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 each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.

In addition to the covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture, 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 (the “Exchange Act”), 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.

(c) if the Company obtains only one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation for such Redemption Date, that Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.

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 Dollars on November 1, 2025, and to pay interest thereon from and including November 1, 2021, or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year (the “Interest Payment Dates”), commencing May 1, 2022, at the rate of 4.625% 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 April 15 and October 15 (the “Regular Record Dates”), as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether the Regular Record Date is a Business Day. 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 of this series 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 will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Any such wire transfer instructions will remain in effect until revoked by such Holder or until such Person ceases to be a Holder of $5 million or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes.

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 “4.625% Notes due 2025.” 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.

(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 a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate 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 will be payable to 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.
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 each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
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.
In addition to the covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture, 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 (the “Exchange Act”), 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.

(b) if such release (or any successor publication or release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, information shall be deemed “published” by the Federal Reserve if it is made available to the public generally, whether in physical form, on the Federal Reserve’s website or by other means. The Treasury Rate with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes shall be calculated by the Company on the third New York Business Day preceding the date on which notice of such redemption is given to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed as provided in the Indenture.

For purposes of this definition, the value of each property shall be equal to the purchase price or cost of each such property and the value of any stock subject to any encumbrance shall be determined by reference to the value of the properties owned by the issuer of such stock as aforesaid.

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 of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, 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 of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not 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, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the 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 any Place of Payment for the 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 $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, 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, or premium, if any, or the interest on 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.

THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM AS AFORESAID, MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE.
UNLESS THIS SECURITY IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”), 55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY SUCH SECURITY ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO., OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL, SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.
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 Dollars on June 1, 2026, and to pay interest thereon from and including June 1, 2021, or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year (the “Interest Payment Dates”), commencing December 1, 2021 at the rate of 4.875% 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 May 15 and November 15 (the “Regular Record Dates”), as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether the Regular Record Date is a Business Day. 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 of this series 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 will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes is not paid when due, then such overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue premium or interest, as the case may be, shall bear interest, until paid or until such payment is duly provided for, at the rate of 4.875% per annum.
1
Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note will be made by the Company in Dollars. If this Note is a Global Security, all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest 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 located in the United States. If this Note is not a Global Security (a “Certificated Note”), payments of interest on this Note may, at the Company’s option, be made 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 located in the United States, all on the terms set forth in the Indenture; provided, however, that a Holder of $5 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 in the United States so long as such Holder has given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes at least 15 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 $5 million or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes.
Payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on Certificated Notes that are due and payable on the Final Maturity Date (as defined below), any Redemption Date 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 maintained by the Holders thereof in the United States, so long as such Holders have given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes, against surrender of such Notes to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes; 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 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 Dates according to their terms and the provisions of 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 “4.875% Notes due 2026.” 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.
Prior to March 1, 2026 (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 a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 50 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 will be payable to 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.
Notice of any redemption by the Company will be transmitted at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
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.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Notes, each Holder of such Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer by the Company (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth below, except to the extent the Company has delivered a notice of redemption to the Holders of such Notes as described above that is irrevocable (except to the extent conditioned on the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder of the Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute, or are expected to constitute, the Change of Control Triggering Event, and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”) specified in the notice and stating: (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the offer to repurchase upon Change of Control and Ratings Decline provision of the Notes and that all Notes tendered into the Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days after the date such notice is mailed (or in the case of Global Securities, given pursuant to applicable DTC procedures); (3) that any Note not tendered and accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have the Notes purchased; and (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2) deposit with the paying agent no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Change of Control Payment Date an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.
The Paying Agent shall promptly remit to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of an anticipated Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event.
If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of this series validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (provided that as of the date of such notice not more than 30 days has passed since such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above), to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the date of redemption.
The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control and Ratings Decline provision of the Notes, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control and Ratings Decline provision of the Notes by virtue of such conflict.

(2) the adoption by shareholders or partners of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of Parent or the Company;
(3) the consummation of any transaction (including any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other business combination transaction) the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in clause (1) of this definition of “Change of Control”), other than any holding company which owns 100% of the Voting Stock of Parent (so long as no Change of Control would otherwise have occurred in respect of the Voting Stock of such holding company), becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of Parent, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or

In determining whether the rating of the Notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories ((1) + and - for S&P; (2) 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; and (3) the equivalent gradations for another Rating Agency selected by the Company) shall be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P, a decline in a rating from BB+ to BB, or from BB- to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation).
“Rating Date” means the date which is the day immediately prior to the earlier of (1) a Change of Control or (2) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or of the intention by Parent or the Company to effect a Change of Control.
“Rating Decline” shall be deemed to occur if, within 90 days after public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies with respect to a Rating Category if such period exceeds 90 days), the rating of the Notes by each Rating Agency shall be decreased by one or more gradations to or within a Rating Category (including gradations within Rating Categories as well as between Rating Categories) as compared to the rating of the Notes on the Rating Date immediately preceding such Change of Control.

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 (the “Exchange Act”), 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.

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 Dollars on August 15, 2027, and to pay interest thereon from and including August 15, 2021, or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year (the “Interest Payment Dates”), commencing February 15, 2022, at the rate of 3.950% 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 February 1 and August 1 (the “Regular Record Dates”), as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether the Regular Record Date is a Business Day. 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 of this series 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 will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes is not paid when due, then such overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue premium or interest, as the case may be, shall bear interest, until paid or until such payment is duly provided for, at the rate of 3.950% per annum.

Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note will be made by the Company in Dollars. If this Note is a Global Security, all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest 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 located in the United States. If this Note is not a Global Security (a “Certificated Note”), payments of interest on this Note may, at the Company’s option, be made 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 located in the United States, all on the terms set forth in the Indenture; provided, however, that a Holder of $5 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 in the United States so long as such Holder has given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes at least 15 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 $5 million or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes.
Payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on Certificated Notes that are due and payable on the Final Maturity Date (as defined below), any Redemption Date 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 maintained by the Holders thereof in the United States, so long as such Holders have given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes, against surrender of such Notes to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes; 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 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 Dates according to their terms and the provisions of 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 “3.950% Notes due 2027.” 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.
Prior to May 15, 2027 (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 a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 30 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 will be payable to 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.
Notice of any redemption by the Company will be transmitted at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
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.
In addition to the covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture, 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 (the “Exchange Act”), 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.

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 Dollars on January 15, 2028, and to pay interest thereon from and including July 15, 2021, or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year (the “Interest Payment Dates”), commencing January 15, 2022, at the rate of 3.400% 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 January 1 and July 1 (the “Regular Record Dates”), as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether the Regular Record Date is a Business Day. 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 of this series 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 will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes is not paid when due, then such overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue premium or interest, as the case may be, shall bear interest, until paid or until such payment is duly provided for, at the rate of 3.400% per annum.

Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note will be made by the Company in Dollars. If this Note is a Global Security, all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest 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 located in the United States. If this Note is not a Global Security (a “Certificated Note”), payments of interest on this Note may, at the Company’s option, be made 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 located in the United States, all on the terms set forth in the Indenture; provided, however, that a Holder of $5 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 in the United States so long as such Holder has given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes at least 15 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 $5 million or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes.

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 “3.400% Notes due 2028.” 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.
Prior to November 15, 2027 (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 a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 45 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 will be payable to 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.
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 each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
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.
In addition to the covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture, 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 (the “Exchange Act”), 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.
Certain Definitions. As used herein, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:
“Annual Debt Service Charge” as of any date means the amount which is expensed in any 12-month period for interest on Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming that the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming that the Notes matured on the Par Call Date).
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes:
(a) if the Company obtains four or more Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or

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 June 1 and December 1 (the “Regular Record Dates”), as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether the Regular Record Date is a Business Day. 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 of this series 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.

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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable to 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.
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 each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
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.
In addition to the covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture, 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 (the “Exchange Act”), 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.

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 Dollars on December 15, 2029, and to pay interest thereon from and including June 15, 2021, or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (the “Interest Payment Dates”), commencing December 15, 2021, at the rate of 3.100% 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 June 1 and December 1 (the “Regular Record Dates”), as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether the Regular Record Date is a Business Day. 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 of this series 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 will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If this Note is a Global Security, all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest 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 located in the United States. If this Note is not a Global Security (a “Certificated Note”), payments of interest on this Note may, at the Company’s option, be made 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 located in the United States, all on the terms set forth in the Indenture; provided, however, that a Holder of $5 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 in the United States so long as such Holder has given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes at least 15 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 $5 million or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes.

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 “3.100% 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.

(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 a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate 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 will be payable to 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.
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 each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
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.
In addition to the covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture, 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 (the “Exchange Act”), 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.

(a) the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in, or available through, the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published at least weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) (or, in each case, any companion online data resource published at least weekly by the Federal Reserve) and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Par Call Date yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month), or
(b) if such release (or any successor publication or release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, information shall be deemed “published” by the Federal Reserve if it is made available to the public generally, whether in physical form, on the Federal Reserve’s website or by other means. The Treasury Rate with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes shall be calculated by the Company on the third New York Business Day preceding the date on which notice of such redemption is given to the Holders of the Notes to be redeemed as provided in the Indenture.
“Total Assets” as of any date means the sum of (i) Undepreciated Real Estate Assets and (ii) all other assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP (but excluding accounts receivable and intangibles).
“Total Unencumbered Assets” as of any date means Total Assets minus the value of any properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are encumbered by any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, security interest, trust deed, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, security agreement, or other encumbrance of any kind (other than those relating to Intercompany Debt), including the value of any stock of any Subsidiary that is so encumbered, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that, in determining Total Unencumbered Assets as a percentage of outstanding Unsecured Debt for purposes of the covenant set forth above under "Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets," all investments in any Person that is not consolidated with the Company for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP shall be excluded from Total Unencumbered Assets to the extent that such investment would otherwise have been included. For purposes of this definition, the value of each property shall be equal to the purchase price or cost of each such property and the value of any stock subject to any encumbrance shall be determined by reference to the value of the properties owned by the issuer of such stock as aforesaid.
“Undepreciated Real Estate Assets” as of any date means the amount of real estate assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on such date, before depreciation and amortization, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.
“Unsecured Debt” means Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary that is not Secured Debt.
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 the effect provided in the Indenture.
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 of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, 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 of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not 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, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the 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 any Place of Payment for the 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 $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, 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, or premium, if any, or the interest on 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.

THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM AS AFORESAID, MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE.
UNLESS THIS SECURITY IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”), 55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY SUCH SECURITY ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO., OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO.

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 Dollars on December 15, 2032, and to pay interest thereon from and including June 15, 2021, or from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (the “Interest Payment Dates”), commencing December 15, 2021, at the rate of 2.850% 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 June 1 and December 1 (the “Regular Record Dates”), as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether the Regular Record Date is a Business Day. 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 of this series 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 will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes is not paid when due, then such overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue premium or interest, as the case may be, shall bear interest, until paid or until such payment is duly provided for, at the rate of 2.850% per annum.

Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note will be made by the Company in Dollars. If this Note is a Global Security, all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest 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 located in the United States. If this Note is not a Global Security (a “Certificated Note”), payments of interest on this Note may, at the Company’s option, be made 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 located in the United States, all on the terms set forth in the Indenture; provided, however, that a Holder of $5 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 in the United States so long as such Holder has given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes at least 15 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 $5 million or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes.
Payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on Certificated Notes that are due and payable on the Final Maturity Date (as defined below), any Redemption Date 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 maintained by the Holders thereof in the United States, so long as such Holders have given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes, against surrender of such Notes to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the Notes; 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 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 Dates according to their terms and the provisions of 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 “2.850% Notes due 2032.” 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.
Prior to September 15, 2032 (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 a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 30 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 will be payable to 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.
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 each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.
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.
In addition to the covenants of the Company contained in the Indenture, 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 (the “Exchange Act”), 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) certain of its debt securities for certain debt securities of VEREIT Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“VEREIT”) and a subsidiary of VEREIT, Inc. (“VEREIT Parent”). The Exchange Offer shall consist of an offer to exchange (i) the Company’s 4.600% Notes due 2024 (the “New 2024 Notes”) for any and all of VEREIT’s outstanding 4.600% Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), (ii) the Company’s 4.625% Notes due 2025 (the “New 2025 Notes”) for any and all of VEREIT’s outstanding 4.625% Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), (iii) the Company’s 4.875% Notes due 2026 (the “New 2026 Notes”) for any and all of VEREIT’s outstanding 4.875% Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), (iv) the Company’s 3.950% Notes due 2027 (the “New 2027 Notes”) for any and all of VEREIT’s outstanding 3.950% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), (v) the Company’s 3.400% Notes due 2028 (the “New 3.400% 2028 Notes”) for any and all of VEREIT’s outstanding 3.400% Notes due 2028 (the “3.400% 2028 Notes”), (vi) the Company’s 2.200% Notes due 2028 (the “New 2.200% 2028 Notes”) for any and all of VEREIT’s outstanding 2.200% Notes due 2028 (the “2.200% 2028 Notes”), (vii) the Company’s 3.100% Notes due 2029 (the “New 2029 Notes”) for any and all of VEREIT’s outstanding 3.100% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and (viii) the Company’s 2.850% Notes due 2032 (the “New 2032 Notes,” and, together with the New 2024 Notes, the New 2025 Notes, the New 2026 Notes, the New 2027 Notes, the New 3.400% 2028 Notes, the New 2.200% 2028 Notes, the New 2029 Notes, the “New Notes” ) for any and all of VEREIT’s outstanding 2.850% Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes,” and, together with the 2024 Notes, the 2025 Notes, the 2026 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 3.400% 2028 Notes, the 2.200% 20208 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2032 Notes, the “Existing Target Notes”).

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 or related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the New Notes
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 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 New Notes have been duly executed, issued, and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered by or on behalf of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture against the due tender and delivery to the Trustee of the Existing Target Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes, the New Notes will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
Our opinion is 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 New Notes, 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.
With your consent, we have assumed for purposes of this opinion that (i) the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland, and has the corporate power and authority to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Indenture and the New Notes (collectively, the “Documents”); (ii) the New Notes have been duly authorized for issuance by all necessary corporate action by the Company; (iii) the Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, including the Company; (iv) the Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Company, enforceable against each of the parties thereto (other than the Company) in accordance with their respective terms; and (v) the status of the Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (a) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (b) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (c) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent we have specifically opined herein as to such matters with respect to the Company, the Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
We bring your attention to the fact that Latham & Watkins LLP attorneys rendering services in connection with the offering and their families own certain securities of the Company.
This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
