Upon the execution of this Indenture, and from time to time thereafter, Notes (including Exchange Notes) may be executed by MAALP and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Notes upon a written order of MAALP (an “Authentication Order”), such order signed on behalf of MAALP by one Officer of MAA, without any further action by MAALP hereunder.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture shall not exceed $154,235,000, except as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.08 hereof; provided that Exchange Notes may also be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

Section 2.02 Form of Notes.

Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, MAALP and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Custodian, the Depositary or as may be required for the Notes to be tradable on any market existing or developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

Except as provided in Section 2.06(b) hereof, beneficial owners of a Global Note shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Note

Interest shall be payable at the office of MAALP maintained by MAALP for such purposes in New York, New York, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. MAALP shall pay interest on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Note Register; provided, however, that a Holder of any Notes in certificated form in the aggregate principal amount of more than $2.0 million may request by written notice to MAALP that it pay interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Noteholder in such notice in which case MAALP may, at its option, pay interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account.

The term “Record Date” with respect to the Interest Payment Date shall mean June 1, 2014.

No other payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on an exchanged Note.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on June 15, 2014 (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Noteholder registered as such on the relevant Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by MAALP, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) MAALP may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. MAALP shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time MAALP shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of monies equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such monies when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.

Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2) of this Section 2.03.

(2) MAALP may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by MAALP to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.04 Execution of Notes.

The Notes shall be signed, in the name and on behalf of MAALP, manually or by facsimile or other electronic imaging means by an Officer of MAA. The Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes for issue under this Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by MAALP pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.08 hereof.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11 hereof), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by MAALP shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case any Officer of MAA who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer of MAA before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by MAALP, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of MAA, and any Note may be signed on behalf of MAALP by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers of MAA, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer of MAA.

Section 2.05 Note Registrar and Paying Agent.

While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. MAALP at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.

- 29 -

Section 2.10 CUSIP Numbers.

MAALP in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. MAALP will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

(b) MAALP shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by MAALP in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be redeemed).

In case MAALP shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, it shall fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than five (5) Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission), the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of MAALP, shall mail (or send by electronic transmission) or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) a notice of such redemption not fewer than thirty (30) calendar days nor more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided, that if MAALP makes such request of the Trustee, it shall, together with such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee; provided further that the text of the notice shall be prepared by MAALP. Such mailing shall be by first class mail (unless sent by electronic transmission). The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

- 30 -

Each such notice of redemption shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers, if any, of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption Price at which Notes are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, and (vi) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any). In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

Whenever any Notes are to be redeemed, MAALP will give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Date, together with an Officer’s Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed not fewer than thirty (30) calendar days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date.

On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, MAALP will deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if MAALP is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04 hereof) an amount of monies in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided, that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. MAALP shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price.

If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), on a pro rata basis or such other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate or is required by the Depositary. The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof.

Section 3.03 Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by MAALP.

If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless MAALP shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price, so long as Paying Agent holds funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, then (a) such Notes will cease to be outstanding on and after the Redemption Date, (b) interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and (c) the Holders of the Notes shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by MAALP at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

- 31 -

Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, MAALP shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of MAALP, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented.

Prior to the applicable Redemption Date, MAALP shall provide to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate that shall set forth the applicable Redemption Price and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon MAALP’s calculation of the Redemption Price. The Trustee shall provide such calculation to any Holder upon request.

Section 3.04 Sinking Fund.

There shall be no sinking fund provided for the Notes.

Section 4.09 Limitations on Incurrence of Debt.

(a) Limitation on Incurrence of Total Debt. MAALP will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of MAALP and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication):

(1) Adjusted Total Assets as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt;

(2) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable (or interests therein) acquired by MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those obtained by application of the proceeds of such additional Debt, and owned by MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date of incurrence of such additional Debt; and

(3) the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received by (or contributed to) MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter (to the extent that such proceeds were not used to acquire such real estate assets or mortgages receivable (or interests therein) or used to reduce Debt of MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries), including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt,

determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

For clarity, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Section 4.09(a), Debt of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged or consolidated with or into MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries or becomes a Subsidiary of MAALP shall be deemed to have been incurred by MAALP or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, on the date of such merger or consolidation or the date such Person becomes a Subsidiary of MAALP, as the case may be.

(b) Limitation on Incurrence of Secured Debt. MAALP will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt secured by a Lien upon any property or assets of MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries, whether owned at the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired (“Secured Debt”), if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of MAALP and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication):

(1) Adjusted Total Assets as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt;

- 36 -

determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

For clarity, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Section 4.09(b), Debt of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged or consolidated with or into MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries or becomes a Subsidiary of MAALP shall be deemed to have been incurred by MAALP or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, on the date of such merger or consolidation or the date such Person becomes a Subsidiary of MAALP, as the case may be.

(c) Ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual Debt Service Charge. MAALP will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service Charge for 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, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and to the application of the proceeds thereof, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and calculated on the assumptions that:

(1) such additional Debt and any other Debt incurred by MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four quarter period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds therefrom (including to repay or retire other Debt) had occurred, on the first day of such period,

(2) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of MAALP 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

(3) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets, in any such case with a fair market value (determined in good faith by MAALP’s Board of Directors) in excess of $1,000,000, since the first day of such four quarter period, whether by merger, purchase or sale of Capital Stock or assets, or otherwise, such acquisition or disposition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the 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 rate which would have been in effect during the entire such four quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entire such period.

For clarity, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Section 4.09(c), Debt of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged or consolidated with or into MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries or becomes a Subsidiary of MAALP shall be deemed to have been incurred by MAALP or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, on the date of such merger or consolidation or the date such Person becomes a Subsidiary of MAALP, as the case may be.

- 37 -

(d) Maintenance of Unencumbered Total Asset Value. MAALP and its Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, will at all times maintain an Unencumbered Total Asset Value in an amount not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of outstanding Unsecured Debt of MAALP and its Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

For clarity, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Section 4.09(d), Debt of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged or consolidated with or into MAALP or any of its Subsidiaries or becomes a Subsidiary of MAALP shall be deemed to have been incurred by MAALP or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, on the date of such merger or consolidation or the date such Person becomes a Subsidiary of MAALP, as the case may be.

Section 4.10 Insurance.

MAALP will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep in force upon all of its insurable properties insurance policies carried with reputable companies in such amounts and covering such risks as is customary in the industry in which MAALP and its Subsidiaries do business in accordance with prevailing market conditions and availability.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Properties.

MAALP will cause all of its material properties and the material properties of each of its Subsidiaries that are used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order, normal wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted, and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof (and MAALP may take out of service for a period of time any of its or its Subsidiaries’ properties that have been condemned or suffered any loss due to casualty in order to make such repairs, betterments and improvements), all as in its judgment may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, MAALP may (i) discontinue the maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the reasonable judgment of MAALP, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary of MAALP and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of any Notes Outstanding under this Indenture, (ii) remove, or cause its Subsidiaries to remove, permanently any property that has been condemned or suffered a loss due to casualty based on MAALP’s reasonable judgment that such removal is in the best interest of MAALP or (iii) sell or otherwise dispose of, or cause its Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose of, for value any of their respective properties in the ordinary course of business.

Section 4.12 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

MAALP will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent::

(a) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any of its Subsidiaries or upon any income, profits, property or assets of it or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon its property or assets or the property or assets of any of its Subsidiaries,

- 38 -

provided, however, that MAALP will not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (a) whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (b) if the non-payment of any such taxes, assessments, charges or claims would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of MAALP to pay when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.

Section 4.13 Existence of CRLP.

Except as permitted under Section 4.14(d), at such times (and only such times), if any, as CRLP is required, pursuant to this Indenture, to guarantee the Notes, CRLP shall do or cause to be done all things necessary (i) to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence (partnership or other) and (ii) to preserve and keep in full force and effect its rights (under its partnership agreement or other organizational documents, as the case may be, and its statutory rights), licenses and franchises; provided, however, that CRLP shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors of MAALP determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of CRLP.

Section 4.14 Springing Subsidiary Guarantees by CRLP.

(a) Subsidiary Guarantees. So long as Notes are Outstanding under this Indenture, neither MAALP nor MAA will cause, permit or suffer CRLP to Guaranty any Unsecured Debt of MAALP that is outstanding under the Principal Credit Agreement (the “Guaranteed Debt”) unless (1) CRLP, MAALP and MAA shall contemporaneously execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D to this Indenture (a “Subsidiary Guarantee Supplemental Indenture”) (the Trustee may, but need not be, a party to such Subsidiary Guarantee Supplemental Indenture) providing for CRLP’s guarantee of the Notes as set forth in Article Fifteen of this Indenture and in the Subsidiary Guarantees, if any, of CRLP endorsed on the certificates evidencing the Notes and pursuant to which CRLP shall become a party to this Indenture and (2) if such Guaranteed Debt is:

(1) pari passu in right of payment with the Notes, then CRLP’s Guaranty of such Guaranteed Debt shall be pari passu in right of payment with, or subordinated in right of payment to, its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes, or

(2) subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, then CRLP’s Guaranty of such Guaranteed Debt shall be subordinated in right of payment to its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes to at least the extent that the Guaranteed Debt is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes

In the event that CRLP is required to enter into a Subsidiary Guarantee Supplemental Indenture, MAALP and MAA shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of MAALP and MAA and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case to the effect set forth in Section 9.05 (which Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall expressly refer to and cover such Subsidiary Guarantee Supplemental Indenture as contemplated by Section 9.05), and to the further effect that the Subsidiary Guarantees of CRLP to be endorsed on the certificates evidencing the Notes have been duly authorized by CRLP and, when executed by CRLP and endorsed on Notes which have been executed and delivered by MAALP and authenticated by the Trustee, will constitute valid and binding obligations of CRLP, enforceable against CRLP in accordance with their terms, subject to customary exceptions; and MAALP shall deliver to the Trustee a Board Resolution of CRLP authorizing and approving the form and terms of the Subsidiary Guarantee Supplemental Indenture, this Indenture and of CRLP’s Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed on the certificates evidencing the Notes and further authorizing CRLP to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee Supplemental Indenture, this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed on any Notes.

- 39 -

(b) Suspension of Subsidiary Guarantee and Subsidiary Guarantor Covenant. If on any date:

CRLP shall be released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, if any, of the Notes and from all of its other obligations, if any, under this Indenture (i) if MAALP shall have effected legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 11.02 or (ii) if this Indenture shall have ceased to be of further effect with respect to the Notes upon compliance by MAALP with the provisions set forth in Section 11.01, except in each case for such obligations which Section 11.02 or 11.01, as the case may be, expressly provides shall remain in effect notwithstanding any such legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge, as the case may be. In the event of any such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Notes or in the event that this Indenture ceases to be of further effect with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 11.01, then, in addition to the consequences thereof set forth above in this paragraph and in Section 11.02 or 11.01, as the case may be, MAALP and MAA shall also be released, solely insofar as relates to the Notes, from their respective obligations described under this Section 4.14.

(1) either (1) in the case of a merger, CRLP shall be the continuing Person or (2) the successor Person (if other than CRLP) formed by or resulting from such consolidation or into which CRLP is merged or to which such sale, lease, assignment, transfer or other conveyance of all or substantially all of CRLP’s assets is made (i) is MAALP or (ii) shall be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and (solely in the case of this clause (ii)) shall, by an indenture supplemental hereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, executed by such successor Person and the other parties to this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee, expressly assume the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable under the Subsidiary Guarantees of the Notes and the due and punctual performance and observance of every other obligation in this Indenture with respect to the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, if any, endorsed on the certificates evidencing any Notes on the part of CRLP to be performed or observed;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of related transactions, as the case may be, and treating any Debt which becomes an obligation of CRLP, MAALP or any of their respective Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by it at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(3) MAALP and MAA shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of MAALP and an Officer’s Certificate of MAA and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease or other conveyance and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with this Section 4.14(d) and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with,

Upon any consolidation by CRLP with or merger of CRLP into any Person or any sale, lease, assignment, transfer or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of CRLP to any Person in accordance with the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph:

- 42 -

(1) the successor Person formed by or resulting from such consolidation or into which CRLP is merged or to which such sale, lease, assignment, transfer or other conveyance is made shall (solely insofar as relates to the Notes) succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, CRLP under this Indenture with respect to the Notes with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as CRLP under this Indenture; and

(2) except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be released (solely insofar as relates to the Notes) from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, if any, of the Notes.

Section 4.15 Additional Interest Notice.

In the event that MAALP is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders of Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or this Indenture, MAALP will provide written notice (“Additional Interest Notice”) to the Trustee of its obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the proposed Interest Payment Date for Additional Interest, and the Additional Interest Notice shall set forth the amount of Additional Interest to be paid by MAALP on such Interest Payment Date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Additional Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent or calculation of the amount of Additional Interest when made, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest.

(iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06; and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to Notes other than the non-payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on the Notes which shall have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been waived as provided in Section 6.07 or cured.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case MAALP, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of MAALP, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with any written direction received by it pursuant to the terms hereof, or for exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

(f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the Trustee has otherwise received written notice thereof; and

(g) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the Trustee shall have been notified in writing of such Event of Default by MAALP or a Holder of Notes.

None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Except as explicitly specified otherwise herein, MAALP will be responsible for making all calculations required under this Indenture and the Notes. MAALP will make such calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, MAALP’s calculations will be final and binding on Holders of the Notes.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

Section 15.01 Subsidiary Guarantee.

The provisions of this Article Fifteen shall not become effective until such time as CRLP shall have entered into a Subsidiary Guarantee Supplemental Indenture as contemplated by Section 4.14. By its execution of any such Subsidiary Guarantee Supplemental Indenture, CRLP will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that it receives substantial benefits from MAALP and MAA and that CRLP is providing its Subsidiary Guarantees for good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, such substantial benefits. Accordingly, subject to the provisions of this Article Fifteen, CRLP hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of Notes that are authenticated by the Trustee and delivered by the Trustee or MAALP that: (i) the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise; (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest on overdue principal of, and overdue premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due; and (iii) all other obligations of MAALP to the Holders of Notes and (solely insofar as it relates to the Notes) to the Trustee hereunder and under the Notes (including, without limitation, obligations to pay fees, expenses and other charges) shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due or duly and punctually performed, as the case may be, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and, in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, or duly and punctually performed, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject, however, in each case referred to above in this paragraph, to the limitations set forth in Section 15.03 hereof (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations”).

- 73 -

Subject to the provisions of this Article Fifteen, CRLP hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that its Subsidiary Guarantee hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or of this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of Notes with respect to any thereof, the entry of any judgment against MAALP, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of CRLP. CRLP hereby waives and relinquishes, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) any right to require the Trustee, the Holders of Notes or MAALP (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantee Benefited Party”) to proceed against MAALP or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Subsidiary Guarantee Benefited Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy in any Subsidiary Guarantee Benefited Party’s power before proceeding against CRLP; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of a Subsidiary Guarantee Benefited Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons; (c) diligence, presentment, the filing of claims with any court in the event of a merger, consolidation, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of MAALP, any right to require a proceeding first against MAALP and any demand, protest and notice of any kind (except as expressly required by this Indenture), including but not limited to notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of CRLP, MAALP, any other Subsidiary Guarantee Benefited Party or any creditor of CRLP or MAALP or on the part of any other Person in connection with any obligations the performance of which are hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Subsidiary Guarantee Benefited Party, including but not limited to an election to proceed against CRLP for reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any defense arising because of a Subsidiary Guarantee Benefited Party’s election of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) (or any successor provision thereto) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (g) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 (or any successor provision thereto) of the Bankruptcy Code. CRLP hereby covenants, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that the Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes shall not be discharged except (x) by payment and performance in full of all Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations, including the payment in full of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes and all other costs and expenses provided for under this Indenture or (y) as provided in Section 4.14(c) or Article Four of this Indenture (subject to survival of certain obligations of CRLP as provided in Section 4.14(c), Article Four and the next succeeding paragraph).

If any Holder of Notes or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to either MAALP or CRLP, or any trustee or similar official acting in relation to either MAALP or CRLP, any amount paid by MAALP (at any time while a Subsidiary Guarantee was in effect with respect to the Notes), or any amount paid by CRLP, to the Trustee or such Holder in respect of the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes, to the extent theretofore discharged or released, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be reinstated in full force and effect, it being understood and agreed that, anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this sentence shall survive any release, pursuant to Section 11.01 or 11.02 or clause (iv) of the last paragraph of Section 4.14(c), of CRLP’s Subsidiary Guarantees of the Notes and of CRLP from its other obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Notes and remain in full force and effect. CRLP agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders of Notes in respect of any Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations until payment in full and performance of all such Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations. CRLP agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six hereof, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of any such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, the Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by CRLP for the purpose of the Subsidiary Guarantee.

- 74 -

Section 15.02 Execution and Delivery of Notation of Subsidiary Guarantee.

To evidence the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 15.01 hereof with respect to the Notes, CRLP agrees that a Subsidiary Guarantee may be endorsed on the certificates evidencing any Note that has been or is authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, which Subsidiary Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of CRLP by its Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer or one of its Vice Presidents and by its Treasurer, one of its Assistant Treasurers, its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries (which signatures may be manual or facsimile) and further agrees that the form and terms of such Subsidiary Guarantee shall be those established by the First Supplemental Indenture. Any Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed on the certificate evidencing any Note shall be in addition to, and shall in no way limit, the Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes pursuant to this Article Fifteen. If CRLP shall become a party to this Indenture pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee Supplemental Indenture as contemplated by Section 4.14, then, if any Notes Outstanding at such time are evidenced by one or more Global Notes, MAALP and CRLP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Depository (or its custodian or nominee) to exchange such Global Notes for Global Notes evidencing a like aggregate principal amount of Notes with Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed on such Global Notes; provided, however, that no failure to effect any such exchange shall constitute a default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes hereunder.

Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed on the certificates evidencing any Note bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time the proper officers of CRLP shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, bind CRLP, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Note or did not hold such offices at the date of such Note.

CRLP agrees that the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Article Fifteen shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes notwithstanding any failure to endorse, or election not to endorse, on any or all Notes a Subsidiary Guarantee in the manner contemplated by the first paragraph of this Section 15.02.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee or MAALP, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee, if any, endorsed on such Note on behalf of CRLP.

Section 15.03 Limitation of CRLP’s Liability; Certain Bankruptcy Events.

(1) CRLP, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of Notes, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the obligations of CRLP under its Subsidiary Guarantees of the Notes and its other obligations under this Article Fifteen with respect to the Notes not constitute a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to such Subsidiary Guarantees or other obligations. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders of Notes and CRLP hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of CRLP under its Subsidiary Guarantees of the Notes and its other obligations under this Article Fifteen with respect to the Notes shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of CRLP that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of CRLP under its Subsidiary Guarantees of the Notes and its other obligations under this Article Fifteen with respect to the Notes not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under such laws.

(2) CRLP hereby covenants and agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that in the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of MAALP, CRLP shall not file (or join in any filing of), or otherwise seek to participate in the filing of, any motion or request seeking to stay or to prohibit (even temporarily) execution on any Subsidiary Guarantee and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives and agrees not to take the benefit of any such stay of execution, whether under Sections 362 or 105 (or any successors thereto) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 7.09 hereof.

Any corporation into which any authenticating agent may be merged or exchanged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or exchange to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 16.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation.

Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to MAALP. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to MAALP. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 16.11, the Trustee shall either promptly appoint a successor authenticating agent or itself assume the duties and obligations of the former authenticating agent under this Indenture and, upon such appointment of a successor authenticating agent, if made, shall give written notice of such appointment of a successor authenticating agent to MAALP and shall mail notice of such appointment of a successor authenticating agent to all Holders of Notes as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Note Register.

MAALP agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time such reasonable compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon in writing between MAALP and the authenticating agent.

Section 16.12 Execution in Counterparts.

This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
