The Base Indenture together with, and as amended and supplemented by, the Officer’s Certificate (the “Series Officer’s Certificate”), dated as of November 17, 2020, establishing the terms of the Notes and of which this Annex A forms a part, is referred to herein as the “Indenture”.  Certain defined terms are set forth in paragraph 18(k) hereof.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Series Officer’s Certificate shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture.
1.    Designation.  Two series of Securities are hereby established under the Base Indenture and shall be known and designated as the “2.200% Senior Notes due 2028” and the “2.850% Senior Notes due 2032”.
2.    Initial Aggregate Principal Amount.  The 2028 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000 and the 2032 Notes shall be limited in initial aggregate principal amount to $700,000,000, in each case, except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of such series pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 3.03 and 9.04 of the Indenture.
3.    Maturity.  The date on which the principal of the 2028 Notes is payable is June 15, 2028 and the date on which the principal of the 2032 Notes is payable is December 15, 2032 (in each case, the “Stated Maturity Date” of each such series).

The 2028 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 2.200% per annum until the principal thereof is paid and the 2032 Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 2.850% per annum until the principal thereof is paid.  Such interest shall be payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 15, 2021, to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1 (each, a “Regular Record Date”), as the case may be.

The 2028 Notes will be issued at a price equal to 98.881% of the principal amount thereof and the 2032 Notes will be issued at a price equal to 98.928% of the principal amount thereof.  100% of the principal of and accrued interest, if any, on each series of Notes shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Indenture.

In addition, with respect to the Notes only, each reference to “this Indenture” in Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture shall also be deemed to include the 2028 Notes or the 2032 Notes, as applicable, and this Officer’s Certificate.
In addition, with respect to the Notes only, the following language included in Section 7.02 of the Base Indenture: “If a Default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the holders of Securities of such series notice of such Default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act;” shall be replaced in its entirety with: “If a Default occurs hereunder with respect to the 2028 Notes or the 2032 Notes and is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders of the 2028 Notes or the 2032 Notes, as the case may be, notice of such Default within the earlier of (a) 90 days and (b) as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act;”.
18.    Covenants.  There shall be the following additions, replacements, amendments and supplements, as the case may be, to the covenants of the Issuer set forth in Article IV of the Base Indenture solely with respect to each series of Notes:
(a)    Limitation on Incurrence of Total Debt.  This paragraph (a) will be an addition to Article IV of the Base Indenture with respect to each series of Notes. Parent will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 65% of the sum of (1) the Total Assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the latest fiscal quarter covered in Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not required under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt, and (2) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), in each case by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt.
(b)    Limitation on Incurrence of Secured Debt.  This paragraph (b) will be an addition to Article IV of the Base Indenture with respect to each series of Notes. Parent will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt that is secured by a Lien) if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the aggregate 
A-3

principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 40% of the sum of (1) the Total Assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the latest fiscal quarter covered in Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not required under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt, and (2) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), in each case by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt.
(c)    Debt Service Coverage.  This paragraph (c) will be an addition to Article IV of the Base Indenture with respect to each series of Notes.  Parent will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt), if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service Charge for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred is less than 1.5 to 1.0, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the following assumptions:  (1) such Debt and any other Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) incurred by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom (including to refinance other Debt since the first day of such four-quarter period) had occurred on the first day of such period, (2) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period), and (3) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by Parent or any Subsidiary of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, including, without limitation, by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition had occurred on the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.  If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the foregoing calculation or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt shall be computed on a pro forma basis by applying the average daily rate which would have been in effect during the entire such four-quarter period to the greater of the amount of such Debt outstanding at the end of such period or the average amount of such Debt outstanding during such period.
(d)    Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets.  This paragraph (d) will be an addition to Article IV of the Base Indenture with respect to each series of Notes. Parent and its Subsidiaries will not have at any time Total Unencumbered Assets of less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the outstanding Unsecured Debt of Parent and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.
(e)    Provision of Financial Information.  This paragraph (e) shall supplement Section 5.03 of the Base Indenture with respect to each series of Notes.
A-4

(1)    Whether or not the Issuer is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and for so long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee (1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports and (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports, in each case, within 15 days after the Issuer files such reports with the Commission or would be required to file such reports with the Commission (for the avoidance of doubt, giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, whichever is earlier (in each case, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such documents or reports (or portions thereof) that are subject to confidential treatment and any correspondence with the Commission).  Reports, information and documents filed with the Commission via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes of this covenant; provided, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed via EDGAR.  Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee 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.
(2)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the rules and regulations of the Commission (including Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X) permit the Issuer and Parent to report at Parent entity’s level on a consolidated basis, and Parent entity is not engaged in any business in any material respect, other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly of the capital stock of the Issuer, then the information and reports required by this covenant may be those of Parent on a consolidated basis, rather than those of the Issuer.
(f)    Future Subsidiary Guarantors.  This paragraph (f) will be an addition to Article IV of the Base Indenture with respect to each series of Notes. Parent shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that (a) owns, directly or indirectly, any Equity Interests issued by the Issuer, or (b) guarantees other Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate pursuant to which such Subsidiary will unconditionally guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the due and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, when and as the same become due and payable, whether on the maturity date, by declaration of acceleration, upon redemption, repurchase or otherwise, and all of the Issuer’s other obligations under the Indenture, as provided in Article XIII of the Indenture. 
(g)    Maintenance of Properties.  This paragraph (g) shall replace Section 4.06 of the Base Indenture with respect to each series of Notes.  
Each of Parent and the Issuer shall cause its material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary of Parent to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order, normal wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted, and supplied with all necessary equipment and will require it to cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements to those properties, as in its judgment may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection with those properties may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, that Parent and 
A-5

its Subsidiaries shall not be prevented from (1) removing permanently any property that has been condemned or suffered casualty loss, (2) discontinuing any maintenance or operation of any property if, in Parent’s reasonable judgment, such removal is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes or (3) selling or otherwise disposing of these properties for value in the ordinary course of business.
(h)    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. This paragraph (h) shall replace Section 4.08 of the Base Indenture with respect to each series of Notes.  Parent shall pay or discharge (or, if applicable, cause to be transferred to bond or other security) or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed on each of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of each of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that Parent shall not be required to pay or discharge (or transfer to bond or other security) or cause to be paid or discharged any material tax, assessment or charge, (a) the applicability or validity of which it is contesting in good faith through appropriate proceedings and for which it has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) where the failure to effect such payment is not, in Parent’s reasonable judgment, adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
(i)    Supplemental Indentures Without the Consent of Securityholders. With respect to each series of Notes, Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture is replaced with the following:
In addition to any supplemental indenture otherwise authorized by this Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent of the Securityholders of such series, for one or more of the following purposes:
(1)to cure any ambiguity or to correct any defect or inconsistency in the Indenture or in the Securities of any series, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of Holders of any series of Securities in any material respect;

(2)to evidence the succession of another Person to the obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor to the extent such succession is permitted by Article X;  

(3)to add to the covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions relating to the Issuer or the Guarantors for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series), to add Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of  Securities, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

(4)to make any change or eliminate any provision in the Indenture; provided that any such change or elimination does not apply to any Outstanding Securities of a series that are entitled to the benefit of such provision;

(5)to secure the Securities of all or any series of Securities or add a Guarantor;

(8)to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate defeasance, covenant defeasance and discharge of Securities of any series; provided, however, that this action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities of any such series in any material respect;

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuer in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
    Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed by the Issuer and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02.

A-11

leased or converted all or substantially all of its assets or (y) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its capital stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary;

VEREIT OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a limited partnership duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter referred to as “Issuer,” which term includes any successor thereof under the Indenture (as defined on the reverse hereof)), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [          ] ($[           ]) on June 15, 2028 (the “Stated Maturity Date” with respect to the principal of this Note), unless previously redeemed on any Redemption Date (as defined below) in accordance with the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof (the Stated Maturity Date or any Redemption Date is referred herein as the “Maturity Date” with respect to principal repayable or repurchased on such date) and to pay interest thereon semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 15, 2021, at the rate of 2.200% per annum, until payment of said principal has been made or duly provided for.  Interest on this Note payable on an Interest Payment Date will accrue from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly made available for payment, or from and including November 17, 2020 if no interest has been paid or duly made available for payment, to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.  Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly made available for payment on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Holder in which name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the Security Register at the close of business on the “Regular Record Date” for such payment, which shall be the June 1 and December 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether such day is a Business Day (as defined below)).  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly made available for payment shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a subsequent “Special Record Date” for the payment of such defaulted interest (which shall be not more than 5 Business Days prior to the date of the payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes not less than 15 calendar days preceding such subsequent Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
The principal of, and premium, if any, with respect to, this Note payable on the Maturity Date will be paid against presentation and surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or other office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.  The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (as defined on the reverse hereof) as the office to be maintained by it where Notes may be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange and where notices or demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes or the Indenture may be served.
Exh. A-2

If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment required to be made on such date will, instead, be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a day on which Federal or State banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.
Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts (i) in the case of payments on the Maturity Date, in immediately available funds, and (ii) in the case of payments of interest on an Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date, (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States of America, or (b) if no wire transfer is provided, by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the applicable address appearing in the Security Register; provided, however, that so long as Cede & Co. is the Holder of this Note, payments of interest on an Interest Payment Date may be made in immediately available funds.
Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof.  Such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
VEREIT OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P. 
 
2.200% Senior Notes due 2028
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Issuer (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of February 6, 2014, duly executed and delivered by the Issuer (f/k/a ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P.), VEREIT, Inc. (f/k/a American Realty Capital Properties, Inc.) (“Parent”), and certain other parties named therein to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), together with the Officer’s Certificate amending and supplementing the Base Indenture and establishing the terms of the Notes and another series of Securities designated as the 2.200% Senior Notes due 2028, dated as of November 17, 2020 (collectively with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, and all modifications and amendments and indentures supplemental thereto relating to the Notes, made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Guarantor(s) and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of a series of Securities designated as the 2.200% Senior Notes due 2028 (collectively, the “Notes”) of the Issuer, limited (except as permitted under the Indenture) in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000.
Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor(s).
Optional Redemption. The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time at its option at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(a)    100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and
(b)    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on April 15, 2028 (the “Par Call Date”) but for the redemption thereof (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points,
plus, in the case of both clauses (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”); provided that if the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable to the persons who were the Holders of the Notes (or one or more predecessor Notes) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date as set forth above and in Article III of the Indenture.
Exh. A-5

As used herein (and to the extent any such definitions conflict with definitions included in the Base Indenture, the definitions included here shall control with respect to the Notes):
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed calculated as if the Stated Maturity Date were the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of such Notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes:
(a)    if the Issuer obtains seven Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or
(b)    if the Issuer obtains fewer than seven but more than one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or
(c)    if the Issuer obtains only one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation for such Redemption Date, that Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer has appointed to act as the “Independent Investment Banker”.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, each of (i) Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and their respective successors (provided, however, that if any such firm or any such successor, as the case may be, ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in The City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer), and (ii) one other Primary Treasury Dealer, if any, selected by the Issuer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date for the Notes, the average, as determined by the Issuer, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Issuer by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the date the notice of such redemption is given.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes:
(a)    the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and 
Exh. A-6

the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month), or
(b)    if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Issuer on the third Business Day preceding the date the notice of redemption is given.
Notice of Redemption. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.  Notices of redemption will be mailed (or in the case of Global Securities, given pursuant to applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)) at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed or given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes.  If less than all of the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, so long as such Notes are in book-entry form, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, or, if such Notes are issued in definitive certificated form, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, (a) the Issuer shall give the Trustee five days’ notice (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date of delivery of the notice of redemption to the Holders and (b) the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of Notes upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption (subject to satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent).
Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
This Note is not mandatorily redeemable and is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provisions.
Miscellaneous. In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be (and, in certain cases, shall be) declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and, if applicable, the Guarantors, and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and, if applicable, the Guarantors, and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of Securities of each series (voting as separate classes) issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding and affected thereby. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and 
Exh. A-7

binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof, or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
With respect to the Notes, Article XII of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Issuer, the Trustee or the Holders.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, with respect to, and interest on, this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance and discharge and for defeasance at any time of certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to Notes of this series upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in definitive registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  This Note may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Issuer in The City of New York, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided herein and in the Indenture, but without the payment of any charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
The Issuer shall not pay additional amounts on this Note held by a Person that is not a U.S. Person in respect of taxes or similar charges withheld or deducted.
The Issuer, the Guarantor(s) or the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor(s) or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the Holder and absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of, or premium, if any, with respect to, or subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest on, this Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantor(s) or the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor(s) or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
THE INDENTURE AND THIS NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE.

VEREIT OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a limited partnership duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter referred to as “Issuer,” which term includes any successor thereof under the Indenture (as defined on the reverse hereof)), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [          ] ($[           ]) on December 15, 2032 (the “Stated Maturity Date” with respect to the principal of this Note), unless previously redeemed on any Redemption Date (as defined below) in accordance with the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof (the Stated Maturity Date or any Redemption Date is referred herein as the “Maturity Date” with respect to principal repayable or repurchased on such date) and to pay interest thereon semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 15, 2021, at the rate of 2.850% per annum, until payment of said principal has been made or duly provided for.  Interest on this Note payable on an Interest Payment Date will accrue from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly made available for payment, or from and including November 17, 2020 if no interest has been paid or duly made available for payment, to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.  Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly made available for payment on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Holder in which name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the Security Register at the close of business on the “Regular Record Date” for such payment, which shall be the June 1 and December 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether such day is a Business Day (as defined below)).  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly made available for payment shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a subsequent “Special Record Date” for the payment of such defaulted interest (which shall be not more than 5 Business Days prior to the date of the payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of the Notes not less than 15 calendar days preceding such subsequent Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
The principal of, and premium, if any, with respect to, this Note payable on the Maturity Date will be paid against presentation and surrender of this Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or other office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.  The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (as defined on the reverse hereof) as the office to be maintained by it where Notes may be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange and where notices or demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes or the Indenture may be served.
Exh. B-2

If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment required to be made on such date will, instead, be made on the next Business Day with the same force and effect as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.  “Business Day” means any day, other than a day on which Federal or State banking institutions in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located, are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.
Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts (i) in the case of payments on the Maturity Date, in immediately available funds, and (ii) in the case of payments of interest on an Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date, (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States of America, or (b) if no wire transfer is provided, by check mailed to the Holder entitled thereto at the applicable address appearing in the Security Register; provided, however, that so long as Cede & Co. is the Holder of this Note, payments of interest on an Interest Payment Date may be made in immediately available funds.
Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof.  Such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.
This Note shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or the Guarantee or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by manual signature by the Trustee.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
VEREIT OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P. 
 
2.850% Senior Notes due 2032
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Issuer (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of February 6, 2014, duly executed and delivered by the Issuer (f/k/a ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P.), VEREIT, Inc. (f/k/a American Realty Capital Properties, Inc.) (“Parent”), and certain other parties named therein to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part), together with the Officer’s Certificate amending and supplementing the Base Indenture and establishing the terms of the Notes and another series of Securities designated as the 2.850% Senior Notes due 2032, dated as of November 17, 2020 (collectively with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, and all modifications and amendments and indentures supplemental thereto relating to the Notes, made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Guarantor(s) and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of a series of Securities designated as the 2.850% Senior Notes due 2032 (collectively, the “Notes”) of the Issuer, limited (except as permitted under the Indenture) in aggregate principal amount to $700,000,000.
Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor(s).
Optional Redemption. The Issuer may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time at its option at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(a)    100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and
(b)    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such Notes matured on September 15, 2032 (the “Par Call Date”) but for the redemption thereof (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable Redemption Date) discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points,
plus, in the case of both clauses (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”); provided that if the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable to the persons who were the Holders of the Notes (or one or more predecessor Notes) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date as set forth above and in Article III of the Indenture.
Exh. B-5

As used herein (and to the extent any such definitions conflict with definitions included in the Base Indenture, the definitions included here shall control with respect to the Notes):
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed calculated as if the Stated Maturity Date were the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of such Notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes:
(a)    if the Issuer obtains seven Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, the average of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or
(b)    if the Issuer obtains fewer than seven but more than one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or
(c)    if the Issuer obtains only one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation for such Redemption Date, that Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation.
“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer has appointed to act as the “Independent Investment Banker”.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes, each of (i) Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and their respective successors (provided, however, that if any such firm or any such successor, as the case may be, ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in The City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuer shall substitute therefor another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer), and (ii) one other Primary Treasury Dealer, if any, selected by the Issuer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date for the Notes, the average, as determined by the Issuer, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Issuer by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the date the notice of such redemption is given.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for the Notes:
(a)    the yield, under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life of the Notes, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and 
Exh. B-6

the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month), or
(b)    if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Issuer on the third Business Day preceding the date the notice of redemption is given.
Notice of Redemption. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.  Notices of redemption will be mailed (or in the case of Global Securities, given pursuant to applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)) at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed or given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes.  If less than all of the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, so long as such Notes are in book-entry form, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, or, if such Notes are issued in definitive certificated form, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, (a) the Issuer shall give the Trustee five days’ notice (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date of delivery of the notice of redemption to the Holders and (b) the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of Notes upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption (subject to satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent).
Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
This Note is not mandatorily redeemable and is not entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or any analogous provisions.
Miscellaneous. In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be (and, in certain cases, shall be) declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions, provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and, if applicable, the Guarantors, and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and, if applicable, the Guarantors, and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of Securities of each series (voting as separate classes) issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding and affected thereby. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and 
Exh. B-7

binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof, or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
With respect to the Notes, Article XII of the Indenture shall not be applicable to the Issuer, the Trustee or the Holders.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, with respect to, and interest on, this Note in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance and discharge and for defeasance at any time of certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to Notes of this series upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in definitive registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  This Note may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the Issuer in The City of New York, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided herein and in the Indenture, but without the payment of any charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
The Issuer shall not pay additional amounts on this Note held by a Person that is not a U.S. Person in respect of taxes or similar charges withheld or deducted.
The Issuer, the Guarantor(s) or the Trustee and any authorized agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor(s) or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the Holder and absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of, or premium, if any, with respect to, or subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest on, this Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantor(s) or the Trustee or any authorized agent of the Issuer, the Guarantor(s) or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
THE INDENTURE AND THIS NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE.
