2.4.2 Interest shall be payable in equal semi-annual installments in arrears on March 30 and September 30 in each year commencing on March 30, 2022 with interest on overdue interest at the same rate, computed in the same manner as interest on the original principal amount, from, and including, its due date until actual payment.

2.8	Additional Events of Default

2.8.1 In addition to the Events of Default contained in Article 5 of the Indenture, the following events will constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes:

2.8.1.2 default by the Issuer or any Guarantor in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any obligation for borrowed money (other than an obligation payable on demand or maturing less than 18 months from the creation or issue thereof) having an outstanding principal amount in excess of 5% of the Net Worth in the aggregate at the time of default or in the performance of any other covenant of the Issuer or any Guarantor contained in any instrument under which such obligation is created or issued resulting in the acceleration of the final maturity of such obligations; or

2.8.2 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. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if an Event of Default occurs as a result of the failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligations in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event as described above, the principal of, and any Premium and accrued interest on the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

Article 3
iNTEREST, PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL

Prior to an Interest Payment Date, the Issuer will forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall subsequently forward to each Holder at the registered address of such Holder as of the Regular Record Date) the interest, less any Taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld. If the Issuer forwards payment to the Trustee by cheque, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee certified cheque(s) payable to the order of the Trustee on the day that is two Business Days before such Interest Payment Date, and the Trustee will only forward such amounts to the Holders upon receipt of the full amount of interest being paid in immediately available funds. The forwarding of such cheque(s) will satisfy and discharge the liability for interest on such Note to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any Taxes deducted or withheld as aforesaid) unless such cheque(s) are not paid on presentation.

Brookfield Property Finance ULC (the "Issuer") for value received hereby promises to pay to the registered Holder hereof on the Maturity Date, or on such earlier date as the Principal Amount may become due and payable in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture (as defined below) and with the provisions of the final term sheet dated October 7, 2021, attached to this Note (the "Term Sheet"), on presentation and surrender of this Note, the Principal Amount in lawful money of Canada at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and to pay interest on the Principal Amount at the interest rate per annum set forth above from the later of the date of issue and the last Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or made available for payment on this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, calculated as set forth above, in like money, and if the Issuer at any time defaults in the payment of any principal, Premium or interest, to pay interest on the amount in default at the same rate, calculated as set forth above, in like money, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and on the same dates.

This Note is one of a series of the Notes of the Issuer issued and to be issued under an indenture dated as of July 3, 2018 (the "Base Indenture") made between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Trustee"), and a sixth supplemental indenture dated as of October 12, 2021 (the "Sixth Supplemental Indenture", and together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture") made between the Issuer and the Trustee. The Indenture and the Term Sheet specify the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are issued or may be issued and held and the rights of the Holders of Notes, the Issuer and the Trustee, all of which are incorporated by reference in this Note and to all of which the Holder of this Note, by acceptance hereof, agrees. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings attributed to them in the Indenture.

Prior to an Interest Payment Date, the Issuer (except in case of payment at Maturity Date or on redemption at which time payment of interest will be made only upon surrender of this Note) will forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee the interest less any Taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld. The Trustee shall subsequently mail a cheque for such amount to the registered Holder of this Note at the registered address of such Holder, or in the case of joint Holders to the registered address of the joint Holder first named in the register, payable to the order of such Holder or Holders and negotiable at par at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The mailing of such cheque will satisfy and discharge the liability for interest on this Note to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any Taxes deducted or withheld as aforesaid) unless such cheque is not paid on presentation. The Trustee may pay or cause to be paid, at its option, any amount payable in respect of principal, interest or Premium (if any) to the Holder of this Note, by wire transfer to an account maintained by such Holder.

The Notes may be issued in one or more series and without limitation as to aggregate principal amount, but only upon the terms and subject to the restrictions set out in the Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes of other series which may be issued under the Indenture is unlimited, but such Notes may be issued only upon the terms and subject to any conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Notes are direct obligations of the Issuer but are not secured by any mortgage, pledge, hypothec or other charge.

Upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, Notes of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in any other authorized denomination or denominations.

So long as the Issuer is not in default under the Indenture, the Issuer may purchase Notes in the open market, by tender or by private contract at any price.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Sixth Supplemental Indenture), unless the Issuer has exercised any right to redeem the Notes, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture except if another Person makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer that would be required to be made by the Issuer in connection with a Change of Control Triggering Event, and such Person purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

The Principal Amount may become or be declared due before the Maturity Date on the conditions, in the manner, with the effect and at the times set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for the holding of meetings of Holders and making resolutions passed at such meetings and instruments in writing signed by the Holders of a specified percentage of the Notes outstanding binding on all Holders, subject to the provisions of the Indenture.

This Note may be transferred only upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Indenture on one of the registers kept at the principal offices of the Trustee in Toronto, Ontario and at such other place or places, if any, and by such other registrar or registrars, if any, as the Issuer may designate, by the registered Holder hereof or the Holder's legal representative or attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Trustee, and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the Trustee or other registrar may prescribe, and such transfer shall be duly noted hereon by the Trustee or other registrar.
