Indenture for 5.375% senior notes due 2025

On March16, 2017, The Howard Hughes Corporation (the Company)
issued $800,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 5.375%
Senior Notes due 2025 (the 2025 Notes) to an indenture, dated
March16, 2017 (the Indenture), by and between the Company and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the Trustee).
The 2025 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the Securities Act) or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction and were offered and sold either to qualified
institutional buyers to Rule144A under the Securities Act or to
persons outside the United States under Regulation S of the
Securities Act.

The 2025 Notes mature on March15, 2025. Interest accrues on the
2025 Notes at a rate of 5.375% per annum from March16, 2017, and
interest is payable semiannually, on March15 and September15 of
each year. The first interest payment date is September15, 2017.
The Company may redeem all or part of the 2025 Notes at any time
on or after March15, 2020 at prices set forth in the Indenture
plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the
redemption date. At any time prior to March15, 2020, the Company
may also redeem up to 35% of the 2025 Notes using the proceeds
from certain equity offerings. At any time prior to March15,
2020, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2025 Notes at a
price equal to 50% of the principal amount, plus a make-whole
premium. If the Company sells certain assets or experiences
specific kinds of changes in control, the Company will be
required to make an offer to purchase the 2025 Notes.

The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including
that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing,
either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the 2025 Notes then outstanding may declare
the entire principal amount of the 2025 Notes, and the interest
accrued on such 2025 Notes, to be immediately due and payable.

Supplemental Indenture for 6.875% senior notes due
2021

The Company also announced the early settlement of its previously
announced tender offer and consent solicitation on its
outstanding 6.875% senior notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes), which
was commenced on March2, 2017. Having received the requisite
consents from the holders of the 2021 Notes in the tender offer
and consent solicitation, on March16, 2017 the Company and the
Trustee executed a supplemental indenture (the Supplemental
Indenture) to amend the indenture governing the 2021 Notes.

The provisions of the Supplemental Indenture eliminate
substantially all of the restrictive covenants and substantially
all of the events of default (other than for failure to make
payments and certain bankruptcy or insolvency events), and
decrease certain notice periods required for optional redemption
of the Notes.
