In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that
all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other
such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any
certificate of an Officer of the Company or other obligor on the Securities may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion may be based, insofar as it relates to factual
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Officer or Officers of the Company or other obligor on the Securities stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company or other
obligor on the Securities, unless such Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Opinions of Counsel required to be
delivered to the Trustee may have qualifications customary for opinions of the type required and counsel delivering such Opinions of Counsel may rely on certificates of the Company or government or other officials customary for opinions of the type
required, including certificates certifying as to matters of fact, including that various financial covenants have been complied with.

representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate or opinion may be based are erroneous. Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a statement that
such firm is independent with respect to the Company. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications,
requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed
in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing

 (d) The fact
and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also
constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 

(e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the
Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of such Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding Trust Indenture Act Section 316(c), any such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to
the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and no later than the date such first solicitation is completed. 
 If
such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be Holders for purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities then Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,


  
 15 








 
consent, waiver or other Act, and for this purpose the Securities then Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than ninety (90) days after such record date. 

(f) For purposes of this Indenture, any action by the Holders which may be taken in writing may be taken by electronic means or as otherwise
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 
 Section 1.06 NOTICES, ETC., TO THE TRUSTEE, THE COMPANY. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: 
 (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or any other obligor on
the Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as provided in Section 5.01(c) or (d), in which case, the notice shall be delivered by certified mail) hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Services, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Holders or the Company, or any other obligor on
the Securities by the Trustee and shall be deemed given upon actual receipt by the Trustee; or 
 (b) the Company by the Trustee or any
Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as provided in Section 5.01(c), in which case, the notice shall be delivered by certified mail) hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by
recognized overnight courier, to the Company addressed to The GEO Group, Inc., One Park Place, 621 N.W. 53rd Street, Suite 700, Boca Raton, Florida, Attention: Chief Financial Officer,
or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 
 The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon
instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such
transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized
representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. If the party elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon
such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and
compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic
methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

 Section 1.07 NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER. 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect
the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice when mailed to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder whether or not actually received by such Holder. Where this
Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders
shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any
event as required by any provision of this Indenture, then any method of giving such notice as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and reasonably calculated to reach its destination shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as long as the Securities are in the form of a Global Security, notice
to the Holders may be made electronically in accordance with procedures of the Depositary. 
 Section 1.08 CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any provision of the Trust Indenture Act or another provision which is
required or deemed to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, the provision or requirement of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of
the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 

Section 1.09 EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS.

and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Maturity or Stated Maturity and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date,
Maturity or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day. 
 Section 1.15 INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS. 

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition
exists. 
 Section 1.16 SCHEDULES AND EXHIBITS. 

All schedules and exhibits attached hereto are by this reference made a part hereof with the same effect as if herein set forth in full.

Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original; but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature

 The Securities shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of
$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless provided otherwise in a supplemental indenture with respect to any series of Securities. 

Section 3.03 EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one of its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President, its Chief Executive
Officer, its Chief Financial Officer or one of its Vice Presidents. The signatures of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time the proper officer of the Company shall bind the
Company, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such office at the date of such Securities. 

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as provided in this
Indenture and not otherwise. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall receive, and, subject to Section 6.01, shall be fully
protected in relying upon: 
 (a) A copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors in or pursuant to which the terms and
form of the Securities were established, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such certificate, and if the terms
and form of such Securities were established by an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to authorization of the Board of Directors, such Officers’ Certificate; 

  
 24 








 (b) an executed supplemental indenture, if any; 

(c) an Officers’ Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 1.03; and 

(d) an Opinion of Counsel which shall state: 

(1) that the form of such Securities has been established by a supplemental indenture or by or pursuant to a resolution of the
Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.01 and in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

(2) that the terms of such Securities have been established in accordance with Section 3.01 and in conformity with
the other provisions of this Indenture; and 
 (3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. 

Unless otherwise provided for in the form of Security, each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, in case
the Company, pursuant to Article VIII, shall, in a single transaction or through a series of related transactions, be consolidated, amalgamated, combined 

  
 25 








 
or merged with or into any other Person or shall sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, and the
successor Person resulting from such consolidation, amalgamation, or combination or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the successor Person which shall have participated in the sale, assignment, conveyance,
transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article VIII, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, amalgamation,
combination, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes
in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Request of the successor Person, shall authenticate
and deliver Securities as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 3.03 in exchange or
substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities
authenticated and delivered in such new name. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (“Authenticating Agent”)
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities on behalf of the Trustee. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Security Registrar or Paying Agent to deal with the Company and its Affiliates. 

Section 3.04 TEMPORARY SECURITIES. 

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officer or officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 

(b) If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay, except to
comply with applicable law. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for
such purpose pursuant to Section 10.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. 

  
 26 








 Section 3.05 REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. 

The Company shall cause the Trustee to keep, so long as it is the Security Registrar, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or such
other office as the Trustee may designate, a register for each series of Securities (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 10.02 being herein sometimes referred to as the
“Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Security Registrar may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee shall initially
be the “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. The Company may change the Security Registrar or appoint one or more co-Security Registrars without prior notice;
provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee if the Company changes the Security Registrar or appoints a co-Security Registrar. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to
Section 10.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or
denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global
Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in a
Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities
of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, Securities of the same series which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same Indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, or for exchange, repurchase or redemption, shall (if so required by the
Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer, exchange or redemption of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to this Section 3.05 or Section 3.07 not involving any transfer, except for any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be

imposed in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 3.04 or 9.06 or pursuant to
any offer for the Securities which the Company may make to the Holders pursuant to the provisions of any indenture supplemental hereto). 

The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities pursuant to Article XI or any applicable provision of an indenture supplemental hereto and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (b) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part or (c) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Security between a Regular
Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or a Special Record Date and the next succeeding Special Payment Date. 
 Any
Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Global Security, whether pursuant to this Section 3.05, Sections 3.04, 3.06, 3.07, 9.06 or
11.08 or otherwise, shall also be a Global Security and bear the legend specified in Exhibit A hereto or as specified pursuant to Section 3.01. 

All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Security Registrar pursuant to this
Section 3.05 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile with the original to follow by first class mail. 

Section 3.06 BOOK ENTRY PROVISIONS FOR GLOBAL SECURITIES. 

The following provisions shall govern Global Securities except as set forth in an indenture supplemental hereto: 

(a) Each Global Security initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or the nominee of such
Depositary, (ii) be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary or with the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. 

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to
any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute
owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered,
and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) has ceased 

  
 28 








 
to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act, and in either case the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary, (ii) the Company, at its option, executes and
delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that it elects to cause the issuance of the Securities in certificated form and that all Global Securities shall be exchanged in whole for Securities that are not Global Securities (in which case, such
exchange shall be effected by the Trustee) or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Global Security. 

(c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the
Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Security Registrar, for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article III. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is to be
exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article III or (ii) the principal amount
thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by
means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Security Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding
adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, subject to this Section 3.06(c) and as otherwise provided in this Article III, authenticate and deliver any Securities
issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with
the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding Subsection (b), the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article III if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with
the Applicable Procedures. 
 (d) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu
of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article III or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person
other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
 (e) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a
Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.
Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members. 

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under
this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between 

  
 29 








 
or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required
by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of Depositary
records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any Depositary records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for transfers of
beneficial interests in the Securities or any transactions between the Depositary and beneficial owners. 
 Section 3.07 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST
AND STOLEN SECURITIES. 
 If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee, such security or indemnity, in each case, as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon a Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such
mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a replacement Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a replacement Security, pay such Security. 
 Upon the issuance of any replacement Securities under this
Section 3.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel) connected therewith. 
 Every replacement Security issued
pursuant to this Section 3.07 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 

The provisions of this Section 3.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

  
 30 








 Section 3.08 PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. 

Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, interest
on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on the Stated Maturity of such interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Security (or any Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest payment. 
 Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.01, any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the Stated Maturity of such interest, and interest on such defaulted interest at the then applicable
interest rate borne by the Securities, to the extent lawful (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record
Date; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Subsection (a) or (b) below: 

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or any relevant Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Payment Date”), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the Special Payment Date, such money when deposited to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Subsection (a) provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days
and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the Special Payment Date and shall fix the Special Record Date not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
in writing of such Special Record Date. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Payment Date
therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Subsection (b). 

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by this Indenture not inconsistent with the requirements of such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Subsection (b), such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

  
 31 








 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, each Security delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 

Section 3.09 CUSIP NUMBERS. 
 The
Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Company, or the Trustee on behalf of the Company, shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders;
provided, however, that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only
on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities; and provided further, however, that failure to use CUSIP numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange shall not affect the validity or sufficiency of such notice. The Company will
promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 Section 3.10 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. 

Prior to and at the time of due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.08) interest on, such Security
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Section 3.11 CANCELLATION. 
 All
Securities surrendered for payment, purchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already canceled, shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 3.11, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with
the Trustee’s standard procedures, unless by a Company Order received by the Trustee prior to such disposition, the Company shall direct that the canceled Securities be returned to it. The Trustee shall provide the Company a list of all
Securities that have been canceled from time to time as requested in writing by the Company. 
 Section 3.12 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities
of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

  
 32 








 ARTICLE IV 

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 

Section 4.01 APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE; COMPANY’S OPTION TO EFFECT DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. 

If pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under
Section 4.02 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 4.03, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article IV
(with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to
such Securities, elect to have Section 4.02 (if applicable) or Section 4.03 (if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any corresponding Guarantees of such Securities (the “Defeased
Securities”) upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article IV. 
 Section 4.02 DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

 Upon the Company’s exercise of the option applicable to this Section 4.02 with respect to any Securities of a series,
the Company and any other obligor upon the applicable series of Securities, if any, shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Defeased Securities on the date the conditions set forth in Section 4.04
below are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company and any other obligor under the applicable series of Securities shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Indebtedness represented by the Defeased Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 4.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and
(b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such series of Securities and this Indenture insofar as such series of Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company and upon Company Request, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Defeased Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 4.05 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such series of Securities, when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s
obligations with respect to such Defeased Securities under Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.07, 10.02 and 10.03, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Defeased Securities, including, without limitation, the Trustee’s rights under Section 6.07 and the Company’s and, if any, the Guarantors’, obligations in connection therewith, and (d) this Article IV.
Subject to compliance with this Article IV, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 4.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 4.03 with respect to a series of Securities. 

Section 4.03 COVENANT DEFEASANCE. 

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option applicable to this Section 4.03 with respect to any Securities of a series, the
Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenant 

  
 33 








 
or provision contained or referred to in Section 10.04, and any other covenant or provision if specified pursuant to Section 3.01, in each case, with respect to the
Defeased Securities, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and the Defeased Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not
“Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all
other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes), and the Events of Default under Section 5.01(c) and (d) and any Event of Default specified to be
covered by this Section 4.03 for a series in accordance with Section 3.01 shall cease to be in full force and effect with respect to the applicable series of Securities. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that,
with respect to the Defeased Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 5.01 but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Defeased Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

Section 4.04 CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. 

The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 to the Defeased Securities
of a series: 
 (1) The Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the
applicable series of Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether
such Securities are being defeased to Maturity or to a particular Redemption Date and, if such Securities are being defeased to a particular Redemption Date, the Company must have delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable notice of redemption; 

(2) In the case of an election under Section 4.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable
Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; 

  
 34 








 (3) In the case of an election under Section 4.03, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; 

(4) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on either (a) on the date of such deposit or
(b) insofar as Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f) are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 123rd day after the date of deposit; 

(5) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any
material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 

(6) The Company must have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the creation of the defeasance
trust does not violate the Investment Company Act of 1940 and after the passage of 123 days following the deposit, the trust fund will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or Section 15 of the New York
Debtor and Creditor Law; 
 (7) The Company must have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the applicable Securities over the other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others;
and 
 (8) The Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 4.02 or the covenant defeasance under Section 4.03 (as the case may be) have been complied with. 

Opinions of Counsel required to be delivered under this Section 4.04 shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee and may have qualifications customary for opinions of the type required and counsel delivering such opinions may rely on certificates of the Company or government or other officials customary for opinions of the type required, which
certificates shall be limited as to matters of fact, including that various financial covenants have been complied with. 
 Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Article IV, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions and limitations which may be imposed by the Company in connection therewith
pursuant to Section 3.01. 

  
 35 








 Section 4.05 DEPOSITED MONEY AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS. 
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all United States dollars and U.S.
Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04 in respect of the Defeased Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such series of Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (excluding the Company or any of its Affiliates acting as Paying Agent), as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
series of Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge
which by law is imposed, assessed or for the account of the Holders of the Defeased Securities. 
 Anything in this Article IV to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 4.04 which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect defeasance or covenant
defeasance. 
 Section 4.06 REINSTATEMENT. 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with
Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture and the applicable series of Securities shall be revived and reinstated, with present and prospective effect, as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment to
the Trustee or Paying Agent of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall promptly pay any such amount to the Holders of the Securities
of such series and the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such series of Securities to receive such payment from the United States dollars and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent pursuant to
Section 4.02 or 4.03. 

  
 36 








 ARTICLE V 

REMEDIES 
 Section 5.01 EVENTS OF
DEFAULT. 
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for
such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) with
respect to a particular series of Securities except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01: 

(a) there shall be a default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of such series when it becomes due and
payable, and such default shall continue for a period of 30 days; 
 (b) there shall be a default in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of such series when it becomes due and payable, whether at Maturity, upon redemption by declaration or otherwise; 

(c) there shall be a default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company or a Guarantor, if any, applicable to
such series of Securities (other than a default in the performance, or breach, of a covenant or agreement which is specifically dealt with in Subsections (a) and (b)) and such default or breach shall continue for a period of 60
consecutive days after written notice to the Company has been given; 
 (d) except as permitted by this Indenture or as provided in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, any Guarantee of such series of Securities shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any
Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee of such series of Securities; 

(e) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together,
would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 
 (i) commences a voluntary
case, 
 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

(iii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

(iv) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and 

  
 37 








 (f) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

 (i) is for relief against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case; or 
 (ii)
appoints a custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property

 Section 5.02 ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f)) with respect
to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, shall occur and be continuing, unless the principal and interest with respect to all of the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series (with each affected series voting as a separate class) then Outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all unpaid principal of and accrued
interest on all Securities of that series affected thereby to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Securities) and upon any such declaration, such principal and
interest shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Subsection (e) or Subsection (f) of Section 5.01 occurs, unless the principal and interest with respect to the Securities
shall have already become due and payable, then the Securities of all series shall ipso facto become and be due and payable immediately in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Securities, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to the date the Securities become due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Thereupon, the Trustee may, at its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Holders of the
Securities by appropriate judicial proceedings. 
 Section 5.03 COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) with respect to any Securities of a series occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the whole amount of principal and interest, remaining unpaid on such series of Securities, with interest upon the
overdue principal, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate borne by the Securities of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the 

  
 38 








 
costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and the Trustee may prosecute such proceeding
to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series, wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture by such appropriate private or judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, subject however to Section 5.12. No recovery of any
such judgment upon any property of the Company shall affect or impair any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders. 
 Section 5.04
TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. 
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee
(irrespective of whether the principal of such series of Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment
of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (a) to file proofs of
claim and such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel)
and of the Holders of the Securities of such series allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, fees and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

  
 39 








 For purposes of this Section 5.04, the Trustee is hereby designated as the
attorney-in-fact for the Holders. 
 Section 5.05 TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES. 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and
any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, fees and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such
series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 Section 5.06 APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED. 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article V or otherwise on behalf of the Holders or the Trustee pursuant to this
Article V or through any proceeding or any arrangement or restructuring in anticipation or in lieu of any proceeding contemplated by this Article V shall be applied, subject to applicable law, in the following order, at the date or
dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon
surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07; 

SECOND: To the extent provided in Article XIV, to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company in accordance with
Article XIV; and 
 THIRD: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal and
interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, on the Securities of such series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled
thereto, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest; and 

FOURTH: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto, including the Company, provided that all sums due and
owing to the Holders and the Trustee have been paid in full as required by this Indenture. 
 Section 5.07 LIMITATION ON SUITS. 

No Holder of any series of Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture
or any series of Securities, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (a) such Holder
has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 

  
 40 








 (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as trustee hereunder; 

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, fees and expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in compliance with such request; 
 (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer (and, if
requested, provision) of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written
request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the affected series; 

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture or any Security of any series to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture
or any Security of any series, except in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions
or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). 
 Section 5.08 UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND
INTEREST. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right based on the terms
stated herein, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and (subject to Section 3.08) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption or repurchase, on the Redemption Date or the repurchase date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

Section 5.09 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, any other obligor on the Securities, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 


  
 41 








 Section 5.10 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. 

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 5.11 DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. 
 Every right and remedy
given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 

Section 5.12 CONTROL BY HOLDERS. 

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of any series of Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Article V with respect to such series, provided that: 

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture (including, without limitation,
Section 5.07), expose the Trustee to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining therein; and 
 (b)
subject to the provisions of Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 

Section 5.13 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. 

Subject to Section 9.02, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any affected series (with
each affected series voting as a separate class), by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a continuing Default or
Event of Default in the payment of interest, if any, on, or the principal of, such Securities (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then Outstanding Securities of any affected series (with each affected series voting as a separate class) may rescind an acceleration and its consequences with respect to such series, including any related payment default that resulted from such
acceleration). The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their 

  
 42 








 
former positions and rights hereunder and under the Securities of such series, respectively. This Section 5.13 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act
and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 5.14 UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, but the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the
aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder pursuant to Section 5.08 hereof. 

Section 5.15 WAIVER OF STAY, EXTENSION OR USURY LAWS. 

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the
principal of, or interest on the Securities contemplated herein or in the Securities or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all
benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted. 
 Section 5.16 REMEDIES SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. 

All rights, remedies and powers provided by this Article V may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not
violate any applicable provision of law in the premises, and all the provisions of this Indenture are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling in the premises and to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they will not render this Indenture invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture; 
 (d) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its

indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; 

  
 44 








 (e) whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any
way relates to the Trustee is subject to Subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 6.01; and

hereunder actually known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security, the Trustee

Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series then Outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in
the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it against such expenses or
liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such investigation so requested by the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding of an affected series shall be paid by the
Company or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; provided, further, the Trustee in its discretion may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may deem fit,
and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no

of the Default or Event of Default on a written instrument or document received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the Securities. In the absence of such actual knowledge or delivery of notice satisfying those
requirements, the Trustee may assume conclusively that there is no Default or Event of Default, except as noted above;

in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (j) the rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person
employed by the Trustee to act hereunder;

authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except
that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in any Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 to be
supplied to the Company will be true and accurate subject to the qualifications set forth therein. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 

Section 6.05 TRUSTEE AND AGENTS MAY HOLD SECURITIES; COLLECTIONS; ETC. 

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities, with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent and, subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310 and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company and
receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. 

Section 6.06 MONEY HELD IN TRUST.

 Section 6.07 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE AND ITS PRIOR CLAIM. 

The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, such compensation as agreed to in writing by the Company and the
Trustee and reasonable compensation for all other services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and the Company covenants and
agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable fees, expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Indenture and as agreed upon in the fee agreement between the Trustee and the Company (including the reasonable compensation and the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ);
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Company also covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and its directors, officers, agents and employees and each predecessor
Trustee (the “Indemnitees”) for, and to hold them harmless against, any claim, loss, liability, damage, tax, assessment or other governmental charge (other than taxes applicable to the Trustee’s compensation hereunder) or
expense incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including enforcement of this
Section 6.07 and also including any liability which the Indemnitees may incur as a result of failure to withhold, pay or report any tax, assessment, fine, penalty, damages or other governmental charge, and the costs, fees and expenses of
defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Guarantor, a Holder, or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations
of the Company under this Section 6.07 to compensate and indemnify the Indemnitees and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for reasonable fees, expenses, disbursements and advances
shall constitute an additional obligation hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee. 

The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities as to all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any
predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.07, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities. 

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or
Section 5.01(f), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law. 

  
 48 








 Section 6.08 CONFLICTING INTERESTS. 

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as trustee under Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and
which shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, to the extent there is an institution eligible and willing to serve. If the Trustee does not have a Corporate Trust Office in The City of New York, the Trustee may appoint an
agent in The City of New York reasonably acceptable to the Company to conduct any activities which the Trustee may be required under this Indenture to conduct in The City of New York. If such Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of Federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.09, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI. 
 Section 6.10 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL;
APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. 
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to
this Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee under Section 6.11. 

(b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice thereof to the Company no
later than 30 Business Days prior to the proposed date of resignation. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by authority of the Board of Directors of the
Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and a copy to the successor trustee. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee, at the expense of the Company, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint and prescribe a successor trustee. 

(c) The Trustee may be removed with respect to any particular series of Securities at any time for any cause or for no cause by an Act of the
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. Upon receiving such Act of the Holders, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument executed by authority of the Board of Directors of the Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to the removed Trustee and a copy to the 

  
 49 








 
successor trustee. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the receipt of such Act of the Holders, the removed
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint and prescribe a successor trustee. 

(d) If at any time: 

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b) after written request
therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, 
 (2) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or
of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

then, in any case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to
Section 5.14, the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. 

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within 60 days after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
occurrence of such vacancy, the Company has not appointed a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of a series, a successor trustee shall be appointed by the Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of the Securities and accepted appointment in the manner provided herein, the Trustee, at
the expense of the Company, or the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, subject to Section 5.14, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Securities of a series. 
 (f) The Company
shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor trustee by mailing written notice of such event by 

  
 50 








 
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee and the
address of its Corporate Trust Office or agent hereunder. 
 Section 6.11 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR. 

Every successor trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee as if originally named as Trustee hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges pursuant to Section 6.07 then unpaid, such
retiring Trustee shall pay over to the successor trustee all moneys, cash equivalents and other property relating thereto at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such
rights, powers, trusts and duties. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. 

No successor trustee with respect to the Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time
of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible to act as trustee under the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and this Article VI and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and have a
Corporate Trust Office or an agent selected in accordance with Section 6.09. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities,
shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not
retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or
trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, 

  
 51 








 
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates. 
 Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the
Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders of the Securities, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the
appointment, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 6.10. If the Company fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company. 
 Section 6.12 MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION
OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. 
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the trust created by
this Indenture) shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and this Article VI and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and have a Corporate Trust Office or an agent selected in accordance with Section 6.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. 

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have
been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is
anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any
predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. 
 Section 6.13 PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION
OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. 
 If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or other obligor under the
Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture
Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein, as qualified by Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b).

 Section 6.14 APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. 

At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or
more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such
reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 3.01, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the
United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal
or State authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.14, the
combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.14, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 6.14. 

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall
continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

 An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for
such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case of any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.14, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in
Section 1.07. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.14. 

  
 53 








 The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation
including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section 6.14. 
 If an appointment with respect
to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 6.14, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of
authentication substantially in the following form: 
 This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the
within-mentioned Indenture. 
 Dated:

trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all
the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation, reimbursement and
indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee; and 
 (5) any separate
trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name
for the purposes of enforcing any rights or taking any other action on behalf of the Holders of any Securities issued hereunder.

sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall promptly be paid to the
Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of

 62 








 (b) In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Company shall file a copy of all
of the information and reports referred to in clauses (a)(i) and (ii) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such
a filing) and make such information available to prospective investors upon request. 
 (c) If the Company has designated any of its
Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 10.04(a) shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the
footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the
financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company. 
 (d) Notwithstanding
Sections 10.04(a), (b) and (c), if any direct or indirect parent company of the Company provides a full and unconditional guarantee of the Securities, the reports, information and other documents required to be filed
and furnished as required by Sections 10.04(a), (b) and (c) may be those of such parent company, rather than those of the Company; provided that, if and so long as such parent company shall have Independent Assets
or Operations, the same is accompanied by consolidating information relating to such parent company, on the one hand, and information relating to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. The Company shall
be deemed to have furnished to the Holders of Securities, and to have filed with and delivered to the Trustee, the information and reports referred to in subclauses (i) and (ii) of Section 10.04(a) and
Section 10.04(c) and this clause (d) (or such information and reports of a direct or indirect parent company of the Company, if applicable), if such information and reports have been filed with the Commission via the EDGAR
filing system (or any successor filing system of the Commission) and are publicly available (provided that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine whether such filing has occurred). “Independent Assets or
Operations” means, with respect to any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, that each of the total assets, revenues, income from continuing operations before income taxes and cash flows from operating activities of such parent
company, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, but excluding in each case amounts related to its investment in the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, as shown in the most recent fiscal quarter financial statements of such
parent company (measured on a most recent trailing four fiscal quarter basis with respect to revenues, income from continuing operations before income taxes and cash flows from operating activities), is more than 3.0% of such parent company’s
corresponding consolidated amount determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 (e) The Company shall and shall cause each Guarantor (if any) (to
the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) to deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its
Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further
stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance
of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this 

  
 63 








 
Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking
or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if
such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 (f)
So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 10.04(a)(i) shall be accompanied by a written statement of
the Company’s independent public accountants (which shall be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead
them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of Article X hereof or any covenants of the Company contained in any amendment or indenture supplemental hereto or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of
existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation. 

(g) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, forthwith after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event
which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect
thereto. 
 (h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to analyze or make any credit decision with respect to any financial statements or
reports received by it hereunder, but shall hold such financial statements or reports solely for the benefit of and/or review by the Holders of the Securities. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee hereunder is for
informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 (i) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Section 10.04 for purposes of Article V of this Indenture until 120 days after the date any report under this
Section 10.04 is due; provided that this subclause (i) shall not apply to subclauses (e) and (g) of this Section 10.04.

 ARTICLE XI 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 

Section 11.01 RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION. 

The Company shall have such rights to redeem the Securities of any series as are set forth, if any, in any amendment or indenture supplemental
hereto, pursuant to Section 3.01. The provisions of this Article XI shall apply to any redemption of any series of Securities hereunder. 

Section 11.02 APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. 

Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be
made in accordance with such provision and this Article XI except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series. 

Section 11.03 ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Company Order and an Officers’ Certificate. In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, not less than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of the applicable series of Securities to be redeemed except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series. 

Section 11.04 SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. 

If less than all of the applicable series of Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed shall
be selected not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date. If less than all of the Securities of any series are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Securities of such series for redemption as follows: 

(1) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange on which the Securities are listed; or 
 (2) if the Securities are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata
basis (based on amounts tendered), by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate in accordance with DTC procedures. No Securities of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. The amounts to be redeemed shall be equal to $2,000 or
any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless provided otherwise in any supplemental indenture with respect to any particular series of Securities. No Securities of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in


  
 65 








 
part. The amounts to be redeemed shall be equal to $2,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless provided otherwise in any supplemental indenture with respect to any
particular series of Securities. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar in writing of the Securities
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. 

Section 11.05 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. 

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 3.01, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security Register. Redemption notices may
be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. As long as the Securities are issued in global form, notices to be
given to Holders will be given to the Depositary, in accordance with its applicable policies as in effect from time to time. 
 All notices
of redemption shall state: 
 (a) the Redemption Date; 

(b) the Redemption Price or the method by which such Redemption Price shall be determined; 

(c) if less than all Outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

 (d) in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that after the Redemption
Date upon surrender of such Security, new Security or Securities in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued; 

(e) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price; 

(f) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed,
and that (unless the Company shall default in payment of the Redemption Price) interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date; 

(g) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the offices or agencies referred to in Section 10.02 where such Securities are
to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; 

  
 66 








 (h) the CUSIP number, if any, relating to such Securities; and 

(i) the procedures that a Holder must follow to surrender the Securities to be redeemed. 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s
written request delivered at least 15 days prior to the date such notice is to be given (unless a shorter period shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. If the Company elects to
give notice of redemption, it shall provide the Trustee with a certificate stating that such notice has been given in compliance with the requirements of this Section 11.05. 

The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been 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 Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other
Security. 
 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Securities called for redemption become
irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 
 Section 11.06 DEPOSIT
OF REDEMPTION PRICE. 
 At or prior to 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or
with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of its Affiliates is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and
(except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date or Special Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the applicable series of Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly
return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed. The Paying Agent shall promptly
mail or deliver to Holders of Securities so redeemed payment in an amount equal to the Redemption Price of the Securities. Subject to Section 6.01(f), all money, if any, earned on funds held in trust by the Trustee or any Paying Agent
shall be remitted to the Company. 
 Section 11.07 SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE. 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities of any series so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due
and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities of such series (except as otherwise specified pursuant
to Section 3.01) shall cease to bear interest. 
 Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said
notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is


  
 67 








 
on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates or Special
Record Dates according to the terms and the provisions of Section 3.08. 
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so
paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and premium, if any, shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by such Security. 

Section 11.08 SECURITIES REDEEMED OR PURCHASED IN PART. 

Any Security which is to be redeemed or purchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Paying Agent at the office or agency maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 10.02 (with, if the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar or the
Trustee, as the case may be, duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without
service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered that is not
redeemed or purchased. 
 ARTICLE XII

any series hereunder specified in such Company Request, and the Trustee, upon Company Request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States 

  
 68 








 
Dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in United States Dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient (in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee) to pay and discharge (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) the entire Indebtedness on the
Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on, the Securities of such series to such Maturity, or Redemption Date; 

(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the
deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; 

(c) the Company or any Guarantor of the Securities of such series has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by it hereunder; 

(d) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of
the Securities of such series at Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and 
 (e) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) all conditions precedent herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge hereof have been complied with, (ii) no Default with respect to the Securities of such
series has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit and (iii) such deposit does not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, the Indenture. 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge hereof, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Sections 6.06 and 6.07
and, if United States dollars shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Clause (2) of Subsection (a) of this Section 12.01, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 12.02 and the last

Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities for whose payment such United States dollars have been deposited with the Trustee. Money and U.S. Government
Obligations so held in trust shall not be subject to the provisions of Article XIV. 
 Section 12.03 REPAYMENT TO THE COMPANY. 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, or

 69 








 
paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as Trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 

ARTICLE XIII 

GUARANTEES 
 Section 13.01
SECURITIES GUARANTEE. 
 As and to the extent set forth in a supplemental indenture established as contemplated by
Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, one or more persons (each, a “Guarantor”) may guarantee that series of Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such supplemental
indenture. 
 ARTICLE XIV 

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES 

Section 14.01 SECURITIES SUBORDINATE TO SENIOR DEBT. 

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent
and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article (subject to the provisions of Article IV and Article XIII), the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on each and all of the Securities are hereby
expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt. 
 Section 14.02 PAYMENT OVER OF
PROCEEDS UPON DISSOLUTION, ETC. 
 In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Company, then and in any such event specified in (a),
(b) or (c) above (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”) the holders of Senior Debt will be first entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all
Senior Debt, or provision shall be made for such payment, in cash or Cash Equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of
any kind or character, on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or other obligations in respect of the Securities or on account of any purchase or other acquisition of Securities by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company
(all such payments, distributions, purchases and acquisitions herein referred to, individually and collectively, as a “Securities Payment”), and to that end the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive, for application to
the payment thereof, any Securities Payment which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities in any such Proceeding. 

  
 70 








 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Trustee receives
payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, before all the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, then and in such event such Securities Payment shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the
trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to
pay the Senior Debt in full in cash or Cash Equivalents. 
 For purposes of this Article only, the words “any payment or distribution
of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include a payment or distribution of stock or securities of the Company provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment authorized by an order or
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in a reorganization proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law or of any other corporation provided for by such plan of reorganization or readjustment which stock or securities are subordinated in
right of payment to all then outstanding Senior Debt to at least the same extent as the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article; provided, however, that (a) if a new corporation results from such reorganization or
readjustment, such corporation assumes any Senior Debt not paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents in connection with such reorganization or readjustment and (b) the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt are not, without the consent of
such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of all or
substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article VIII shall not be deemed a Proceeding for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply
with the conditions set forth in Article VIII. 
 Section 14.03 NO PAYMENT WHEN SENIOR DEBT IN DEFAULT. 

In the event that any Senior Payment Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Securities Payment shall be
made unless and until such Senior Payment Default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist or all amounts then due and payable in respect of Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, or provision shall have been made for such
payment, in cash or Cash Equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt. “Senior Payment Default” means any default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Debt
when due, whether at the Maturity thereof or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. 
 In the event that any
Senior Nonmonetary Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such Senior Nonmonetary Default from the representatives of holders of the Designated
Senior Debt to which such default relates, the Company may not make any payments (other than 

  
 71 








 
payments previously made pursuant to Article Fifteen) on account of the Securities or on account of the purchase or redemption or other acquisition of Securities for a period (the
“blockage period”) commencing on the date the Company and Trustee receive such written notice and ending on the earlier of (a) the 179th day after the date of such receipt of such written notice and (b) the date, if any,
on which the Designated Senior Debt to which such default relates is discharged or such default is waived or otherwise cured. In any event, not more than one blockage period may be commenced during any period of 360 consecutive days and there shall
be a period of at least 181 consecutive days in each period of 360 consecutive days when no blockage period is in effect. For all purposes of this paragraph, no Senior Nonmonetary Default that existed or was continuing on the date of commencement of
any blockage period with respect to the Designated Senior Debt initiating such blockage period will be, or can be, made the basis for the commencement of a subsequent blockage period unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not
less than 180 consecutive days. “Senior Nonmonetary Default” means the occurrence or existence and continuance of any event of default, or of any event which, after notice or lapse of time (or both), would become an event of
default, under the terms of any instrument pursuant to which any Designated Senior Debt is outstanding, permitting (after notice or lapse of time or both) one or more holders of such Senior Debt (or a trustee or agent on behalf of the holders
thereof) to declare such Senior Debt due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable, other than a Senior Payment Default. 

In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of, or interest on any Senior Debt beyond any applicable
grace period with respect thereto, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing permitting the holders of such Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to declare
such Senior Debt, and shall have resulted in such Senior Debt becoming or being declared, due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or
waived or shall have ceased to exist, or in the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such default in payment or event of default, then no Securities Payment shall be made. 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any Securities Payment to the Trustee or any Holder prohibited by the
foregoing provisions of this Section, then and in such event, subject to Section 14.04, such Securities Payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the holders of the Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay
in full all the Senior Debt. 
 The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any Securities Payment with respect to which
Section 14.02 would be applicable. 
 Section 14.04 PAYMENT PERMITTED IF NO DEFAULT. 

Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time
except during the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 14.02 or under the conditions described in Section 14.03, from making Securities Payments, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any money deposited
with it hereunder to Securities Payments or the retention of such Securities Payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge that such Securities Payment would have been prohibited by the
provisions of this Article. 

  
 72 








 Section 14.05 SUBROGATION TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT. 

Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of Senior Debt, or the provision for such payment, in cash
or Cash Equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all Indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is
subordinated to Indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made to holders of such
Senior Debt) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be
paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of
this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of
the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt. 
 Section 14.06 PROVISIONS SOLELY TO
DEFINE RELATIVE RIGHTS. 
 The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of
the Holders on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other
than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of, and interest on, the Securities as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt; or (c) prevent the Trustee or
the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities
otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder. 
 Section 14.07 TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION. 

Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary
or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

  
 73 








 Section 14.08 NO WAIVER OF SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS. 

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture,
regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 Without in any way limiting the generality of
the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and
without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of
payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew, increase or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding;
(b) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior Debt; and (d) exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person. 
 Section 14.09 NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. 

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to
or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of
any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt or from any trustee therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this
Section at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security),
then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to
the contrary which may be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date. 
 Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder
of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution
pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish 

  
 74 








 
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to
receive such payment. 
 Section 14.10 RELIANCE ON JUDICIAL ORDER OR CERTIFICATE OF LIQUIDATING AGENT. 

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Section 6.01, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent
thereto or to this Article. 
 Section 14.11 TRUSTEE NOT FIDUCIARY FOR HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT. 

The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if it
shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. 

Section 14.12 RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS HOLDER OF SENIOR DEBT; PRESERVATION OF TRUSTEE’S RIGHTS. 

The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Debt which may
at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 

Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.07. 

Section 14.13 ARTICLE APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENTS. 

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term
“Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were
named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 14.13 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. 

  
 75 








 Section 14.14 DEFEASANCE OF THIS ARTICLE XIV. 

The subordination of the Securities provided by this Article is expressly made subject to the provisions for defeasance or covenant defeasance
in Article Four hereof and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the effectiveness of any such defeasance or covenant defeasance, the Securities then outstanding shall thereupon cease to be subordinated pursuant to this
Article XIV.

 The GEO Group, Inc., a Florida

                     ($        ) United States dollars on
                    , at the office or agency of the Company referred to below, and to pay interest thereon from
                    , or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually on and in each
year, commencing at the rate of                      (    %) per annum, in United States dollars, until the principal hereof
is paid or duly provided for. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 The Company
shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on              and              of each year, or if any such day is not a Business
Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose
name this Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the                      or

 Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, this Security, and exchange or transfer of this Security, will be made at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York maintained for such purpose (which initially will be a Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent and
Security Registrar), or at such other office or agency as may be maintained for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided,
however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]* 

THE GEO GROUP, INC. 

                    
(    %) Note due 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its
                     (    %) Notes due
                     (herein called the “Securities”), limited (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture referred to below) in
aggregate principal amount to                      ($        ), issued under and subject to the terms of an
indenture (herein called the “Indenture”) dated as of                     ,         ,
between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are,
and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 
 If less than all of the applicable series of Securities are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date. If less than all of the Securities of any series are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select Securities
of such series for redemption as follows: 
 (1) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed; or 
 (2) if the Securities are not listed on
any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered), by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate in accordance with DTC procedures. No Securities of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. The
amounts to be redeemed shall be equal to $2,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless provided otherwise in any supplemental indenture with respect to any particular series of Securities. 

In the case of any redemption of Securities in accordance with the Indenture, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of Record of such Securities as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof or Special Record Date, as applicable. Securities (or portions thereof)
for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date. 

In the event of redemption or repurchase of this Security in accordance with the Indenture in part only, a new Security or Securities for the
unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the principal amount of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

  
 A-4 








 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire Indebtedness
on the Securities and (b) certain covenants and Defaults and Events of Default, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein. 

The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Debt, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be
bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and
all such purposes. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions (including certain amendments permitted without the consent of any
Holders and certain amendments which require the consent of all of the Holders) as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture and the
Securities at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series (100% of the Holders of such series in certain circumstances) at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such affected
series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and the Securities of such series and certain past Defaults and Events of Default under the Indenture and the Securities of such series and their consequences. Any
such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security 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 Security. 
 No reference herein to the
Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities (in the event such other obligor is obligated to make payments in respect of the Securities),
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Security at the times, place, 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 Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities in certificated form are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Securities of a differing authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

  
 A-5 








 Except as indicated in the Indenture, no service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

No director, officer, manager, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member or partner of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any
liability for any obligations of the Company or of the Guarantors under the Securities, the Indenture or the Guarantees, if any, of the Securities, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal
securities laws. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security 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 Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary. 
 THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
