deposited must also be sufficient to pay and discharge such
Additional Amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities
of such series.”
(s) The
first sentence of Section 1104 of the Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “30 days” with “15 days”.
(t) Clause (10) of
the third paragraph of Section 1104 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:
“(10) the ISIN number,
CUSIP number and Common Code of such Securities, if any; and”.
(u) Article One
of the Indenture is hereby supplemented by adding a new Section 115 and a new Section 116, which shall appear in the following
order immediately after Section 114 of the Indenture and shall read in full as follows:
“SECTION 115. ELECTRONIC
SIGNATURES; CORPORATE SEAL
“The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Indenture shall include images of manually executed signatures
transmitted by facsimile, email or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf,” “tif” or “jpg”)
and, except as otherwise set forth in the proviso to the last sentence of this Section 115, electronic signatures (including, without
limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronically transmitted signatures, electronic signatures and electronic records (including,
without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall
be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature that is delivered physically or use of a paper-based
record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any
state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limitation to the foregoing and anything
in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject, however, to the proviso to this sentence, (a) any Security, supplemental
indenture, Officers’ Certificate, Company Order, Company Request, Opinion of Counsel or other opinion of counsel, instrument, agreement
or other document delivered pursuant to this Indenture may be executed, attested and transmitted by any of the foregoing electronic means
and formats and (b) all references in Section 303 or elsewhere in this Indenture to the execution, attestation or authentication

notwithstanding the foregoing, no Security, coupon, Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 201, 301 or 303 of
this Indenture, Company Order delivered pursuant to Section 303 of this Indenture or supplemental indenture may be executed or attested
by DocuSign, AdobeSign or other electronic signature and no certificate of authentication on any Security may be executed by DocuSign,
AdobeSign or other electronic signature and, as provided in the last paragraph of Section 303 of the Indenture, each certificate
of authentication must be executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory.
“SECTION 116. ELECTRONIC
INSTRUCTIONS
“The Trustee shall have the right
to accept and act upon instructions from the Company, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant
to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means (as defined below); provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee
an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Relevant Officers”) and containing
specimen signatures of such Relevant Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be
added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee
in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling
in the absence of negligence or bad faith. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of
the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent
by a Relevant Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Relevant Officer. The
Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Relevant Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and
all Relevant Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords
and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising
directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding that such directions
conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction, other than losses, costs or expenses arising from the Trustee’s
negligence or bad faith. The Company agrees: (i) to assume (in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee)
all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the
Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed
of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more
secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if
any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to the Trustee a commercially reasonable degree of protection
in light of its particular needs and circumstances ; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or
unauthorized use of the security procedures.
“As used in this Section 116,
"Electronic Means" shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission
containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified
by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.
“The foregoing provisions of this
Section 116 shall not limit the provisions of Section 115 but are subject to the prohibition on the use of DocuSign, AdobeSign
or other electronic signatures under the circumstances set forth in Section 115.”
(30) The
first sentence of Section 1104 of the Indenture is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “30 days” with “10
days”; provided that the foregoing amendment shall be applicable only with respect to the Securities of such series and shall only
be effective for so long as any of the Securities of such series is outstanding.
(31) Section 501(5) of
the Indenture is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following, provided that such amendment shall only be applicable
with respect to the Securities of such series and shall only be effective for so long as any of the Securities of such series is outstanding:
“ (5) default
under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including
obligations under leases required to be capitalized on the balance sheet of the lessee under generally accepted accounting principles,
but not including any indebtedness or obligations for which recourse is limited to property purchased) in an aggregate principal amount
in excess of $200,000,000 or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured
or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including such leases, but not including such
indebtedness or obligations for which recourse is limited to property purchased) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $200,000,000,
whether such indebtedness exists on the date of this Indenture or shall thereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in such
indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable or which
default shall have resulted in such obligations being accelerated, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, provided,
however, that for so long as any Securities issued pursuant to this Indenture are outstanding that contain a reference to a dollar amount
that is less than $200,000,000 in this clause (5) (a “Reduced Cross Default Threshold”), the references to $200,000,000
above, in each case, in this clause (5) is replaced by the lowest Reduced Cross Default Threshold reflected in any Securities issued
pursuant to this Indenture that are outstanding at that time; or”
(32) Anything
in the Indenture, the Form of Security or this Annex A-2 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any conflict between the
terms set forth in the Form of Security and the terms set forth in this Annex A-2, the terms set forth in the Form of Security
shall govern, and in the event of any conflict between the terms set forth in the Form of Security or this Annex A-2, on the one
hand, and the terms set forth in the Indenture, on the other hand, the terms of the Form of Security or this Annex A-2, as applicable,
shall govern.

REALTY INCOME CORPORATION
5.000% NOTES DUE 2029
Realty Income Corporation, a
Maryland corporation (the “Company,” which term shall include any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of Pounds Sterling (as defined below) on October 15,
2029 (the “Final Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from and including September 4, 2024, or from and including
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually in arrears on October 15 of each year (each,
an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing October 15, 2024, at the rate of 5.000% per annum, until the entire principal
amount hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (as defined below) (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered in the Security Register applicable to the Notes at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined
below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether such Regular Record Date is a Business Day (as defined
below)). Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular
Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on a 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 any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Interest on the Notes will be computed as follows:
| (a) | where the Accrual Period (as defined below) is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period (as defined below) during which it
falls, on the basis of the number of days in the Accrual Period divided by the number of days in such Determination Period; and |
| (b) | where the Accrual Period is longer than one Determination Period, on the basis of the sum of: (1) the number of days in such
Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which it begins divided by the number of days in such Determination Period; and
(2) the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period divided by the number of days in such Determination
Period, |
where:
“Accrual Period” means the relevant period for
which interest is to be calculated; and
“Determination Period” means the period from and
including October 15 in any year to but excluding the next October 15.
If any principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts (as defined below), if any, in respect of, any of the Notes is not paid when due, then such
overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue premium, interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, shall
bear interest, until paid or until such payment is duly provided for, at the rate of 5.000% per annum.
If any Interest Payment Date,
the Final Maturity Date, any Redemption Date, any Maturity or any other date on which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, a Note becomes due and payable falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required
payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on such Interest Payment Date,
Final Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Maturity or other date on which any such amount becomes due and payable and no interest will accrue
on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Final Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Maturity or other
date on which any such amount becomes due and payable, as the case may be.
Except as provided in the next
paragraph and in the proviso to this sentence, all payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts,
if any, in respect of, the Notes will be made in GBP (as defined below); provided that if GBP is unavailable to the Company due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond its control, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars
until GBP is again available to the Company. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in GBP will be converted into Dollars
at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (or any successor thereto) as of the close of business
on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (or any
successor thereto) has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/GBP exchange rate published in The Wall
Street Journal (or any successor thereto) on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Any payment in respect
of the Notes so made in Dollars under such circumstances will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes under the Indenture.
Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.
The Notes may also be payable
in a currency other than GBP if (a) the Company effects defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes pursuant to Article Fourteen
of the Indenture and (b) thereafter a Conversion Event occurs with respect to GBP and shall be continuing, all as more fully provided
in Section 1405 of the Indenture.
If this Note is a Global Security,
all payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, this Note will be made
by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee. If this Note is not a Global Security
(a “Certificated Note”), payments of interest on this Note may be made, at the Company’s option, by mailing a check
to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such address appears in the Security Register for the Notes, or by wire transfer to
an account maintained by the payee, all on the terms set forth in the Indenture; provided, however, that a Holder of £4.0 million
or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes will be entitled to receive payments of interest due on any Interest Payment
Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by such Holder so long as such Holder has given appropriate
wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment
Date. Any such wire transfer instructions will remain in effect until revoked by such Holder or until such Person ceases to be a Holder
of £4.0 million or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes.
Payments of principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, Certificated Notes that are due and payable on the Final
Maturity Date, any Redemption Date, any Maturity or any other date on which principal of such Notes is due and payable will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts specified by the Holders thereof, so long as such Holders have given appropriate
wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent, against surrender of such Notes to the Trustee or a Paying Agent; provided
that installments of interest on Certificated Notes that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such
Final Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Maturity or other date on which principal of such Notes is payable will be paid in the manner described
in the preceding paragraph to the Persons who were the Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) registered as such
at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the terms and provisions of the Notes and the Indenture.
This Note is one of a duly authorized
issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued as a series of Securities under an indenture dated
as of October 28, 1998 (herein called, together with all indentures supplemental thereto, the “Indenture”), between the
Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (successor trustee to The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee,”
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Notes), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Note is one of the duly authorized series designated as the “5.000% Notes due 2029.” All terms used in this Note which
are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Optional Redemption
Prior to August 15, 2029
(the “Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the option of the Company
at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:
(a) 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and
(b) the sum
of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest
accrued to the applicable Redemption Date), assuming that the Notes matured and that accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes was payable
on the Par Call Date, discounted to such Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate
(as defined below) plus 25 basis points,
plus, in the case of both clauses (a) and
(b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to such Redemption Date.
On and after the Par Call Date,
the Notes may be redeemed at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being
redeemed to the applicable Redemption Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
installments of interest on Notes whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to a Redemption Date for the Notes will be payable to the Persons
who were the Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant
Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture.
“Comparable
Government Bond Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, 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 bank selected by the Company.
“Comparable
Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent
investment bank selected by Company, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the Par Call Date or, if such independent
investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other United Kingdom government bond as such
independent investment bank may, with the advice of the three brokers of, and/or market makers in, United Kingdom government bonds selected
by the Company, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.
Redemption for Changes in Taxes
If (1)(a) as a result of
any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of the United States (as defined
below) or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”),
or any change in, or amendment to, any official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties,
regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published
administrative practice), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after August 27, 2024, the Company becomes or will become
obligated to pay any Additional Amounts or (b) any act is taken by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on or after August 27, 2024,
whether or not such act is taken with respect to the Company or any affiliate of the Company, that results in a substantial probability
that the Company will or may be required to pay any Additional Amounts, and (2) the Company determines, in its business judgment,
that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to it, including by making payments
through a different Paying Agent (provided that such reasonable measures do not include substitution of another entity as the obligor
under the Notes), then the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the applicable Redemption Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to a Redemption Date for the Notes will be payable
to the Persons who were the Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) registered as such at the close of business
on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture. No redemption pursuant to this paragraph
may be made unless the Company has received a written opinion of independent counsel to the effect that, as a result of such change or
amendment the Company has become or will become obligated to pay, or that such act taken by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction has resulted
in a substantial probability that the Company will or may be required to pay, any Additional Amounts, and the Company shall have delivered
to the Trustee such legal opinion together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that, based on such opinion, the Company is entitled
to redeem the Notes pursuant to the provisions described in this paragraph and the other provisions of the Notes and the Indenture. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such Officers’ Certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and
satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above in this paragraph, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the
Holders of the Notes.
As used in this Note, the term
“United States” means the United States of America (including the states and the District of Columbia), its territories, its
possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction.
Notice of Redemption
Notice of any redemption by
the Company will be transmitted at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date to the Holders of Notes
(or portions of Notes) to be redeemed.
Payment of Additional Amounts
All payments of principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of
any present or future tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge of whatsoever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed
by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law or the official interpretation
or administration thereof.
In the event that any withholding
or deduction from or on any payments on or in respect of the Notes for or on account of any Taxes is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction,
the Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay, as additional interest on the Notes, such additional
amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by each holder of a Note that is not a United States Person (as defined
below) of such amounts (after all such withholding or deduction, including from or on any Additional Amounts) as would have been received
by such holder had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Company will not be required, however, to make any payment of Additional
Amounts for or on account of:
(1) any Taxes that are imposed or
withheld by reason of a holder of Notes (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such Note) (or a fiduciary, settlor,
beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a Person holding a
power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder) being considered as:
(a) being or having been present
or engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;
(b) having a current or former
relationship with the United States, including a relationship as a citizen or resident thereof;
(c) being or having been a foreign
or domestic personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United
States or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;
(d) being or having been a “10
percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), or any successor provision;
(e) being a controlled foreign
corporation that is related to the Company within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code or any successor provision; or
(f) being or having been a bank
receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or any successor provision;
(2) any holder that is not the sole
beneficial owner of the Note, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary, limited liability company or partnership, but only to the
extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability
company would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received
directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;
(3) any Taxes that are imposed or
withheld by reason of the failure to (a) comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning
the nationality, residence, identity or connection with a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of the holder or beneficial owner of such Note,
if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption from
such Taxes (including the submission, if applicable, of a United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8 (with
any required attachments)) or (b) comply with any information gathering and reporting requirements or to take any similar action
(including entering into any agreement with the IRS), in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum available exemption from withholding
by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that is available to payments received by or on behalf of the holder or beneficial owner;
(4) any Taxes that are imposed otherwise
than by withholding from the payment;
(5) any Taxes that are imposed or
withheld by reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days
after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
(6) any estate, inheritance, gift,
sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax or a similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;
(7) any Taxes required to be withheld
by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, if such payment can be made without
such withholding by any other Paying Agent;
(8) any Taxes that are imposed or
levied by reason of the presentation (where presentation is required in order to receive payment) of such Notes for payment on a date
more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable, except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner
thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;
(9) any backup withholding or any
Taxes imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any successor provisions thereto), any current or future regulations or
official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code (or any successor provision
thereto), or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered
into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code (or any successor thereto); or
(10) any combination of any items
(1) through (9).
Except as specifically provided
under this caption “Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to
any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
on any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, the Notes.
If the Company becomes aware
that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee and each Paying Agent on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay
Additional Amounts arises less than 30 days prior to that payment date, in which case the Company shall notify the Trustee and each Paying
Agent promptly after the Company becomes aware that such obligation has arisen) an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that Additional
Amounts will be payable and the amount to be so payable. The Officers’ Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably
necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee and each Paying
Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.
As used in this Note, the term
“United States Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the
United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States Person under any applicable
U.S. Treasury Regulations), any estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source,
or any trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust or one or
more United States fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
Except as otherwise provided
in the proviso to this sentence, whenever there is mentioned, in any context, in the Notes the payment of principal of, or premium, if
any, or interest on, or any other amounts payable in respect of, any Note or Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of
the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to the terms of the Notes or the Indenture, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts anywhere in the Notes shall
not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts elsewhere in the Notes where such express mention is not made; provided that, notwithstanding
the foregoing and also notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, because, as set forth above under this caption “Payment
of Additional Amounts,” the Company will pay Additional Amounts, if any, as additional interest on the Notes, the references to
“principal” and “premium” appearing in clause (2) of the first paragraph of Section 501, clause (1)(B) of
the second paragraph of Section 502 and clause (2) of the first paragraph of Section 503 of the Indenture shall not include
any Additional Amounts that may be payable in respect of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes, and instead the references
to Additional Amounts appearing in clause (1) of the first paragraph of Section 501, clause (1)(A) of the second paragraph
of Section 502 and clause (1) of the first paragraph of Section 503 of the Indenture shall include all Additional Amounts
payable in respect of the Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Amounts payable in respect of principal of, or premium, if
any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, the Notes).
Notwithstanding any discharge
of the Indenture with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 401 of the Indenture or any defeasance or covenant defeasance with
respect to the Notes pursuant to Article Fourteen of the Indenture, and without limitation to any of the provisions of the Indenture
which, as provided in Section 401 or Article Fourteen, as applicable, of the Indenture shall survive any such discharge, defeasance
or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, the provisions set forth under this caption “Payment of Additional Amounts” (including,
without limitation, the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts) shall survive any such discharge, defeasance or covenant
defeasance, as the case may be, and remain in full force and effect and shall also survive any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner
of its Notes or its beneficial interest in Global Securities.
Defeasance; Covenant Defeasance
The Indenture contains provisions
for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on the Notes and (b) certain restrictive covenants
and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Note; provided that, as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph and
in the Indenture, certain provisions of the Notes and the Indenture will survive any such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case
may be, and remain in full force and effect.
Additional Covenants
In addition to the covenants
of the Company contained in the Indenture and elsewhere in this Note, the Company makes the following covenants with respect to, and for
the benefit of the Holders of, the Notes:
Limitation
on Incurrence of Total Debt. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany
Debt, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a
pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined
in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (i) the Company’s Total Assets as of the end of the latest fiscal
quarter covered in the Company’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 required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the
Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) the increase, if any, in Total Assets from the end of such quarter
including, without limitation, any increase in Total Assets caused by the application of the proceeds of such additional Debt (such increase
together with the Company’s Total Assets are referred to as the “Adjusted Total Assets”).
Limitation
on Incurrence of Secured Debt. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt, other than
Intercompany Debt, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds
therefrom on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on
a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 40% of the Company’s Adjusted Total Assets.
Debt
Service Coverage. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany Debt,
if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service Charge for the period consisting of the four
consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred is less than 1.5 to
1.0, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated
on the assumption that (i) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of
such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom (including to refinance other Debt since the first day of such
four-quarter period) had occurred on the first day of such period, (ii) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of such period (except that,
in making such 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 (iii) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by
the Company or any Subsidiary of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, including, without limitation,
by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition had occurred on 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 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 Charge, the interest rate on such Debt
shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate which would have been in effect during the entire such four-quarter
period had been the applicable rate for the entire such period.
Maintenance
of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Company will maintain at all times Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries, computed on a consolidated basis in
accordance with GAAP.

If an Event of Default with
respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with

As provided in and subject to
the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event

not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, this Note on or after the respective due dates therefor.
The Indenture permits, with
certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the
rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders

less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes to waive, in certain circumstances, on behalf of all Holders
of the Notes, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note
shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor 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, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, this Note at the times, places
and rate, and in the amounts, coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender
of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in Chicago, Illinois and in such other places where
the Company may from time to time maintain an office or agency for the registration of transfer and exchange of Notes, duly endorsed by,
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar for the Notes duly executed
by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations
and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes
of this series of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
The Notes of this series are
issuable only in registered form, without interest coupons, in denominations of £100,000 and integral multiples of £1,000
in excess thereof. No Note shall be redeemed in part unless the unredeemed principal amount of such Note is an authorized denomination
as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of
this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for
the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, this Note, or for any
claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto,
against any past, present or future stockholder, employee, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly
or through the Company or any successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.

REALTY INCOME CORPORATION
5.250% NOTES DUE 2041
Realty Income Corporation, a
Maryland corporation (the “Company,” which term shall include any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of Pounds Sterling (as defined below) on September 4,
2041 (the “Final Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from and including September 4, 2024, or from and including
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, annually in arrears on September 4 of each year (each,
an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing September 4, 2025, at the rate of 5.250% per annum, until the entire principal
amount hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (as defined below) (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered in the Security Register applicable to the Notes at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined
below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether such Regular Record Date is a Business Day (as defined
below)). Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular
Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on a 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 any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the number of days
in the Accrual Period divided by the number of days in the Interest Period in which the Accrual Period falls, where “Accrual Period”
means the relevant period for which interest is to be calculated and “Interest Period” means the period from and including
September 4 in any year to but excluding the next September 4. If any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional
Amounts (as defined below), if any, in respect of, any of the Notes is not paid when due, then such overdue principal and, to the extent
permitted by law, such overdue premium, interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, shall bear interest, until paid or until such
payment is duly provided for, at the rate of 5.250% per annum.
If any Interest Payment Date,
the Final Maturity Date, any Redemption Date, any Maturity or any other date on which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest
on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, a Note becomes due and payable falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required
payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on such Interest Payment Date,
Final Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Maturity or other date on which any such amount becomes due and payable and no interest will accrue
on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Final Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Maturity or other
date on which any such amount becomes due and payable, as the case may be.
Except as provided in the next
paragraph and in the proviso to this sentence, all payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts,
if any, in respect of, the Notes will be made in GBP (as defined below); provided that if GBP is unavailable to the Company due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond its control, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in Dollars
until GBP is again available to the Company. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in GBP will be converted into Dollars
at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (or any successor thereto) as of the close of business
on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (or any
successor thereto) has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent Dollar/GBP exchange rate published in The Wall
Street Journal (or any successor thereto) on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date. Any payment in respect
of the Notes so made in Dollars under such circumstances will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes under the Indenture.
Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.
The Notes may also be payable
in a currency other than GBP if (a) the Company effects defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes pursuant to Article Fourteen
of the Indenture and (b) thereafter a Conversion Event occurs with respect to GBP and shall be continuing, all as more fully provided
in Section 1405 of the Indenture.
If this Note is a Global Security,
all payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, this Note will be made
by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee. If this Note is not a Global Security
(a “Certificated Note”), payments of interest on this Note may be made, at the Company’s option, by mailing a check
to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such address appears in the Security Register for the Notes, or by wire transfer to
an account maintained by the payee, all on the terms set forth in the Indenture; provided, however, that a Holder of £4.0 million
or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes will be entitled to receive payments of interest due on any Interest Payment
Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by such Holder so long as such Holder has given appropriate
wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment
Date. Any such wire transfer instructions will remain in effect until revoked by such Holder or until such Person ceases to be a Holder
of £4.0 million or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes.
Payments of principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, Certificated Notes that are due and payable on the Final
Maturity Date, any Redemption Date, any Maturity or any other date on which principal of such Notes is due and payable will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts specified by the Holders thereof, so long as such Holders have given appropriate
wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent, against surrender of such Notes to the Trustee or a Paying Agent; provided
that installments of interest on Certificated Notes that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such
Final Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Maturity or other date on which principal of such Notes is payable will be paid in the manner described
in the preceding paragraph to the Persons who were the Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) registered as such
at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the terms and provisions of the Notes and the Indenture.
This Note is one of a duly authorized
issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued as a series of Securities under an indenture dated
as of October 28, 1998 (herein called, together with all indentures supplemental thereto, the “Indenture”), between the
Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (successor trustee to The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee,”
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Notes), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Note is one of the duly authorized series designated as the “5.250% Notes due 2041.” All terms used in this Note which
are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Optional Redemption
Prior to June 4, 2041 (the
“Par Call Date”), the Notes may be redeemed at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the option of the Company
at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of:
(a) 100% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and
(b) the sum
of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest
accrued to the applicable Redemption Date), assuming that the Notes matured and that accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes was payable
on the Par Call Date, discounted to such Redemption Date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate
(as defined below) plus 20 basis points,
plus, in the case of both clauses (a) and
(b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to such Redemption Date.
On and after the Par Call Date,
the Notes may be redeemed at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being
redeemed to the applicable Redemption Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
installments of interest on Notes whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to a Redemption Date for the Notes will be payable to the Persons
who were the Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant
Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture.
“Comparable
Government Bond Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, 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 bank selected by the Company.
“Comparable
Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent
investment bank selected by Company, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the Par Call Date or, if such independent
investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other United Kingdom government bond as such
independent investment bank may, with the advice of the three brokers of, and/or market makers in, United Kingdom government bonds selected
by the Company, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.
Redemption for Changes in Taxes
If (1)(a) as a result of
any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of the United States (as defined
below) or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”),
or any change in, or amendment to, any official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties,
regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published
administrative practice), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after August 27, 2024, the Company becomes or will become
obligated to pay any Additional Amounts or (b) any act is taken by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on or after August 27, 2024,
whether or not such act is taken with respect to the Company or any affiliate of the Company, that results in a substantial probability
that the Company will or may be required to pay any Additional Amounts, and (2) the Company determines, in its business judgment,
that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to it, including by making payments
through a different Paying Agent (provided that such reasonable measures do not include substitution of another entity as the obligor
under the Notes), then the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the applicable Redemption Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to a Redemption Date for the Notes will be payable
to the Persons who were the Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) registered as such at the close of business
on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture. No redemption pursuant to this paragraph
may be made unless the Company has received a written opinion of independent counsel to the effect that, as a result of such change or
amendment the Company has become or will become obligated to pay, or that such act taken by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction has resulted
in a substantial probability that the Company will or may be required to pay, any Additional Amounts, and the Company shall have delivered
to the Trustee such legal opinion together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that, based on such opinion, the Company is entitled
to redeem the Notes pursuant to the provisions described in this paragraph and the other provisions of the Notes and the Indenture. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such Officers’ Certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and
satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above in this paragraph, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the
Holders of the Notes.
As used in this Note, the term
“United States” means the United States of America (including the states and the District of Columbia), its territories, its
possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction.
Notice of Redemption
Notice of any redemption by
the Company will be transmitted at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date to the Holders of Notes
(or portions of Notes) to be redeemed.
Payment of Additional Amounts
All payments of principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of
any present or future tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge of whatsoever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed
by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law or the official interpretation
or administration thereof.
In the event that any withholding
or deduction from or on any payments on or in respect of the Notes for or on account of any Taxes is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction,
the Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay, as additional interest on the Notes, such additional
amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by each holder of a Note that is not a United States Person (as defined
below) of such amounts (after all such withholding or deduction, including from or on any Additional Amounts) as would have been received
by such holder had no such withholding or deduction been required. The Company will not be required, however, to make any payment of Additional
Amounts for or on account of:
(1) any Taxes that are imposed or
withheld by reason of a holder of Notes (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such Note) (or a fiduciary, settlor,
beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a Person holding a
power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder) being considered as:
(a) being or having been present
or engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;
(b) having a current or former
relationship with the United States, including a relationship as a citizen or resident thereof;
(c) being or having been a foreign
or domestic personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United
States or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;
(d) being or having been a “10
percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”), or any successor provision;
(e) being a controlled foreign
corporation that is related to the Company within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code or any successor provision; or
(f) being or having been a bank
receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or any successor provision;
(2) any holder that is not the sole
beneficial owner of the Note, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary, limited liability company or partnership, but only to the
extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability
company would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received
directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;
(3) any Taxes that are imposed or
withheld by reason of the failure to (a) comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning
the nationality, residence, identity or connection with a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of the holder or beneficial owner of such Note,
if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption from
such Taxes (including the submission, if applicable, of a United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8 (with
any required attachments)) or (b) comply with any information gathering and reporting requirements or to take any similar action
(including entering into any agreement with the IRS), in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum available exemption from withholding
by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that is available to payments received by or on behalf of the holder or beneficial owner;
(4) any Taxes that are imposed otherwise
than by withholding from the payment;
(5) any Taxes that are imposed or
withheld by reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days
after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
(6) any estate, inheritance, gift,
sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax or a similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;
(7) any Taxes required to be withheld
by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, if such payment can be made without
such withholding by any other Paying Agent;
(8) any Taxes that are imposed or
levied by reason of the presentation (where presentation is required in order to receive payment) of such Notes for payment on a date
more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable, except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner
thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;
(9) any backup withholding or any
Taxes imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any successor provisions thereto), any current or future regulations or
official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code (or any successor provision
thereto), or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered
into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code (or any successor thereto); or
(10) any combination of any items
(1) through (9).
Except as specifically provided
under this caption “Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Company shall not be required to make any payment with respect to
any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
on any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, the Notes.
If the Company becomes aware
that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee and each Paying Agent on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay
Additional Amounts arises less than 30 days prior to that payment date, in which case the Company shall notify the Trustee and each Paying
Agent promptly after the Company becomes aware that such obligation has arisen) an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that Additional
Amounts will be payable and the amount to be so payable. The Officers’ Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably
necessary to enable the Paying Agents to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee and each Paying
Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.
As used in this Note, the term
“United States Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the
United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States Person under any applicable
U.S. Treasury Regulations), any estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source,
or any trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust or one or
more United States fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
Except as otherwise provided
in the proviso to this sentence, whenever there is mentioned, in any context, in the Notes the payment of principal of, or premium, if
any, or interest on, or any other amounts payable in respect of, any Note or Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of
the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to the terms of the Notes or the Indenture, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts anywhere in the Notes shall
not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts elsewhere in the Notes where such express mention is not made; provided that, notwithstanding
the foregoing and also notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, because, as set forth above under this caption “Payment
of Additional Amounts,” the Company will pay Additional Amounts, if any, as additional interest on the Notes, the references to
“principal” and “premium” appearing in clause (2) of the first paragraph of Section 501, clause (1)(B) of
the second paragraph of Section 502 and clause (2) of the first paragraph of Section 503 of the Indenture shall not include
any Additional Amounts that may be payable in respect of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes, and instead the references
to Additional Amounts appearing in clause (1) of the first paragraph of Section 501, clause (1)(A) of the second paragraph
of Section 502 and clause (1) of the first paragraph of Section 503 of the Indenture shall include all Additional Amounts
payable in respect of the Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Amounts payable in respect of principal of, or premium, if
any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, the Notes).
Notwithstanding any discharge
of the Indenture with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 401 of the Indenture or any defeasance or covenant defeasance with
respect to the Notes pursuant to Article Fourteen of the Indenture, and without limitation to any of the provisions of the Indenture
which, as provided in Section 401 or Article Fourteen, as applicable, of the Indenture shall survive any such discharge, defeasance
or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, the provisions set forth under this caption “Payment of Additional Amounts” (including,
without limitation, the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts) shall survive any such discharge, defeasance or covenant
defeasance, as the case may be, and remain in full force and effect and shall also survive any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner
of its Notes or its beneficial interest in Global Securities.
Defeasance; Covenant Defeasance
The Indenture contains provisions
for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on the Notes and (b) certain restrictive covenants
and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Note; provided that, as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph and
in the Indenture, certain provisions of the Notes and the Indenture will survive any such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case
may be, and remain in full force and effect.
Additional Covenants
In addition to the covenants
of the Company contained in the Indenture and elsewhere in this Note, the Company makes the following covenants with respect to, and for
the benefit of the Holders of, the Notes:
Limitation
on Incurrence of Total Debt. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany
Debt, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a
pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined
in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (i) the Company’s Total Assets as of the end of the latest fiscal
quarter covered in the Company’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 required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the
Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) the increase, if any, in Total Assets from the end of such quarter
including, without limitation, any increase in Total Assets caused by the application of the proceeds of such additional Debt (such increase
together with the Company’s Total Assets are referred to as the “Adjusted Total Assets”).
Limitation
on Incurrence of Secured Debt. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt, other than
Intercompany Debt, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds
therefrom on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on
a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 40% of the Company’s Adjusted Total Assets.
Debt
Service Coverage. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany Debt,
if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service Charge for the period consisting of the four
consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred is less than 1.5 to
1.0, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated
on the assumption that (i) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of
such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom (including to refinance other Debt since the first day of such
four-quarter period) had occurred on the first day of such period, (ii) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of such period (except that,
in making such 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 (iii) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by
the Company or any Subsidiary of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, including, without limitation,
by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition had occurred on 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 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 Charge, the interest rate on such Debt
shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate which would have been in effect during the entire such four-quarter
period had been the applicable rate for the entire such period.
Maintenance
of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Company will maintain at all times Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries, computed on a consolidated basis in
accordance with GAAP.

We
have served as Maryland counsel to Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with certain
matters of Maryland law arising out of the registration, sale and issuance by the Company of (i) £350,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of the Company’s 5.000% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and (ii) £350,000,000 aggregate

Principal Amount of 5.000% Notes due 2029 and £350,000,000 Aggregate Principal Amount of 5.250% Notes due 2041 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as special counsel to Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection
with the issuance of £350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.000% Notes due 2029 (the “2029
Notes”) and £350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.250% Notes due 2041 (the “2041
Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “Securities”), under
an indenture dated as of October 28, 1998 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New
York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (the “Trustee”) and an officers’ certificate
dated as of September 4, 2024 establishing the respective forms and terms of the Securities pursuant to Sections 201, 301 and 303
of the Base Indenture (in each case, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”),
pursuant to (i) a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 16, 2024 (File No. 333-277150)
(the “Registration Statement”), (ii) a base prospectus dated February 16, 2024 (the “Base
Prospectus”), (iii) the “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 and Rule 405
under the Act) filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the Act on August 27, 2024 (the “Specified
IFWP”), (iv) a final prospectus supplement dated August 27, 2024 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement,”
and together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), and (v) a purchase agreement dated August 27,
2024 by and among Barclays Bank PLC, BNP Paribas, Merrill Lynch International, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities
International Limited, the other underwriters party thereto, and the Company (the “Purchase Agreement”). This
opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion
is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, the Specified IFWP, or the Prospectus,

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions
of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon the certificates and other
assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters.
We are opining herein as to the internal laws of
the State of New York, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any
other jurisdiction, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Various issues pertaining
to the laws of the State of Maryland are addressed in the opinion of Venable LLP, separately provided to you. We express no opinion with
respect to those matters, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with
your consent, assumed such elements.
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters
set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Securities have been duly executed, issued, and authenticated
and delivered by or on behalf of the Company against delivery and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered
against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Securities will be legally valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
Our opinions are subject to: (i) the effect
of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting
the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness,
good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain
circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect
to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion as to (a) any
provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to
the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction,
venue, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (c) the waiver of rights or defenses contained in the Indenture; (d) any provision
requiring the payment of attorneys’ fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (e) any provision permitting,
upon acceleration of the Securities, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute
unearned interest thereon; (f) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary
requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (g) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated
rights, (h) covenants not to compete; (i) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (j) provisions
authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (k) grants of setoff rights; (l) proxies, powers and trusts;
and (m) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property.
