Section 8. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Company Party, nor any such Company Party’s directors, managers, and officers, to take or refrain from taking any action in its capacity as a director, manager, or officer of such Company Party (including, without limitation, terminating this Agreement under Section 5), to the extent any such Person determines, in good faith, based on the advice of outside counsel (including counsel to the Company Parties) that taking or failing to take such action would be inconsistent with applicable law or his, her, or its fiduciary obligations under applicable law, and any such action or inaction pursuant to this Section 8 will not constitute a breach of this Agreement (but may, for the avoidance of doubt, result in a Termination Event). The Company Parties shall provide written notice to the other Parties promptly, but in any event within 24 hours, following any determination by a Company Party or its directors, managers, or officers to take or refrain from taking any action that would otherwise be prohibited or required, respectively, by this Agreement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.

Section 9. Miscellaneous.

Section 9.1 Entire Agreement; Prior Negotiations. This Agreement, including all of the exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements, representations, warranties, term sheets, proposals, and understandings, whether written, oral, or implied, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, however, that any confidentiality agreement or non-disclosure agreement between any Company Party and any Consenting Creditor will survive the entry into this Agreement and will continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms thereof, notwithstanding any of the terms hereof.

Section 9.2 Reservation of Rights. This Agreement constitutes a proposed settlement among the Parties. Regardless of whether or not the Transaction is consummated, or whether or not a Termination Date occurs, if applicable, nothing shall be construed herein as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights or remedies, and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights and remedies. Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, any applicable state rule of evidence, and any other applicable law, neither this Agreement nor any negotiations relating hereto may be admitted into evidence in any proceeding other than in a proceeding to enforce this Agreement or as a defense in connection with such a proceeding. This Agreement shall not be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Party for any claim, fault, liability, or damages whatsoever. Each Party denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims or defenses that it has asserted or could assert. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein does or is intended to, in any manner, waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of each Party to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, each Party reserves any and all of its rights, remedies, and interests in the case of any claim for a breach of this Agreement.

42

Section 9.3 Representation by Counsel. Each Party acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel (or had the opportunity to be represented by counsel and waived its right to do so) in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party hereto with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon the lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effectuate the intent of the Parties hereto. None of the Parties hereto shall have any term or provision of this Agreement construed against such Party solely by reason of such Party having drafted the same.

Section 9.4 Independent Due Diligence and Decision-Making. Each Consenting Creditor acknowledges that it has made its own decision to execute this Agreement and Participate in the Transaction based upon its own independent assessment of the documents and information available to it, as it has deemed appropriate.

Section 9.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the counterparts may be delivered by email in portable document format (.pdf) or by electronic signature.

Section 9.6 Amendments.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be modified, amended, or supplemented, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, without the prior written consent of the Company Parties and the Required Consenting Creditors; provided that (i) the definitions of “Required Consenting Creditors,” “Required Consenting Revolving Credit Lenders,” “Required Consenting Senior Noteholders,” or “Required Consenting Term Lenders” may not be amended or otherwise modified without the written consent of each Consenting Creditor; (ii)(A) the section titled “Voting” of the Credit Facility Transaction Term Sheet may not be amended or otherwise modified without the written consent of each Consenting Revolving Credit Lender and Consenting Term Lender adversely affected thereby, and (B) neither the Transaction Term Sheet nor the Credit Facility Transaction Term Sheet may be amended or modified, nor any provision thereof waived, in a manner that would have the same effect as an amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of the Exchange Credit Agreement addressed in the section titled “Voting” of the Credit Facility Transaction Term Sheet, without the written consent of the number of Required Consenting Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Consenting Term Lenders (as the case may be) that would be required to adopt such amendment, modification, or waiver of the Exchange Credit Agreement pursuant to such section titled “Voting” (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendments, modifications, or waivers to the Transaction Term Sheet or Credit Facility Transaction Term Sheet that would reduce the consideration provided to any Consenting Revolving Credit Lender or Consenting Term Lender, without the consent of such Consenting Revolving Credit Lender or Consenting Term Lender); (iii) Section 5.7(b) and this Section 9.6 may not be amended without the written consent of each Company Party and each Consenting Creditor, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.6(a); (iv) the written consent of each Consenting Creditor shall be required for any amendments, modifications, or other changes to Section 6 or Exhibits B, C, or D; (v) Sections 3.2(a)(ii) and 5.5, the terms set forth under the heading “Non-Extending Revolving Credit Lenders” in the Transaction Term Sheet, and all defined terms specifically related to the subject matter thereof may not be amended without the written consent of each Non-Extending Revolving Credit Lender; and (vi) Section 3.2(a)(iii), the terms set forth under the heading “Non-Extending Revolving Credit Lenders” in the Transaction Term Sheet, and all defined terms specifically related to the subject matter thereof may not be amended without the written consent of each Non-Extending Revolving Credit Lender Assignee.

43

(b) No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, whether or not such provisions are similar, nor shall any waiver of a provision of this Agreement be deemed a continuing waiver of such provision.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, where written consent is required pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement, such written consent shall be deemed to have occurred if it is conveyed in writing (with email being sufficient) between counsel to the Administrative Agent, counsel to the Ad Hoc Groups, and counsel to the Company Parties (to the extent applicable), and without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.

Section 9.7 Headings. The headings of the sections, paragraphs, and subsections of this Agreement are included for convenience only and will not affect the interpretation of the provisions contained herein.

Section 9.8 Acknowledgments; Obligations Several. Notwithstanding that this Agreement is being executed by the Administrative Agent and multiple Consenting Creditors, the obligations of such Parties under this Agreement are several and neither joint nor joint and several. Without limiting the obligations of each Consenting Revolving Credit Lender and Consenting Term Lender under Section 9.19, the Administrative Agent and Consenting Creditors will not be responsible for the performance of the obligations or any breach of any other Consenting Creditor or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and no presumption will arise from anything contained herein or any action taken by the Administrative Agent or any Consenting Creditor that the Consenting Creditors (including the Administrative Agent) constitute a partnership, an association, or joint venture. No presumption will arise from anything contained herein or any action taken by the Consenting Creditors that the Consenting Creditors are otherwise acting other than in their individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and Consenting Creditors shall not have any fiduciary duty to any other Consenting Creditor, the Administrative Agent, the Company Parties, or the Company Parties’ other lenders, noteholders, stockholders, or other stakeholders as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Consenting Creditor acknowledges that no other Consenting Creditor will be acting as agent of such Consenting Creditor in connection with monitoring such Consenting Creditor’s investment or enforcing its rights under this Agreement, the Definitive Documents, or any other documents to be entered into in connection with the consummation of the Transaction. The Consenting Creditors are not intended to be, and will not be deemed to be, a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

Section 9.9 Specific Performance; Damages. The Parties understand, acknowledge, and agree that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and, thus, that each non-breaching Party will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief to remedy any such breach, including an order, of a court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party or its representatives will be liable to any other Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special, or indirect damages, including the loss of future revenue or income or opportunity, relating to a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

44

APPENDIX 2

Description of the New Notes

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW NOTES

General

You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading “—Certain Definitions.” In this description, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to The GEO Group, Inc. and not to any of its Subsidiaries and references to the “Notes” refer to the 10.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2028 offered by this prospectus.

The Company will issue up to $504,289,000 of the Notes under an indenture (the “Indenture”), to be dated as of the Issue Date, by and among us, the Initial Guarantors and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and collateral trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture, the Security Documents (including the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement) and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below). It does not restate these agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture, the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement, the other Security Documents and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement that will be filed at a later date because those documents, and not this description, define your rights as a Holder of the Notes. A copy of the Indenture will be available from us at The GEO Group, Inc., 4955 Technology Way, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, Attn: Chief Financial Officer. Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under “—Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture or the applicable Security Documents.

The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders will have rights under the Indenture.

The Notes, the New Notes Guarantees and Priority

The Notes and the New Notes Guarantees will be:

As of March 31, 2022, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the Refinancing Transactions (assuming full participation in the Exchange Offers and approximately 81% participation in the Credit Agreement Exchange as more fully described in “Capitalization”), the Company and the Initial Guarantors would have had total consolidated indebtedness of approximately $2,263.1 million (excluding Non-Recourse Debt (as defined herein) of $317.5 million and $96.8 million of existing letters of credit, but including Capital Lease Obligations (as defined herein) of $3.2 million and other debt of $41.7 million) primarily consisting of $958.8 million of Secured Indebtedness under the Exchange Credit Agreement (including no borrowings outstanding under the revolver portion of the Exchange Credit Agreement (with $90.2 million of additional availability)), $303.8 million of Secured Indebtedness under the 2017 Credit Agreement (including $75.8 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolver portion of the 2017 Credit Agreement, with $11.2 million of additional availability), $110.9 million of the 2026 Notes, $230.0 million of the Exchangeable 2026 Notes, $239.1 million of the 2028 Private Exchange Notes and $375.5 million of the Notes.

Our subsidiaries that are not providing New Notes Guarantees generated approximately 9.5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues, 32.5% of the Company’s net income and 6.9% of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2021, and held approximately 13.9% of the Company’s consolidated assets as of December 31, 2021. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s subsidiaries that are not providing a New Notes Guarantee had $412.4 million of liabilities, including $305.6 million of indebtedness. Our subsidiaries that are not providing New Notes Guarantees (as defined herein) generated approximately 9.1% of the Company’s consolidated revenues, 20.8% of the Company’s net income and 8.3% of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and held approximately 12.6% of the Company’s consolidated assets as of March 31, 2022. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, the Company’s subsidiaries that are not providing a New Notes Guarantee had $425.8 million of liabilities, including $312.8 million of indebtedness. See “Capitalization.”

As of the date of the Indenture, all of the Company’s Subsidiaries (other than CSC of Tacoma, LLC, GEO International Holdings, Inc., Florina Insurance Company, GEO Design Services, Inc., certain dormant Domestic Subsidiaries and all of the Company’s Foreign Subsidiaries in existence as of the date of the Indenture) will be Restricted Subsidiaries, and each of the Company’s Subsidiaries that guarantees the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreements will guarantee the Notes. However, under the circumstances described below under the subheading “—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,” the Company will be permitted to designate other Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the restrictive covenants in the Indenture and will not guarantee the Notes.

The Notes will initially be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreements (collectively, the “Initial Guarantors”) and may be guaranteed by additional Subsidiaries of ours as described below under “—Certain Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees.”

The obligations of each Guarantor under its New Notes Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that New Notes Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. The Company cannot assure you that this limitation will protect the New Notes Guarantees from fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer challenges or, if it does, that the remaining amount due and collectible under the New Notes Guarantees would suffice, if necessary, to pay the Notes in full when due. If a New Notes Guarantee were avoided, it could be subordinated by a court to all other Indebtedness (including Guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such Indebtedness, a Guarantor’s liability on its New Notes Guarantee could be reduced to zero. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—Federal and state law may render the subsidiary guarantees of the New Notes and/or payments made under the subsidiary guarantees avoidable in specific circumstances, potentially requiring the holders to return payments received.”

Appendix 2 - 2

The New Notes Guarantee of a Guarantor may be released in certain circumstances. See “—Certain Covenants—Additional Note Guarantees.”

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Company will issue up to $504,289,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes in this offering. The Notes will mature on June 30, 2028. The Notes issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, redemptions of Notes, offers to purchase Notes and the percentage of Notes required to consent to waivers of provisions of, and amendments to, the Indenture. The Company will issue Notes only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 10.500% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31, commencing on December 31, 2022. The Company will make each interest payment to the Holders of record on the close of business on the immediately preceding June 15 and December 15. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to us, the Company will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

The Trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar for the Notes. The Company may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Company, registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of Notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

Security

Pursuant to the Security Documents and in accordance with the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in respect of the Notes will be secured, together with any future Second Lien Secured Obligations, by Liens on the Company’s and the Guarantors’ right, title and interest (i) substantially all their respective personal properties, now existing or hereafter acquired and wherever located, in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties, subject to certain “Excluded Property” (as such term is defined in the Exchange Credit Agreement), and (ii) the “Material Real Properties” (as such term is defined in the Exchange Credit Agreement). All such assets of the Company and the Guarantors (but in any event excluding the Excluded Property) are referred to herein as the “Collateral.” “Collateral” as defined hereunder shall not include any property or assets that do not

Appendix 2 - 4

constitute collateral securing the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Exchange Credit Agreement. In addition, the Security Documents will contain exceptions, limitations and materiality thresholds with respect to the requirements of the Company and Guarantors to take actions to perfect the Liens securing the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in respect of the Notes and the New Notes Guarantees. As a result, such Liens may not attach to or be perfected in certain of the Collateral, which could adversely affect the rights of the Holders with respect to such Collateral.

Such Liens shall be (i) junior in priority to the Liens on the Collateral securing the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Exchange Credit Agreement, (ii) junior in priority to the Liens on the Existing Collateral securing the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the 2017 Credit Agreement and (iii) subject to Permitted Liens.

Excluded Property includes, without limitation, (i) rights under any contracts, leases or other instruments that contain a valid and enforceable prohibition on assignment of such rights (except to the extent that any such prohibition would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law or principles of equity), but only for so long as such prohibition exists and is effective and valid; (ii) property and assets owned by the Company or any Guarantor that are the subject of Liens that secure Indebtedness incurred to finance the acquisition, construction or improvement of such property or assets or Liens on the GEO HQ granted pursuant to a real property mortgage, in each case that are permitted under the Exchange Credit Agreement, but only if and for so long as (w) such Liens are in effect, (x) the Indebtedness secured by such Liens constitutes Indebtedness permitted by the corresponding Indebtedness incurrence basket of the Exchange Credit Agreement, (y) the agreements or instruments evidencing or governing such Indebtedness prohibit the Indebtedness under the Exchange Credit Agreement from being secured by such assets and (z) no part of the Indebtedness under the Exchange Credit Agreement was used to finance the acquisition, construction or improvement of such assets; and (iii) any assets with respect to which, in the reasonable judgment of the administrative agent under the Exchange Credit Agreement and the Company (as agreed in writing), the cost or other adverse consequences (including adverse tax consequences) of pledging such assets would be excessive in relation to the benefits to be obtained by the lenders under the Exchange Credit Agreement therefrom.

Material Real Properties includes, without limitation, real property interests, including improvements, owned or leased by the Company or any Guarantor such that, after giving effect to the mortgages or deeds of trust on such real property interests, the collateral securing the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Exchange Credit Agreement (as may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms) includes (i) at least 90% of the net book value of the domestic real property interests of the Company and the Guarantors or (ii) each domestic real property interest of the Company and the Guarantors that has a net book value of $6.0 million or greater, whichever represents a greater proportion of the total net book value of the all domestic real property interest of the Company and the Guarantors.

Mortgages on the Company’s and the Guarantors’ right, title and interest in the Material Real Properties will not be in place and/or perfected as of the Issue Date. The Company will take all appropriate steps to have such mortgages in place and perfected within 150 days of the Issue Date. See “Risk Factors—Risks related to the New Secured Notes—Security over certain Collateral may not be in place by closing or may not be perfected by closing, and we will not be required to perfect security interests in some instances.”

Use of Collateral

Subject to the terms of the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement, the other Security Documents and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will have the right to remain in possession and retain control of the Collateral (other than certain possessory collateral required to be delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee (or the Designated First Priority Representative as bailee for the Second Lien Collateral Trustee pursuant to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the Security Documents), to freely operate the Collateral and to collect, invest and dispose of any income thereon.

Appendix 2 - 5

Release of Liens on Collateral

The Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that, automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person, the Liens on the Collateral will be released or will no longer secure the obligations under the Indenture:

An “Act of Required Second Priority Secured Parties” means direction from the holders of (or the Secured Debt Representative representing the holders of) more than 50% of the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes, (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount under any other Second Lien Secured Obligations (including the 2028 Private Exchange Notes) and (z) other than in connection with the exercise of remedies, the aggregate unfunded commitments to extend credit which, when funded, would constitute Indebtedness under the foregoing clause (y).

In addition, the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that, at the request and expense of the Company, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee will, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and applicable Security Documents:

Appendix 2 - 6

Certain limitations on the Collateral

There can be no assurance that the proceeds of any sale of Collateral following an acceleration of the Notes as a result of an Event of Default would be sufficient to satisfy, or would not be substantially less than, amounts due on the Notes and any other Indebtedness secured by the Collateral. The Holders of the Notes may not be able to unilaterally direct the Second Lien Collateral Trustee to take such actions (See “—Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement” and “—First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement”). Additionally, with respect to some of the Collateral, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee’s security interest and ability to foreclose will be limited by the need to meet certain requirements, such as obtaining third-party consents and making additional filings. For more information, see “Risk Factors—Risks related to the New Notes.”

Further assurances

The Indenture and the Security Documents will provide that the Company and each of the Guarantors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required, or that the Second Lien Collateral Trustee from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Second Lien Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties, duly created and enforceable and perfected Liens (subject to Permitted Liens and the terms of the Indenture, the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) upon the Company’s and the Guarantors’ right, title and interest in the Collateral (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become Collateral after the Notes are issued), in each case, as contemplated by, and in accordance with the Lien priority required under, the Indenture, the Security Documents and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

Upon the reasonable request of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee at any time and from time to time, the Company and each of the Guarantors will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such Security Documents, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as may be reasonably required, or that the Second Lien Collateral Trustee may reasonably deem necessary, to create, perfect, protect, assure or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case, as expressly required by the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Indenture and the Security Documents.

Neither the Trustee nor the Second Lien Collateral Trustee shall be responsible for (A) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the Liens granted under the Indenture, the Security Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (B) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing of any document, financing statement, financing statement amendment, registration, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (C) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to the Collateral. The actions described in clauses (A) through (C) above shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable.

Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement

On the Issue Date, the Company and the Guarantors will enter into the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement with the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, the Trustee and the 2028 Private Exchange Notes Trustee. The Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement will provide for the ability of the Company in the future to designate additional Indebtedness to be secured, on a pari passu basis, by the Liens held by the Second Lien Collateral Trustee securing the Obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in respect of the Notes and the 2028 Private Exchange Notes. The Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement will also set forth the terms on which the Second Lien Collateral Trustee will receive, hold, administer, maintain and distribute the Collateral at any time delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee as the subject of the Security Documents and on which the Second Lien Collateral Trustee will, subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, enforce the Security Documents and all interests, rights, powers and remedies of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee with respect thereto or thereunder and the proceeds thereof. As of the Issue Date, the Notes and the 2028 Private Exchange Notes will be the only Indebtedness subject to the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement.

Appendix 2 - 7

Second Lien Collateral Trustee

Ankura Trust Company, LLC has been appointed pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement to serve as the Second Lien Collateral Trustee for the benefit of itself and:

To secure payment of the Second Lien Secured Obligations, a lien will be granted by the Company and the Guarantors in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee for the benefit of all Second Priority Secured Parties, in the right, title and interest of the Company and the Guarantors in the Collateral, in accordance with the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement, the other Security Documents and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

The Second Lien Collateral Trustee will hold (directly or through co-trustees or agents), and will be entitled to enforce, subject to the terms of the Indenture, the 2028 Private Exchange Notes Indenture, the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement, the other Security Documents and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all Liens on the Company’s and the Guarantors’ right, title and interest in the Collateral created by the Security Documents.

The Second Lien Collateral Trustee will not commence any exercise of remedies or any foreclosure actions or otherwise take any action or proceeding against any of the Collateral (other than actions as necessary to prove, protect or preserve the Liens securing the Second Lien Secured Obligations) unless and until it shall have been directed in writing by an Act of Required Second Priority Secured Parties to the extent required by the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement and subject to the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, however, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee will require an Act of Required Second Priority Secured Parties and/or delivery of instructions and any documentation to act under the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement only to the extent that an Act of Required Second Priority Secured Parties and/or delivery of instructions and any documentation are required in connection with an act of such type pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement.

Voting

In connection with any matter under the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement requiring a vote of Holders of the Notes and holders of any other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu second lien basis with the Obligations under the Notes (including the 2028 Private Exchange Notes), the holders of each series of such debt will cast their votes in accordance with the documentation with respect thereto. The amount of such debt to be voted will equal (1) the aggregate principal amount of such debt held by the holders of such series plus (2) other than in connection with an exercise of remedies, the aggregate unfunded commitments to extend credit which, when funded, would constitute Funded Debt of such series. Following and in accordance with the outcome of the applicable vote under the documentation with respect to such debt, the Secured Debt Representative of each series of such debt will cast all of its votes as a block in respect of any vote under the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement.

Enforcement of Liens

If the Second Lien Collateral Trustee at any time receives written notice that any Secured Debt Default has occurred under any Secured Debt Document that entitles the Second Lien Collateral Trustee to foreclose upon, collect or otherwise enforce its Liens under the Security Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee will promptly deliver written notice thereof to each Secured Debt Representative. Thereafter, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee may await direction by an Act of Required Second Priority Secured Parties and will act, or decline to act, as directed by

Appendix 2 - 8

an Act of Required Second Priority Secured Parties in each case to the extent required by the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement and subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in the exercise and enforcement of rights and remedies against the Collateral or under the Security Documents or applicable law. Following the initiation of such exercise of rights and remedies, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee will act, or decline to act, with respect to the manner of such exercise of rights and remedies as directed by an Act of Required Second Priority Secured Parties in each case to the extent required by the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement.

Collateral Sharing Equally and Ratably Within Class

The Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement provides that the payment and satisfaction of all of the Second Lien Secured Obligations will be secured equally and ratably by the Liens on the Company’s and Guarantors’ right, title and interest in the Collateral established in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the Security Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement. The Secured Debt Representative of each future series of Secured Indebtedness will be required to deliver a joinder to the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement to the Second Lien Collateral Trustee and each other Secured Debt Representative at the time of incurrence of such series of Secured Indebtedness.

Relative Rights

Nothing in the Indenture or the Security Documents will:

First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement

The First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement defines the terms of the relationship between the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties, including the holders of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, at any time at which First Lien Secured Obligations are outstanding (whether incurred prior to, on or after the Issue Date), the First Priority Secured Parties, acting through the Designated First Priority Representative shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any enforcement action with respect to the Collateral (including as to determining and directing the time, method and place for exercising such rights or taking actions), without any consultation with or consent of any Second Priority Secured Party. Until such time when all First Lien Secured Obligations have been discharged in full, the Second Priority Secured Parties will not be permitted to enforce the security interests, or otherwise take any enforcement action against, the Collateral even if an event of default with respect to the Notes, or any other Second Lien Secured Obligations, has occurred and/or any such Second Lien Secured Obligations have been accelerated, except under limited circumstances; provided that (x) the Second Lien Collateral Trustee will have the right to (a) take any action it deems necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of the Liens on Collateral or to create, preserve or protect (but not enforce) the Liens in the Collateral, (b) purchase (by credit bid or otherwise) all or any portion of the Collateral in connection with any enforcement of remedies by the Designated First Priority Representative to the extent that, and so long as, the First Priority Secured Parties receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Secured Obligations after giving effect thereto, (c) file a proof of claim with respect to the Notes, (d) file any necessary or appropriate responsive pleadings in opposition to any motion, adversary proceeding or other pleading objecting to or otherwise seeking disallowance of the claim or Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee or any Holder of the Notes, (e) file any pleadings, objections, motions, or agreements which assert rights available to unsecured creditors of the Company arising under any insolvency or liquidation proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, and (f) vote on any plan of reorganization in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding of the Company, in each case (a) through (f) above to the extent such action is not otherwise prohibited by or inconsistent with, or would not result in a resolution inconsistent with, the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

Appendix 2 - 9

The liens granted or purported to be granted to secure the First Lien Secured Obligations will be senior in priority to the liens securing the Second Lien Secured Obligations regardless of the date, time, manner or order of filing or recording of any document or instrument or grant, attachment or perfection of such liens (or any actual or alleged defect in any of the foregoing). Notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, any applicable law, any documents governing Second Lien Secured Obligations or otherwise, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties will agree that (a) any Lien on the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any First Lien Secured Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any First Priority Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, shall have priority over and be senior in all respects to any Lien on the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Second Lien Secured Obligations and (b) any Lien on the Collateral securing or purporting to secure Second Lien Secured Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Second Priority Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, will be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing or purporting to secure the First Lien Secured Obligations. All Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Secured Obligations will be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Second Lien Secured Obligations for all purposes, regardless of whether such Liens securing or purporting to secure any First Lien Secured Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person or otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed. Only after the time when all First Lien Secured Obligations have been discharged in full will any proceeds of Collateral or distributions in respect of the Second Lien Secured Obligations in any bankruptcy case or other insolvency proceeding be distributed on account of, or applied to, the Second Lien Secured Obligations. So long as the First Lien Secured Obligations are outstanding (whether incurred prior to, on or after the Issue Date), any Collateral, including without limitation any such Collateral constituting proceeds, that may be received by any Second Priority Secured Party in violation of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Designated First Priority Representative, for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties, in the same form as received.

The Second Lien Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, will agree pursuant to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement that it will not (and will waive any right to) contest or support any other person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any insolvency or liquidation proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, allowability, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing or the allowability or value of any claims asserted with respect to, any First Lien Secured Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of the First Priority Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor in any Collateral.

Upon any release, sale or disposition of Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the documents for the First Lien Secured Obligations that results in the release of the Lien on any Collateral securing the First Lien Secured Obligations (excluding any sale or other disposition that is not permitted by the agreements governing the Second Lien Secured Obligations unless such sale or disposition is consummated in connection with an enforcement action or other exercise of remedies after an event of default or consummated after the institution of any insolvency proceeding), the Lien on such Collateral securing the Second Lien Secured Obligations (excluding any portion of the proceeds of such Collateral remaining after the First Lien Secured Obligations are paid in full) shall be automatically and unconditionally released with no further consent or action of any Person; provided that the Liens securing the Second Lien Secured Obligations shall attach to (subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) any proceeds of a sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral not paid to the First Priority Secured Parties or that remain after the discharge in full of First Lien Secured Obligations.

The First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement will provide that prior to such time when all First Lien Secured Obligations have been discharged in full, if the security documents with respect to the First Lien Secured Obligations are amended, waived or modified for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions therein or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or modification shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the security documents with respect to the Second Lien Secured Obligations so long as such amendments, waivers or modifications (i) do not have the effect of releasing any Collateral securing the Second Lien Secured Obligations unless otherwise provided in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or permitted under the documents

Appendix 2 - 10

governing the Second Lien Secured Obligations and provided there is a corresponding release of the Lien securing the First Lien Secured Obligations, (ii) do not impose any additional duties on a representative for the holders of the Second Lien Secured Obligations without its consent , (iii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the representative for the Second Priority Secured Parties no later than ten business days after its effectiveness and (iv) any such amendment, waiver or modification that materially and adversely affects the rights of the holders of the Second Lien Secured Obligations and does not affect the First Priority Secured Parties in a like or similar manner shall not apply to the security documents with respect to the Second Lien Secured Obligations without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee (as directed or with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Secured Obligations. The First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement will also provide that prior to such time when all First Lien Secured Obligations have been discharged in full, the security documents governing the Second Lien Secured Obligations may not be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified without the consent of the Designated First Priority Representative to the extent such amendment, supplement, restatement or modification would (w) adversely affect the lien priority rights of the First Priority Secured Parties or the rights of the First Priority Secured Parties to receive payments owing pursuant to the documents governing the First Lien Secured Obligations, (x) add any Liens securing the Collateral (other than to the extent permitted under the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement), (y) confer any additional rights on the Second Priority Secured Parties in a manner adverse to the First Priority Secured Parties or (z) contravene the provisions of the Indenture.

Further, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement will provide that, if the Company or any Guarantor is subject to any bankruptcy case or other insolvency proceeding, among other things, the representatives for, and holders of, the Second Lien Secured Obligations:

Appendix 2 - 11

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any bankruptcy case or other insolvency proceeding of the Company or any Guarantor, (i) if any First Priority Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any debtor-in-possession financing or use of cash collateral, then the Second Priority Secured Parties may seek or accept adequate protection solely (x) in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Secured Obligations and related adequate protection and the Liens securing such debtor-in-possession financing on a junior basis, (y) for superpriority administrative expense claims junior in all respects to the superpriority administrative expense claims granted to the First Priority Secured Parties and (z) subject to the right of the First Priority Secured Parties to object thereto, for the payment of post-petition interest at the pre-default rate (provided, in the case of this clause (z), that the First Priority Secured Parties have been granted adequate protection in the form of post-petition interest), provided, however, that the representative for the Second Priority Secured Parties shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority administrative expense claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims and (ii) in the event the representative for the Second Priority Secured Parties, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, seeks or accepts adequate protection in accordance with clause (i) above and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then such representative, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that the First Priority Secured Parties shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Lien Secured Obligations and any applicable debtor-in-possession financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Lien Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Lien Secured Obligations and any such debtor-in-possession financing (and all obligations relating thereto).

The Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date if the Notes have not been redeemed prior to such date):

For a description of the procedures applicable to a redemption of all or part of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture described in this section, see “—Selection and Notice.”

Mandatory Redemption

On the first interest payment date following the fifth anniversary of the “issue date” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2 of the Notes, and on each interest payment date thereafter, the Company shall redeem a portion of the principal amount of each then outstanding Note in an amount equal to the AHYDO Catch-Up Payment for such interest payment date with respect to such Note. The “AHYDO Catch-Up Payment” for a particular interest payment date with respect to a Note means the minimum principal prepayment sufficient to ensure that as of the close of such interest payment date, the aggregate amount which would be includible in gross income with respect to such Note before the close of such interest payment date (as described in Section 163(i)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) does not exceed the sum (described in Section 163(i)(2)(B) of the Code) of (i) the aggregate amount of interest to be paid on the Note (including for this purpose any AHYDO Catch-Up Payments) before the close of such interest payment date plus (ii) the product of the issue price of the Note (as defined in Section 1273(b) of the Code) and its yield to maturity (within the meaning of Section 163(i)(2)(B) of the Code), with the result that the Notes are not treated as having “significant original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1)(C) of the Code. It is intended that no Note will be an “applicable high yield discount obligation” (an “AHYDO”) within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, and this provision will be interpreted consistently with such intent. The computations and determinations required in connection with any AHYDO Catch-Up Payment will be made by the Company in its good faith reasonable discretion and will be binding upon the Holders absent manifest error.

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

If a Change of Control occurs, the Company will offer to repurchase all or any part (equal to a minimum denomination of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the Indenture; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date if the Notes have not been redeemed or repurchased prior to such date) (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will send a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The

Appendix 2 - 13

Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

On the Change of Control payment date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

The paying agent will promptly send to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control payment date.

The provisions described above that require us to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the Notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described above under the caption “—Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

If a Change of Control Offer is made, the Company may not have available funds sufficient to pay the Change of Control Payment for all of the Notes that might be delivered by Holders of the Notes seeking to accept the Change of Control Offer. The Company’s failure to make or consummate the Change of Control Offer or pay the Change of Control Payment when due will give the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes the rights described under “—Events of Default and Remedies.”

The existence of a Holder’s right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes upon a Change of Control may deter a third party from acquiring the Company in a transaction which constitutes a Change of Control.

The provisions of the Indenture will not afford Holders of the Notes the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or certain transactions with the Company’s management or Affiliates, including a reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction (including, in certain circumstances, an acquisition of the Company by management or its affiliates) involving the Company that may adversely affect Holders of the Notes, if such transaction is not a transaction defined as a Change of Control.

Appendix 2 - 14

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a Holder of Notes to require us to repurchase the Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain. In addition, Holders of the Notes may not be entitled to require the Company to repurchase their Notes in certain circumstances involving a significant change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors, including, in connection with the proxy contest where the Company’s Board of Directors does not endorse a dissident slate of directors but approves them as Continuing Directors. In this regard, a decision of the Delaware Chancery Court (not involving the Company or its securities) considered a change of control provision of an indenture governing publicly traded debt securities substantially similar to the change of control event described in clause (5) of the definition of Change of Control. In its decision, the court noted that a board of directors may “approve” a dissident shareholder’s nominees solely for purposes of such an indenture; provided the board of directors determines in good faith that the election of the dissident nominees would not be materially adverse to the interests of the corporation or its stockholders (without taking into consideration the interests of the holders of debt securities in making this determination).

The Credit Agreements contain, and other Indebtedness of the Company may contain, prohibitions on the occurrence of events that would constitute a Change of Control or require that Indebtedness be repurchased upon a Change of Control. A Change of Control will constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreements and, unless the Company were able to obtain a waiver from the requisite lenders under the Credit Agreements, the terms of the Credit Agreements would prohibit the Company’s purchase of the Notes in the event the Company is required to make a Change of Control Offer. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain a waiver from the requisite lenders under the Credit Agreements to purchase the Notes in connection with a Change of Control. In addition, if a Change of Control Offer occurs, there can be no assurance that the Company will have available funds sufficient to make the Change of Control Payment for all of the Notes that might be delivered by Holders seeking to accept the Change of Control Offer, or to make any other payment that may be required of us in respect of the Company’s other Indebtedness. In the event the Company is required to purchase outstanding Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, the Company would expect to seek third-party financing to the extent the Company does not have available funds to meet the Company’s purchase obligations and any other obligations in respect of the Company’s other Indebtedness. However, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain the necessary financing. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—We may not be able to satisfy our repurchase obligations in the event of a change of control because the terms of our indebtedness or lack of funds may prevent us from doing so.”

Asset Sales

The Company will not, and it will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

Appendix 2 - 15

Within 180 days from the later of the date of an Asset Sale or the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds, at its option:

Appendix 2 - 16

Notwithstanding the above, within 180 days from the later of the date of an Asset Sale relating to, or the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale relating to, B.I. Incorporated or a material portion of its business or sale (including Sale and Leasebacks Transactions) of GEO HQ, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) must apply such Net Proceeds to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase First Lien Secured Obligations or to make an Asset Sale Offer as described below and such Net Proceeds shall not be permitted to be applied as set forth in clauses (2) – (5) above.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds as cash or in Cash Equivalents.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph, or that the Company determines will not be applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph, will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When (1) the amount of Excess Proceeds received from any individual Asset Sale exceeds $7.5 million or (2) the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds received (x) during any fiscal year of the Company exceeds $22.5 million or (y) at any time during the term of the Notes exceeds $75.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and, at the Company’s option, all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment and lien priority with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture (for example, the Company’s 2028 Private Exchange Notes) with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase on a pro rata basis the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness shall be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 180-day period (or later period as described above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds in an amount equal to or less than the amount set forth in clause (1), (2)(x) or (2)(y), as applicable, of the first sentence of this paragraph.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulation conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

The agreements governing the Company’s other Indebtedness prohibit certain events, including certain types of Asset Sales. The terms of the Credit Agreements may prohibit the Company’s purchase of the Notes in the event the Company was required to make an Asset Sale Offer. In addition, the exercise by the Holders of Notes of their right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes in connection with an Asset Sale Offer could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Asset Sale itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on the Company. Finally, the Company’s ability to pay cash to the Holders of Notes upon a repurchase may be limited by the Company’s then-existing financial resources.

Appendix 2 - 17

Selection and Notice

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase as follows:

No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail or electronically or otherwise in accordance with DTC procedures at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent 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 Indenture. As long as the Notes are issued in global form, notices to be given to Holders will be given to DTC, in accordance with its applicable policies as in effect from time to time. Any notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, 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 (or cause to be transferred by book entry) 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. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

Certain Covenants

Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Transactions; Certain Calculations

When calculating the compliance with or availability under any basket, test or ratio under the Indenture or compliance with any provision of the Indenture in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

For the avoidance of doubt, (a) if the Company has made an LCT Election and any of the baskets, tests or ratios for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are thereafter exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such basket, test or ratio (including due to fluctuations of the Company or the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations (provided, however, that if any tests or ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved test, ratios or baskets may be utilized) and (b) such baskets, tests or ratios shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions. If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition

Appendix 2 - 18

Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any basket, test or ratio on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such basket, test or ratio shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) had been consummated.

For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including any leverage ratio), other than compliance with the financial covenants set forth under “—Certain Financial Covenants,” such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

For purposes of calculating pro forma adjustments to any financial ratio or test, pro forma effect shall be given to acquisitions that have been made by the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including through mergers or consolidations and including any related financing transactions, during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to the Calculation Date will be given pro forma effect as if they had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no duty to calculate, or verify the calculation, of any ratio, basket, amount or test in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction.

Restricted Payments

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

Appendix 2 - 19

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

Appendix 2 - 20

So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the preceding provisions will not prohibit:

Appendix 2 - 21

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock.

The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as set forth below (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

Appendix 2 - 22

(ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

Appendix 2 - 23
