+### Example 3: Get hidden event subscribers
+
+This example registers an event subscriber for the **PowerShell.Exiting** event. The subscription is
+registered using the **SupportEvent** parameter, which hides the event subscriber from the default
+output of the `Get-EventSubscriber` cmdlet. You must use the **Force** parameter to get all event
+subscribers, including hidden subscribers.
+
+```powershell
+Register-EngineEvent -SourceIdentifier PowerShell.Exiting -SupportEvent -Action {
+    Get-History | Export-Clixml d:\temp\history.clixml

+Get-EventSubscriber  # No output - must use -Force

+### Example 13 - ExpandProperty alters the original object
+
+This example demonstrates the side-effect of using the **ExpandProperty** parameter. When you use
+**ExpandProperty**, `Select-Object` adds the selected properties to the original object as
+**NoteProperty** members.
+
+```powershell
+PS> $object = [PSCustomObject]@{
+    name = 'USA'
+    children = [PSCustomObject]@{
+        name = 'Southwest'
+    }

+Southwest USA
+
+# The original object has been altered
+PS> $object
+
+name children
+---- --------
+USA  @{name=Southwest; country=USA}
+```
+
+As you can see, the **country** property was added to the **children** object after using the
+**ExpandProperty** parameter.
+
+### Example 14 - Create a new object with expanded properties without altering the input object

+You can avoid the side-effect of using the **ExpandProperty** parameter by creating a new object and
+copying the properties from the input object.
